This book was so entertaining. I was drawn into the story from the beginning and was involved until the end. The characters were complex and interesting. I found the story to be well paced and engrossing throughout the whole book. I was invested in the couple throughout the book and felt all the emotions through both the highs and lows of the story.The side characters were such an integral part of this story as well. This is the love story i needed to read at this time. If you want an entertaining and well written book this is it for you

Very much loved this story and the ride it took me on (no pun intended). Had everything as a Megan Crane book always does! Awesome hero and well matched heroine. Lots of emotion, drama and action and lovin. Loved it very much!!!!! Don't miss out on this one, Cody and Skylar were fab-tastic!

This was a fun and fast read that was H-O-T and satisfying! Skylar has moved home to Billings to try to turn around her life after losing her fiance and into her life walks Cody, an aging bull rider who knows his days on the circuit are numbered. These two are perfect together. Skylar has never run this hot but Cody treats her like she is on fire and the chemistry burns up the pages. This was a page turner but thoroughly well written and yummy. Definitely recommended!

4 Who Are We Really Stars
* * * * Spoiler Free
Oh, these tales just get me. With this fourth entry to the American Extreme Bull Riders Tour series, you get to experience two people who are trying to figure out who they are at this stage in their lives. With this tale you have the expert hands of Megan Crane leading you on a journey of surprisingly sensual awakening, deep examination of who we are, what do we want out of our lives and a growing, intense realization of how deeply these main characters love each other.

In other words, this book has moments which will take your breath away. I am not kidding.

This starts with us meeting Skylar Grey. She is a woman who has experienced the tragedy of losing her first and only love much too soon. Her fiance death 2 years ago changed everything for Skylar. At first she couldn't breath or move.

Then she had to endure the new view people had of her- the fiancé widow, this woman who will never be the wife she was supposed to be...this tragic figure...With all the I'm Sorry for Your Loss circling around her, she could barely breathe. Then there was a segue way into this new way of treating Skylar... this forgetting who she had always been, vital and open. Now every single person she saw would treat her as if the death that happened, could some how rub off on them... and so they handled her with kit gloves.

The friends she had with Thayer in Atlanta were difficult for her to be around... memories and all that. Also these friends felt so comfortable with Skylar remaining the fiancé widow and not moving on with her life.

So, Skylar took herself home to Billings, Montana. She had hoped with her being away for the last 18 years, no one would "know" her... but unfortunately at her father's big July 4th party, an excuse for Grey's Sporting Goods to take advantage of the AEBR tour being in town and populate his party, this proved to not be the case. Strangers did the consoling thing and Skylar had to just smile and take it.

Cody Galen had done these parties with sponsors at the local level so many times he could do it in his sleep. All he cared about was that the whiskey was decent and the women easy. His life was coming to a crossroads and he had no time for anything complicated or confusing. He had decided this was the last tour for him. He had had buckles, buckle bunnies and now he just wanted to finish high in the standings and alive.

Yes, alive and not broken was the key...because riding bulls was the most dangerous sport out there...there was nothing protecting these men during those slow/fast moving 8 seconds in the ring. The ride was the most exciting, thrilling and scary as hell experience anyone could have, yet all these bull riders lived for it. If Cody could finish the tour and get out, his next unknown was what the hell was he going to do with himself...as he never had truly planned ahead.

Neither Cody Galen or Skylar Grey had planned or thought possible what would happen when Skylar opened the front door that fateful July 4th...There was this mountain of a man looking directly at Skylar...

There was no sympathy, no pretend concern... just a little curiosity and then an open assessment of her being a woman while he looked at her as if he had already stripped her of her clothes and was ready to take her. Skylar didn't lurch away...she stood her ground and for the first time in a long time, she felt alive... with her blood rushing through her veins. When Cody asked if this was the Grey's house, Skylar made the error of asking if he was here for the party...Because Cody then responded with a comment that let her know he was open to partying hard, wild or not at all...

Oh, My....

I read this story from beginning to end...and didn't stop. Both of these people need each other to find themselves. They are freer and more alive... they see how they are finally able to see clearly what they want. Cody knows from the start getting Skylar to see him as someone who is committed to making this work will be a challenge because the tables have been turned... He falls hard and wants her first...for real and always... She needs convincing and needs to allow herself to know her inner truth.

As you can tell this book just touched me and there are scenes between these two that are smokin' hot! but also so well done... the crafting was top notch. Megan Crane knows how to write and with this entry to a strong series, she made it all the stronger.

OMG!!!! This book was fantastic. Cody is my new favorite cowboy!!! I hope that this author keeps writing books in this genre as she is wonderful at it.

This book opens with a women Skylar Grey who lost her fiancé two years ago in a car accident moving back to Montana from Atlanta where she has lived from college and after. Now thinking that she has a fresh start and not all of the sympathy that she was getting in Atlanta, she is finding out she is receiving the same treatment in Montana. Now she has meet a stunning looking cowboy at her father’s 4th of July bar b Q. Not expecting to see the cowboy see is surprised when he shows up where she is sitting off by herself. Cody Galen was a champion bull rider and is in the last year of riding even though he has not told anyone. He also hates having to do these corporate shindigs. But here he was looking at a beautiful women and wouldn’t you know it later in the night he sees here sitting by herself after he thought she was gone. Now after they have their own fireworks which actually was great for Skylar she walks away just saying thank you. He feels like he has just been thrown and he was not on a bull. He has never felt this way before. The problem he does not know her name. She on the other hand feels good that she does not know the cowboys name, and now at another corporate gathering for her father’s company. Her father introduces her to bull riding champion Cody Galen, and yes she knows who he is and now she also knows who the cowboy she was with that made her feel again. Actually feel more than she has felt before. This is where the story takes off because she actually takes off with him. Her family and friends go crazy and when they finally have a two week break he takes her to some property he owns and tells her his dreams. She does not want to hear that or that he loves her and after a huge fight he drives her to an airport so she can make it to her brother’s wedding. The problem is all she is thinking about is a cowboy and how she left things. Now when said cowboy has tracked her down to her families’ bar that looks like it was out of the old west she can’t move as he walks to her. Describe like a scene from an old western movie everyone parts and the ending of this book is just as good as the beginning. The characters and dialogue really make this story stand out, and it is very much worth the read. Find out what happens. A very good book.

Cody is another great story from the series. The story is great with two amazing characters: Skyler who is searching for her identity and Cody who is a loner. But one night changes everything. For once in his life Cody wants more. And for Skyler she meets someone who really sees her and not the widow. Great story with great unexpected end. I loved both of them their love story is truly beautiful.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

Another great story from the American Extreme Bull Riders, Cody is all about pain and suffering and hope and second chances. The story moves along at a clipping pace as bull rider Cody Galen and up till now all round good girl Skylar Grey embark on a wildly passionate fling that somehow becomes so much more for both of them.
I love Megan Crane's ability to make in-your-face characters real. She really cuts through the "nice" and presents the raw and messy, then picks up the pieces and allows her protagonists to heal each other.
This story bears all the hallmarks of Megan's gritty writing style, sucking you in from the get go, putting you through a maelstrom of emotional experiences and spitting you out at the end thoroughly entertained and satisfied. More please!

"Cody" is a must have story in the 4th book of the 'American Extreme Bull Riders Tour' series! Skylar is still in a two year mourning period when she lays eyes on Cody. The connections between them is instant and hot! They both have a somewhat dysfunctional family, but the story revolves around Cody and Skylar's budding hot sexy romance, with new understandings on both of their parts to give them their HEA. It was so good, the intensity of the story kept me turning the pages, and I read it straight through. Who doesn't love a rodeo star that rides bulls? There was everything you could want in a great western romance. Hot steamy sex, emotional, angst, fun, family issues, and a lot of other feelings that the reader will enjoy. I would like to thank NetGalley and Tule Pub. for gifting me "Cody". My opinion is my own. This is mine. 4.5 Stars!

Megan Crane should really write about professional boxers. She understands the one-two knockout punch like nobody else. Nails you with sex, then hammers it home with feeling. And you're out for the count! There's no one quite like her.

I enjoy Megan Crane’s Harlequin Presents (penned under Caitlin Crews). The heroes are HP typical alpha-holes, but the angst – how I loves it! When I saw CODY, I was so excited to read it, especially after reading Kelly Hunter’s CASEY. CODY, sadly, did not work for me. Let me count the ways.


Skylar is, two years later, still mourning the tragic death of her fiancé. She feels trapped in a cycle of grief, and has moved back home to Montana, to her childhood home, to try to put her life back into perspective. When a sexy cowboy shows up at the front door during one of her father’s shindigs, she is intrigued. Later that evening, their paths cross again, and they have mad, passionate sex on the picnic table. With the party going on just a short distance away. And they still don’t know each other’s first name. And I was kind of done with it at that point.

The first chapter really grabbed me. I could feel Skylar’s grief and her frustration with her new normal. But then I thought everything went off the rails, including my emotional attachment to the story. Sex with Cody “saved” Skylar, and I just didn’t buy that. Sex without commitment has no depth, and that’s my biggest gripe with the story.

The lack of depth drove me nuts, and I never got the impression that Cody and Skylar’s relationship developed beyond the physical. Skylar kept Cody at arm’s length almost the entire story. I wasn’t convinced that what they have is an HEA, and without the epilogue, I for sure would considered their relationship short-term. While I liked Skylar, I never really warmed up to Cody, a self-described “dick.” I don’t feel that I ever got to know either of them. Maybe if the story had been longer it would have felt more developed, but in the end, CODY left me wanting more.

Grade: 2.75 stars

Skylar Grey lost her fiancée and her identity. She's tired living with grief. She decides to go home and leave her past behind her. There she meets Cody Galen. He's a champion in the American Extreme Bull Riders Tour. He's a loner who has family issues. They are drawn to each other and find a passion that consumes them. Can they find a new life? I loved seeing them let down their guard and open their hearts. I wanted them to find peace and happiness with each other. Megan Crane has written a fiercely passionate romance that pulled me in. The Greys are an interesting family with plenty of drama.The dialogue is both emotional and touching. This series has pulled me in. I can't wait for more.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.

I really enjoyed this rodeo romance.

I absolutely loved Cody and Skylar. They were meant to be together. Skylar was so ready to move on with her life so a chance meeting with a sexy, charming bull rider was just the spark to start her on the road to healing after her fiance's tragic death. So she ran away with the rodeo. I loved that aspect of the story. Skylar took a chance and spread her wings because she was done with living up to what everyone else expected of her. I love an independent heroine. Cody was the sweet sexy cowboy who eventually won her heart but it took a fair bit of drama.

This was a very romantic book that has hooked me on The American Extreme Bull Riders Tour.

This is Book 4 in The American Extreme Bull Riders Tour. Skylar has moved back home to Montana 2 years after her fiancé had been killed in Atlanta. She’s so tired of the sympathy! She wants something more but doesn’t know what. She does know that he’s tired of having to live her life like her fiancé had just died 2 weeks ago and not 2 years. Then she open’s the front door of her father’s house and meets Cody, a Professional Bull Rider. Her life has just changed and she doesn’t even realize it. This was a really sweet romance between 2 people, one who doesn’t care what people think of him and one who doesn’t want to make anyone fee bad. So what happens? Read it and see for yourself. (But here’s a secret: Could you pass up a hot cowboy who rides bulls for a living? I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from Netgalley

I’ve been enjoying the American Extreme Bull Riders series but this one, sadly, not so much.

Here’s what’s going on. Skylar’s finding her feet after her fiancé’s death and being back in her hometown hasn’t made it easy. Cody’s earned the reputation of being a ‘bad boy’ and that’s fine with him because all he wants to do is win the money so he can help his half-sisters. Although now that Cody’s met Skyler, he’s starting to wondering if there can be more for him than bull riding.

Okay, so this one had potential to be interesting but everything about it seemed forced and repetitive. Yes, I felt for Skylar because she lost her fiancé but the fact that she was constantly going on about getting sympathetic looks from people and practicing her ‘widows smile’ just got a bit old and when she finally decided to break free and get a little wild, it felt forced. And Cody was constantly going on and on about how he was a ‘bad boy’. Every page stated that he was a bad boy, so it got old real quick.

The romance was more like insta-lust. Seriously, they went from meeting for the first time at the door of her father’s house to wild monkey sex on the picnic table in less than an hour. And it continued like that from there. I didn’t really buy the romance that they were selling.

So, this is the second book by Megan Crane that I’ve read and I really don’t think her writing style is for me. Both books have had the same effect on me and, honestly, I had to force myself to pay attention to both of them.

Overall, this one just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Loved this cowboy. Love this author. I need a cowboy like Cody in my life. One can only dream right? I'm hoping Megan Crane writes more cowboy books. She did an amazing job. Fantastic read.

Skylar returns home to Montana a few years after her fiancee passes away as a way to start over. Upon her return to her family home, she meets Cody who happens to be a bull rider. On a whim Skylar decides to travel the rodeo with Cody as a way to forget her past and promising herself that she wouldn't get attached to him. This was a good read. The story kept my attention. I've read other books by Megan Crane and this one does not disappoint.

Loved it.

I'm not generally a fan of cowboys or bull-riding but I read and enjoyed Casey so I looked out for other books in the Bull Riders series. For the record, each book is by a different author. I lurve Megan Crane's books so this was a no-brainer when I saw it on NetGalley.

Skylar Grey has returned to her father's home in Billings Montana after the death of her fiancé in a car crash two years ago. The middle child, the peacekeeper, Skylar feels like some kind of walking cliche. All anyone ever says or does in relation to her is sympathy foe the death of Thayer. Sometimes she feels like she has ceased to exist as a separate person. At her father's annual Fourth of July party she escapes yet another well-meaning but irritating guest offering their opinions about her emotional state when she opens the door to a cowboy.

Cody Galen is the old man of bull-riding at the age of 30. A walking cliche: the hard drinking, buckle bunny chasing, taciturn loner, Cody knows that this is his last year on the tour. Forced to attend a tour mixer hosted by some local big shot in Billings he is pole-axed by the elegant, calm, 'nice' woman who opens the door.

Whilst everyone around them tells them this is wrong can Cody and Skylar make something real from a one night stand?

Although this was plenty sexy, it was romantic rather than the full on steamy "give me a cloth to wipe my face" sex I've come to expect from Megan Crane's Edge series.

Megan Crane flips the tables with this cowboy, despite his past Cody forges a deep connection with Skylar almost immediately and breaks his own rules about never going back. Skylar, on the other hand, the 'good girl' is more than happy with a no strings relationship based entirely on sex.

I've got to get my hands on the other books in this series, a lot of them are written by some of my go-to authors.

This is the forth book in this series by this author. This author has a fab way of writing anything, you are guaranteed a fantastic book with this author. The characters are amazing and very well written. This is a sexy hot story from this author. I can't wait to read more from them in the future.
Highly recommended
