This was such a sweet story. I liked how there was more to it than you first thought. The author expressed such emotions through the characters, you could really see it as you read.

What do you do when your younger brother has decided to become a bull rider. Well, in order to protect him as best you can, you suck up your pride and ask the one person you shouldn't. Bodie Hadley

Yup, that Bodie Hadley, the one from the family you have been feuding with for generations. He is the one person who can guide her brother and her so she will pull up her big girl panties and hire him.

This Tule Publication follows the style they are known for...strong men, women, and love.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

It took me a bit to really get into this book as it seemed kind of silly for Caitlin to want to all of a sudden take on a dangerous job and not talk to her family about her brother wanting to become a bull rider. After the attempts on her life, the story really got more interesting and the added drama kept me reading to the end.

Caitlin's brothers seemed kind of like bullies and what was going on with Ian was never fully explained. I don't know if he will have his own book and we will then learn about him but if not, I feel kind of cheated! I am glad that we find out more about the two past events and that all was not known about what happened.

Nice HEA but it was too quick - wish there was a bit more as I really liked Bodie and Caitlin together!

Leah Vale has created in The Bull Rider’s Second Chance a story with remarkable realism in its multidimensional/faceted characters, along with a fast paced, intriguing plot that kept the pages turning at a rapid pace. With the author’s intricately descriptive and crafted writing, I was transported into the eye of the story. At times, I could very well have been standing directly in the scene witnessing it unfold in realtime, that’s how finely crafted the writing was. I’m genuinely looking forward to the next installment of the series.

Overall I really liked this one. Caitlin faces her fears of bulls by trying to become a bullfighter. She wants to protect her little brother who wants to ride them in the rodeo. Then there is Bodie, a hunky ex-bullrider, who is perfect to teach them both. Trouble is, there is animosity between the families, and when Bodie was gored years ago, Caitlin's cousin died in the arena. A good story, with lots of mystery too, as someone is trying to hurt someone, but whether it was Caitlin, Bodie or someone else as the target is unknown. The only thing I didn't care much for was the bad guy giving a long speech at the end. Didn't seem the type. Also, didn't really see any teaching of Caitlin. Otherwise, I highly recommend this book and author. Hard to put down.

The story of Caitlin and Bodie. From rival families, but now she needs his help.

I didn't understand how they could have grown up so close toeach other, and with the rest of their famileis knowing each other, yet they had never met before.

The Bull Rider's Second Chance by Leah Vale a new to me author. This book has great character development perfect for the storyline and dialogue that pulled me in from the first chapter. I look forward to reading more by this author.
