Cassandra Carr has become an author I can rely on to entertain and with Velocity she has me dying to read the previous books in this series as I instantly fell in love with this one.  Ms. Carr has again brought us into the rugged world of bull riding with this fourth book in the Buckin' Bull Riders series.  Paolo is the younger brother of the accomplished Marco and the two of them set out from Italy to make names for themselves on the bull riding circuit.  Marco has been succeeding but Paolo's left frustrated, constantly left in Marco's shadow.  He's been sensing it's time for a change but it's not until he meets the smart and accomplished Savannah that he really starts reevaluating his life as he wants to make himself more worthy of a relationship with her.  When the two meet the sparks immediately fly and they engage in a combustible relationship between the sheets that they both hope leads to more.This book isn't all about sex though as the very real issues that plague Paolo are brought to the forefront.  He's lost and confused about what he wants to do in life.  He wants his brother and family proud of him but isn't sure how to go about making something of himself separate from his brother.  I ached for him through his constant indecision and need to be something more.  He's immensely charming and suave and I liked the realism of his problems speaking English showing up occasionally.  When he spoke in his native Italian though, boy howdy, was he especially hot!  I also liked Savannah and the support she gave to Paolo.  She's smart but never made Paolo feel inferior.  She supported him every step of the way, never pushing him, just being there to listen and encourage.  It made their relationship even more believable as they clicked not only in the bedroom but out as well.Ms. Carr has created another winner with two immensely likable characters dealing with real life issues in a reasonable way while nicely retaining some super sexy interactions.  Not having read the other books in this series in no way diminished my enjoyment of Velocity.  It instead has heightened my desire to read the others and keeps Ms. Carr on my list of go-to authors.
