This is a wonderful addition to the Buckin' Bull Riders series.Marco D'Allesandro is a successful bull rider on the NBT tour; he is from a wealthy family in Italy who own an Italian olive oil empire.  He moved to America against his family's wishes to pursue his dream of becoming a pro bull rider.Natalie Webster has recently started traveling with the NBT, learning the ropes by interviewing others so she can try-out for the female tour in eight weeks.  She is trying to learn as much as possible to be successful and keep her father's dream alive.Natalie wants to honor her father, as he was a bull rider in his youth, so at first Natalie pursues bronc riding to try to satisfy her father, however even though she is a little scared of the sport, she wants to try bull riding to remember him and feels he died working the ranch because he wanted to continue to provide everything for her.  Her father put so much into making things perfect for her, the ranch was in dire straits when he died and she had to sell everything, leaving her with barely enough to live on.Marco has a playboy reputation, however takes one look at Natalie in the stands and is immediately drawn to her and wants to meet her.  His protective attitude goes into overdrive when he takes her to where she is staying after dinner; it is a dump and he refuses to let her stay another night taking her back to his hotel.Marco uses his family's money to live on so always stays in the penthouses on the tour, when Natalie notices that he does not seem to care about money and has a poor attitude toward his father, she gets angry, as she is having a hard time dealing with her father's death and can't believe Marco would treat him so poorly.  However when he gets an ultimatum from his visiting uncle - come home or risk being financially cut off, she realizes he may be right to be angry.  Marco knew this day would come; he has been putting all his winnings away and has plenty of money to live on.  While he knows he needs to work on his over protectiveness and she needs to find her own way and not live for others, they know they are meant for each other.Momentum is an enjoyable addition to the Buckin' Bull Riders series.  Marco is a sexy Italian who wants to protect those he feels responsible for and right away he feels responsible for Natalie.  The chemistry between Natalie and Marco works; I like how their relationship grows from the very beginning.  I also like how former Buckin' Bull Riders appear throughout the story.  There is always something fun and exciting when reading about cowboys and rodeos.  Great read!
