Somehow I've managed to skip book three in the Buckin Bullriders series. So I will have a review for that coming up in the next several weeks. That's Marco's book, and definitely not one to miss! But this week I had an interview with Cassandra Carr for Velocity, and now here is my review for Paolo's book.Before I started this book I wasn't sure how I was going to like Paolo. I mean, sure, the cover is awesome, and the model is perfection. But an Italian bullrider? Do they even exist? I'm sure they must, but it's just not what I think of when I think of my favorite sexy cowboys. And then I had "met" Marco in previous books of this series, and he always struck me as cocky. So my bar was not as high as it had been for Conner or Brady.Stupid, stupid Liz.I read this book in one night. It was a nonstop reading marathon. I should have known better.Paolo is Marco's younger brother, and he followed Marco to the states when he was a teen. Now he is 23, and not entirely sure where is future will be. I found Paolo to be this sweet and caring guy. He wasn't shy, but he wasn't cocky. He has a quietness to him that really draws you to him. But then on top of that he is young and sexy, and Italian - so he's got the accent all locked up. And he is seductive in the way he acts and speaks, especially when he meets Savannah.What was she doing having careless flings with cowboys when she should be looking for someone to settle down with?Paolo reached for her hand and smiled at her, and she knew why she was with him.He made her happy.Savannah has come to the bullriding circuit because she is writing her college thesis on adrenalin junkies. She's not looking for romance, but when Paolo starts showing interest she thinks she may as well go for it and have a tour fling. She's no "buckle bunny", a term the riders use for bull riding groupies, but no one said fun isn't allowed! I liked her. Savannah struck me as intelligent and caring. There were times I felt she might be a little pushy, but it's only because she grew to quickly care for Paolo. She also was generous and a great addition to the Buckin' Bullriders family.To me, this story was about romance, hope, possibility and new beginnings. And there was of course some sexy action between Paolo and Savannah that positively made my kindle sweat. I thought this was a fantastic pairing between the two characters, they balanced each other perfectly. Where one was nervous and anxious, one was brave and explorative. When one would get scared about the status of their burgeoning relationship, the other was there to hold on tight.If you are a fan of Cassandra, this is definitely a book to read as soon as you can. She definitely held on for the whole 8 seconds in this book, and I'm positive you will love it as much as I did.
