Evie comes to the U.S. to surprise her boyfriend, Troy, only to find his with a buckle bunny. Tanner, a bull rider, realizes what is going on and shields her so Troy does not see her, and she can pull herself together. Knowing she does not have much money and with Tanner seeing her going to a cheap motel in a bad section of town, he takes it upon himself to watch over her. Sharing a hotel room, they let their attraction loose. When tragedy hits Tanner, Evie takes over and makes plans to get him home. She also knows she has time to kill before going back of Australia and figures she can repay his kindness by taking him home. She ends up fitting in very well at his ranch and in his life. Will she stay?

I enjoyed this book. It moved fast. I liked Evie and Tanner a lot. Troy was a jerk but that was good because Tanner and Evie would have never met. Both were strong willed and stubborn. Both wanted what they wanted. It was fun to watch who would win each time. I liked that they were reticent about their feelings since they only knew each other two weeks. But I did love the ending. I liked that they looked to the future and not just the present.

I look forward to more books from this author. ( )

Tanner is the story of Evie Forrester and her quest to surprise the man she has had a crush on for more than 10 years as he rides in the American Extreme Bull Riders' event in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a long way from her home of Forrester Landing in Australia. Evie feels foolish when she sees Troy with another woman. She struggles to find a decent place to stay for the next two weeks as she comes to terms with the fact that Troy never felt for her the way she felt for him.
In steps Tanner Harding who takes Evie in when she needs help the most, but it is Evie who ends up helping Tanner when an accident in the rodeo ring leaves Tanner with injuries that may end his rodeo career.
This was a good romance with lots of chemistry between Evie and Tanner. I had some problems with the idea that a woman who had almost completed vet school would be senseless enough to go to a foreign country with no plan and land in the bedroom of a stranger, but other than that minor flaw in the early part of the book, the rest of the story was a well written and an enjoyable, quick read. ( )

This was a nice read, not unpredictable, but well written nonetheless. Strong main characters and equally well thought out supporting characters made for an enjoyable few hours.

I really enjoyed reading the American Extreme Bull Riders series debut. I'm intrigued by the concept of each book being authored by someone different. I think it is going to be so much fun to read about all the different bull riders and it will guarantee they each have a unique voice.

The debut is a strong one. Tanner is an all around good guy who seems to almost always do the right thing. If you love the good guy you will want to pick this up. If you like a bad boy then Tanner might be a little boring for you, but I still think you should give him a try :) He is just so genuine and easily won my heart.

Evie is a great female lead who seems levelheaded and kind, even after the discovery she made at the start of the book. She traveled across the world for what she thought was true love to only end up devastated. She could have been bitter. Yes, she was guarded, but she kept such a great outlook even with the turmoil she was experiencing. Tanner steps in to help, because that just seems to be his way, and finds he needs Evie in his corner just as much as she needs him.

I adored watching the romance develop between Tanner and Evie. It was slow and sweet and when they finally come together you can't help but say "Awe". This was a great series start and a quick read. I'll definitely read the rest of the books in this series. ( )

This has been my favorite book, so far, of the American Extreme Bull Riders Series. Evie arrives from Australia to surprise her boyfriend, only she is the one surprised. Tanner has no reason to concern himself with this naïve young woman, but he can’t seem to help himself. And so, begins the budding relationship of Tanner, the gentleman cowboy & the sweet, somewhat naïve, Evie. With Tanner saving her from an embarrassing, and potentially dangerous, situation to Evie returning the favor after Tanner’s injury. I loved both of these characters.
I was provided a copy of this book from LibraryThing in exchange for my honest review. ( )
