Saylor gets all excited watching her man ride, I have to say I'd get all excited too, “I’ve got to admit, I’m feeling pretty hot from watching you ride.” I slid my hands beneath his jersey. His skin was still damp from sweat, and it only made me hotter as I smoothed my palm over his moist skin." I loved that Rodeo was always wanting to be with his woman, “yes, but if I come pick you up and bring you back here we can do stuff, and by stuff I mean effing until we fall asleep. Then I can wake up completely energized for work.” Rodeo is like the perfect boyfriend, he's so damn sweet, “stop, baby, we’re together now, and I could give a ***t about the money. I just need you. That’s all I know. I need you.” I enjoyed this book I loved Rodeo.

Easy read. I liked Rodeo' s character but struggled a bit with Sayler's. She seemed to lurch from being really vulnerable to being a sultry vamp. It felt like she threw herself at Rodeo at times and I didnt feel she had too. Second chance love story. Sweet in places. Violent in others.. Denver's story is next.

Rodeo by Tess Oliver is book 2 of her new FMX Bros. series and this series is a spinoff of The Custom Culture series and so it is good! We see the Custom Culture characters walking in and out of the first book and now this second book called Rodeo, we also see them at different times!
Rodeo is a transplant from Montana and fits in perfectly with Cole and Denver as workers in The King's family owned construction company run by Cole; they have become fast friends, and are all now riding bikes, and they all have sponsors, so they live together, work together, and play together as well. They are all young but successful so far at what they do. It is hilarious when the guys and gals from the Custom Culture books show up and they have a great time, the girls always pairing up for much needed girl time and the guys to shoot the breeze and see what's up. It is never a dull moment but I know reading all of these books, I can feel the genuine love and friendship as each new person man or woman become part of their ever expanding group-one person at a time!
One night, Rodeo, Cole and Denver are out drinking at a strip club and the guys are giving Cole the riot act about how his girl is going to feel when she finds out where they are, when Rodeo looks up and sees his childhood sweetheart all the way up through high school, stripping! In this bar in California-to say the least they are both shocked when they see each other!
When Rodeo last saw Saylor she was getting married to the high school football hero, and he was on his way to California, now after 6 years it is amazing to run into each other like this.
Unfortunately Rodeo was always protective of Saylor and now he can't understand why she is stripping in california. e did not like the guy she married but if he knew she was getting abused he would have gone to help her.
After this night they become close just like old times but Rodeo senses Saylor is holding back something from him, and once he realizes what she has been through and the last thing being something that could get her killed he is very nervous about leaving her alone.
When trouble comes knocking, Saylor is scared and wants to tell Rodeo but what if she waits too long? This book is well written, so much danger and sexual and physical angst, a plot that twists and turns and had me holding my breath! But most of all I love the way this story ends.
Do yourself a favor, buy this book, and sit down and read it with your favorite beverage of choice, and give yourself the time to read it-I know I picked it up and sat down and read it all in one sitting because it was too good to put down!
I gave this book 5***** stars, and look forward to book 3! For optimal enjoyment if you have not read the Custom Culture series, I would recommend reading that series as well so you will enjoy seeing the characters from that series blending in with the ones from this new series!

Overall Rating: 4 Rockin’ ★★★★
What do you get when you mix a cowboy and an FMX rider? You get Tess Oliver’s amazing second book in her FMX Bros. series! Once again the complex mind of Ms. Oliver interweaves a remarkable tale of a good, bad boy that will leave you breathless and laughing at the same time. Rodeo is a book that you will defiantly want to have in your library for your reading enjoyment.
It all started with a free pitcher of beer coupon! The strip club was just an added bonus! Everything was ok until the stripper was a blast from Rodeo’s past, a past he thought he had left in Montana living her HEA. He wants to help her, find out how she ended in a strip joint and why she didn’t contact him. Sayler is keeping secrets and he needs her to open up and let him in again. The old feelings are still just as strong as when they were both crazy, trouble making teens. His instincts are going wild, protect her and keep her safe. Could she be his one?
Trouble seemed to follow her like a dark cloud! Known for not being the best decision maker, Sayler Russell just couldn’t seem to shake the results of those decisions. They just kept following her, haunting her and not letting go! She thought she had covered her tracks well and was hidden from those consequences that were after her. Then in walks her past, Parker Steven, her ex-boyfriend. It had been six years since he left and she had not listened to his warnings about the man she intended to marry. She should have listened to him! You know that old saying ‘out of the frying pan into the fire’ that is exactly where Sayler found herself. Involving Parker in her trouble is not going to happen, even if he wants to, she cannot let him.
This is Parker ‘Rodeo’ Stevens and Sayler Russell’s story. It is about two exceptional individuals that know how to get in trouble without even trying. The characters are realistic and at the same time the storyline will keep you reading until the end. Sizzling hot action with a beautiful underlying love story completes this book, thank you Ms. Oliver.

November 23, 2015
This was a great afternoon read and visit with some of my favorite Tess Oliver characters.
Rodeo and Sayler are both incredibly likable characters. They have great personalities and the friendship between them is immediately apparent. They click back into place as if 6 years have not passed. Apparently they are also beautiful human specimens... particularly Sayler. There is A LOT of sex in this book so we know how beautiful she many times. I really enjoyed the reconnection between the H/h and the storyline pushing along their angst. As strong as Sayler had become, I liked how she was still vulnerable and not too proud to need someone else. Once both of them saw each other, that was it for both of them.
At one point, Rodeo asks "why did I ever leave you?" I was wondering the same thing! I didn't get the timeline clear in my head, but I think it sounded like they amicably broke up long before he left Montana? Either way, it seemed like they were fu*k buddies and it felt like that's how it started out when they reconnected now. They have lust, attraction and a great friendship. I realize that adds up to a relationship anyone would want, but there was still something missing. An emotional base connection beyond physical chemistry that was missing for me or was too casual. I wanted the passionate (not sexual) "I can't live without you" feeling. We did get closer to it by the end, and when it was all done and over with I was satisfied.
What I like most about this series is how Tess Oliver brings back previous characters and seamlessly blends the worlds together. Cole's family is still my favorite series, so I'm glad to see it not only mix with the Custom Culture gang, but also introduce us to Rodeo and Denver. This story also sets us up to wonder even more about the complex inner workings of Denver from Boston. I'm really excited about his book and seeing all of my favorite characters again.

A sexy, captivating, romance.
Parker "Rodeo" Stevens, is one charming, cocky, tattooed man. Working construction and riding BMX along side his best friends, Cole and Denver. He enjoys life. Running into a blast from his past, brings trouble, fun times, and lots of sexy. And he couldn't be happier. But when he discovers Sayler is in trouble he'll stop at nothing to help her. Rodeo has always cared for Sayler, and reconnecting with her has brought back all those old memories and feelings. He's remembering the girl she was, and learning the women she has become.
Sayler Russell left Montana, and a bad marriage, in hopes to start fresh in California. But no money, no place to stay, puts Sayler in a tough spot. She gets mixed up the some bad people. Working at a strip club is the fastest way to make money, and pay off a debt. Reconnecting with Parker aka Rodeo, puts a wrench into her plans. But she couldn't be happier to be with him again. They shared something special all those years ago, and they share something even more amazing now.
I LOVED Rodeo's & Sayler's story. It was fun and sexy, a total page turner. Along with being introduced to new and intriguing characters, we get to see all of our old favorites. Rodeo, the tattooed, BMX riding, cowboy, is one sexy book boyfriend. His love for Sayler is seen through every chapter. He goes above and beyond to protect his women. Sayler was a great character to read. She had some bad luck through out this book, she never seemed to catch a break. But she stayed strong, and worked hard to right her wrongs. She's sassy, and strives to be independent. Tess Oliver once again delivers suspense, laughs, a fun group of friends, and lots of sexiness.
A outstanding romance, with two people getting a second chance at love.

Dray by Tess Oliver
This is the second book in the "FMX Bros" Series
His Dream is to ride, ever since leaving his home town, where everyone assumed he would never achieve anything good. He has been trying to make a name for himself and things are starting to turn for him.
After a chance meeting he runs into the only good thing he left behind. He can't believe she's here.
She has run away again. After makes one bad decision after another, she feels that this is all her life will ever be, always another mistake.
This time not only herself is in trouble, she spreads it around too.
This is another good read, again the same characters, humour and loves are in this book as the first.
I love the theme around the world of motocross.
This is a bit darker than the first read, covering things like drugs, abuse etc.
Yet again, let down by all the main action happening in the last of the book and again feeling rushed.
Again you know to a degree the way the story will turn out, but there is a little hidden plot twist to excite your senses.
Roll on the next installment in the series.

Rodeo is Tess Oliver's second book in the FMX series. This story picks up with the regular cast of characters doing what they do best, living wild and free. Rodeo is carefree and happy, a Montana boy who traded his horse for motorcross. He works hard and plays harder. His life takes a turn when Sayler, the girl that stole his heart back in Montana suddenly appears in California. Before he even knows it, he's head over heels for Sayler and things seem to be moving right along but Sayler's made some mistakes in her life. Will her mistakes haunt them, destroy them, take her away? This is their journey, through the good and the bad. Full of passion and love, devotion and protection.
I love how Tess brings back all the cast from this series and others, reminding you how much you love her crew. She has great character development and you can't help but fall in love with all of them. Sayler is a great addition to the cast. I adore her. The story progresses naturally and you can't help but just become completely lost in their story, in their world. Love it!

Rodeo and Saylor are old friends and lovers from Montana that meet again when Rodeo discovers his "best thing in Montana"stripping in a club in California. Well Rodeo turns alpha crazy and gets throw out but in the end he takes the girl home. Saylor comes to California to escape her ex husband and gets into some more trouble. Of course Rodeo will save the day. This book had lots of hot SEX scenes. I love that Saylor can get down and dirty with Rodeo. Saylor is just trying to get by and make right with her wrong decisions. Rodeo just wants to protect the girl and get the girl. This was a fun read. Tess Oliver does it again Rodeo- FMX Bros is fun , sexy and HOT!! Rodeo could of been alittle more dominant but it still works for me.
I received this book as an ARC for a honest review.

Absolutely loved!!! Rodeo was everything and more. Tess Oliver did it again. Rodeo is sexy,funny and makes you feel dreamy!!

Crazy how Oliver makes you fall for every character in every book. Successfully bringing two series together, even with just a quick chapter, expands our love of bad boys with deep hearts, strong and independent women along with a horse or two. Research must have been horrid having to stare at motocross racers and learn their tricks, just terrible. I say it almost every time, but Oliver has this way of bringing you into the book and making her cast your friends. Sayler is likable as a stripper in trouble with a gangster. Parker Stevens, Rodeo, might have the name of Kirstie Alley's ex but he is protective, tattooed and sexy. High school sweethearts that separated met by chance and will never part again. Bring on another! Thanks to Tess for my early reviewer copy.

Rodeo and Sayler.... This book was awesome! I figured Rodeo just was crazy and kinda stupid but honestly he seemed more mature in this book but still crazy! Sayler is an ex and old friend from his past and a stripper. Loved his sexy jealous butt and things heated pretty quick with them but when you know how it was with someone that meant a lot to you then you can really expect nothing less! And I loved it. The shady crap that Sayler unfortunately is caught up in suck but Rodeo comes in and saves her and the only thing that was a little off for me was at the end when her ex showed up but the writing was excellent and how that whole situation played out was perfect because it was dealt with quickly and efficiently and couldn't ask for anything better! Can't wait to read Denvers story!!!!!

ARC for an honest review!
I hadn't expected Rodeo to be so sweet. When you read about these characters in other books you think you won't like them but then their book comes and you're blown away. They aren't just a passing person, they're real and the story is about them. They have feelings, past, and they attract you with their stories like an addiction.
This is how I felt reading Rodeo. I loved this book from the beginning to the end and I cannot wait to read Denver, the next book in this series. These three are definitely one of my favorites from all of Tess's books.... Then again, I say that to all of the books. Lol
That just means I adore these books.

Rodeo and Saylor
Parker Stevens, otherwise known to everyone as "Rodeo", was the wild crazy one of the bunch. Rodeo never stayed with one woman long enough to get her name, until one night at a strip club. One of the dancers caught his eye and he knew those eyes of hers and knew the way she danced. The girl turned out to be the most important thing he'd left behind in Montana, his High School sweetheart Saylor. Saylor seemed to have trouble everywhere she went but soon found the feelings she had for Parker were still there for both of them and he wanted to help her down a better path in life. Great story and Parker's character was perfect for Saylor.

Of course I would give this book 5 stars, why because I am not a cowboy type of girl but holy crap I would be if I ever met a Rodeo type of guy ;). This was a cute book written by one of my favorite authors this series is following Cole King's co-workers and buddies. Rodeo is a Montana boy originally who is now a construction worker/FMX motorcycle rider in California, with loyalty and smokin hotness all rolled into one. Check out this book and see who finally captures his heart! Yipee Ki-yay for Rodeo!

Rodeo is a really enjoyable second chance love story.
It was a fun fast read and one that kept me engrossed throughout, so much so that I read Rodeo in one sitting. There was plenty of drama and romance to keep your interest.
Rodeo and Sayler were great characters. Deep down Rodeo was a total sweetheart and I loved watching him re-connect with Sayler. When we meet Sayler we realise that she's not had life easy and you just pull for her from the get go.
I enjoyed Rodeo and look forward to Denver's story next.

This is a story about young love, and one pursuing his dreams and the other one staying behind to not "hold back" the other. Fast forward years later...When they meet up again. One has grown up and is pursuing his dreams and the other needs to correct a lot of mistakes in her life, before being able to move on. Will they be able to reconnect the love that they once shared? Will the mistakes of the past catch up with them and cause more harm than good? Then throw in the witty antics of all the rest of the group of friends. This makes for one interesting read...

Absolutely loved this book. Actually this whole series was very enjoyable. Even tho its about FMX racers and their bikes, its easy to follow and explains itself very well. And of course, the book is set mostly off of the track so you dont need an extensive knowledge of bikes or racing to follow them.
Tess Oliver is an amazing writer and without a doubt i'll read anything this woman writes, no matter the genre. Her writing style pulls you in and her characters are so easy to identify with and fall in love with.

Cute read...I love how protective Rodeo was. The only thing that I would say was wrong was how quickly they fell into a relationship/sex. Now I get because they dated and were friends in high school that that is why they fell so quickly into something, but I think maybe having more of a look into their past would have helped me believe their love a little more. It was just to quick for me to see this strong bond between them. Anyway...other than that, I liked it. Cant wait to read about Denver...he seems like such a cute little nerd to read about :-)

I absolutely loved this second chance romance by Tess Oliver. Six years after leaving Montana for a fresh start in California, Rodeo is reunited with Sayler, the girl he dated in high school. Rodeo and Sayler had always had a great friendship and coming together again made them remember how strong their bond was. The awesome connection, amazing chemistry and the love they had for each other was unbreakable. Overall, great story with lots of action. Rodeo and Sayler were perfect for each other! Can't wait for Denver's story next!

I love this series and the writing. A second chance, friends to lovers story where the Hero is more than you ever imagined in the previous novel is always a plus. I love how sure of himself Rodeo is, he knows who he is an what he wants. Then all of a sudden the girl who got away is thrust back into his life and he finds a missing piece he did not even know he was missing.
This story was sweet and steamy, with a side of adventure. All in all a great read and how can argue with getting a glimpse at all the past characters you love so much from Tess's other stories.

This series just keeps getting better. Book 2 in the FMX Bros series completely drew me in and made me feel every emotion these characters went through. I adored Rodeo with his alpha traits. I also loved how protective and caring he is towards Saylor. This book is definitely not lacking in the steamy scenes either. I am counting down the days to Denver's book now.
