A lot can happen in eight seconds. One … Two … Three ...
JD McCall lives his life fast and focused on exactly what’s in front of the next woman, the next drink, the next eight seconds on a rank bull. As best man in his brother’s wedding, JD scoffs at the idea of love—where’s the fun in that? The one good thing about the wedding is Everly Mitchell, the maid of honor—a tall, gorgeous, feisty redhead who hails all the way from New York City. He figures it’s only polite to show the city gal the ropes of being with a cowboy. After all, isn’t that what a Southern gentleman is supposed to do?
Four … Five …
When the National Bull Rider tour leads JD to the big city, he saddles up with Ev, who ends up dealing him an even faster lifestyle than his own, full of lights, cameras, and plenty of action. Now on Ev’s concrete turf, JD realizes a simple bull rider is no match for a savvy businesswoman.
Six … Seven …
JD is used to being the one who does the heart breaking. He likes to fool around, not be made a fool.
Eight.
The McCall curse strikes again. How is JD going to get out of this one?

Carly Kade is an award-winning author and the host of the Equestrian Author Spotlight podcast. Creative writing makes her spurs jingle! She writes fiction about horses, horse shows, Western pleasure and a handsome cowboy or two! Her books are for people just like her ... crazy about reading, horses and cute cowboys!
As a dedicated Carly Kade fan, this series starts out great and just keeps getting better and better! Once I started reading Beyond Eight Seconds, I could hardly put it down. I smiled, I laughed, and then, I was on the edge of my seat! Kade has so much talent that I feel as if the characters are real people. Readers will love this book regardless but, if you are a horse owner (as I am) and a rodeo fan, you'll find satisfaction in the knowledge with which Kade writes about her chosen subject area. I'm already looking forward to her next release!
I was an ARC reader for Carly Kade's, "Beyond Eight Seconds", the fourth book in her Western Romance series. While the first books in the series feature mainly characters Devon's and McKennon's rocky early relationship and their complicated histories prior to meeting, this book has JD's character (who is originally a more secondary character) stepping into the spotlight. JD's background as a professional bull rider piques the interest of Devon's PR agent, Everly (a newly added character), who sets her sights on his handsome face and becomes his PR agent, only to get more than she bargains for. JD, too, will wonder what he's gotten himself into under the allure of Devon's "city gal" friend.
Anyone who reads Romance, Western Romance, Horse Books, or is a devoted fan of Kade's novel series will not be disappointed in this fourth book. It is the continuation of Devon's and McKennon's love affair while adding surprisingly dramatic moments between JD and Everly. Be prepared to have things heating up in this novel!
