Amy Andrews is skilled at coaxing her readers to read between the lines. Her characters are well versed in the art of seduction. Their mouth says no, when the heart is most definitely screaming "Yes!" At first meeting Troy and Joss are laying down some ground rules. I see you is the message that is conveyed loud and clear. The second meeting goes a step toward the "You drive me crazy" category. By the third time, all bets are off. When the heart becomes involved the stakes are high and the heat is on. Troy is a story of second chances in life, in love and at happiness. Hello, proves the most powerful introduction becomes the goodbye will leave a lasting impression.

I truly enjoyed Troy by Amy Andrews, the fifth book in the American Extreme Bull Riders Tour. Troy Jensen is a young bull rider from Australia looking for wins and points in order to return to the big league of bull riders. Doc Joss Garrity has three encounters with the younger Troy before she is willing to admit fate keeps getting the together. The off the charts, sizzling sexual chemistry doesn’t hurt either. However, after losing her husband, she is not sure she can risk loving another man who might not come home one day. I really enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down. Ms. Adams drew me in and did not let go until I read the last page. I recommend this book to other readers and while I for one look forward to the next book in this wonderful series I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book

I’ve enjoyed every one of the Extreme Bull Riders books and Troy by Amy Andrews is no exception. Joss is a widow with a fifteen year old son and isn’t particularly looking for romance. When her car breaks down on a country road a young cowboy stops to help her out. There is an instant attraction between Joss and Troy despite the fact he’s seven years her junior. Bringing her son home after catching him in a nefarious position and then later needing her attention in the emergency room, destiny seems to be throwing these two together. Joss is family driven, strong and yet hesitant to take the step that would put her directly in Troy’s path and his bed. She’s lost her husband and has her son to think of so a snap decision to sleep with Troy is not something she can do. Troy is just trying to make his way up the pro circuit and back to the extreme competition. He’s not looking out for how his career will end, he’s just in it for the ride, the comradery and the lifestyle. Joss is an unexpected surprise along the way. I’m usually not a fan of stories with widows but this one worked for me. While Joss’ husband’s death did affect both her and her son and it does come into play some in the story, it was not heavy with angst. This book was fast paced and well written. The steam factor was incredible with a dirty talking but not really vulgar hero making sure the heroine knew exactly what he wanted. I totally need me a Troy!
