Maddy and Parker are great, they never stopped loving each other no matter the time and what happened for them to separate and sweet wee Tyler. This is a book about second chances, fixing mistakes and most of all that true love never dies so be ready for laughs, awkward moments, secrets, sadness, sexy cowboys and a whole lot of fun! I just loved the Brooks family .. well apart from one, but the three brothers are fun, over protective and sweet with a good bit of alpha so I can’t wait to read more in this series!!!

Audio Review:
Back in the Saddle (Blazing Eagle Ranch, Book 1) is a sweet and entertaining second chance romance. I loved getting to know the character’s as they were lively. The writing style is descriptive. I enjoyed the flashbacks to the past. I absolutely loved how it ended.
Narrators Stella Hunter, Tim Paige are both new to me. I loved Stella Hunters intonation as it was smooth and saccharine. Tim Paige’s performance was smooth and consistent, easy to listen. A dual narration that is well articulated and brings the narrative and characters to reality.
This is a beautiful 2nd chance romance with hot cowboys, a single mom and adorable 9yo. 10 yrs ago, Maddie walked out of Parker Brookes’ life and her hometown because it was the right thing to do…but her heart was shattered. Now she’s back because she needs help with her son while she bartends and takes online classes. She has no intention of seeking out Parker. Except fate has other plans and Parker finds her! Both figure out that they had been mislead and now they’re working on their second chance. Great story! Excellent narration team brings the individual characters to life. This one was worth losing sleep to get to ‘The End’!

Second chance?
Back in the Saddle is the first book in the Blazing Eagle Ranch series and it introduces the reader to the ranch and it’s inhabitants, the Brooks brothers. It is also the story of Parker Brooks and Madison (Maddy) King. They have a history and something else between them that is about to all come out in the present when he comes back to the ranch after an injury takes him off the rodeo circuit and crosses paths with Maddy.
This was an enjoyable story and I look forward to reading the next in the series.
I received an ARC of this book from the author for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

What do you get from a retired bull rider, buckle bunnies, and booze? Back in the Saddle is the first book in Banks’ new series Blazing Eagle Ranch. I thought the characters Maddy and Parker had great chemistry. Banks did a great job with world-building. There have been a lot fo ranch books recently, but this one was a refreshing start. Add in the fact it’s a Second Chance Romance, and that’s even better, in my opinion. I can’t wait to read the next one.
Ten years ago Maddy left her hometown and the man she thought didn’t love her. Now she’s back and Parker is in for a surprise. Will they find closure or a new beginning? “Back in the Saddle” is a story that’s filled with good characters, a few regrets, honesty, sweetness and sizzling chemistry. Peyton Banks knows her way around likable heroines and men who know how to make things right. A perfect second chance romance! Peyton keep this series going!

Parker a retired bull rider. He may have hung out with the buckle bunnies, booze and on the circuit but he still missed his first love. Maddie is the one who got away kind of. They were supposed to meet. But Jonah his dad stated that she was no good for him. He could do better. And Parker should not have to sync to her level. She excepts and believes the things that was told her. Now 10 years later things have come full circle. Maddie is here with her nine-year-old son. Parker is now retired bull rider because of a very very bad knee injury. So what happens when Maddie is seen in town after all these years. All these to come together and talk to see what went wrong in the relationship when they were young? A lot of surprises, even a come to Jesus moment. No cliffhanger. Great characters fascinating story

This very well written book 1 in the Blazing Eagle Ranch series is a really wonderful Second Chance at Love Romance with good characters. The story line is sweet, steamy, emotional and intriguing with the loss of memory. The exceptionally well-crafted characters have a wonderful chemistry between them. Their romance is a real roller-coaster with a lot of ups and downs. Loved it. A must read

Second chance romance + a cowboy with serious swagger, equals me bingeing this book. Peyton Banks didn’t disappoint. Maddy and Parker’s story gave me all the feels. From the minute Parker comes to Maddy’s rescue in the bar, I was rooting for these characters to find their way back to each other after all the heartache they’d suffered. This story will grab you by your heart and not let go. A well written story that will have you cheering Maddy and Parker to a ‘happily ever after.’
Look forward to Parker’s brothers, Carson and Wade, getting their own stories.

I enjoyed reading this sweet and short story. A rekindled love always does good to the soul. Really disappointed that Maddy was judged because of her father, who was the town drunk. You definitely can see that Parker loved her dearly.
it was a good read, and I loved the cowboy twist and tone this story had.

Peyton Banks did a terrific job with this second chance romance. The history and current story of Maddison and Parker is well written. The fact that the male lead was a bull rider helps with the heat meter as far as I am concerned. Their chemistry is still as hot now as it was when they were teens. And it was also amazing to watch how the truth really came to light and brought the story full circle.

The second chance love story is a favorite of mine. The story was emotional and lovely. The hidden baby story is not my favorite, but the author made me fall in love with the couple.

Back in the Saddle is the story of teen sweethearts Maddy and Parker. Unfortunately, their story was cut way too short and they are separated by distance and time. Years later, both Maddy and Parker find themselves back in their hometown. With an accidental meeting in a bar, they are presented with an unexpected chance to re-visit the past. Though they have lots of unresolved issues to address, the chemistry between Maddy and Parker is hot. It sucks the reader into their drama. Several times I found myself tearing up during this book. I have been a fan of Peyton Banks for a while now and this book has been such a joy to read. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
What a sweet second chance romance. There are questions as to why Parker and Maddy separated and that brings other issues they have to work through. It was emotional at times but sweet and sexy and just all around a feel -good story.

Peyton Banks’ Back In The Saddle was an AMAZING and FANTASTIC read! It had elements of some of my favorite sub genres to read. It had elements of a second chance romance, cowboy and western themes and a storyline about redemption. It was sexy, had great character development, great storytelling and burn off the pages chemistry between Parker and Maddison. I’m never disappointed when I read a Peyton Banks story and Back in The Saddle was no different. I highly recommend this story!! Great Job!!

Maddison and Parker were in a loving relationship until someone fabricated a story to cause them to separate. This tale caused them to lose out on more than years of being together. Now their both back living in their hometown.
When Parker decides to go to a bar one night, he sees her working and is determined to find answers as to what happened. Maddison becomes nervous and upset after seeing him. Things became chaotic that night, and they were unable to talk. This did not stop Parker from getting the answers he needed.
So, he went back to see her one day at work, and she agreed to meet up with him. Parker then becomes furious after what he discovers.
This story was engaging and showed the bond between brothers. It was good to see how supportive they were to one another.
