Gage Powell might have made his debut on the professional tour a little late, but that hasn’t stopped the 24-year-old from taking the circuit by storm. He rides with a rough style that’s reminiscent of his brother, famed bull rider Marty Powell, who was killed just a few months before Gage’s 18th birthday. When Gage rides, it’s as if he’s riding for more than himself. Sierra Montez has grown up … grown up around the rodeo and is used to the swagger of the bull riders. She thinks she’s immune to their charms until she comes face-to-face with Gage in a business meeting. She tries to keep their meeting professional, but Gage wants Sierra and he isn’t a man who ever backs down from what he wants. While Sierra finds him exciting and hard-to-resist, she wants more for herself than following a gold buckle winner around the country.
Can Gage convince her that he’s more than his reputation and that she’s the only prize he’s really after?

Gage (American Extreme Bull Riders Tour Book 8) by Katherine Garbera
This is Gage Powell and Sierra Montez’s story.
Another great bull rider story. Gage is another stubborn hard headed bull rider. It must go with the territory. There is just something about Gage that you just feel for him. With the loss of his brother and his difficult relationship with his father Gage is going through some tough times. Then he meets Sierra. One thing for sure the chemistry is really hot between these two.
FYI, contains mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Gage is book eight in the American Extreme Bull Riders Tour series and can be read as a standalone.
Living in his brothers shadow was always hard for Gage, and the night he was supposed to debut in the bull riding circuit is the day his brother died. Right before his eyes. Running from the pain, he traveled until his mother begged for him to return.
Sierra isn’t affected by the bull riders and their charming ways. Or at least she didn’t think she was until she ran into Gage. They each had a chip on their shoulder and needed a way to get rid of it. No matter how earth shattering it is, the doubts remain. Is this just be a good way to blow off steam? Or will they be able to help each other find what the other one needs? I really enjoyed this story. I highly recommend it!

American Extreme Bull Riders Tour #8
In this, the final book of the series, we find out who wins the gold buckle and million dollars. It was definitely fun reading each of the books, learning more about bull riding and meeting some new authors in the process.
Gage has returned to the AEBR tour after seven years away. His mission is to ride and win while proving to his father that he is just as good as his brother was. Sierra, daughter of a wealthy jeans maker and AEBR Tour sponsor, is on the job when she meets Gabe. Sierra has had a bit of a crush on Gage for years but face to face finds him even more than she expected. The two have instant chemistry BUT Gage is all about winning. Is their relationship a help or a hindrance to his winning? Will they be able to open up and be honest with one another? Will they both be able to prove to themselves they are worthy with or without their fathers seeing it is so?
Thank you to NetGalley and Tule Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review. I found the book entertaining but not feel quite as invested in the H/h as I did in some of the other books of the series.
