8 Seconds to Love by Monica Walters
A Review By: RS
Having her own successful baking business literally fell into Harper Richardson's lap. She's strong, smart, independent, and well-rounded. Her life has already been figured out, and she is living it to the best of her abilities, along with her year-long boyfriend, Zaire.
Harper is given some news that stuns her, leaving her angry with herself for being so naïve. Zaire isn't the man she thought he was. Still reeling from that news, she decides to go and have a great time at the Houston Livestock Show. Her interest was only in the concerts happening, but a certain bull-rider steals her attention. Resisting him only makes her want him more.
Legend Semien, bull-rider extraordinaire and a legend in the making, has made his passion a professional career. He loves the risk and suspense of it all. Being in the limelight of the rodeo circuit, he's cocky and expects to be able to get whatever he wants.
While Harper and Legend are like night and day, they are attracted to each other like magnets. Despite the baggage and complications of their past lives, they attempt to get to know one another. Will they be able to leave their old lives behind in pursuit of a life together?

A certain bull-rider steals her attention and resisting him only makes her want him more.
Monica wrote a story as steamy as it was sweet. This is the type of story that has me ready to go to the rodeo and find me a sexy cowboy. It's a get under a new man to get over my old man's story, and I was here for it.
As for the narration, Mari delivers a solid performance giving bad B vibes to Harper. Mirron Willis is new to me, and I can say that I could listen to his narration again. He gave cowboy vibes to Legend and it fit the story.
There really isn't anything I can say that I didn't like about this story. Narration, on the other hand, is something totally different. I'm used to Mari, so there's nothing I can say bad about her narration. Willis is new to me, and while he definitely delivered a cowboy, there were times when he was overly animated in his narration.
