Eight Seconds to Ride

Copper Lake, Book 1

By: Ashley James

Narrated by: Alex Kydd, Aaron Shedlock

A steamy one-night-stand in the bathroom of a bar in Las Vegas after a world championship win? Yes, please.

Meeting him again months later, only to learn he's my newest competition? Not so much.

The weight of the legacy I carry is a constant tug in my mind, with the ghosts of the generations before me always whispering for me to push harder, train longer, be better.

In the eight seconds I have to ride, everything else falls away, and my sole focus is on doing what I do best.

I am Shooter Graham, consecutive three-time world champion bronc rider. No one has ever come close to taking the title since I've had it… until him.

Sterling Addams. The new cowboy in town with dark hair, eyes like honey, and a taste for me he likes to pretend he doesn't have.

He's green… but he's good. Too good.

Suddenly, the already heavy pressure I'm under multiplies tenfold. The need to beat him, the uncontrollable urge to put him in his place, becomes almost an obsession.

The question is, how far will I go to prove I'm number one?

cowboy romance ❤️

I am surprised how much I enjoyed this by the end and I'm glad I finished. The character's were very lovable and it's a low angst listen. This story got better and better with a romantic and lovely finish.

🥵 Alex Kydd performance as Shooter was 🔥 The narration definitely kept me engaged during the slower start to this book and was well worth it in the second half of this book. I would listen to pretty much any MM romance he narrated now.

*In the first half of the book there are some editing issues in the writing (ie. repetiveness) and little moments of dead air in this recording but turning the speed to 1.05 eliminated this completely.

Such a perfect listen

Alex Kydd and Aaron Shedlock slayed this! This was another incredible story by Ashley James. Perfectly paced rivals to lovers. The spice!! Be care while driving. Definitely have new favorite narrators.

Rope Me In !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a warm, funny love story based in the Bronco/cowboy way of life,. it's super spicy but in a good way and the 2 MM were easy to route for, & good group of friends for future book. Well worth a credit.

because of this book I'm now very much into cowboys

I love Shooter, that guy's ego is something and I'm here for it!

loved the sweet and funny parts, the touch of hurt/comfort, and the spice was top tier

I was already a fan of Aaron but it was my first time listening to Alex... 👀 sir! 🫠 I'm gonna need more books narrated by him 🔥
