SHE'S TAKING A WALK ON HIS WILD SIDE
Emma Rush
can't remember a time when she didn't have a thing for Ryan Blake. Haven's
resident bad boy is just so freakin' hot-with tattoos, a motorcycle, and enough
rough-around-the-edges sexiness to melt all her self-control. Now that Emma's
over being a "good girl," she needs a little help being naughty . . .
and she knows just where to start.
Before
Emma's brother enlisted in the military, he made Ryan promise that he would
protect her from everything--including himself. When her brother doesn't come
home, Ryan needs to turn his screwed-up life around to honor his pledge. But he
knows he's still not the right kind of guy for someone as sweet as Emma. Only
he can't stop wanting to be with her. Wanting her. Falling in love with a good
girl may be the craziest risk this bad boy can take . . .
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
This book is the perfect storm of storylines. To start, you have the best friend's little sister. Then throw in the fact that the best friend died in the line of duty and the H feels that it's his duty to protect said little sister, despite the fact that he has developed feelings for her. BUT then you have the little sister who has decided to take a walk on the wild side and wants the H to help her. Uhhh...YES PLEASE.
Emma has lived her life as the ultimate good girl. She had to grow up and be an adult at a very early age and that has been her life since. When she makes the decision to break free of her good girl persona, Emma and her friends realize that Ryan is the man to help her. It takes a bit of convincing and despite his early reservations, Ryan eventually agrees to help her out.
I enjoyed this book so much. Ryan was such an awesome guy. He overcame a lot in life to get to where he is today. He runs a successful business and a missing piece from his past has finally reappeared, making him extremely happy. Then there is Emma. She is the one thing he never thought would happen and now that it looks like it might, he has to decide if he deserves the happiness that is right in front of his face. I loved how the rest of the crew saw the writing on the wall way before he did and they had no problem giving him lots of flack for it.
This book is sweet, sexy and a whole lot of fun. As a couple, Emma and Ryan worked so well. They have known each other forever so they are not only comfortable around one another, but once they get involved it's like they are starting off on the 20th date. They don't need to wade through all the necessary "getting to know you" crap. Ryan becomes her partner in crime and they get up to some fun (and super sexy) stuff. We also get a little insight into the next book and I can't wait to read Jessica & Mark's story!

Whoa. Emma closed her eyes and let out a shriek as Ryan guided the motorcycle onto Main Street and picked up speed. The cold wind whipped her face, taking her breath away. Beneath her, the engine rumbled and roared like a wild thing. Holy sh*t. She was on the back of Ryan Blake’s bike, and it was amazing.
The wind bit through her thin, knit gloves, hitting her fingers with an icy blast. Actually, every part of her was freezing, but she didn’t care. She wrapped her arms more firmly around Ryan’s waist, anchoring herself to him so she didn’t tumble off the back of the bike, and somehow her hands slipped beneath his jacket. Ahh. That was better. Toasty warm, and also…her hands were on his T-shirt. Even through her gloves, she felt the hard contour of his abs, and nope, she wasn’t cold now.
And this was absolutely freaking amazing.
She hung on tight as he guided them over Haven’s twisting mountain roads, deserted at this hour. Overhead the moon shone like a beacon, illuminating the night in its soft, silvery glow. The roar of the engine and the slap of the wind against her face shocked her senses. It was thrilling, invigorating, so completely different from riding inside a car.
She’d never have done this if Mandy hadn’t dared her, and now she felt like her eyes were open for the first time in years. This was what she needed. Somewhere along the way, as she sat at the bar talking to Ryan, she’d realized she was having fun, really having fun. And she wanted more. She wanted it all, every last wild and crazy fantasy.
All too soon, her building came into view. Ryan cut the engine and guided them quietly into the driveway, coming to a stop behind her silver Toyota RAV4. He turned his head to look at her, so sexy in his helmet and riding glasses. “So how was it?”
“Even better than I thought it would be.” She gulped for air. His lips were way too close to hers, and she was still a little bit drunk on beer and a whole lot drunk on her first motorcycle ride. Mandy’s words echoed in her ears. Bonus points if you kiss him. Just stand up a bit, lean over his shoulder, and…
Emma leaned forward, her chest sliding up his back as she tipped her face to his. Holy hell, she had completely lost her mind, but she was going for it. Every nerve in her body went haywire.
Clunk. Her helmet smacked into his, drawing her up an inch short of his lips.
