I can never get enough of Kim Loraine’s cowboy romances and Sera and Sutton’s story was no different. This story was most definitely one WILD RIDE! It is a delicious, sweet and steamy story with characters that pull you in from beginning to end with their fantastic chemistry, flirty banter and charm.
Sutton Wilde is the whole package. A southern gentlemen and sexy cowboy with a heart of gold. Sera Ryker exudes confidence and sass and from the moment they wake up in Vegas married to one another there is never a dull moment between these two and there was no cooling their chemistry and attraction. The problem however is the two are a forbidden pairing due to a long time feud between the Wilde and the Ryker families. Going home and seeing them navigate their families and small town was entertaining and fun.
Listening to Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter perform this in duet narration was a real pleasure, the two are just so fantastic together!

No one writes cowboys quite like Kim Loraine does!!
What happens when rival families are brought together by a drunken night in Vegas? Chaos, that's what! I haven't read the Ryker Ranch Series yet because I like to do thinks a little backwards but if those Rykers are anything like Sera then I am going to have to hop on that series ASAP.
Sera was skittish at best, which I can't blame her for. After having your heart broken and so thoroughly there is not much you can do but be cautious. When a wild night in Vegas leads to her marrying Sutton Wilde (yeah, those Wildes) Sera is left with two options. Have a quicky divorce and cause even more problems for her family or stick this out for a month. Sera does the only thing that she can and that is move in with Sutton. What's a month in the scheme of things?
Sutton Wilde has always had his eyes on Sera Ryker but there is nothing he can do about it because of their family's rivalry. After a night in Vegas, it seems all his dreams are coming true because the woman he has wanted for years is now his wife. All he has to do is get her to fall in love with him, but he only has a month in which to do it in. He has to take his time with her and show her exactly how good he can be to her but with his dad stepping in that might be harder than expected.
Can these two star crossed lovers find a better ending than Romeo & Juliet or is their fate the same as the famous lovers?
Sutton is the perfect cowboy we all want but doesn't exist. His heart has been with Sera since long before their quicky wedding but more than that he showed her every moment how much she meant to him. It took Sera a lot longer to come around to him, but I can't really fault her. With everything stacked against them believing in their relationship lasting seems impossible. As always though, Kim delivered and gave us the story of the Rykers & Wildes coming together.
Devouring all the cowboys in the Ryker & Wilde's series as soon as I possibly can!!

Ok, Sutton and Sera are sweet, and I enjoyed getting their full story.
Who doesn't love a wild night in Vegas that doesn't stay in Vegas?
It was a little bit fake dating, but I didn't really mind.
The family feud thing was meh.
I enjoyed the narration the best. Aaron and Stella are great.

Where have Kim Loraine & her Cowboys been all my life? I’m totally melting! Sutton Wild had me from the beginning. Love the chemistry between Sutton & Sera. Aaron Sherlock & Stella Hunter did a perfect job narrating. Aaron’s cowboy drawl is so hot. Need more for sure!

This was my first foray into Kim’s Cowboy series and I very much enjoyed it and will definitely look into more of them!
Sara and Sutton were so fun to get to know and see grow with each other. Their ride was quite wild but was fun to “see” play out.
A quickie Vegas wedding turns real super fast because he’s had feelings for her for years. She find out he is as trustworthy as he claims to be which is huge for her after being spurned in the past.
Super swoony and sweet 😍
Aaron Shedlock and his just barely there drawl was nice. He is superbly talented.
Stella Hunter is also quite enjoyable to listen to

I’m on Team Ryker all the way, but Sutton Wilde snuck up on me and stole my heart with this one. I can’t get enough of Kim’s cowboys! Sutton is the epitome of the sexy cowboy with that sly grin, sexy drawl, attentiveness, and wearing the hell out of those jeans and a cowboy hat. He is irresistibly sexy and beautiful inside and out in his devotion to the people he loves. Sera Ryker is everything I was expecting after her subtle mentions in the Ryker series. She has had her heart obliterated in the past and is afraid to let herself love anyone again. In spite of that she is adventurous, independent, and no delicate flower. She pulls no punches and can hold her own with her big brothers. I just love her strength.
Sera and Sutton are the perfect bridge between these two families who have been at odds for their entire lives. Who doesn’t love a quickie Vegas wedding to kick it all off, but then it goes in a direction I was not expecting. Sutten is just a beautiful character and you can really fall in love along with them (and get lost in some super steamy moments). I am really looking forward to more books in the series so we can learn what happens with the other Wilde brothers. I’m all in for Kim Loraine’s sexy cowboys and the amazing women who rope them in!!
Aaron and Stella together in duet are like magic! I can’t imagine anyone else bringing all of these characters to life. Duet narration done right is my jam, and this book delivers! I thoroughly enjoyed it and listened several times!

I have to admit, I didn't know I had a thing for cowboy romances until I read Kim Loraine's Ryker Ranch series. With this first novel in the Wilde Horse Ranch Series, Wild Ride, I'm officially a cowboy junkie. I'm addicted. If they are all like Sutton Wilde and the Ryker boys, then sign me up for a whole harem of cowboys, and I'll be happy.
We've gotten glimpses of sassy, stubborn and determined Serafina (Sera) Ryker through her brothers' books, and I'm so beyond thrilled that she not only got a book of her own, but that Sutton was her match. Sera is someone that I would love to get a drink with and just sit down and have real talk about life. She doesn't pull any punches, and she doesn't give in or roll over. She knows her mind, and she knows what she wants. It may take her a while to realize that what she wants and needs is Sutton, but she does come around eventually.
Sutton is EVERYTHING that I want my cowboys to be. He's strong but sensitive, he's funny and whimsical but serious when he needs to be. He's also been in love with Sera for ages, and he's not going to let some pesky family feud get in way of his and Sera's happiness. He's also devoted to the members of his family that deserve it, and now that Sera is his, that means he's devoted to her.
The audio of Wild Ride, like all of Kim's audios, is just spot-on perfect. Stella Hunter really brought the sass to life, and she had me cheering Sera on at all turns. Aaron Shedlock is the cowboy of my dreams! For real, he is so perfect as Sutton, capturing a perfect balance of charm, wit, determination and hope. I would drunk-Vegas-marry Sutton Wilde in a red hot minute after listening to Aaron (don't tell my husband).
Can't wait for more of the Wilde brothers!

Wild Ride
An Accidental Marriage Romance (Wilde Horse Ranch, Book 1)
By: Kim Loraine
Narrated by: Stella Hunter, Aaron Shedlock
You had me at "Marry me, darlin'". Totally rooting for this Sera and Sutton, I found out that what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. A trip of a lifetime for a married couple has these two at the alter, and tequila has their rings forever imprinted on them. But now reality sets in and with the wedding streamed, the reality show on Ryker Ranch is preventing them from ending their impromptu nuptials. Kim Loraine has crafted a spin on the Vegas wedding with a few twists and turns I didn't see coming! The Wilde/Ryker feud is one I knew about, but this brings it all to a head! Sutton is such a different man from his father, you would think he was not raised by him. And Sera, the strong willed woman we know her to be needs a man like him. Will the feud get in their way? Will their feelings come out? So many unanswered questions! And it's a blast getting both families in the same book. All our favorites come to play in this amazing crossover. I love them all!
Stella Hunter and Aaron Shedlock bring this beauty to life. They work so well together and the duet narration is fabulous. It shows their talent and chemistry as the conversations are real and feelings apparent. Can't wait for more from these story tellers!

Kim Loraine's Ryker Ranch Series is one of my favorites. I love all of the Ryker Boys, Momma Ryker and the entire gang, including Sera. I couldn't wait to get my hands on Sera's story and it was FANTASTIC. I am most definitely #teamryker but I am also #teamsutton. One thing I can say about all these beautiful cowboys is that they are a loyal bunch. When these boys love they LOVE and that is exactly what Sutton wanted for Sera; to love her.
Serafina Ryker is strong, independent, and feisty, but sometimes being that strong weights on you, so when Sera finds herself responsible for representing her family's reality show in Las Vegas, the sassy beauty never expected she'd end up married to the enemy. Despite being raised to hate one another, Sera and Sutton were perfect for each other. She needed someone who would love and accept her for who she is and he needed someone who would fill the void in his life.
The rivalry between the Wilde's and the Ryker's is no secret, so when news of the Vegas wedding between a Wilde and Ryker becomes publicly know, Sera and Sutton must face the consequences or their impulsive decision.
I cannot get enough of this world that Kim Loraine has created. Although Wild Ride is the first book in a new series, I love that we get to catch up with our favorite cowboy family. I both read and listened to Wilde Ride, which was narrated by the dynamic duo Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter. These two are amazing. I love how they have narrated different characters in the Ryker Ranch series. They have this amazing talent of making each character come to life allowing their personalities to shine through. Wilde Ride will be another one of my favorite audiobooks to re-listen to.
Now...how long do we have to wait for the next Wilde boy?

Sorry....no quickie annulment for this little Vegas fun night
Wild Ride is the second book in the Wilde Horse Ranch series and hold on tight or you will get bucked off from this wild horse. This story is about Serefina "Sera" Ryker and Sutton Wilde. If you have read the Ryker Ranch series by this author then you will already know Sera and also the fact that there is a Ryker and Wilde feud/rivalry going on. So when Sera and Sutton end up waking up married after a night of real partying in Las Vegas things are about to get all sorts of crazy when they cannot annul this big mistake for a month. But as that month goes on their surrounding family members may be losing it with the rivalry but Sera and Sutton are finding ways to call a truce and instead fall in love and have their very own Romeo and Juliet HEA, minus the deaths of course.

Another great read by Kim Loraine. This one brings an enemies to lovers romance between Sera and Sutton. She does a terrific job pulling you in with the family feud and their back and forth bantering. She brings strong characters ... one filled with sass and the other is both cocky and sexy. Their chemistry is hot and the tension builds. Her scenes are painted perfectly and the story moves fluidly. Loved and recommend.

Kim sure knows how to write deliciously swoony cowboys and bad ass strong heroines. Sera is now one of my favourite characters. I loved this book so much! From the cute flirting in Vegas to everything that happens when they get home. Sera and Sutton have become true favorites.
As for the audio, a better duo could not have been chosen with Stella Hunter and Aaron Shedlock. Their performances enhanced this already amazing story and they each really captured the personalities of the characters so well.

This is the first book I've read by the author and I should have read her books earlier on. This is a fun, sexy, and heartwarming story.
Sera and Sutton have hot and sizzling chemistry and tension between them. With the longstanding family rivalry, so they couldn't even imagine getting close to one another. But when both of them ended up in Vegas, they had drunkenly got married. Now they have to work things out.
I never really expected Sutton to be the way he is. I wished he had been truthful of his feelings for Sera earlier on, but then I loved how their story unfolds. Now I can't wait for more of the series and more of the Wilde brothers.

The Ryker/Wilde feud was at the forefront of this spicy and steamy Ryker Ranch series spinoff. I’ve been looking forward to Sera’s story. Add in sexy swoon worthy Sutton and I was a complete goner.
This was a successful collaboration between Kim Loraine, Stella Hunter, and Aaron Shedlock. These talented narrators did an incredible job of bringing Kim’s swoony cowboy tale to life and I loved every minute of it.

Wild Ride
An Accidental Marriage Romance (Wilde Horse Ranch, Book 1)
By: Kim Loraine
Narrated by: Stella Hunter, Aaron Shedlock
Kim Loraine takes her readers for a wild ride with a swoon worthy cowboy and a take no nonsense cowgirl. This story grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it the entire book. I adored the two lead characters, Sera Ryker and Sutton Wilde, they grew up in ranches right next door to each other, only problem is their parents feud like they were Hatfields and McCoys. That did not stop Sutton from developing a crush on Sera, so when he saw her in Vegas and he jumped on her offer. Just because Sera’s family have a reality TV show does not mean she is loaded, actually the show was their saving grace to get out of debt and be able to keep their property. So when in Vegas she saw a way to win a trip to Hawaii by getting married, she saw Sutton and asked him and once he saw she was serious he jumped on it. Her plan, get married win the trip then get the marriage annulled, easy peasy! Except the show’s publicist thinks otherwise, she needs to ride it out longer for the sake of the show. She is to go live with Sutton until the buzz created in social media dies down. There is great chemistry between these two, I admired Sutton for his determination to make the best of the time he has with her, he wants to win her heart. But there are obstacles and not just their family, Sera has trust issues and a wall around her heart so it is not going to be easy for Sutton. I loved how everything played out in this book, the story is beautifully plotted with the perfect balance of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, humor, some twists and turns and a smoking hot romance. Kim Loraine, thank you for another amazing novel and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Stella Hunter and Aaron Shedlock are the perfect cast to bring these characters and their story to life. They are awesome at portraying the characters, grasping each persona and playing the role naturally and with perfection, sounding believable and just as I picture them to sound. Aaron Shedlock plays Sutton as the swoon worthy cowboy that he is, Stella Hunter played a KA cowgirl, sweet yet strong. Both nailed the roles of the secondary characters as well. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they captured all of the characters emotions and project them into their performance. These two mega talented narrators are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧
Thank you #AudiblyAddicted

So when in Vegas she saw a way to win a trip to Hawaii by getting married, she saw Sutton and asked him and once he saw she was serious he jumped on it. Her plan, get married win the trip then get the marriage annulled, easy peasy! Except the show’s publicist thinks otherwise, she needs to ride it out longer for the sake of the show. She is to go live with Sutton until the buzz created in social media dies down. There is great chemistry between these two, I admired Sutton for his determination to make the best of the time he has with her, he wants to win her heart. But there are obstacles and not just their family, Sera has trust issues and a wall around her heart so it is not going to be easy for Sutton. I loved how everything played out in this book, the story is beautifully plotted with the perfect balance of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, humor, some twists and turns and a smoking hot romance. Kim Loraine, thank you for another amazing novel and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Stella Hunter and Aaron Shedlock are the perfect cast to bring these characters and their story to life. They are awesome at portraying the characters, grasping each persona and playing the role naturally and with perfection, sounding believable and just as I picture them to sound. Aaron Shedlock plays Sutton as the swoon worthy cowboy that he is, Stella Hunter played a KA cowgirl, sweet yet strong. Both nailed the roles of the secondary characters as well. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they captured all of the characters emotions and project them into their performance. These two mega talented narrators are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧
Thank you #AudiblyAddicted

Waking up married to someone you shouldn't even be around was not Sera's (or Sutton's) best look. Ever since her mother chose her father over Sutton's father, the rivalry between the two families has simmered between the neighboring ranches. But it's no big deal, they can simply annul the marriage once they take the Hawaiian trip they got married for. No problem...right?
Except of course things aren't that easy because though the marriage may have started on a fake note, the attraction and the feelings between them are very real. When Sera has to appease her family's publicist by staying married to Sutton for awhile, their feelings will be tested and they'll find whether they can make a fake start turn very real, and stay real.
For a couple from a rivalry, Sutton and Sera were absolutely adorable. The sparks between them were positively incendiary, and it was all too obvious their feelings were very much real. Sera impressed me in her brothers' stories, so I was excited to read her story and it did not disappoint. She's feisty and tell it like it is, and Sutton is perfect for her - strong but very sweet, and downright witty and funny at times. A perfect combination despite their families' feud.

‘Wild Ride’ by Kim Loraine is the first book in the ‘Wilde Horse Ranch’ series, introducing us to our two main characters for this read as outlined in the blurb, Sutton Wilde and Sera Ryker.
Having been a cowboy connoisseur for a decade now, I was keen to sign up to read and review this book to see how it matched up with the kinds of books that I usually read within this genre. As it is a limited area to write about, I am often impressed when there is a twist brought in to make each read different, Kim does this here with the twist as again outlined in the book’s blurb ‘So what happens when a Wilde and a Ryker wake up in Vegas, in the same bed, hungover, and…married?’.
Typically, the cowboy reads that my fingers turn do not have this twist to them, so you bet I wanted to turn the ebook pages in this read and find out where the story would be leading me.
Our introduction to the two characters was already laid out before us in the summary, but it is how they got to that moment that is well worth reading about. Most definitely, it’s one of those scenarios that you can write about, bend, shape and mould it to exactly how you want in comparison to how it happens in real life, and Kim did an excellent job re-telling the story up until the moment we open the first page of the book.
Both of the main characters come with an interesting story about their families, the Rykers and the Wildes, a classic Capulet and Montague moment. Referencing again the line in the blurb ‘So what happens when a Wilde and a Ryker wake up in Vegas, in the same bed, hungover, and…married?’, it is clear that the two families would not exactly be civil, friendly towards one another. How unfriendly and at odds, remained to be seen until it it unfolds. Getting to know the backstory and the conflict as it currently stands when our two main characters are presently involved, proved to be quite enjoyable.
Kim managed to take the classic family rivalry and put her own spin on it, invoking interest from myself and hopefully others who will read this book. It will be a pleasure to read more about them as the series goes on.
Perhaps what I liked most of all about this book, was the easy nature between the two main characters. So many authors build up so much angst, that when you are barely making a dent in reading a book, you’re done. Sutton and Sera? Not so much. Of course, any couple have their fair share of trials and tribulations, but the sweet romantic nature between the two was a refreshing change of pace from so much angst in other reads. This read is a perfect balance to your ideal spicy read, with its sweet, small-town romance.
If you’re in for a rollercoaster of a ‘will they won’t they’ journey, full of sweet moments and chapters you have to finish from cover to cover, then Wild Ride is the book for you.

Kim Loraine has once again delivered a smart and sexy cowboy romance with all the feels. I will always be partial to the Rykers. When Ms. Loraine introduced me to the cowboy romance genre with her Ryker Ranch Series, I had a hard time picking my favorite Ryker brother. Each new book became my absolute favorite. But now, she is introducing a whole new series that focuses on the Wilde family, long time rivals of the Rykers.
What better way to connect the series than a forbidden relationship! Sera Ryker, who has had minor parts in the Ryker Ranch series, which focused on the relationships of her brothers, is the focus here. Sera finds herself married to Sutton Wilde after a whirlwind trip to Vegas. When the dust clears and the magnitude of what they have done hits, Sutton asks her for 30 days to prove himself worthy of her love. He is bound and determined to win her heart completely.
Sutton is such a captivating hero. He didn’t have the best example of a loving home, but that makes him all the more determined to do better and love better. Ms. Loraine writes strong female characters and Sera is a perfect example. Having been hurt in the past she is wary of giving herself over to love again but Sutton's efforts to win her over are going to be hard to resist, especially given the crazy hot chemistry that is evident when these two interact.
I loved the premise of this story. Ms. Loraine excels at exploring family dynamics in the context of budding relationships. The interactions among family members make for a more believable story and help give the characters more personality.
Reading this story was wonderful, but I will say Aaron Sheldock and Stella Hunter’s narration definitely added to the experience. Their voices pair so well together. Aaron Shedlock has definitely got the cowboy swoon down pat and Stella Hunter has such a pleasant tone to her voice that is perfectly suited to Sera’s character.
Having read the entire Ryker Ranch Series, I can already tell it will be just as interesting and entertaining to get to know more about the Wilde brothers. It will be hard to outdo Sutton and Sera’s story, but I’ve learned not to underestimate Kim Loraine.

After reading the Ryker Ranch series, I knew that I was going to have to read the WIlde Horse Ranch series. And let me tell you you, book one in this new series does not disappoint. I was not prepared for Sutton Wilde. At all. And when Sutton and Serafina wake up in Vegas to their family's biggest rival. Well…I knew Kim Loraine was going to bring readers on a Wild Ride {pun intended}. Having read the Ryker series I knew a little about Sera, but Sutton was basically unknown, and frankly really disliked because he is a Wilde afterall. But when the pair returned home to a media circus, they decided to live together and stay married for 30 days. Sutton is dead set on making his wife fall in love with him, while Sera, she just wants to make the 30 days. And of course take the trip she earned.
When I said I wasn’t prepared for Sutton I was not. This man. He comes from a broken home, and lost his mother at a very young age. And his father, well he didn’t do much in the way of raising his children….he was more focused on marrying and divorcing women. He is quick witted, funny, and really loves hard. How he gently nudged Sera into spending time with him and hopefully falling in love with him was beautiful. But Sera, she is stubborn and was not interested in getting hurt and micromanaged like she had been in the past. And when they finally couldn’t resist each other the chemistry was off the charts and very hot!
Sutton and Sera’s story warmed my heart. I adored the way he loved her so fiercely. And my heart broke for them at the same time because the past was playing a huge role in their future happiness together. One of the best parts of a family series is seeing the relationship between the siblings. In the Ryker series you get a really good look at their family, but I loved how Loraine showed us the lives of the Wilde brothers. I am so looking forward to all of their stories! I highly recommend this book and I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this series.

Rating: 4.5 Stars
Sutton has gotten the surprise of his life. Sera is so confused about her current situation. I loved the back-and-forth banter since our couple gave me some good chuckle moments. Also loved the first-person point of view. It’s a great way to hear the thoughts that the other has no clue of.
There’s plenty of realism to this story. Some may be a little hush hush due to the original location. Then we have the will they or won’t they and the other question of “who’s going to come in and try and wreck things?” But the emotions that these two characters have will at times touch your heart. As for the steam heat, depending on where you live you just may need a fan or at the very least a window open.
I would like to say that it will be easy for you to find a place to stop but I would be lying. Life gets in the way and you have no choice but to put a book down. Trouble is, I’m a person that always wants to find the perfect stopping point. I could not find that here. I always wanted to know what roadblocks she was going to put in the main characters way. Then the issue becomes when you want to check out the next one coming up. You just have to be careful about a sore neck because there were times where I felt that if I was in some of the scenes, I’d have those moments looking back and forth with the funny look on my face.
This shows how complicated life between two people can be – especially when an author has creative license. And isn’t that why some of you watch the reality programs? That you don’t have to deal with the drama and problems they have. The difference between them and Sutton and Sera might be that since this is considered a romance, we look forward to seeing if they will get the happy ending that most fictional romance characters do. But just like some of the reality programs, this series isn’t over yet so we get to look forward to another wild ride – sorry, just couldn’t help myself.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I've read the previous books and knew of the feud between the Rykers and Wildes. And as soon this book came up I knew I had to read it. This book had everything a surprise marriage between feuding families needed. The clash of these families plays out through this story but the main thing that plays out is a beautiful love story.
Although this starts out as a taboo marriage, a lot of people get used to it. Being on a reality show, they kind of have to. But in saying that not all parties a happy and make things difficult and cause a whole lot of heartache. I loved Sutton's passion, he was sensitive, funny, and couldn't be more different from his father. Now we already knew how feisty and ballsy Serafina really was. And when the two of these come together in Vegas to have a giggle and get married for a holiday, sparks and passions fly.
I totally recommend this book and series. It was thoroughly entertaining and I couldn't put it down. Before I knew it the book was over, that's my only grumble is that I never wanted it to end. One thing that this book did was put closure to the Rykers family story and leaves the door wide for the Wilde men to get there happy ever afters.

Hot cowboys, beautiful woman and a night in Vegas, what could possibly go wrong. Well if your Sera and Sutton a lot. Kim has you hooked right from the beginning.
Sera and her family are involved in a TV show ranches and horses. She is in Vegas for some publicity event without any family with her. She sees the one family that is a rival with her family for years, the Wilde family, but Sutton Wilde has her heart fluttering like crazy, Sutton. He has had a grip on her feelings for a while, but she keeps her heart guarded because she has been hurt.
Sutton is with his brother and friends having a fun time in Vegas. That was until he saw Sera Ryker, and found out that she was on her own. He has had feelings for her for years but will not act upon them because of the feud between the families. Being the gentleman that he is, Sutton asked her if she would like to join him for dinner. To his surprise, she says yes.
What could possibly go wrong? Well if there is a free tip, alcohol and Vegas involved, a lot. Imagine your surprise when you wake up and your whole life has changed and it is all over social media. Will you be able to get it rectified? Can you survive the backlash from both families? Will they actually accept their feeling for each other or will their families cause a lot of damage between them?
This story has you cheering for Sutton and Sera and the relationship that they want. The storyline is well written, sweet and definite enemies to lovers trope. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series.

Wide ride, is not only wild, its hot, its steamy and full of turns which make you dizzy. Just when you get comfortable and think you know which direction it's going in, so it takes a sharp turn and throws you off track, waits until you re-settled and then it does it again !! This is my 2nd book by Kim Loraine, thats blown me away so yes im outta here to go get some more of these hot cowboys.
Right from page one you feel the heat between Sera Ryker and Sutton Wilde, but a Ryker and Wilde getting together? Isn't going to happen!! A long standing feud between the two families pretty much makes this impossible. Add into the mix, that the Rykers are the stars of a long running reality show, so when Sera and Sutton wake up together, tattooed and married whilst in Vegas, the sparks fly. A quickie divorce is off the cards after a video of them getting married has gone viral before they have even woken up.
What follows, is a real mix of a long held love, against a background of mis-trust, hate and strong family bonds. My only critism is that all the events awhich go on are supposed to take place within a one month period, and this is repeated at various points in the book. But there are a few places which made me think this had gone on over a lot longer period of time, which was a little confusing until I decided to stop worrying about that and just enjoy "the Ride"(pun intended)

This was a really great friendenemies to love romance between two warring families in a small town with a Vegas wedding forcing them to stay married.
Sera's family has a reality TV show and thats one reason she is in Vegas. Sutton is there with his brothers celebrating a birthday. They run into each other and are offered a free Hawaiian vacation in exchange for getting married and so they go for it.
The next morning they discover that the small ceremony is online and the TV network wants her to stay married and so she ends up living with Sutton on his ranch. Meanwhile Sutton has always crushed on Sera but because of the family enemy thing he never had a shot and so he decides now is the perfect chance for him to try and get her to fall for him.
I really enjoyed this story. I adored Sutton and at times I wanted to shake Sera because she has this awesome guy who wants her so badly. I loved Sutton's brothers and I even grew to like Wes. The whole reality tv show on a ranch was fun too and I enjoyed watching how Sutton and Sera get to know each other and spend time with each other.
If you enjoy the Vegas marriage trope then you will adore this story. It easily stands alone but I also loved seeing Sera's brothers and their families from the other books as they get involved in her life.
I received a free ARC copy of this book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
