About the author

Rebecca Sharp

72 books2,698 followers
Rebecca Sharp always loved a good love story. Let's face it, when you include a romance novel on your 8th grade summer reading list just to see if the teacher would notice (she didn't!), she was bound to give writing one of her own a go. There's really no corner of romance that she doesn't (or wouldn't) enjoy writing, except maybe aliens, much to her husband's dismay, so her large catalog features a little something for everyone. However, her love of shows like NCIS and Criminal Minds makes her favorite stories to write the ones with some kind of suspense and crime solving.

When she's not writing, she's at her office treating patients, and somewhere between those two things, you'll find her wandering the globe with her husband always searching for their next adventure.

Enjoy the Ride is the third book in the Winter Games series by Dr. Rebecca Sharp. It's a second chance sports romance between two soulmates broken apart by a single act of betrayal. Why would soulmates betray each other? Well, let's just say one of the characters felt the need to save the other from themselves by forcing their hand in a major life decision.

we-2

The result of this convoluted attempt at selflessness was two heartbroken individuals unable to move on and be truly happy in their life. Sure, they seemed to have moved on. Both parties relocated to different cities and dated and slept with other people, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't make space for anyone else in their heart. They already belonged to each other, and no amount of time or distance could change that.

Stuck just going through the emotions, they carry on living for eight years until fate brings them back together. Jessa begins a new job at a rehabilitation facility in Colorado, and Chance, a competitive snowboarder, seriously damages his knee. When he finds out Jessa is an employee at the facility he's been referred to, he specifically requests her to be his physical therapist. She ripped out his soul with one kiss, and now that she's back, he's going to make her pay for her sins.

1pCS

Enjoy the Ride is a super steamy tale of true love gone wrong. It's also a prime example of why two people in love need to communicate, trust, and respect one another enough to make their own decisions. There was so much faulty logic going on between the characters in this book it was kind of mind blowing. I wanted to reach inside the story and bash some heads.

Oddly enough, I felt more for Chance than I did for Jessa despite going through a trauma similar to hers in my own life more than once. I guess it's because Chance is given no real say in decisions she unilaterally makes in a misguided attempt to protect him from himself. He was left a heartbroken shell, and then when light is shed on some important truths, he feels guilty for not questioning things that happened more and for decisions he made as a result of having his heart ripped out. 
ekeo-1

That being said, I still enjoyed the story overall. I would recommend it to readers not easily aggravated with conflict revolving around assumptions and poor communication. The romance is heavy on the heat too, so if you're looking for something to fog up your kindle, this is a safe bet.

The side characters we're introduced to in this one peaked my interest enough to make me curious about their stories. Frost is especially intriguing to me, but his heroine's journey may be problematic in my case. I'll wait to make a decision on that one when I have more information. In the meantime, if this sounds appealing to you, I'd give it a shot! Sports and second chance romance fans, this one's for you!

I Enjoyed My Ride with Chance Ryder!!

Sharp has once again produced an absolute Masterpiece. Enjoy the Ride has it All. It has the love, the turmoil, the angst, and of course the SnowmassHole. 

Chance Ryder, snowboarding god, must face the realities of losing his livelihood. When he is faced with a career ending injury he retreats into the darkness. Pushes everyone away. Sharp did a phenomenal job of portraying him in the alpha asshole light. I wanted to kiss him and smack him at the same time.

Jessa Madison, after forcing Chance to hate her, returns to Aspen and lands her dream job. She is a smart, funny, fiesty and strong lady. She doesnt take the BS Chance throws her way. 

And when circumstances force Chance and Jessa to spend time together, sparks start flying. Their attraction and their flame never wavered in the eight years they were apart. They seriously steam up the pages with their lust, their hatred and their secrets. 
Enjoy the Ride is definitely my Favorite of the Winter Games series.

Enjoy the Ride (Winter Games #3)
By: Rebecca Sharp
4 Stars

Finally managed to pop my Rebecca Sharp cherry!!! Enjoy the Ride was quite the book to be my first. A page turning second chance romance.

Chance Ryder Best Snowboarder in the US and madly in love with his girlfriend, Jessa. But in the blink of an eye, the love of his life was out of his life. Then the title he wore with pride was taken from him. How is a person to survive after losing the 2 best things in life?

Jessa Lynn Madison left town to pursue her dream. One that when she decided to leave and go to college in another state, her heart along with her boyfriend’s heart would shatter. It wasn’t easy leaving behind the one she loved but she knew she had to.

Her dreams…His dreams…

Now 8 years later, Jessa has landed the dream job. One she has worked her tail off to land. She’s a physical therapist in the clinic back in Colorado. Life is going well!!! Until she meets her first patient.

Chance could not believe his eyes! She was back! The one who shattered his heart.

Now that they both are older, is it possible for the shattered hearts they both carry around can somehow form a heart that beats like a normal person? Or will the anger that he carries be enough to seek the revenge that he’s planned all along?

What a good, well-paced second chance romance book! Really enjoyed this one.

"Everywhere I looked there were reminders of him - the walking, talking, breathing, missing piece of my heart."

Enjoy the Ride is not a fairytale and is not about perfection. It's about falling and mistakes, about rising up and overcoming. It's about life and the people that you find along the ride. It's about two human beings falling in love as a boy and a girl taking on their second chance 8 years later.

"Like the mountain, she was strong and fierce. Grounded and free. I admired her beyond words. And I wanted to conquer her beyond reason."

The story of Jessa and Chance is a ride that is plastered with loss, hate, mistakes, secrets and soul deep love. Their second chance started as a vengeful plan with an outcome neither of them see coming. The banter between Jessa and Chance - even though it's full of spite and hate in the beginning - is somehow funny. Mostly because as a reader you realize quickly, that you can only hate what you love.

But fate will put together what belongs together and within great chemistry and attraction between the two main characters lies also a story full of friendship and deep love for family and people that hold you up when you want nothing more than crumble.

"She was still my dream. She was one of those pieces of me that I'd strapped to my soul as surely as I'd done with a snowboard."

Enjoy the Ride is a sweet and steamy second chance romance full of drama, raw characters and the realization that you can't outrun what life planned for you. Sometimes you just have to take the long route.

Another great read in this ongoing series. The story was filled with a ton of emotion, a lot of craziness, and a lot of hotness, it had a great cast of characters the story was also filled with pain and suffering, healing and revenge and a love that stood the test of time.

Chance-Chance was a character you were drawn to immediately as he was suffering a personal loss and in pain not just from injury but, also suffered a broken heart and a man who has lost his way and needs to figure out who he is and what he needs to figure out about his new life and how to move on after all his hopes and dreams were lost. My heart went out to Chance time and time again you just wanted to hug him as he looked so broken all the time, and you felt the man's pain and yet, you wanted to give him a good a** kicking for being a miserable prick and a bit of a bully.

Jessa - Jessa was one of those characters that was bright and beautiful, caring, had a huge heart but, as successful as she is, lonely and heartbroken and carrying around a lot of pain and one very big secret that had her grieving for years of all that could have been.

Chance was a total Alpha A hole who was sexy as sin ,heartbroken, and a man who lives up to his name as one of the "Snowmassholes". Chance was one of those characters that you just love to hate but, can't help but love.

Jessa and Chance were high school sweethearts but, years ago she broke his heart, and he has never forgiven her, so when she returns home he makes his mission to punish her and oh, boy are those some of the sexiest punishments I have ever seen.
LoL and grin....

This story was heartfelt, emotional, filled with tons of drama, loss, heartbreak, and making sacrifices in order for the one you love the most could fulfill their dreams whether it was right or wrong it was a choice you thought you had to make. The story was not your typical revenge story because Chance's revenge was meant to be a sexual one. The story was also intense, funny, filled with a lot of hotness but, it was also about healing and forgiveness and about getting a Chance to regain the love once lost. I loved the fact that this romance was different from anything I have ever read before, and it was something fresh and new for us, and we loved that it had a snowboarding theme to it.

Overall story was a hit for us, and we really loved it and are so loving the series and its character's with men who are all total Alpha A-holes and a mystery but, you can't help but love them all and the women who heal them.


This was a great addition to this ongoing series.

Recommended read to all.

Perhaps the most important thing to know about this Winter Games series is that it’s crazy addicting.

Like, even as I was working my way through Chance and Jessa’s story, I was already getting excited about the next one. The stories, at their core, are fascinating to me. They’re filled with drama, angst, and multi-layered characters whose layers I just want to keep peeling back.

Chance and Jessa were no exception. Loaded with drama, and a history full of heartbreak, the second chance between these two did not come without a lot of raw emotion: anger, lust, and finally a bit of sweetness. I struggled a little bit with them sometimes. I felt like what I was shown of their connection was all physical, and the story leaned heavily on the sex scenes. They steamed up the pages of my kindle over and over again, but for a long time that’s all they did. Their physical reconnection worked because of their history together, but I would have liked to have explored more of their emotional connection in present tense. Instead, I felt like the emotional connection was only given to me in the “telling” of their history together, at least until the very end when it all came together in a perfect little package.

That said, the story – at its core – was still solid. If alphaholes are your thing, then you’re going to love the crap out of Chance who is this sort of perfect mix of awful and wonderful and wildly possessive. I loved seeing his evolution over the course of the book, the slow exposure of his soft underbelly, and the way he and Jessa found their way back to each other. I also loved the time I got to spend with this mix of family and friends, revisiting previous stories, and getting updates as this story played out. And the set-up for the next story has me basically on pins and needles , bouncing with excitement to see how that plays out.

In all? This was a super steamy, raw, and addictive drama that was well worth the read. And, as I noted, I am already hungry for the next one! ~ Shelly, 3.5 Stars

Chance and Jessa's story might be my favorite in the series so far! And that's saying something because I totally swooned over Wyatt in book 1 and melted over alphahole Emmett in book 2. But, Chance...I don't know, Chance just has that something. He's like the best of both worlds! He has his alphahole moments. His need for revenge after being hurt. But, ultimately, it's his soft, gooey center that lets those plans fall apart. At the end of the day, he's still in love with Jessa, and that's his true motivation. (As it should be!)

I wouldn't normally say this about a heroine, but I loved Jessa's willingness to let Chance "use" her because she felt guilty for hurting him so long ago. It showed me that she loved him enough to let him work out his demons on her, whether it was right or wrong. But she also had her limits and put her foot down when she'd had enough of his crap. She wasn't a doormat, but she wasn't bitter, either. She's one of the more complex heroines I've read lately, and it was refreshing.

There are also plenty of peeks into the lives of the previous couples and a closer look at Tammy, which I really enjoyed. I'm eager to get her story. Bring on Frost!

I read this as a buddy read with my girlfriend. What ride this was!!!!

I had never read anything from Dr. Sharp, so I went into this one blind: not knowing her writing style or character development. I was pleasantly surprised! Of course, I’m a sucker for second chance romances.

Enjoy the ride was a HOT.....steamy HOT book! Chance was......WOWZER!!!!! Jessa was such a complex woman but Chance was her person and she needed him back in her life.

Even though this is Book 3, it can be read as a stand-alone; that being said, I plan on checking out the first two books.

Emotions are everywhere! OMG!!!!! I’m seriously still on an emotional high right now! From beginning to end the love that Jessa and Chance shared has always been a fire storm!!the push and pull, their deep desires for one another and oh how fiercely they both loved just made this story such an amazing read! I couldn’t put the book down and the few times I did my mind was constantly on these two!

This group of friends/family has burrowed deep in my soul! I love that you still get to see each character and how they are all there for each other! With each book the angst and emotions have increased and man I can’t wait for book 4!

You can see this and other Reviews I have written along with various cover reveals, excerpts, and giveaways here Nadine's Obsessed with Books

Dr. Rebecca Sharp is a new to me author, although I hadn't read any of her work before I did have a couple of books on my TBR shelf and I also had the pleasure of meeting her and her husband at a book signing over the summer. Very sweet woman, I highly recommend you saying hello if you have the opportunity at a book signing she was gracious enough to tell me about herself and her work without any pressure of purchasing, although I did because I had planned on it, like I said very nice. Anyway, back to the book......

Chance had his heart not only broken by his ex-girlfriend she totally destroyed it. They were High School sweethearts with plans on moving to Texas so she can go to college near her family, but then Jessa did the unthinkable and it was over. Chance kinda, sorta, moved on, but never let his heart get involved, other than his love for snowboarding and his family. Then Jessa is back and all Chance wants is revenge.

Jessa had her reasons for doing things the way she did, don't we all? You always think its for the best but what if it wasn't? What if it was your biggest regret? Will moving back to Aspen allow Jessa to make things up to Chance? Or will he get the revenge he so desperately desires?

Winter Games is a series of standalone books that are connected through friendship and family. That being said I did not read the first two books in the series and I did not feel as if I needed to in order to follow this story, I will say that I did like the two couples so I will be going back and reading their story to see how each of them got their HEAs. I have added the fourth book, In Too Deep, to my TBR shelf as well, it isn't scheduled for release until February 2019 but I am really looking forward to seeing how Tammy and Frost get together. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys sports romance, second chances, or the enemies-to-lovers trope. Happy Reading!!!

What have I been waiting for? This is the first book I read by this author and I’m blown away. I cannot believe that I have not picked up one of her books sooner!

This is the third book in the Winter Games series and although it can be read as a standalone, you’ll definitely want to read the previous in the series as well.

After eight years and getting her Physical Therapy degree, Jessa returns to Aspen to start new, to heal and to make amends for betraying and devastating the only man she ever loved.

When Chance finds out Jessa has returned, he makes plans to have Jessa fall in love with him all over again only to leave and cause her heart to break the way she did his.

There is a fine line between love and hate. Will these two cross the threshold back into love or, are old wounds and secrets just too much to heal and forgive?

This is hands down my favourite second chance romance to date.

Jessa and Chase are on fire! Their back and forth was foreplay and was so sexy!

Chance was alpha male to the extreme. He is demanding and possessive-an absolute heartthrob. He more than proves himself to be worthy of being the man at Jessa’s side.

Jessa is smart and caring. Although the decision she made and the secrets she kept
for so long grated, I understood her reasoning.

This book is sexy and page-turning. You’ll without a doubt enjoy the ride.

I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Let me start by saying that I hadn't read the previous two books so I was coming in blind. And, for most of the story it didn't really matter.
There were a few places I noted it would have been beneficial, however, it was easy to overlook as this story was absolutely amazing.

Where to start?
Oh!
Can we please take a moment to appreciate that cover... yum!

From the beginning I could tell this was going to be a bumpy ride, full of anticipation and suspense. I was not disappointed.

The push and pull of the characters reeled me in and had me wondering who would through the next punch.

Who would break first?

"Sometimes, dear, there is beauty in the breaking.”

And oh, how beautiful it was...

When they finally give in to what was there all along it was explosive. It was raw. It was intense. It. Was. Epic.

Betrayal, lust, hope, love and forgiveness were just some of the things this book touched on.
There were parts that made me laugh out loud and parts that had me pulling my hair out.
I wanted to cry, I wanted to smile, I wanted to jump into the book and smack some heads together.

But, at the end of all this there was a very, very sweet ending that made the ride so worthwhile.

Enjoy the ride.
I sure did.

The sport of Snowboarding was a very new and interesting backdrop for a romance novel for me, and I was intrigued by that along with the premise of this second chances enemies-to-lovers romance.

Parts of the story and characters reminded me of LJ Shen’s Sinners of saint series, and those books are totally my catnip. There were some discrepancies in the plot and the writing style, or it’s just me being nit picky, but that could be due to it being an ARC. The pace was a tad slow in places and I felt like the book could use some chopping down. I was also uncomfortable with the treatment a female character (admittedly annoying) received through the book. Having said all that, I was hooked into the story and it’s many beautiful moments.

I felt like we were missing some pieces of the story (it’s the third book in series) even though it’s a standalone, but maybe it was just that I thought we could use a little more background about Jessa and Chance’s families. And I definitely wanted more bonding between the Snowmassholes. However, the book excels in showing the heartwarming friendship between the 3 women and their unequivocal support for each other.

The chemistry between the leads is incendiary and the sexytimes are incredibly HOT even with all that cold snow. 😉 Some of their conflict does feel stretched out, but the resolution is handled more maturely than I expected. What I found myself most invested in however, was the story I felt brewing between Tammy and Nick, which I’m excited to find out are the subject of the next book, and I can already see it being super emotional and heartbreaking, and I can’t wait to read it. 😭

This is my first story by Dr. Rebecca Sharp, and I am wondering where I have been!

Enjoy the Ride is part of the Winter Games series, however it can be read as a standalone.  

This is the story of Jessa and Chance.  High school sweethearts, everything was sunshine and snowflakes.  

For Jessa, I could feel her being overwhelmed by Chance's very being.  He was larger than life.  He was ruthless in his pursuit of her and she had plans and dreams of her own.

Chance was the definition of Pride.  He felt like he was ten feet tall and bulletproof. He wanted Jessa, and Jessa he would have.

Jessa has to do something drastic.  And drastic measures she took to make sure her and Chance's dreams become a reality.  And in doing so, broke her heart and her soul. She runs for her dream.

Flash forward eight years and she is back in Chance's orbit.  He has revenge on his mind, anger and hurt in his soul.  

I reveled in Chance's alphahole-ness (is that a word?!? If not, it should be).  I also swooned at his soft side.  I admired Jessa's spirit, her fight and her struggle to keep things professional between her and Chance.

Their chemistry is electric and the smexy times where meltingly hot!  

I cannot wait to read more of Dr. Sharp! I am so glad to have had the chance to read her!

This one will definitely take you on a ride.

I hadn’t read the previous books before this one, but luckily this can be read as a stand-alone.

The sexual chemistry was off the charts. It was a slow build up though. Which can work in some cases. Here, the slow burn wasn’t necessary.

It’s a longer read. More than what I thought originally so it took me a while to fully get into the story.

Im general it’s a great story, I love second chance romances. Especially when there’s a love/hate thing going on. The tarot cards being a theme was actually pretty fun! I love tarot stuff.

Chance was a major alphahole. No doubt about that. His woah is me persona was getting a bit annoying when his inner monologues just rambled on. But his possessiveness towards Jess’s was awesome! I loved that!

Jessa, she was a nonchalant spitfire lol. What she did to Chance was immature for sure. But she was young and the pressure from it all was too much for her. Her love for Chance was always shown though.

The inner monologues went too detailed in sometimes, like I could of cut sooo much fluff in the story that was unnecessary. Yet some situations were rushed. It would of been nice to see their interactions with characters to be able to get more emotions out there.

All in all it’s a hella sexy read that will show you, sometimes you can’t outrun your soulmate.

This is the first book I've read that was written by Dr. Rebecca Sharp. Being book 3 in the Winter Games series, I can truly attest to the fact that it took nothing away from the story of Chance and Jessa by not having read the first two books in there series.
But what it did do is make me realize that I want to know what I've missed amongst this group of friends and family who have formed this tight knit group. And I absolutely can not wait to get Frost and Tammy's story. The subtleties in the story telling that introduces the reader to others does nothing to take away the focus from the main characters but simply makes you fall in love and want more from everyone you read about!
The past has a way of haunting you until you no longer let it control you but it embrace it for what it was and look to the future for all that it's worth.
Both Chance and Jess have endured a lifetime of pain for different reasons but the healing makes it worth the ride!
The characters called to me while the story captivated me and held me hostage to the final page.
I am a new fan for sure!

This is the third book in the Winter Games series but can be read as a standalone. This is the story of Jessa and Chance who were High school sweethearts. This story just like the others in the series had me hooked from the start until the end and I never wanted to put it down. Another awesome story by the author. I have to say this is my favourite book in the series so far.

Chance Ryder, snowboarding god, must face the realities of losing his livelihood. When he is faced with a career ending injury he retreats into the darkness and pushes everyone away.

Jessa Madison, after forcing Chance to hate her, returns to Aspen and lands her dream job. She is a smart, funny, feisty and strong lady.

And when circumstances force Chance and Jessa to spend time together, sparks start flying. Their attraction and their flame never wavered in the eight years they were apart.

There are also plenty of peeks into the lives of the previous couples and a look at Tammy, which I really enjoyed. I can't wait to get to read her story.

It was a great read!! I didn't know about this series until I read this book and now I want to read all the others. Specially the next one coming because Frost and Tammy desperately need something to go right in their lives. 


This story is great because it has steamy moments, some issues to resolve and some fun included in it. When they were younger, Jessa and Chance were consumed by each other. And even when that is not a bad thing, they were to young and overwhelmed to know how to handle a future, how to communicate better. Now, life has pushed them both down to the point of braking them. The rage Chance is feeling is making him want to break Jessa some more. But they will realize that together there is no more breaking. Together they become home to each other. They heal. They complete each other.

Wow! This book is HOT!! Chance and Jessa’s story should have steam coming off the pages.

Their journey back to each other after years apart is full of angst, self-loathing and recriminations. There’s also the undercurrent of a white hot attraction which threatens to spiral out of control. Can they ever face the truth and reconcile? Will the past always haunt them? So many questions!

This book is an example of what the author does best. The emotion is there on every page; so tangible, you feel it yourself. I almost felt choked by it, consumed by all the feelings. It’s a heady feeling and one I enjoyed so much. I didn’t want the story to end.

I was gripped by this story. In fact, I’m enamoured with the whole series. It just gets better and better.

Rebecca Sharp has done it again. Enjoy the Ride is as angsty, heartbreaking and steamy as the previous installments in the series. I could not put this book down. My heart went out for the characters. I rooted for them, almost cried for them, squealed and giggled when something cute or romantic happened. I just loved this book so much and would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

I honestly don't know what to say, about my feelings for this book, I had the review worked out in my mind, but after just finishing this story. I am completely unable to process the magnitude of Awe and love I have for this story, this series and these characters. So I am just going to wing it and hope and pray my review is good enough. I have been eagerly awaiting for Chance and Jessa's story for so long and it was worth every single minute, hour, day and weeks that I waited because it exceeded every expectation I had. This is the 3rd book in the Winter Games series, but could easily be read without reading the first two. But I really recommend you read the first two books as well they are amazing also. This is one of my favourite series, I just Love it, I Love spending my time on the Mountain with My Favourite Snowmassholes.
Chance Ryder is my Perfect Badboy Assholes, which means you will Love to Hate him, but just end up Loving him, even with all his anger and pain you realise it is all a mask for the hurt that life keeps throwing at him.
Jessa is quirky and kind but really doesn't think before she acts which made her do something that causes 8 years of separation between her and Chance. Because of their turbulent and passionate past, When they are brought together again, Chance finds it difficult to forgive Jessa and so plots his revenge.
But fate has other plans and destiny knows they are meant for one another, because nothing can hide the desire that is brewing like a storm between them.
This is an explosive story between two people whose Love for one another is hidden behind the volatile walls they built around them.
Rebecca's words will keep you hooked and committed right until the very end and I feel empty now its over. I absolutely Loved Enjoy The Ride and YES I Did Enjoy the ride that was Chance and Jessa's story. My emotions were on High Alert and I was in so much turmoil reading, I felt all the things that Chance and Jessa went through, sweeping me into the hurricane of their stormy relationship. The push and pull, the love and Hate, the passion, sadness and joy. I cried at the heartbreak, I cried at the happiness, it was a whirlwind that I would willingly be swept into again. I have lived and breathed Chance, Jessa and the Mountain for 4 days(yes I am a slow reader) and they are still on my mind now even after reading... I think I need one of Jessa's tarot cards to advise me how to get over this book.. Lol.. I am already excited for book number 4.
Incredible Rebecca breathtaking I am under your spell.
Highly recommend it.

Chance. I was waiting for his book since Channing’s book and the despair I felt from her about her twin brother ‘s disappearing. With Emmet’s book in between these two I was waiting and hoping for the heartbreak I was sure this book would bring me.
In the Winter Games books you always have this one big feeling soaking through every page of the book. Book 1 had despair. Channing’s despair. Book 2 had grief. Ally’s grief. This one has rage. It almost dripped from my kindle. Chance’s rage has been bottled up for so long, I was only waiting for him to explode and leave destruction in his way. I was biting my nails to see how and if he and Jessa would come together again and of course I was hoping for a Happy End that seemed far far away in the beginning and the middle.
Both characters were uniquely portrayed and nothing like any other character I have encountered so far. Of course there were familiar traits, but the author managed to spin all those traits to a new and unique fabric. I loved Jessa’s quirks and Chance’s inability to see the good thing right in front of me. I loved how both fought their attraction and stubbornness and I loved loved loved everything about this book.
This book is book 3 in the Winter Games series and while it can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading the other two as well, because you would totally be missing out on a great series with powerful and strong characters.
I cannot wait to get Nick’s book next year, because I think this one will be the final straw hat will completely break me while reading. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing glimpses of him in the book and I am stoked to see how it all turns out <3
The writing style was exceptional as always without plotholes or errors that would have kept me from reading.
I totally recommend this book to people who have enjoyed the first two books, people who like winter setting and everyone who loves a good romance. So pick it up and read this book!

5 Enjoying the Ride Stars

This has been one of those books that I enjoyed from start to finish. Enjoy the Ride is book 3 in the Winter Games series, by Dr. Rebecca Sharp and is my favorite one yet!!! There is something about coming home again and life throwing that curve ball at you and making things right in the world again. But, things are not that easy for Chance and Jessa. Between them are drama, history, fortunes, family, love, heartbreak, jobs and everything else life has to throw at them. This story is so well written that you will just zip right through it.

As far as second chance romances, this one tops the charts. The chemistry flies off the page. You feel their pain, love, angst, happiness as if they are long lost friends. Oh and yes the SnowmassHole is still in effect.

High School sweethearts at their best. But when Jessa walks away, life does not go according to plan for either of them. Now, Jessa is back, trying to start fresh and make amends while Chance is out for one thing; payback for heartbreak that he felt when she left. But fate and what the cards say have another thing coming for them.

Amazing story, but I can't wait to see what next in store for us!!!

After reading my first book by Rebecca earlier this year, I was looking forward to reading Enjoy the ride, and I’m happy to report that it didn’t disappoint !

As the third book in the series, it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the story as they can all be read as standalones ! What it did do was make me want to read the other two books before this one, and they have now been added to my tbr !

Enjoy the ride is a book full of highs and lows, a second chance Romance that hit the spot ! As the the words flowed easily and the pages turned effortlessly as I was fully engaged. Rebecca has a way with characters that make the relatable and likeable leaving you to glide through the story with ease !

I enjoyed Enjoy the Ride and I’m looking forward to seeing what Rebecca does next !

I Have just finished reading this instalment in the winter games series and I can say Dr Rebecca Sharp did not disappoint me on this long awaited release. Jess and Chance had a fantastic chemistry, straight off the bat. I loved this book the way its written so you can see the characters views through their own eyes and get all the feels. Once again I'm absolutely gobsmacked as to how to put into words how great this book was to read. I will eagerly await the next installment in this series as if it's anything like the last 3 books I know in my heart it will not disappoint. Thank you Rebecca for another fantastic read. Will be recommending this book and author.
