Becky's Reviews > Wild Ride

Absolutely loved!

I've been dying for Dex to have a story since Tara and Fitz's book, and I am happy to report, he did not disappoint!

Dex and Ashley's story was a freaking delight from start to finish--the troublemaking hockey bad boy who falls for the single mom? Yes, please! Shelter pets with actual personalities (and not just because of the labels sprinkled throughout the book, like

Blu
Domestic short-haired cat
Likes: Playing with the toilet roll
Dislikes: The Patriarchy

though they certainly didn't hurt!) and a kid who feels like an actual little person, not a plot moppet? Tell me more!

Add in the fact that Dex is (of course!) far more complex than the tabloids and hockey talking heads will have you think, and Ashley and Willa might just be the start to the family that he never thought he deserved, and I don't know about you, but I'm sold.

And oh, yes--there's also a healthy dose of steam in there to keep things interesting for everyone.

Wild Ride, like the rest of the Rookie Rebels books, can absolutely be read as a standalone. But in order to really appreciate how much Dex needs this HEA--not to mention seeing how all of his teammates who are living their own HEAs (the ones Dex is secretly getting kind of jealous of, even though it takes him a while to figure it out) got to theirs, do yourself a favor and read them all!

Earlyish on I was fairly certain that Banks' story was going to be next, and I was ready for it. Then a certain scene occurred, and now I AM READY FOR IT.

Is it September yet??? ;)

Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
