Infiltrating a biker gang in hopes of
finding the evidence needed to bring them to justice for
illegal arms sells is a hard enough job for an experienced
operative like Diaz. The last thing he wants to do is baby
sit Jessie, a hellion bent on playing with the big boys even
though he’s adamant she's not ready. The youngest member of
the Wild Rider Crew, a band of misfits turned legit, Jessie
has yet to be given a chance to put her training to use.
Ready and anxious she's unwilling to let Diaz stop her from
getting the chance to prove she's more than able and ready
to bring down the bad guys.
Good thing Jessie is just as stubborn
as the man she desires and she refuses to give up her dream
of having Diaz. Pulling out every trick in her arsenal, in
her book, to make him realize she's no longer the
starry-eyed teenager he first met is just what she’s willing
to do.
Diaz is a man who's tortured by his
past, a past filled with violence and rage. Rage he’s been
able to control and the last thing a rough and tumble guy
like him needs is to touch an innocent like Jessie. He will
have to keep his cool as he takes his team into the clutches
of what could be a life threatening assignment but most of
all he will have to figure out a way to keep his hands to
himself.
Continuing her streak of impressive
offerings Jaci Burton's latest Wild Rider addition
brings plenty of fire and excitement in a story that makes
me rethink the appeal of bikers. In Riding Temptation,
a rough agent with a cynical view of the world is paired
with a fresh eyed young woman who refuses to take no for an
answer. From the beginning, the story takes on an emotional
intensity that's palpable but intriguing. Jaci created a
heroine who was sharp and street smart but still an
overwhelming innocent. Rounding off this winning combination
is Diaz, the strong silent and take-charge type who was able
to bypass his rough beginnings and make a career on the
right side of the law. Riding Temptation is
definitely a keeper and great complement to the Wild
Riders series. |
