Publisher's summary

He's got a touch that's hotter than hot.

It took a hell of a lot of fast-talking and more than a few speeding tickets before Mitch Thompson convinced Constable Anna Coleman to take him for a ride. Only now that she's loosened off her stiff RCMP uniform, it's not nearly enough. Their secret sexual escapades are mind blowing, but Mitch wants more than her body, he wants her heart.

Her world could go up in flames.

It's a dangerous road to walk, and Anna doesn't know how far she can safely tread. Bad boy Mitch may have lured her wild side out to play, but giving in to their increasingly passionate desires could endanger her very civilized career. Somewhere between yearning and obsession there has to be a balance point.

Or they're both going to get burned.

My Musings

This one started out with a totally erotic sexual scene. At first, I hesitated, not sure this would be of interest to me. While I love erotic romance, I don't care for erotica. I decided to read on a bit before I quit listening. As the story unfolded, I started to enjoy the story. I liked the hero and the heroine, and the chemistry between them is off the charts.

I listened to the audio version, and Tatiana Sokolov gave a great performance. She reads with emotion and gave the hero a gravelly male voice. I would definitely listen to other books where she is the narrator.

This book actually has a great love story, so I'm so glad I didn't give up on it. If you like a heavily erotic story, yet one that does have a real plot, then you will enjoy Rocky Ride as much as I did. Happy reading!

Enjoyed this story

Good story. At first I didn't like it but I keep listening and I really got into it. The first of this story was hard to follow and I wasn't sure if I could finish but give it a chance because it gets so much better than the start.

Nice light listen

super light listen, sweet hero who is a good guy but can be a very bad boy. the heroine was cute and likeable. i wish the pseudo bad guy in the book got something a bit more karmaish but overall i was entertained. Oh, and the smexy times were good.

Story - 3.25

Unexpected....

....but good. I'm glad I got to hear Anna and Mitch's story. It was a good length for a fairly uncomplicated love. I'm happy for Mitch in particular , because he was judged so harshly by the community, he deserved his happily ever after. I admit I wasn't crazy about Anna in the beginning, but she realized her error and what an awesome guy Mitch was, then her personality did an about face. I was also happy with the very sweet ending. I was happily surprised to find this series, although it's volume 1 in a different series, it's still has the Coleman family in it too so I already know the characters. It seems like more of a continuation of the Six Pack Ranch series, which I loved!

Loved It!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Rocky Ride to be better than the print version?

I love audio versions - makes it more realistic.

What does Tatiana Sokolov bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love how she tells the story - puts emotion to the story

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh and cry!!

Any additional comments?

Loved the story - Woman cop falls for bad boy biker - what's not to love

Loved 6 Pack Ranch - Off to a New Great Series!


Hot off her Six Pack Ranch cowboy series, Vivian Arend is full steam ahead with the motor heads in the Thompson's and Son series.

Mitch Thompson owns a garage with his brothers for auto repair. But never mind that…

Mitch and Constable Anna Coleman are fantasy, hookups partners only. However, Mitch wants more than that and he's going to try his best to convince Anna that she wants more than that, as well.

At only four hours long there isn't much time for a deep and intricate plot, but there is enough of one to hold the story together. If you're paying attention to the plot!

I've used this example before, it applies here; this book is like your favorite candy – oh so good but empty calories.

I like that it is set in Canada and Tatiana Sokolov does what she does best – bringing sexy characters on the page to life.

Notes: For the 17+ crowd for language as well as "mature" content

Great, entertaining read

I really enjoyed this story! It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention the entire time. I loved watching Mitch and Anna figure things out and come together. They have been sneaking around and getting physical for a little while but Mitch wants to take things further and actually date Anna. I loved how he went about bringing that up and bringing out the other side to Anna that she has kept hidden for so long. He can see that fire burning and wants to show her that it is okay to let that part of her out, explore and accept it. They definitely have some obstacles to overcome with the judgements that happen with him being a tattooed biker, a legal one, and her being RCMP. I loved how they embraced being together and bringing out the best. This story is on the shorter side but not too short and we get to see plenty of development between our characters and within the characters throughout the story. It had plenty to hold my attention the entire time and I loved seeing them work everything out. I can't wait for the next one!
The narrator did a great job with the story and characters and bringing it to life.

Entertaining

Even though this is a part of a series it can be read or listen to as a standalone.
Plenty of depth to the storyline with characters that have the ability to draw you
into the world.
The relationship between the two main characters definitely has some up and downs
to it which makes it a great story.
The narrator has done a brilliant job of bringing the characters and book alive.
I voluntarily reviewed an audio copy of this book.
