A Wild Ride

Thompson & Sons, Book 5

De: Vivian Arend

Narrado por: Tatiana Sokolov

He’s the town’s golden boy with a bad reputation. She’s the one woman who calls his bluff—and steals his heart.

Troy Thompson has never pretended to be anything more than the guy you don’t bring home to Mom. Charming, confident, and a little too good with his hands, he’s made peace with being the town’s favorite cautionary tale. Until Nicole Adams—their secret fling turned impossible addiction—walks away. She wants commitment, stability, a future. The thought of her finding that with someone else? Not a chance.

Nicole told herself Troy was just for fun—a distraction with a killer smile and sinful talent for making her forget her own name. But when he shows up determined to prove he’s more than the town’s heartbreaker, she’s in trouble. Because this time, he’s not just chasing her body. He’s fighting for her trust, her laughter, and her heart.

And if redemption comes with a wicked grin and a promise whispered against her skin… she just might let him win.

A spicy, redemptive, small-town romance filled with sizzling chemistry, laugh-out-loud banter, and a reformed golden boy who proves forever can start with one very bad idea.

I cannot believe that there are no reviews written for this smoking hot listen! The Thompson brothers are absolutely delicious in this installment. The publisher summary is enough of a revelation that I will not risk any*spoilers*

Tatyana Sokoloff narrates a majority of Vivian Arend's audiobooks. I like to speed it up a little bit and find it does not affect the performance. Sokoloff deserves the solid 4 stars I've given her.

Unfortunately, this is the last book in the series.

Coleman and Thompson’s = great series!

Highly recommend this series. The way the characters continue in the story line is great and the stories believable! Troy and Nichole are officially my favorite right with Mitch and Anna. I look forward to more books by this author!

Thompson & Sons

The Thompson & Sons Series is a must read. Vivian Arend captured each Thompson brother with a distinctive taste of romantic fantasy. I was unable to stop reading / listening.

Great story!

I really enjoyed this one! I loved Troy and Nicole and watching them come together. Troy quickly figured out that he wanted a real shot with Nicole when she told him that she was ending what they had in order to find something serious and settle down. Troy definitely had to put some thought and work into convincing Nicole to give him a shot, that he could change and wasn't just a fun, impulsive, fancy free individual that couldn't be serious or want something serious. I loved as Troy opened himself up to Nicole to let her see the deeper side of things, the sides of himself that he had kept hidden and quiet. Nicole finally starting see the deeper sides of Troy and the different way that he cared for and helped his family and those around him. He didn't need to be obvious about it or get the credit, he just did what they needed. I was engaged with the story and these characters the whole time and really enjoyed it. It held my attention easily throughout and I was really rooting for Troy to end up with Nicole and for Nicole to realize that she didn't have to change too much in order to find the right person for her and to move forward with the next steps of life. This story was well written and a great read. I loved getting to see how the rest of the Thompsons were doing as well.
The narrator did a great job with this and adding that extra dynamic to the story to bring it to life.

Entertaining

Right from the very beginning I was drawn in to the story.
It had a lot of light moments to it but there was enough drama
to keep the storyline moving along .
The chemistry between the two main characters was very believable.
The narrator did a brilliant job of bringing all the characters alive.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this audiobook.

awesome

what great ending to the Thompson son series. it was a great love story. loved that they had to step up and come to terms about their lives. This is a great series.

A Man Worth Keeping

Troy Thompson proves throughout that he is full of surprises, mostly because people underestimate him. I love how humble and quiet he is about things. It's unfortunate that he's given so much of himself and no one around him has noticed, but I love that his heart is in the right place.

I like that Nicole Adams slowly realizes that the guy she's been hooking up with is an enigma and not as straight forward as she thought. When she starts standing up to her family's barbs is when I started liking her.

I love how Troy pursues Nicole, putting the brakes on some of their fun times so they can focus on truly getting to know each other. Her frustration is hilarious. Her getting him to break is hot.

There are two scenes that I absolutely love. First, the babysitting and how he takes to it. Then there's the ending which is absolutely perfect for them. I was worried how this booty call to forever would play out, but I should've known better. 😘 Vivian has written yet another man that any woman, including me, should be happy to call hers. 🩵

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Tatiana Sokolov, who continues to do a wonderful job with these characters.
