FOUR WILDE BROTHERS...ONE WILDE COUNTRY BAND
WILDE RIDERS is the first novel in a spicy new contemporary romance series about four sexy brothers, their small-town bar and their local country band. WILDE RIDERS can be read as a STAND ALONE NOVEL or as part of the SERIES.
Cooper Wilde spent his entire adolescence counting the days until he could escape rural northwest New Jersey. Now at 26, he can't believe he's coming back. But his late father's bar, Haymakers, is in financial trouble and his older brother, Jake, has asked for Cooper's help.
Riley Smith, 25, is fresh out of her Ivy League MBA program and wants to make an impression on her employer, H & C Bank. Her first solo assignment is a fraud investigation on a business loan they made to Haymakers.
Even though Old Town is less than 90 minutes from New York City, Riley feels like she's stepped into another world in this remote, one-bar town. Riley can't wait to do her business and get back to the city as quickly as her sports car will take her...until she meets Cooper Wilde. He's not like the other guys in this rural town and Riley feels inexplicably attracted to him.
If you like your trucks loud, your beer cold and your men hot...you'll love WILDE RIDERS.
Release Date: February 11th 2014

I've noticed that for some reason the first book in most of the series that I read, I've rated 3 stars. And almost always, the following books are rated higher and the series gets better and better.
That is how I feel about Wilde Riders. It was good, not the best, but it did leave some interesting things open for following books. So interesting that I will be reading them.
So, New Jersey... not what I picture when I think small country town. I just have a hard time picturing cowboy boots and country boys in NJ. That being said, it worked.
I enjoyed the Wilde brothers and the way they interacted with each other. Of course, all siblings have their issues. Riley and her best friend were great too.
I enjoyed the story and the chemistry between Riley and Cooper was great. My only issue was the conflict. I really thought that the Riley's job and investigation would be the main conflict and was a little disappointed that it wasn't.
With all of that, though, I am interested in the all of the Wilde brothers' stories and will read on with this series.

FOUR WILDE BROTHERS...ONE WILDE COUNTRY BAND
Tucker Wilde joined the United States Army right out of high school and was injured in Iraq. But more than just his leg was shattered in the Middle East. The war also crushed his spirit and damaged his soul. When a strange couple arrives at his family’s bar, Haymakers, Tucker can see signs of mental and emotional abuse and is immediately drawn to the lovely but fragile girl seated at his bar.
Gracie Parker has been a victim of abuse her entire life. When her boyfriend, Dex, beats her in the parking lot of Haymakers and abandons her, it’s almost too much for the nineteen-year-old to bear. That is until Tucker appears like a warrior knight from the darkness to save her.
Tucker and Gracie are two broken people who are immediately drawn together. But their relationship and even their very lives are threatened by Dex who will stop at nothing to get Gracie back.
If you like your trucks loud, your beer cold and your men hot...you'll love THE WILDE ONE.
Release Date: April 10th 2014


So, I'm consistent... or predictable. Eh, whatever.
I was so wanting to read Tucker's story. I was hoping that his would be the last of the brothers' stories though. I think it would have drawn out his torment and self-loathing over his injury and brought more emotion into the story. That being said, there was enough emotion and torment with Gracie to pretty much carry throughout.
I have to admit that Tucker is my favorite. I think I have a thing for the "broken boys". I liked Gracie and Tucker together and I can see them being drawn together because of their "brokenness" and then being able to heal each other.
I just feel a little hollow with the whole Dex thing. Nothing else was said about it, but I would've liked to see a little justice for Gracie. Besides assault charges, how about kidnapping and rape?
As far as the series, I don't really know where its going. We don't know a whole lot about Hunter, so again, I am curious as to his story. Jake and Harley... *sigh* That is going to be a tough one. Unless Jake has some serious, and I mean serious issues, I don't know if he can be redeemed. Someone remind me I said that when I write the review for that one.
