Man, can author Vivian Arend set the scene and oh yeah she can write sex scenes that will leave you hot and bothered or reaching for your partner. Rocky Ride is the first book in her Thompson & Son’s series and was released as part of an anthology, a bonus book Baby Be Mine was released this past winter, and the next book, One Sexy Ride is coming soon. A spin off of her Six Pack Ranch/Coleman family series this series is shaping up to be every bit as entertaining and satisfying in all ways!In this book sexy, bad boy Mitch Thompson is playing loose and fast with Anna Coleman (a member of the Moonshine Coleman family) and a RCMP officer. On the outside they appear to be a strange match but when they are together, they set every surface on fire with their passion. After months of sneaking around Mitch wants more and he’s not sure how Anna will react.I really do love it when in a romance book the hero is the one who wants more out of a relationship. So often times women are portrayed as wanting to “take the next step,” to “settle down,” to “cement the relationship.” So the fact that Mitch was the one wanting more was exciting and fun. What I loved that once he laid it all out for Anna she really didn’t shy away from his idea, she was open to it despite the fact that so many people in town feel the Thompson’s aren’t the best men. Anna even has a few moments where she realizes she saw Mitch’s tattoos and his bike and thought the worst of him and then she sets out to prove to everyone those assumptions are wrong.These two together are hotter than hot and I love how Mitch is very willing to live out every one of Anna’s fantasies even those she’s not completely sure about. However it’s the fact that he wants to do normal couple things with her that really makes a girl want to say “awwww.” Yes, underneath that bad boy persona is a sweet hero which of course only makes him more desirable.With Mitch’s reputation and Anna’s career things are bound to get a little messy and while I wanted to choke the person responsible for making them have doubts, I can help but smile when I think if Anna’s revenge. She is one smart lady and let’s just say the man who messed with them got what was coming to him in spades.Thoroughly enjoyable, extremely sexy with a side of erotic and plenty of dirty fun both on and off the track make Rocky Ride another hit from Vivian Arend and a fantastic start to this series!
