I loved "Wilde Riders."It's got everything going for it - setting, characters, plot, dialogue, pacing.Savannah takes you by the hand from the very first line and doesn't let you go until you reach the end.This is the first in a series and it's a great start.Here are a few excerpts from the book to give you a taste:Cooper Wilde:"Being in a small town country band is fun when you’re a teenager but it doesn’t pay the bills and it certainly doesn’t pay for a Manhattan lifestyle. Not unless you’re really good, and really lucky…and the Wilde Riders were neither."Riley Smith:"Patti manages to fix me up with the worst guys in the city. I don’t know how she does it. They’re all Wall Street wannabes and the only things they talk about are their 6-Series BMWs and the first million they’re going to make before they turn thirty. Most of them are so impressed with themselves they’re actually offended that I don’t want to jump into bed with them on the first date."Cooper about Riley:"Ask me to figure out what’s wrong with another human being and you’ve got a problem. But I’m definitely attuned to Riley. It’s almost like I can read everything she’s thinking."I’m really starting to like having her hands on me. Maybe a little too much.Riley about Cooper:"Without thinking, I reach for his hand. I want it to be a comforting gesture but the moment I touch him and he looks into my eyes, my chest tightens and I can barely breathe.""When I look at Cooper again, his eyes have now filled with something else. Desire? I can feel my heartbeat quicken as I wonder what it would be like to kiss him."My favorite lines - Riley and her friend Tammy:She grins. “That’s why you’re my best friend.”“I’m your only friend,” I correct.“Best. Only. Semantics. I’ll see you tonight.”This book is a treat. Highly recommended.(I downloaded a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)
