Wilde Riders by Savannah Young is a 2014 Short on Time Books publication.  I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Riley lives in New York and is sick of the slick Wall Street type.  She is given the assignment of looking into a fraud case in rural New Jersey.  When she arrives in Old Town she is stunned by the contrast.  Old Town is like another planet compared to New York.Then Riley meets the Wilde Brothers.  Jake is the one that has been running The Haymaker, a bar owned by his late father.  This is object of the investigation, since The Haymaker has been in a little financial trouble.  Jake calls his brother Cooper who just so happens to be employeed on Wall Street for some advice and help.  Cooper had fled Old Town the very second he could.  He plans to be a millionaire before he is thirty,  he dresses fine, drives a BMW and has absolutely no desire to ever go back to rural New Jersey.  When Jake calls and Cooper hears the stress in his voice he reluctantly agrees to help him out.The bar was where the Wilde Riders country music band made it's home and Cooper loves playing music, but he is out of his brothers band  by choice, although Jake tries to lure him to The Haymaker's new stage for old times sake.When Cooper meets Riley he is instantly attracted to her and feels a compulsion to take care of her, even if it means protecting her from ladies man,  Jake , and from his other brother Tucker who is a war vet learning to live with a disability.  Riley has to spend a weekend in Old Town after her car is damaged and Cooper makes the most of that situation.  The mistake he makes is hiding his New York lifestyle from Riley after she confesses she is tired of the Wall Street crowd.With this first installment of the Old Town Contry Romance series,  the author introduces us to a motley group of brothers, each with their own set of issues and and personalities.  Cooper and Riley are the main focus of this story, but Jake gets a lot of coverage as well.  Jake and a local girl that had a massive crush on Cooper for the longest time are spending time together, but for Jake it's just a game.  Tucker is bitter and scares Riley a little bit.  Then, we have Hunter who is very quiet studious type.  I am really looking forward to reading each installment in this series.  Now that we have met everyone the real character  development can take place .  Being drawn to the war hero type I am especially looking forward to Tucker's story.Overall this is a nice start to the series.  This one gets a B or 3.5 stars ( rounded to 4)
