4.5 out of 5 starsI received a copy of this story for an honest review for Amber's Reading Room.From full length novels to quick novellas, everything I've had the opportunity to read and review of Jennifer James's I have enjoyed and readily recommended. I'm happy to report that Peyton's Ride is another solid addition to her writing resume. Take one sexy cougar unsure of how to put her claws into action, add one ridiculously hot pierced and tattooed mechanic who happens to be a supernatural powerhouse, mix in a mutual love of motorcycles and you get one hell of a ride.Peyton Reynolds is not feeling on top of her game. Betrayed by her cheating bastard of a husband and left as the sole the caretaker to a mother ravaged by Alzheimer's disease, Peyton's few moments of joy have come on the back of her old motorcycle. With her divorce finalized and her mother now passed, Peyton's determined to put herself first and embrace her love of the open road.Fae Ian Coghlan was cast out of the mythical Wild Hunt for his inability to find a mate. Hiding himself in middle of nowhere Georgia, Ian passes endless days selling and fixing bikes. He has always enjoyed Peyton's brief visits to the shop, but today her presence is different. Today that spark of interest Ian felt for Peyton ignites into a blazing inferno. When the Wild Hunt shows up at the shop, Ian knows it's no coincidence. Could Peyton be his missing mate? And if so, can he fight off his Fae brothers long enough to claim her?Peyton's Ride was so fun and uniquely interesting that I couldn't put it down, I burnt through the story in one quick sitting. Peyton and Ian manage to be super lovable and blush-inducing hot. Both had their own hurts but maintained their pride and sense of humor. I loved how each not so secretly checked each other out as they gradually made their mutual interest known. Once they connected, the amount of heat the two generated made me worry if my Kindle was going to start steaming.If there's any complaint about Peyton's Ride it's that I need more of the Wild Hunt... like right now. Fae mythology has always been interesting to me and James really sparked my interest with Peyton's Ride. If she revisits Peyton and Ian or expands on the other members of the Wild Hunt I will be on it in a heartbeat. So much sexy, fun potential.While I keep my fingers crossed, check out Peyton's Ride.Happy reading.
