It has been a while since I’ve read a HOT ménage, but this book was SO much more than that.Lacey was working a dead end job and had a dead end boyfriend too. She was working double shifts and hiding some of her tips from her boyfriend in hopes of leaving someday soon to start on a new and better life. One day she went to her secret money stash and notice that it was all almost gone. She confronted her boyfriend and asked him where her money was and then proceeded to tell him that she wanted it all back. This is when he did it; he struck her in the face which knocked her into a wall and she bangs her head. Lacey immediately knows it time for her to leave before he can catch her. She runs out of the house with the rest of her money, jumps in her junk pile of a car and sets off for Texas.Just as she passes the border into Texas, her car dies. She pulls her suitcase out of the car, takes a seat on it and waits for a car to come by so she can hitch a ride. Not too long afterwards she spots a car coming. It pull over, but she gets a really bad vibe from the driver and realizes that there was NO WAY she was getting in the car with him. All of a sudden a sleek new red Mustang pulls up with two gorgeous guys in it. Of course they offer her a ride and she jumps in.I’m not going to go more into the story except that what happens shortly afterwards is a SCORCHING HOT SCENE. The scenes with Lacey, Nate and Riley were some of the HOTTEST scenes that I have read in a long time.Somewhere during their shared time, Nate and Lacey became more. OMG, Nate was SO PERFECT! He was so kind, considerate, caring, tender and very attentive towards Lacey. I swear I swooned over the way he treated her. I also LOVED Lacey, she was smart and never once did she expect that things were going to continue as they were. She knew Nate had money and it never crossed her mind to even try and get something out of him. They made an excellent couple and I definitely felt the connection between them.The ending was VERY GOOD, and left me sighing and smiling. The ending also included an epilogue that ended this novella in the best possible way.My overall thoughts on Wild Ride are that for a novella of only 112 pages, there was a full story with well developed characters. Yes, this book was a ménage and it was extremely steamy, but it also turned out to be a tender love story too. I find myself hoping that Juliette Jones has plans to write a book or two from some of the secondary characters that were in this book. I would DEFINITELY read them! It seems I have found myself another fantastic must read author...LUCKY ME!
