Ride (The Wild Sequence Book 1)

One of the best romance novels I've read in months, and I read a lot of romances. This was...this book was exciting. It was sexy. Told strictly from the heroine's POV, I was really able to sink in and enjoy the story - enjoy the ride. As a reader, I admired Brooke and understood all her decisions. She was likeable and didn't make me want to toss my Kindle at the wall.The tension, both emotional and physical, was out of this world. Chase makes it clear from the start he wants in her panties, but she's a smart and ambitious girl who is set on working with him. No matter how much she likes the way he rides, she knows being with him means settling for sex and nothing else.The push-pull between them is absolutely delicious. The setting is spectacular and memorable. Focusing on an extreme sport makes the scenes dynamic and so exciting. Everytime they took to the snow, they took my heart with them. The secondary characters were brilliant and not just plot fodder. The story kept me turning pages until there were no more left. And then I had a meltdown because I couldn't find anything else written by this author. Dear goodness, I hope she publishes something else soon. There aren't enough books that hold my attention like this one did.

Chase can ride the slopes like no one else but off the slopes he doesn't always get what he wants. Well at least not right away ;-) Brooke needs some serious convincing that he's worth the risk he may pose to herself and her career. When they do get together it's quite explosive, both between the sheets and out. But somehow they are going to have to learn to talk to each other.My overall gut reaction to this book is READ IT… possibly more than once. I got this as an ARC thru another author's newsletter. That said I will buy it, to show support for what I feel is an amazing story by a debut author. In fact it's hard to believe this is her first published work, the story is complex , but not overly long I finished it in a day. Most importantly, you can identify with all the characters not just the main characters and the story doesn't feel rushed.It's told from only Brooke's prospective, which when I started reading it I have to admit I was a bit disappointed. I'm soo used to getting both main character's prospective. At about 20%, I started to thinking that this wasn't a bad thing. It's probably the thing that makes this book. What I think I forgot is that we go through this world experiencing things based on our previous experiences. So Brooke's reactions to Chase feel honest and real. We get to watch Brooke grow emotionally and thru her see Chase's fight to get past his demons.

Flawless book. One gets so sick of these almost cookie cutter seeming romance novels but this one was so fresh and well written that it was a wonderful excursion away from the regular. Chase Austin - what to say about this man? Absolutely wonderful and dreamy from his glamor, sheer masculinity, moodiness, emotional isolation and oft misinterpreted signals. A lovely flawed strong human creature. Can't believe this is the author's first novel. I only hope she can continue to write such fresh breaths of air. Take a trip with Brooke and Chase from Switzerland to B.C to Miami, Mammoth and Jackson Hole. A strong recommend!

4.5-5 stars. This is quite the gem of a book. I’m not even a fan of snow and I’ve never tried snowboarding, but this book made me want to love snow and wish I knew how to snowboard. I loved the angst, sexual tension and relationship development. It also had the elements of my favorite kind of hero in Chase, too - broody, tense, impassive, emotionally closed off and acts like a jerk to protect himself. On the inside, he's tortured and wants to shield others from harm. Not to mention that he is the best of the best in his sport. As for Brooke, she was a great leading heroine - strong, independent, hardworking, determined, athletic, talented, and also emotionally closed off. She has no choice but to be a proactive go getter to get what she really wants. What a pair they make, especially when they can just stare at the snow together in silence. I felt everything between them and couldn't get enough of it. I also loved the secondary characters and look forward to reading about them, too.

What the hell did i just read!!?? WOW. So, I wasnt expecting this book. I don't know what I was expecting really. Just was hoping for the best. And that doesnt always happen when you crack open a new book and get stuck in it wondering if you could get your last few hours of your life back. This was a very good book. I read that it's the authors debut novel? I don't know, but I was very happy to have found this book, and fully expect to read more from this author. And if it is indeed her debut novel, then It can only get better. And I'm all about it.

I absolutely loved this book. I finished it in one go and have lost count of the amount of times ive read it now. I fell in love with Chase and Brooke right from the start.Thank you Harper Dallas for a great book.

Loved it ❤

Read this last year and loved it, read it again this week and LOVED IT EVEN MORE.

Couldn't put it down!

Kings, Kings, Kings - What a Ride.What a fantastic debut novel for Harper Dallas. I devoured it.When extreme sports star and adrenaline junkie Chase Austin meets action photographer and emotionally unavailable Brooke Larson they leave a lasting impression on each other and not altogether a great one. They both share a passion for the outdoors, the adrenaline and danger of extreme sports and quite possibly each other if they would let their guards down.A gripping read with all the emotions.I fell in love with each and every member of the FALSE KINGS. Looking forward to the rest of the series.Get it, read it, love it.
