This review is from: Riding Wild (Wild Riders) (Paperback)
The last man Lily West ever expected to see again was Mac Canfield - especially coming out of the very museum she's been hired to test the security for, and especially not holding a priceless artifact he obviously just lifted from said museum!
She could certainly have never anticipated what happens next - Mac whisking her off on his Harley and kidnapping her to keep her quiet!
But all is not as it seems. Is Mac really a thief, or something much bigger going on here?
To say that Jaci Burton's upcoming Berkley release, Riding Wild is hot would be a complete understatement. Scalding, scorching, searing, blazing - even those words do not truly do it justice.
Even without the Harley and the leathers, Mac would be one of the sexiest Alphas around, but in them? Whew, he is simply devastating. It is no wonder that Lily has never forgotten this man, or that he gets to her so easily when he stumbles back into her life.
And Lily. Lily is a complete surprise to Mac as well. Gone is the young and naďve girl he first knew, and in her place is a woman more than capable of holding her own in any situation, whether in bed or in a gunfight. No real surprise seeing that this Alpha's desire for the lovely Lily is ramped up quite a bit upon seeing the way she's grown up.
Throughout the story, we find our couple thrown into one dangerous situation after another, depending on each other for survival, and finally learning to trust each other without reservation, despite the necessary secrets they keep from each other.
Riding Wild is a must-read for anyone who loves sexy romances filled with plenty of action and suspense.

Riding Wild, February 8, 2008
This review is from: Riding Wild (Wild Riders) (Paperback)
Private investigator Lily West is on assignment. Her client wants her
to check out the night security detail at a Chicago museum. While
watching the security guards talk in the lobby and not do their job,
Lily thinks back ten years, and the object of her daydream? Mac
Canfield. Hearing a Harley motorcycle on the street makes her think
back to when they were young and involved. No other man has ever made
her feel as he used to. Coming out of her revelry, Lily is dismayed
to see a motorcycle pull up to the back of the museum and a man
somehow jimmy the lock and get inside. Before she is able to call for
help and alert the museum's lax security guards, the man is back
outside with a priceless artifact. And he looks just like Mac Canfield!
Mac Canfield owes Grange Lee and the Wild Riders everything. Ten years
ago, he was on a path of self destruction where the only bright light
in his life was Lily West. On a dangerous assignment in Chicago, Mac
needs to steal a top-secret vial and turn it over to the government.
The coast is clear when he breaks into the museum; however, once
outside his past is staring him in the face and she is holding him at
gunpoint. Mac does the only thing that will keep them both safe. He
grabs Lily and drives hell bent for leather away from the museum. Now
all he has to do is convince Lily that he isn't the enemy without
blowing his cover.
If I didn't love a Harley man before, I most certainly do now. Mac
Canfield is my ideal for a tough, Harley riding alpha male. From the
top of his head to the bottom of his leather chaps, Mac is sin
incarnate. And I adored every molecule of him. His undercover work
aside, I felt he was loyal and downright sexy. He had never gotten
over Lily and I could tell with every emotion he used with her that he
still cared. Mac had never forgotten Lily and Lily for sure had never
forgotten Mac. No other man ever measured up to him in her eyes.
Every time Mac had to thwart Lily's questions concerning his
profession broke my heart because I know she wanted answers but I also
knew that Mac couldn't tell her for very good reasons.
Riding Wild is definitely one wild ride! From cover to cover I was
enthralled with the plot, the emotions, and the sensuality. Jaci
Burton's ability to write dominant bad boys makes me sweat. I have
one wish - I am craving in the worst way for the rest of the Wild
Riders to have their own stories. Might I volunteer the heroine Talia?
Riding Wild releases on February 5 - run, don't walk, and purchase
this phenomenal story.
Talia

Wild and Sizzling read!, July 13, 2008
This review is from: Riding Wild (Wild Riders) (Paperback)
Reading Jaci Burton's RIDING WILD was awesome. A quick summary of the book first, Lily West is a private investigator, former police who is doing work to evaluate security at a museum. Mac is her first love that left her ten years ago without any reason or meaning. Mac's a bad boy! He's had a difficult upbringing that Lily believes nothing has changed in 10 years. After she finds him breaking into a museum, she gets caught in the middle and Mac is forced to take her along with him.
Without having to give more details of the story, GO READ IT! The sexual tension between Mac and Lily steams off the pages from the very beginning when Lily recalls their relationship in the prior years. As Mac takes Lily on a wild ride (gosh, I so love heroes on motorcycles. Jaci does this fab!) trying to lose those who are following them and getting the stolen virus into safe hands. Mac is keeping details from Lily to protect himself and Lily will not give up and so hard tries not to fall for Mac again.
I was captivated to the pages of this book! As a reader, I was feeling I was in Lily's place so many times. This author Jaci Burton has a excellent writing voice that gives you so much visual and sensual connection that you will feel you are right there along with them. Gosh, I don't know how to say this any other way, but I was panting along with Lily. The suspense was so intense, so real, as their love was for each other, that you'll be visualizing it as a movie you are watching.
If you love sizzling romance suspense book this is the one to read. Days and months after I finished the book, scenes were still with me. I'm picturing scenes and feeling them just as intense when I was reading it. This is totally a keeper, and can't wait for Jesse's story in RIDING TEMPTATION!
