WHIPLASH -- Andrea Cooper loves her job as a travel writer, being able to travel all over the world, stay at the best hotels, eat the best food. If she was ever to marry, she'd have to give it all up and that's something she'd never do. Oliver Maxwell, owner of Wild Ride Resort, specifically requests Andrea to do the cover story on his resort, certain she'll love it and give it an excellent review. Considered a playboy, Oliver isn't surprised to find a half-dressed woman in his kitchen, sure that one of his employees sent her to help him relieve some stress. As he's close to seducing the woman, he's shocked to learn that she's Andrea. After agreeing to start over, both Andrea and Oliver have a hard time keeping their hands off each other.

HOLD ON TIGHT -- Krista Ross is the director of entertainment for Wild Ride Resort, but scheduling country singer Travis Mackey instead of Jimmy Buffett for the Labor Day celebration was Oliver's idea. Krista can't stand country music, and to make matters worse, she has to move out of her home to give Travis the privacy he demands. Travis is really looking forward to some serious R&R after a bull riding accident left him scarred. A long concert tour at Wild Ride is just what he needs. When Krista suggests that she play his girl friend so women will leave him alone, neither one remotely anticipates that their situation would become real.

WORTH THE WAIT -- When Jenna and Cole agreed to take the vacation to Wild Ride Resort off Cole's sister's hands, they agreed they'd go their separate ways once they arrived. Jenna plans on keeping that agreement no matter how difficult it is, even though she's loved Cole since she was a little girl. Cole knows Jenna wouldn't have agreed to come on the vacation if she really knew how much the trip cost. He just wants the opportunity to be with her and tell her how he really feels about her. When things heat up, Jenna feels their relationship is all about sex and doesn't believe Cole when he says otherwise.

These three stories make one marvelous book. Though this collection is billed as erotic, in my opinion, it's not. I did find each novella to be romantic and the characters very sexy. I very highly recommend WILD RIDE for romantic reading.
