Let It Ride (Thompson & Sons #3)
by Vivian Arend
Blurb:
He’s her rock in the midst of the storm
When
Maggie Ward’s world is torn apart by sudden tragedy, the only thing that makes
her days bearable is Clay Thompson’s unwavering presence. He’s protective,
caring, and everything she could ask for in a friend. But when she finds
herself longing for more than friendship, it will take a little seduction to
convince the stubborn mechanic she’s ready to start living again.
She’s
his heart, whether he knows it or not
Clay
Thompson’s got the taking-care-of-others business down pat, only he’s never
faced this particular challenge before—the one woman he’s always wanted is
unexpectedly his to care for. Suddenly it’s not just responsibility driving
him, but a wild desire to make Maggie truly his. But following his heart might
mean sacrificing the family he’s held together for years.

Review:
Returning to the land of passionate cowboys
and dangerous sexy mechanics, Let it Ride is the story of the head of the
Thompson clan, the resident mechanics and friends of the Coleman family (stars
of the Six Pack Ranch series by Arend also). If you haven't read the Six Pack
Ranch series yet you will still enjoy the Thompson boys and their sister and
seeing them all fall in love. The family
has been through a lot but no one has felt the sadness more than oldest boy
Clay as he kept his family together through tragedy, neglect, and ultimate
loss. I have been waiting for his story
a while now, but didn't realize it would bring so many tears to my eyes and
make me wonder where I could find a man like him all for my own. He and Maggie were so sweet together, but
seeing them fall in love, giving Maggie a second chance at love and a continued
chance to live life to the fullest, was what really made this story so
great. I cannot wait for the last story
in the series, Troy's, and of course I always look forward to the continuation
of the six-pack ranch series that is another favorite of mine by Vivian.
Let
It Ride was one of those stories that could have gone so wrong, a story of two
people coming together to celebrate life and deal with the loss of someone they
both loved. As they lean on one another
in their grief, Clay and Maggie begin to realize that something more could
easily come from their feelings. Clay
fought himself so much to try to keep his passion for Maggie from becoming
obvious, giving her the love and support of a friend as she heals. But Maggie isn't as willing to give up the emotions
that he brings out in her. Even though
they know that others may not understand their connection, Maggie and Clay are
determined not to allow anyone to come between them and when passion turns to
love there is nothing that could keep them apart. Overcoming small town gossip, their own
fears, and the loss of their loved one, Clay and Maggie find the one thing we
all strive to find--love-- and there is no way that I could ever deny
that. Even though I cried my eyes out
for a good bit of the story, the love, laughter, and passion between Maggie and
Clay was enough to fill my heart and remind me why I love this author so
much. Whatever comes next, I know I will
love it and I think you will too.
