Synopsis (Goodreads):

He’s the golden boy with a secret past

When Nicole Adams abruptly cancels their secret fling, Troy Thompson is stunned. The sex between them is sizzling, but she’s ready to move on—find a reliable guy, settle down, pop out a few babies. The thought of Nic in another man’s arms is maddening. And while her agenda freaks him out, Troy knows there’s no one in town nearly good enough for her. No one, that is, except him.

She’s his redemption and his future

Nicole doesn’t regret her sexual romp with Troy, but when he insists on taking the next step with her—marriage and parenthood—she figures he’s out of his mind. Troy? Husband and daddy material? Oh, he’s sexy beyond belief, with the ability to melt her panties with a single command, but the man’s not known for being responsible. Trying for forever with Mr. Frivolous? Everyone thinks it’s a fool’s game.

Everyone except Troy, who’s determined to make Nicole see the real him under the shiny exterior.

Thoughts on A Wild Ride: Aww. I felt for Troy. He's the peacemaker of the family who has the ability to become whoever someone needs him to be. And nobody sees HIM because he can change himself so easily. His easy going attitude hides plenty of depth and it was tough seeing him push down his own wants to make sure everyone else was taken care of.

Buuuuuut... Nicole wriggles through his defenses. She asks questions and gets to know the side of him most people--including his family--aren't even aware exists. The two of them were seriously cute together. And sexy. Because, you know, the sparks. They had them. In bed. In a closet. Wherever. They had them.

We got to revisit Tory's siblings and their significant others, which is always fun. We got to see Nicole stand strong against her family apathy towards her man. Plus, we got the smokin' sexy times. Which is always appreciated.

Basically, this was a great ending to the Thompson & Sons series. Big, strong men falling for strong, confident women make me happy. *slow thumbs up*
