SHE'S TAKING A WALK ON HIS WILD SIDE
Emma Rush can't remember a time when she didn't have a thing for Ryan Blake. Haven's resident bad boy is just so freakin' hot-with tattoos, a motorcycle, and enough rough-around-the-edges sexiness to melt all her self-control. Now that Emma's over being a "good girl," she needs a little help being naughty . . . and she knows just where to start.
Before Emma's brother enlisted in the military, he made Ryan promise that he would protect her from everything--including himself. When her brother doesn't come home, Ryan needs to turn his screwed-up life around to honor his pledge. But he knows he's still not the right kind of guy for someone as sweet as Emma. Only he can't stop wanting to be with her. Wanting her. Falling in love with a good girl may be the craziest risk this bad boy can take . .

Whoa.
Emma closed her eyes and let out a shriek as Ryan guided the motorcycle onto
Main Street and picked up speed. The cold wind whipped her face, taking her
breath away. Beneath her, the engine rumbled and roared like a wild thing. Holy
sh*t. She was on the back of Ryan Blake’s bike, and it was amazing.
The wind bit through her
thin, knit gloves, hitting her fingers with an icy blast. Actually, every part
of her was freezing, but she didn’t care. She wrapped her arms more firmly
around Ryan’s waist, anchoring herself to him so she didn’t tumble off the back
of the bike, and somehow her hands slipped beneath his jacket. Ahh. That was
better. Toasty warm, and also…her hands were on his T-shirt. Even through her
gloves, she felt the hard contour of his abs, and nope, she wasn’t cold now.
And this was absolutely
freaking amazing.
She hung on tight as he
guided them over Haven’s twisting mountain roads, deserted at this hour.
Overhead the moon shone like a beacon, illuminating the night in its soft,
silvery glow. The roar of the engine and the slap of the wind against her face shocked
her senses. It was thrilling, invigorating, so completely different from riding
inside a car.
She’d never have done this
if Mandy hadn’t dared her, and now she felt like her eyes were open for the
first time in years. This was what she needed. Somewhere along the way, as she
sat at the bar talking to Ryan, she’d realized she was having fun, really
having fun. And she wanted more. She wanted it all, every last wild and crazy
fantasy.
All too soon, her building
came into view. Ryan cut the engine and guided them quietly into the driveway,
coming to a stop behind her silver Toyota RAV4. He turned his head to look at
her, so sexy in his helmet and riding glasses. “So how was it?”
“Even better than I
thought it would be.” She gulped for air. His lips were way too close to hers,
and she was still a little bit drunk on beer and a whole lot drunk on her first
motorcycle ride. Mandy’s words echoed in her ears. Bonus points if you kiss
him. Just stand up a bit, lean over his shoulder, and…
Emma leaned forward, her
chest sliding up his back as she tipped her face to his. Holy hell, she had
completely lost her mind, but she was going for it. Every nerve in her body
went haywire.
Clunk. Her helmet smacked
into his, drawing her up an inch short of his lips.

You know that taking a walk on the wild side by having a fling with the former bad you had a crush on for years is not going to go the way you plan. This is exactly what happens when Emma decides that Ryan is the perfect guy to fool around with, especially since she plans to leave town in a few months. Ryan on the other hand is no longer the bad boy of his youth and he promised Emma's late brother he would look after her and never touch her. They actually have a really fun and sweet relationship with lots of heat between them. They've both had extremely hard and sad moments in their lives, but that somehow makes them perfect for each other. They hit a few bumps on the road, mainly due to Ryan's stubbornness, but it all works out in the end. I love the circle of friends and can't wait for Mark's story - loved the sneak peek at the end of this book!
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
I loved writing all the fun, adventurous things Ryan and Emma did
together in CRAZY FOR YOU – rock climbing, cliff jumping, motorcycle rides,
etc. They were so much fun to write, and it was the perfect balance to some of the
heavier themes in the book. These two characters really bring out the best in
each other, constantly pushing each other out of their comfort zones.
If you had a theme song, what would it be?
Dream On by Aerosmith – “Dream until your dreams come true!”
Name one thing you won’t leave home without.
Name one thing you won’t leave home without.
Chapstick! I have a weird obsession with it.
If you could have dinner with any three
authors (alive or dead), who would you choose and why?
First, JK Rowling because she is a literary
genius and a fierce feminist, and I’d love to chat with her about anything and
everything. Next, Mary Higgins Clark because she was my very first “favorite
author,” and I’d love to thank her for that. And of course Nora Roberts because
she is my hero and gives great advice. All three of these ladies have inspired
me so much, and I would love to just soak up all the knowledge they could
impart.
What are your favorite types of stories to
read?
My favorite books make me laugh *and* cry. I
want ALL THE FEELS while I’m reading!
Rachel Lacey is a
contemporary romance author and semi-reformed travel junkie. She's been climbed

Reef, and camped out overnight in New York City for a chance to be an extra in
a movie. These days, the majority of her adventures take place on the pages of
the books she writes. She lives in warm and sunny North Carolina with her
husband, son, and a variety of rescue pets.
