Boston, Massachusetts ~ Present Day

Lindsay Beckham’s life has changed a lot in the past few months as she’s become acquainted with her sisters. Quite a big change for a woman given up for adoption at birth! Meanwhile, she’s still running her bar, but hoping to expand. Not too far from her side is sexy bartender Denver Langston. Lindsay’s had fun daring her sisters (and others) to take risks. Well, now it’s her turn. Seduce a man she desires. But in doing so, does she risk exposing the truth about her past?

Denver seemingly had it all as a plastic surgeon until he defied his employer’s orders and then walked away. He’s spent the intervening months working for Lindsay, but now he’s wondering if he should move on…or stay put and work on a relationship with her. She keeps a part of herself hidden from everyone, yet he senses her vulnerability. One night, she approaches him with a sexy offer he can hardly refuse. She wants one night, but what if he wants more than she’s willing to give?

The character of Lindsay has come full circle in The Martini Dares series. Up to this point, she’s sat back and gloated as others have at first resisted their assigned dares, but then took them on with amazingly good results. When her sisters challenge Lindsay to try a taste of her own medicine, she’s shocked. Well, she does like Denver -- a lot -- but why risk ruining a good friendship for a night of hot sex? Denver appears hesitant at first, mainly because he doesn’t want to be someone’s one night stand. He wants more from Lindsay.

Intertwined with their worries about ruining a working relationship and friendship, MY WILDEST RIDE delves into Lindsay’s somewhat shocking past. I won’t go into details, but suffice to say she’s not a sweet angel. Author Isabel Sharpe does temper that impression later on, though the final revelations are not sugarcoated. For these reasons, MY WILDEST RIDE kept me enthralled as I wondered exactly who is the real Lindsay Beckham. Meanwhile, there are further revelations in this conclusion to The Martini Dares series involving Lindsay and her sisters. My advice for readers is to start with the first book in the series, beginning with MY SECRET LIFE, then continue until you finally read this one, as each story provides a bit of the puzzle of Lindsay Beckham. The sex sizzles, but it’s the suspense that will keep readers glued to the story.
