Thrill Ride by Julie Ann Walker

Thrill Ride by Julie Ann Walker

Romances featuring members of the military and those featuring bad boys are big right now.  Julie Ann Walker puts them both together in her popular series.  The Black Knights are a covert government agency comprised of former members of the military using a custom motorcycle garage as their cover.  A member of the group, Rock, has been burned.  Richard “Rock” Babineaux is the best interrogator in the business and it looks like his side job may have been highly illegal.  The Knights don’t want to assume the worst, but things for Rock are looking bad.  Vanessa, the communications expert of the group, refuses to believe that the big Cajun is a rogue agent.  She is determined to find him and clear his good name.  And she does find her man, and that’s when the sparks fly.

This is the fourth entry in the Black Knights Inc. and while you don’t need to read them in order, you get an inkling of what you missed in the previous novels.  If you really enjoy one character you can always see which book they “star” in and read that one! 

Readers get inside the minds of both main characters and the inner dialogue and actual dialogue tends to be sarcastic and funny.  The series is steamy, but there is a lot of attention and care given to a twisty and engaging plot.  Fans of romantic suspense will find something to like here.
