“Flirty, dirty, and downright irresistable! Breezie Bennett’s books sizzle like a steamy Florida night!”– Kresley Cole, #1 New York Times Bestselling AuthorEASY RIDE – The South Florida Riders Series – Book 3Star quarterback Chase Kennedy has had everything — and every woman — he ever wanted. Except Whitney Cooper. She’s been his best friend since kindergarten and his soft place to fall when … best friend since kindergarten and his soft place to fall when life gets too hard. But when she comes to him for lessons in love, temperatures rise, clothes fall off, and it’s way too easy for their friendship to turn into something much sexier.
Chase:
I’m not gonna lie, I dig my position as the top scoring playboy on the South Florida Riders. As the biggest name on the team, huge wins, bright lights, and beautiful women have all come easy to me. Everything has…except Whitney. I don’t score with her. I’ve lived firmly in her friend zone since I could write my name. It works for us, since Nit Whit’s looking for a husband, home, and 2.5 kids…and I just want to bang my way to the next big game. But now she thinks she’s found the perfect guy and needs an assist in the sack. I’m happy to help, but the closer we get to a touchdown, the more serious this game is getting.
Whitney:
As an ER nurse, I’m no stranger to the human body. But when it comes to using that body in the bedroom, my resume is a little light. So when I meet a guy who fits every one of my strict critera for the husband I think I want, it only seems right to get some expert advice from my best friend. Because no one knows sex like Chase Kennedy. That might be the reason we’ve never been more than friends, and why this sexy little playdate has to be strictly educational. But with each lesson I learn about his favorite subject, I can feel myself falling for my teacher…and with Chase, that pretty much guarantees a broken heart.
The South Florida Riders Series:
Sexy rom coms that sizzle with sass. On this NFL team, you’ll find fake fiancees, single dads, buds-with-benefits, friends-to-lovers, and one smokeshow of a roommate. These guys score on and off the field and take your breath away with every play they make.

I honestly was kind of dreading reading Chase’s book because he was such a hound dog in the other books. I’m glad to say I was wrong, this book was hot and sweet and you can’t help but fall a little for him in it.
The playboy and the best friend. It’s been done before, but never quite like this. Chase and Whitney are breath of fresh air that blows it’s way into your heart. Easy Ride turns sweet temptation into addictive reading. Bennett keeps the laughs coming and the emotion flowing from beginning to end. With each book in the South Florida Riders series, I fall a little bit more in love.
Loved this fun, steamy friends to lovers romance! Chase and Whitney’s story has humor, steam, wonderful characters, drama, and kept me entertained. Enjoying this series and looking forward to the next book! Enjoying these hot football players!
Another touchdown for Breezie! Just love this series!
In this third book in the South Florida Riders series we get to read Chase’s story. While part of a series, you can read as a stand-alone, but it was nice to have familiar characters from the previous two books in this book, and I highly recommend you also go back and read the first two books, which were also very well written. Chase ( shallow quarterback) doesn’t believe in tying himself down to one person and has different women revolving in and out of his bedroom. Whitney is in search of finding her one true love to settle down and start a family. After her boyfriend of six years breaks up with her she turns to Chase, who has been her best friend since they were toddlers, to cry on his shoulder. Having only had one lover (and one she is beginning to realize was not that good), she is fearful of jumping back into the dating scene. Chase “offers” to teach her, which she laughs off. After meeting Peter she is fearful she won’t keep the attention of someone who fits all of the things she is looking for in her true love. Since he’ll be out of country for a month, she decides she needs to turns to Chase to help her. Loved how their feelings grow beyond just being best friends, and was curious as to what would happened once Peter came back to town. Loved it. You won’t be disappointed to read how the most unlikely of best friends become each other’s one true love.
*I received arc of Easy Ride from author Breezie Bennett*. I loved this book & am loving this series!! This is the third book in the series featuring Quarterback Chase & his best friend Whitney aka “Six & Nit Whit”. Whitney & Chase make an agreement to help each after she breaks up with her long time boyfriend of 6 years & his game is off. Whitney is the only one that truly knows him & loves him for who he is. You won’t want to put the book down when you follow their journey to their HEA. I highly recommend this book & series!!
ARC for honest review with no compensation
Easy Ride is book 3 in the South Florida Riders series by Breezie Bennett, a rising star author who draws you in from the first page and keeps you reading way past bed time…while a standalone reading in order give you so much background into the story.
Chase Kennedy, star quarterback who has it all…except the one woman who hold his heart, his best friend since kindergarten…Whitney Cooper. Their friendship has stood the test of time through his womanizing and her in a long term relationship but when her relationship tanks she turns to him for help with lessons in love which he is great at.
Can these best friends keep their hearts safe, stay in the friend zone while he teaches her the lessons in love or will they score the ultimate “touchdown” and find that their hearts belonged to each other a long time ago!!
When Whitney asks her best friend Chase to help her gain some more experience with men she never expected to fall in love. Perfect for fans of football and friends to lovers. Bennett has a new adult feel to her writing that will appeal to new and older readers alike.

Chase and Whitney’s best friends to lovers story in Easy Ride by Breezie Bennett, book three in her South Florida Riders series, was a wonderful, sexy, and enjoyable tale that scores another touchdown. Best friends since kindergarten, Chase and Whitney are perfect for each other and it was difficult to believe that they never thought romantically about each other prior to Whitney’s breakup. Ending the relationship with her boyfriend was the best thing Whitney could have done for herself. Asking Chase for sex lessons, hmmmm, might not have been her brightest idea, but understandable; go to the best for help. These “lessons” that Chase provides for Whitney shows that with the right partner, sex can be mind-blowing, emotional, explosive, and out of this world. As these lessons become more than just educational, Whitney and Chase start to wonder if their feelings are about more than just friendship; possibly soul mates, or “the one”, who knows the other best.
Ms. Bennett wrote a fun, flirty, sexy sports rom-com that should not be missed. She provided a tale rich with emotions, sexual chemistry, humor, wonderful dialogue, and endearing characters giving Chase and Whitney a chance to discover they were more than best friends, soul mates and were meant to have a future together. I highly recommend Easy Ride to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series.

Well, grab your ‘E’ ticket, my friends!!! You are in for a rollicking ride!!!
I mean, really? Where do I start with these two? The banter between besties-since-birth Chase and Whitney is so sharp and quick! I could not get enough. And then??? Chase proposes the deal of all deals, you know…just to help a friend out.
This book was filled to the brim with, well, with everything! All the feels. Some books I want to zip through in one read but Easy Ride? I thought I would zip but I found that I wanted to savor each paragraph and not miss anything in this fast paced emotion filled read. I was so hooked!
Our young author gets better with each book. Congratulations Breeze Bennett. You are going to soar!

I’ve really enjoyed the previous two books in this series and Easy Ride was another great addition to the South Florida Riders series. I always enjoy a best friend romance and this was a great story. Chase and Whitney who’ve been BFF’s since ‘Mommy and Me’, are all grown up now and still BFF’s but leading very different lives. I loved that they are still in each other’s lives and make time for each other. This story was great with Whitney asking Chase for help and in turn it helped them see each other in a different light and thus, deciding whether to take a chance and see if there’s ‘more’ between them. Of course it wouldn’t be smooth sailing for these two, but I really enjoyed the grand gesture by Chase at the hospital, that was definitely hero material right there. I also really enjoyed seeing what’s up with our previous couples that we’ve met along the way in this series and loved the updates. The way this ended at the Christmas party was perfect for these two. I saw a possible romance brewing between Whitney’s cousin and one of Chase’s teammates, I’m excited to see if anything comes of that. Another great story from Breezie Bennett.
Prepare to fan yourself from the first kiss or…. “First Down”. Breezie took the steam up over a 10 for me! For a bestfriends to HEA she also took a different spin than I have read in a while and TOUCH-DOWN!! Chase is pretty full of himself in the first 2 books but, in this one, she managed to give him believable vulnerabilities while keeping his swagger. We get to know why he is an “in the bed, out the door” kind of jock. I don’t think anyone but “Nit Whit” could be the one to get him to allow himself to believe in love. I love how Whitney is in a bit of a tailspin at first, but quickly gets back in line and on with her life. It isn’t long before she is back to a strong woman comfortable in her own skin. Their connection starting in Mommy & Me class is the sweetest thing. They are true friends and have been all through life, there for each other through thick and thin. They are laugh out loud funny with their banter. Add the sweet moments and you have a great story you can’t put down. Get ready to fall in love with “Nit Whit and Six”. All in all, grab this book and settle in for a great, best friends to HEA story with a bit of football, goofy friend stuff and sultry kisses to knock your socks off.
The South Florida Riders series gets better with each new release. OMG I wanted to get Chase Kennedy’s story since he first appeared on the page and have to say it was more than worth the wait! The best friends to lovers’ trope is a favorite of mine, and Ms. Bennett did an amazing job with Chase and Whitney’s story!
So Chase has pretty much been a man-whore since we first met him, so I knew it was going to be so much fun to have him finally find the right woman. The fact the right woman was Whitney Cooper, who also happened to be his best friends pretty much from birth made this story catnip for me. OMG I loved this story so hard!!!
I loved that Chase and Whitney can pretty much talk about anything and as with all best friends they told it like it was and picked on each other just a little bit. My favorite thing was they are always there for each other. I laughed so hard when Whitney asked Chase to give her lessons on how to be hotter in bed. I knew they were already perfect for each other and just knew once they took that next step, they would finally realize how much they loved each other beyond being friends. They had smoking hot chemistry and I fell in love with them as a couple even before they realized they were a couple.
Easy Ride is such a funny, emotional, and sexy romance. Much like with the other books in the South Florida Riders series of books, Easy Ride had me laughing, sighing, and even crying a couple of times. Breezie Bennett has become a must read author for me and I highly recommend her books to readers who love contemporary romances.
Rating: 5 Stars (A)

Another touchdown for Bennett!!!
I loved this book. Friends to lovers, which are always one of my favorites. Chase is that loveable, cocky playboy who is friends with the dependable E.R. nurse Whitney. They have been friends since almost diapers. Whitney went to every game until he got to the pros and she in a relationship. When it ends, she asks Chase to help her in the bedroom. Even with all the promises of no emotions, those little suckers slipped in. It is a great up and down, a few misunderstandings before the HEA. Another good, no great book from Breezie!!
I did receive this book as an ARC For my honest review.
How could you not love Chase? He is very cocky and doesn’t hold back when picking up a woman. He loves them all. But, there is Whitney. Whitney has been his friend since they were in diapers. She knows him better than anyone and she calls him on all of his crap. When she finally needs him to teach her a few things, he is sure his heart will never be involved. Whitney is sure that their friendship will never change. Never say never.
Book 3 in the South Florida Riders series is another touchdown! I am so loving this series big time! I think my favorite thing about this story with Chase and Whitney is that they have been best friends since diapers. It’s the kind of story that I love because these two people know each other inside and out. They know all the good and the bad and have stayed besties through it all. I seriously cannot get enough of this series. For an author only publishing her third book, she is a must read author for me.
Breezie Bennett is on a roll with her 3rd release, Easy Ride. Chase Kennedy is the quarterback for the South Florida Riders. Chase has been BFF’s with Whitney Cooper since they were both in diapers(literally). Chase has experienced some side effects from his parents divorcing, he does believe in love. He is also experiencing some issues his playing abilities. Chase thinks that if Whitney goes to the games again like she did in college that his luck will turn around. Chase offers to tutor Whitney in the ways of the bedroom. Whitney Cooper is an ER nurse in the same who recently experienced with her boyfriend of the last 6 years. Whitney feels that she is so inexperienced in the bedroom that she considers Chase’s odd proposal that he will teach her how to be hot between the sheets while she goes to all Riders games to be his good luck charm like their college days. Breezie is doing a great job developing her characters. Not only are they good looking but the are strong in character as well. The chemistry is palpable between Chase and Whitney. Let’s just say Chase knows his way around a football field as well as the bedroom. Will these two figure out if they want to remain friends only or have forever and their friendship? If you have liked her first two books and enjoyed them then you will enjoy Chase and Whitney’s story just as much. This is a fun story that I completely enjoyed escaping into. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Breezie Bennett is a new author but she can tell a story! I recommend this book. It is the third in the South Florida Riders series, but it stands alone.
If you read the earlier books in the series you know that quarterback Chase Kennedy is as shallow as they come. He is a man-whore of the first order. But when he wants a friend in his corner, he looks to Whitney Cooper. They have been friends since their Mommy & Me group long ago. They never looked at each other as a potential hook-up. But then Whitney wants Chase to teach her how to be wilder in bed. As you can imagine, that opens up all kinds of feelings they did not know they had and, in the case of Chase, that he KNEW he did not want.
Ms Bennett does a great job of taking Chase from man-whore to committed partner. Even though from the beginning you can be fairly certain this is where the book is going, the ride along the way is fun.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader copy of this book.
Easy Ride is the third book in the South Florida Rider Series and it is definitely up to the standard of Books 1 and 2. This is a story that is fun, sexy and moves smoothly with great dialogue. I couldn’t help but like Chase even though he was so cocky and full of himself about how “great” he was. Whitney was such a likeable heroine as well and gave as good as she got with Chase. She became a strong and confident woman as the story progressed which was fun to watch. This is a best friend to lovers story with a bit of a different twist on how this goes about happening. We also get to catch up on what the characters are doing from the previous two books and as usual Chase’s teammates add such LOL humor to the story. I thoroughly enjoyed Chase and Whitney’s journey to happy ever after. Easy Ride is another good one by this author.
Chase and Whitney had been best friends forever and they even went to college together. She cheered him on at his high school and college football games and he considered her his good luck charm. Whitney knew she could depend on Chase to always be there for her, so when her boyfriend broke up with her, he was there to comfort her and help her forget. Asking Chase to teach her the art of seduction was hard for her to do, but Whitney trusted him and she knew he wouldn’t force her to do anything until she was ready. Chase was very agreeable to helping Whitney because he definitely didn’t want some loser taking advantage of her. As Chase grew closer to Whitney, he realized that she may be the one. Not just as a friend, but as the woman of his dreams. Chase knew that waking up every morning with her was exactly what he wanted, because she saw the man inside of him, not the talented athlete or wealthy playboy. Those days are over, but Whitney wasn’t so sure. She only wanted Chase to teach her how to be desirable, so she could find the right man for her. Chase knew that he was the man for her, because one night with Whitney would never be enough.
