4*
Jessa made sure that Chance walked in on her and frost but were things as they seem? He’s a champion snow boarder she wants to be a physiotherapist can dreams really come true?
I’ve been desperate for this book since the introduction of chance & Jessica at the start of the series and it definitely didn’t disappoint a tale of love, secrets, an emotional must read.
I’m now anxiously awaiting “In too Deep” for Tammy and Nick’s story.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
Wow! Seriously, this book was so not what I expected, it was so much more! Jessa is this amazing woman, strong, beautiful, and broken. Chance is hot as hades, angry, lonely and broken. They loved each other once, they were magic, life was great. Until it wasn’t. I love this book so hard! Rebecca Sharpe writes with all the feels, and I felt everything. This love story will make you believe in love, second chances and that sometimes broken is just bent. An amazing read that must be added to your TBR!
Rebecca Sharp has done it again. Enjoy the Ride is as angsty, heartbreaking and steamy as the previous installments in the series. I could not put this book down. My heart went out for the characters. I rooted for them, almost cried for them, squealed and giggled when something cute or romantic happened. I just loved this book so much and would give it more than 5 stars if I could.
This is my first story by Dr. Rebecca Sharp, and I am wondering where I have been!
Enjoy the Ride is part of the Winter Games series, however it can be read as a standalone.
This is the story of Jessa and Chance. High school sweethearts, everything was sunshine and snowflakes.
For Jessa, I could feel her being overwhelmed by Chance’s very being. He was larger than life. He was ruthless in his pursuit of her and she had plans and dreams of her own.
Chance was the definition of Pride. He felt like he was ten feet tall and bulletproof. He wanted Jessa, and Jessa he would have.
Jessa has to do something drastic. And drastic measures she took to make sure her and Chance’s dreams become a reality. And in doing so, broke her heart and her soul. She runs for her dream.
Flash forward eight years and she is back in Chance’s orbit. He has revenge on his mind, anger and hurt in his soul.
I reveled in Chance’s alphahole-ness (is that a word?!? If not, it should be). I also swooned at his soft side. I admired Jessa’s spirit, her fight and her struggle to keep things professional between her and Chance.
Their chemistry is electric and the smexy times where meltingly hot!
I cannot wait to read more of Dr. Sharp! I am so glad to have had the chance to read her!
I really enjoyed this book, having not yet the last 2 books in the series I will have to go and read them to learn more, having said that this can be read as a standalone book. The characters are complex amazing emotional and expressed so well it’s a captivating read with such real life experiences. A beautiful second chance story about how time and decisions made while young can travel with you for life. This book so well written and took you on an adventure where you felt you were there for the ride. A well deserved 5 star read. Highly recommended.
I have been excitedly waiting for Enjoy the Ride for a while and this book does not disappoint. We have met both of these characters in the previous books and I could not wait to see how Pride would fall for his girl J-bird.
Enjoy the Ride takes the reader on a rollercoaster of feels as you follow the story of Chance and his ex-high school sweetheart Jessa. This couple have to wade through ten years of misunderstandings, hurt-feelings, emotional damage and heartbreak to even be in the same room let alone move forward. Problem is their chemistry is just as explosive as the day they separated. That said I loved this story all the more as I saw Jessa and Chance gather each other’s broken pieces and try to make them fit their own.
It always amazes me how much Rebecca Sharp manages to squeeze into her books. Enjoy the Ride definately earns its name and is fast paced, non stop action or feelings from the start to the final page.
Enjoy the Ride is part of a series and while it could be read as a stand alone it is best read in order. That way you will have gotten to know Chance and Jessa a bit first before being thrown in head first. The other books are amazing too so trust me it is no chore.
I would highly recommend this book and all books in this series for anyone looking for a good contemporary romance mixed with drama and sports. I can’t wait for Nick’s book In Too Deep
What a emotional rollar coaster ride and I loved it!
Wow! This is my first book I have read by Dr. Rebecca Sharp. I need to start this series from the beginning! I loved Enjoy the Ride! Chance was thrilling and has a smart mouth on him. Jessa shows strength as she has to face the past. Presently, the two have a whole lot of sparks flying! I love the competitiveness and the romance factor sprinkled here and there. I would recommend this great Winter story to keep you nice and toasty on your favorite sitting area!
Let me start by saying that I hadn’t read the previous two books so I was coming in blind. And, for most of the story it didn’t really matter.
There were a few places I noted it would have been beneficial, however, it was easy to overlook as this story was absolutely amazing.
Where to start?
Oh!
Can we please take a moment to appreciate that cover… yum!
From the beginning I could tell this was going to be a bumpy ride, full of anticipation and suspense. I was not disappointed.
The push and pull of the characters reeled me in and had me wondering who would through the next punch.
Who would break first?
“Sometimes, dear, there is beauty in the breaking.”
And oh, how beautiful it was…
When they finally give in to what was there all along it was explosive. It was raw. It was intense. It. Was. Epic.
Betrayal, lust, hope, love and forgiveness were just some of the things this book touched on.
There were parts that made me laugh out loud and parts that had me pulling my hair out.
I wanted to cry, I wanted to smile, I wanted to jump into the book and smack some heads together.
But, at the end of all this there was a very, very sweet ending that made the ride so worthwhile.
Enjoy the ride.
I sure did.

I absolutely loved enjoy the ride! Its about second chances but with twists. It kept me on the edge and couldn’t put my kindle down! I definitely recommend this book!
It was a great read!! I didn’t know about this series until I read this book and now I want to read all the others. Specially the next one coming because Frost and Tammy desperately need something to go right in their lives.
This story is great because it has steamy moments, some issues to resolve and some fun included in it. When they were younger, Jessa and Chance were consumed by each other. And even when that is not a bad thing, they were to young and overwhelmed to know how to handle a future, how to communicate better. Now, life has pushed them both down to the point of braking them. The rage Chance is feeling is making him want to break Jessa some more. But they will realize that together there is no more breaking. Together they become home to each other. They heal. They complete each other.
I really enjoyed this story. It kept me reading until the very end. The story line was believable. I recommend this book to everyone who wants a good live story that leaves you with the warm and fuzzies.
