They say you never forget your wedding day.Except, I never made it to the church. Instead of walking down the aisle to marry the man who has promised to love me forever, I’ve been kidnapped by a man from my past.I haven’t seen Hendrix Blake in over three years, and we didn’t end things on the best terms either. He thought I had betrayed him, so he left me behind, shattered and broken.Still, I … him, so he left me behind, shattered and broken.
Still, I haven’t forgotten a single thing about him, especially not his dark eyes or the way they always seemed to pierce straight to my soul.
Now, I’m locked inside a limousine with the criminal who once owned my heart, speeding down the highway, headed to who the hell knows where.
With no money, no phone, and no clothes, hundreds of miles from home, I find myself completely at Hendrix’s mercy, which is exactly where he wants me.
Thrill Ride is a standalone romance with a HEA.

Just like the title suggests, this book takes you on one heck of a Thrill Ride! Lane Hart is an amazing writer, and her standalones never disappoint. You won’t believe the twists and turns contained within these pages. Highly recommended, must read of 2019!
With a set of rules to live by, Hendrix has never wavered from them. But when the saucy waitress refuses to do a one and done with him, he finds himself completely ignoring them in favor of winning her over. Libby has a job to do but falling for the bad guy wasn’t a part of it. Lure him, entice him, and learn his secrets were what she was supposed to do but soon she’s in too deep and her life is changed forever due to her decisions.
This has an exciting beginning that takes place in the present before taking the reader back three years ago to when Libby and Hendrix first meet. I loved the chase that Libby took him on and the fact that he never thought twice about following. There was definitely a time or two that proved Hendrix was far from a nice guy but it also proved he would do anything for her.
When her secret comes to the surface, I was shocked at the things he did in reaction. Some of it really bothered me but at least part of it was later explained even though that action did not have the un-affect he thought it would. Returning to the present I expected him to still be carrying the need for revenge he had on that fateful night three years ago. Instead the roles were reversed and he was begging for forgiveness. I felt like they both had explanations as well as groveling to do.
This has a very strong beginning but did lose a bit of its shine when we are bounced back to the present. Nevertheless, this author set us up for a wild ride with some twists that I never saw coming. It’s got a fast pace that kept me engaged. The chemistry between Hendrix and Libby was hot and completely believable. Overall, I enjoyed it and would like to see more from Hendrix’s buddies Van and Sawyer.
Dual POV
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book through BookSprout. I absolutely loved this book. OMG! What a whirlwind of a ride! Hendricks and Libby were explosive and steamy that I couldn’t put this book down and gobbled it up in one sitting, you won’t be disappointed. Hendricks is hot, sexy and a criminal, but the man gets what he wants and when he sees Libby waitressing in his watering hole he can’t take his eyes off her and calls dibs, yes dibs, before his friends even have a chance. I never laughed so hard in my life when he said that. Libby is beautiful, sexy and won’t give him the time of day, she’s playing hard to get and he loves a challenge, but there’s more to Libby than meets the eye and if Hendricks knew the truth, he’d stay far, far away from her. He’s drawn to her in a way that he’s never been to anyone else and little by little he’s breaking down her walls, but she’s harboring a secret that could destroy them both and we all know that the truth always comes out one way or another. I’m leaving it at that, you will get nothing more from me, this book is outstanding, and a must read, one of my favorites so far this year. I was glued to the pages, and for me that says a lot, Lane Hart draws you in and you’re addicted to Hendricks and Libby and you want to know what happens, trust me you want to read this book! Phenomenal read and I highly recommend this book!
Slow burn 4 1/2 stars. – The pacing of the whole book was steady; never a dull moment. The only thing slow but burning was Hendrix & Libby’s courtship. Even though nothing was happening sexually for half of the book, the author was able to keep the story engaging. The chemistry between Hendrix & Libby was palpable. When they finally acted on the simmering attraction, all hell broke loose. The way the conflict was resolved at the end was a little too neat. But getting to the ending was one thrill ride! [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
Hendrix left 3 yrs ago, leaving Libby heart broken. She then started a relationship with her best friend Carter. The day of her wedding, Hendrix kidnaps her and takes her away to get her to confess that she still loves him. Love the ending!
Libby is a good girl and she is getting ready to marry a good guy. Only she doesn’t get to the wedding since she is kidnapped my the bad guy – Hendrix. They have a history, several years ago. There is still a strong attraction but Libby has a secret that may not have them working out at all. Can these two manage to get through all the drama and twists to have their HEA? Good short story with a few twists. Wished it would have been longer to add more to the story but very enjoyable

Wow! Thrill Ride is definitely a wild ride of emotions!! This is a brand new stand alone from Lane Hart, she writes stories that tug at your heartstrings and packed with emotion!! Bravo Lane!
3.5 stars.
Libby and Hendrix each have a secret that may ruin their chance at happiness. Libby is between a rock and a hard place. If she completes her mission, the person she loves the most will most likely die. If Hendrix doesn’t convince Libby that he’s a good man despite his way of life, he will lose her forever.
I loved how the story started but that ending was definely something else! Definitely not what I expected. I thought the romance happened super fast but even so it worked in its own way. My gripe with the story is that love triangles is my least favorite trope because regardless of how it ends, someone invariably is going to get hurt. Other than that this is a story for anyone looking for a fast-paced, exciting, bad-boy of sorts of read.
** I received this book at no cost to me and I volunteered to read it; this is my honest opinion and given without any influence by the author or publisher **
A thrilling ride! It is beautifully written with a well-developed, consistent, and engaging plot. It is a funny, witty, and emotionally deep fast pace page turner. A lot of exciting and interesting things happened in this book that had me turning the pages excited and eager to find out what came next. The characters are strong and likeable; the chemistry between them is instant, off the charts, and undeniable. It is a very exciting read and comes highly recommended.

Oh dear God… What can I do to have more time to read? How can I say no to another book from one of the authors that I simply adore…
Lane Hart has given me some of the best books of my entire life and each new book keeps stealing my heart piece by piece. Her writing is raw and intense, wild and hot, forbidden and dangerous…
Just grab one of her books and get ready to be amazed.
Thrill Ride is her latest release and tells the stories of Libby and Hendrix.
Libby was about to get married until a blast from the past appears…
Hendrix only had one goal. To grab Libby and make her pay…
Dayum… Just dayum… What am I going to do now that this book is over?
I’m stunned, speechless and freaking happy for the chance to read this book.
The plot was perfect, very well written, super engaging and intense. Dayum, one minute I was reading and thinking one thing and the next it all turned the complete opposite…
Reading this book was super similar to riding a bumpy rollercoaster… Way bumpy…
Let’s just say that these two are perfect for each other. When one pull the other push… For me is the perfect combination for an amazing story.
Love, loss, loyalty, betrayal and hot stuff makes this book even more addictive.
I’m speechless and I want more…
Please Lane… Will we have more? Can we have more? Please say yes…

This book is amazing. Ms. Hart can write a a heart pounding tale. Libby is all set to marry her forever man. She has picked up the pieces of her broken heart from her her ex Hendrix three years ago.
But Hendrix is not done with Libby and he takes her. This Storting was emotional , steamy and consuming. Dark and decadent bad boy reclaiming the good girl.
