Can she snag the promotion she … his brand with a fake fiancee? Can she snag the promotion she desperately wants? Sure. If he can keep it in his pants and she can resist taking the ride of her life. Fall in love with Leo and Frankie as their romance slides from fake to forever.
Leo:
I guess I’m in trouble for real now. At least that’s what my agent says. He says the South Florida Riders fans need to believe I’m more than just a cocky, wide receiver who throws Benjamins at strippers and breaks a lot of hearts.
His brilliant plan to fix my image is to hook the perfect woman on my arm and convince the world I’m engaged to her. Only problem is, I definitely don’t have the perfect woman. As my agent puts it, I’ve been ‘too busy banging my way through NFL groupies to get serious.’ He’s not wrong.
But then he decides to hire his intriguing and annoyingly hot assistant to play the part…and all of a sudden, his ideas don’t seem so dumb.
Frankie:
I know you, Leo Sterling. I know your type. I can predict your every move, on and off the field. And I want absolutely as little to do with you as possible.
I’m well aware that working for a sports agent will be a pain in the ass and that my dream of eventually becoming an agent myself will put me in very close quarters with unfathomably arrogant athletes like Leo. It’s par for the course with my career path, one I chose so that I can stay as close as possible to the only true love of my life — football.
So, when my boss tells me I have to be fake engaged to this particularly infuriating and sexy player to keep my job, I have no choice. And it doesn’t exactly suck. Having a little weak

What an amazing debut novel by Breezie Bennett!! This is not your typical fake fiancee, sports romance. She has given us a fresh take on two people thrown together for business, who became friends and found that love doesn’t always stay on the sidelines. I loved Frankie and Leo from the moment they met and I enjoyed following their journey as she fought her feelings for him, while he knew from the beginning that she was someone special who he didn’t know he was looking for.
I was captivated by the witty banter between Frankie and Leo, their positive attitudes and their undying devotion to football. Frankie took one for the team by agreeing to be Leo’s fake fiancee, and she easily embraced the role of his betrothed. She brought out Leo’s fun and carefree side and she helped him see the little things in life that he had overlooked. Leo was never cocky and arrogant with Frankie and he gladly opened his home to her and her beloved dog. I loved everything about “Wild Ride” and I am looking forward to the next book in the series, “Slow Ride”, which features Leo’s teammate, Elliott.
I had the privilege of receiving and reading an ARC of Wild Ride, Breezie Bennett’s debut novel for an honest review. It was truly a pleasure to read Wild Ride. It was a page turner and I could not put it down. It was an amazing story for a debut novel! Who doesn’t love sexy football players. Love the cover photo! Breezie Bennett proved that she is an amazing storyteller. I love the story and the characters. I really enjoyed how the story is written in the first person and that different chapters are from the perspective of either Leo or Frankie. Of course, as a Pittsburgh girl, I loved all the references to the Steelers and Pittsburgh. Wild Ride is the story of Leo Sterling, womanizer and wide receiver for the South Florida Riders and Frankie Monroe, wannabe sports agent. Leo’s sport agent, Ryan Kingsley, thinks Leo needs to find a fake fiance for the season. Leo needs to neutralize the bad publicity he recently endured when a video of him receiving a lap dance at his best friend’s bachelor party goes viral . Frankie, Ryan’s assistant, happens to walk into Ryan’s office as he makes this suggestion to Leo. Frankie hopes that by agreeing to be Leo’s fake fiance, she’ll move more quickly up the ladder and get promoted to a sports agent. Frankie will continue to receiver her salary as Leo’s fake fiance. Leo agrees because he feels that he is too young for a committed relationship. Frankie has sworn herself off of athlete’s after her athlete college sweetheart broke her heart, but agrees because of the potential promotion. Frankie, has little crush on Leo. Frankie moves into Leo’s home and sleeps in the guest room with her pit bull Tebow! I love all the jokes that makes in reference to the dog’s name. I love how the relationship between Leo and Frankie grew into friendship and then more than friends. Love the super hot love scenes between Leo and Frankie and the moments that they shared their pasts and celebrated their firsts. I love the bittersweet moments that Leo and Frankie share. Then the surprise plot twist, that has the potential to shatter their happily ever after. It was a wonderful plot twist and I did not see it coming or who would be the cause of the plot twist. I loved Leo’s reaction when he got home following the plot twist, it was so bittersweet and heartbreaking. I highly recommend, Wild Ride and I am looking forward to Slow Ride.
