A Wild Ride

Thompson & Sons, Book 5

By: Vivian Arend

Narrated by: Tatiana Sokolov

He's the golden boy with a secret past

When Nicole Adams abruptly cancels their secret fling, Troy Thompson is stunned. The sex between them is sizzling, but she's ready to move on - find a reliable guy, settle down, pop out a few babies. The thought of Nic in another man's arms is maddening. And while her agenda freaks him out, Troy knows there's no one in town nearly good enough for her. No one, that is, except him.

She's his redemption and his future

Nicole doesn't regret her sexual romp with Troy, but when he insists on taking the next step with her - marriage and parenthood - she figures he's out of his goddamned mind. Troy? Husband and daddy material? Oh, he's sexy beyond belief, with the ability to melt her panties with a single command, but the man's not known for being responsible. Trying for forever with Mr. Frivolous? Everyone thinks it's a fool's game.

Everyone except Troy, who's determined to make Nicole see the real him under the shiny exterior.

Amazing

Thompson & Sons

The Thompson & Sons Series is a must read. Vivian Arend captured each Thompson brother with a distinctive taste of romantic fantasy. I was unable to stop reading / listening.

Where is everyone?

I cannot believe that there are no reviews written for this smoking hot listen! The Thompson brothers are absolutely delicious in this installment. The publisher summary is enough of a revelation that I will not risk any*spoilers*

Tatyana Sokoloff narrates a majority of Vivian Arend's audiobooks. I like to speed it up a little bit and find it does not affect the performance. Sokoloff deserves the solid 4 stars I've given her.

Unfortunately, this is the last book in the series.

Coleman and Thompson’s = great series!

Highly recommend this series. The way the characters continue in the story line is great and the stories believable! Troy and Nichole are officially my favorite right with Mitch and Anna. I look forward to more books by this author!

awesome

what great ending to the Thompson son series. it was a great love story. loved that they had to step up and come to terms about their lives. This is a great series.

A Man Worth Keeping

Troy Thompson proves throughout that he is full of surprises, mostly because people underestimate him. I love how humble and quiet he is about things. It's unfortunate that he's given so much of himself and no one around him has noticed, but I love that his heart is in the right place.

I like that Nicole Adams slowly realizes that the guy she's been hooking up with is an enigma and not as straight forward as she thought. When she starts standing up to her family's barbs is when I started liking her.

I love how Troy pursues Nicole, putting the brakes on some of their fun times so they can focus on truly getting to know each other. Her frustration is hilarious. Her getting him to break is hot.

There are two scenes that I absolutely love. First, the babysitting and how he takes to it. Then there's the ending which is absolutely perfect for them. I was worried how this booty call to forever would play out, but I should've known better. 😘 Vivian has written yet another man that any woman, including me, should be happy to call hers. 🩵

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Tatiana Sokolov, who continues to do a wonderful job with these characters.

Great story!

I really enjoyed this one! I loved Troy and Nicole and watching them come together. Troy quickly figured out that he wanted a real shot with Nicole when she told him that she was ending what they had in order to find something serious and settle down. Troy definitely had to put some thought and work into convincing Nicole to give him a shot, that he could change and wasn't just a fun, impulsive, fancy free individual that couldn't be serious or want something serious. I loved as Troy opened himself up to Nicole to let her see the deeper side of things, the sides of himself that he had kept hidden and quiet. Nicole finally starting see the deeper sides of Troy and the different way that he cared for and helped his family and those around him. He didn't need to be obvious about it or get the credit, he just did what they needed. I was engaged with the story and these characters the whole time and really enjoyed it. It held my attention easily throughout and I was really rooting for Troy to end up with Nicole and for Nicole to realize that she didn't have to change too much in order to find the right person for her and to move forward with the next steps of life. This story was well written and a great read. I loved getting to see how the rest of the Thompsons were doing as well.
The narrator did a great job with this and adding that extra dynamic to the story to bring it to life.

Entertaining

Right from the very beginning I was drawn in to the story.
It had a lot of light moments to it but there was enough drama
to keep the storyline moving along .
The chemistry between the two main characters was very believable.
The narrator did a brilliant job of bringing all the characters alive.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this audiobook.
