Drive Me Wild

Riggs Brothers Book 1

By: Julie Kriss

Narrated by: Joe Arden, Erin Mallon

A bad boy. A good girl. A second chance that could send them both up in flames.

Emily was a cop's daughter, and I was the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. At 18, our affair was wild and completely secret until she left town for college and a better life, and I hit the road to nowhere.

Eight years later, we're both back in town. My father is in prison; Emily is selflessly helping her sister. We should be farther apart than we've ever been. But I've never been able to resist temptation, especially when that temptation is Emily.

I shouldn't go near her. But I do.

She shouldn't say yes. But she does.

Our chemistry is hotter than ever, but she's hiding something from me. Just like I'm hiding something from her. It's hard to tell whose secrets are more dangerous, until it all goes to hell.

I can save her, and she can save me. But we'll have to break the rules.

We're from different worlds. We don't belong together.

But in the end, Emily and I are going to have to get dirty.

Wild about this series !!

I have listened to all four of the brothers books and I loved them all. Each was unique and the brothers rebuilding their Familia bond from book to book as they fell in love, overcame the stigma of their youth, dealt with some shady biz... and built new futures for themselves was a real treat. The love couple wasn't the only relationship I was invested in. I wanted to move on to the next story to see what was coming at the brothers next, if it would lead them home and if Dex would stop being a insensitive jerk lol !! I am moving these to my Fav's folder and will definitely be listening to them again !! Arden and Mallon were Fab as always !!

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! After listening to this story,. I totally enjoyed reading this book. It’s well written and the characters were uniquely fantastic. I would suggest this book to my friends that like this sort of genera. this was a good book. The narrator was great.

Got addicted to the Riggs Brothers!

Julie Kriss is a new to me author, but I can see myself already becoming addicted to her words! However, Erin Mallon and Joe Arden are absolutely not new to me and happen to be some of my favorite narrators! I could listen to them read the phone book and I’d be just fine.

Now, I did end up thoroughly loving these characters. However, Emily, our heroine, takes some warming up to. The way she treats Luke, our hero, in the beginning doesn’t win herself over to anyone. She’s the daughter of the most respected cop in town and he is the son of one of most disliked men in town.

When they both end up back in their hometown at the same time years later, of course sparks are going to fly between the two.

What I really loved in the story was Julie Kriss being able to show these character’s growth. Even when the story takes place years later when they’re back in their hometown, Julie still has these characters learning about themselves and what they want.

Drive Me Wild has absolutely wetted my appetite for the rest of the Riggs Brothers.

Luke 😍

Audiobook review. 3.5 Stars. I fell for Luke right away. He was the boy from the wrong side of the tracks with a huge heart. Emily was an acquired taste for me. There were things about her treatment of Luke that made me upset. She seemed to have experienced some growth but not as much as I would’ve liked.

The plot was interesting and I found myself wondering how it would all work out. I enjoyed the role of the secondary characters as they added another layer of complexity. I’m looking forward to getting to know them as I progress in the series.

The narrators, Joe Arden and Erin Mallon, did a fantastic job with their portrayal of Luke and Emily. Their pace, tone, and pitch were complementary and executed well. Erin has some of the best transitions I’ve heard.

Complementary copy received and voluntarily reviewed.

Addicting read!

Such a great read! From the very beginning I was captivated and the characters were awesome! One just never knows where they’ll end up or with who for that matter. And I must say that I’m completely intrigued with the Riggs brothers. Luke was swoon-worthy and I’m looking forward to check out The other brothers stories!

Such an enjoyable read!

I couldn’t listen to this book fast enough! I was completely consumed by Emily and Luke. Luke was the bad boy she shouldn’t want. But these two just clicked. Their chemistry was intense and after having been apart for years, they had to learn who they were as adults. The attraction was still there and their relationship evolved. I was cheering them on.

Very good book

I love listening to first time audiobook authors. Really good book and I’m looking forward to more from Julie. Thank you Erin Mallon for introducing me to Julie. The narration was great as well. Thanks for the book

Amazing start to a series!!

What happens when the good girl falls for the bad boy?? Fireworks, that’s what happens! This book introduced me to a new author that I will surely read more of. I really enjoyed this story and how it all played out. There were some moments when I wanted to shake Emily and Luke for their stubbornness but OMG, the chemistry between them was undeniable!
Their lives couldn’t have been more different but somehow these two lost souls were able to find their way.
Drive Me Wild had a bit of everything, longing, regret, doubt, smokin hot scenes, and finally a hard won love, but watching it all come together was great!! This is a book that I highly recommend and will definitely be passing along to my friends! Plus the narrators did a great job bringing this story to life!

4.5 Second Chance Stars!

I was so captivated by this second chance at love story! Eight years ago, Emily Parker had a secret passionate affair with the town bad boy, Luke Riggs. Her mom was a cop and his dad loved to break the law. Luke and his brothers couldn't catch a break because of that. When Emily left for college, she took Lukes heart with her. When Emily needs to return home to help her family, she can't help but feel that she and Luke have unfinished business. As Emily's family falls apart and secrets are revealed, she turns to Luke for comfort. Emily makes Luke want to be a better man. But Luke's father has left a legacy that could take Luke down, and take the love that has grown between Luke and Emily as well. This was a moving and passionate story of growth, loyalty, family, and love. Joe Arden, and Erin Mallon's narration was so flawless as they brought these flawed characters and their story to life. They portrayed their raw emotions with a perfect balance of strength, passion, and vulnerability. I loved this romance and couldn't stop listening. Even tho this is a quick listen, Luke has 3 brothers who also have to deal with the fallout from the legacy their father left behind. They are all so intriguing, I am excited to find out more about the rest of the Riggs Brothers!

Looking for a quick and sexy read? Look no further

This was a fun and fast paced NA romance. Emily comes back to town to help out her sister only to find her family is a mess; Nothing is like it used to be. She never intended to come back but here she is. Then life throws her a curve ball and brings the boy she lost her virginity to back into her life. She hasn't seen or spoken to him in almost a decade. One thing leads to another and it's like no time has passed. Except that she's still keeping him a secret like before. But this time the stakes are higher. Her mom, who is a cop, is investigating Luke's family. Things heat up and then s**t goes down. I wasn't sure how everything would come together in the end!

This is the first book in the Riggs Brothers novels by Julie Kriss and my first time reading one of her books. I received an audiobook in exchange for a review. I liked the narrators and I am interested to read the other brothers books. Julie did a good job of pulling you into the storyline quickly and keeping me listening. I read the whole thing in a day.
