Ridin' Wild
Jenna Hayes is holding out for the ideal guy—a man capable of checking all the right boxes. Her best friend thinks she’s picky, but Jenna’s just selective. Rather than carelessly throwing herself into relationships, she practices a more calculated approach.
Except, she never factored in an encounter with a biker who kisses better than anyone she’s ever met.
Maverick is a Wild Stallion and far from Jenna’s type. While she can’t deny he’s easy on the eyes, to even consider him an option seems outrageous. He’s in a notorious motorcycle club—which, among many things, means he’s an outlaw. But he’s also got a way of challenging how she thinks, causing her to wonder if she hasn’t found the one because she’s more close-minded than she realizes.
There’s no way their chemistry is sustainable, but a date with someone new might not be a bad idea. She can live one night on the wild side.
Or so she thinks.

The first 50% of this was a 2 star simply because I HATED the heroine. She was annoying and judgmental and I just couldn’t stand her. I really wanted the hero to find someone better for him
The second half was much better because she pretty much completely changed
I loved maverick thought the whole book tho

ARC REVIEW
I was sent a copy in exchange for an honest review
NO SPOILERS:
This book took me a minute to get into. It was quick but it still took a few chapters. As it was my first book by this author, I needed to get used to the writing.
I was excited to read a book surrounding around motorcycles since I have a few and ride.
-Jenna and Maverick come from two different worlds. Jenna is a ER nurse and Maverick is a member of the Stallions Motorcycle Club. Jenna has a checklist of traits she wants in her relationship and wants them ALL checked off. No exceptions.
Maverick has spent that last two decades partying at the clubhouse, getting his fill when he needed and wanted. Now he wants no more “sheep�. He is thinking that maybe it’s time to find someone “classy� for him to bring home to his gran. He sets his eyes on Jenna. One look at Maverick, Jenna knows he’s not her type and he would never check off any boxes. She is not interested in his dangerous lifestyle.
Once I got into the book, I was hooked. I literally did not want to stop reading it.
There were things I liked and things I disliked.
- I am a sucker for dual POV and believe this is one of the best ways to go about romance books. However, I did not like that Mavericks POV was in third person. I would have preferred it to be in first person like Jenna’s POV. To me, this made no sense. I still enjoyed his POV nonetheless.
I do wish there was more internal monologue from Mav.
🛑🛑 SOME SPOILERS!
-Speaking of Maverick (MMC), he was literally the SWEETEST. Ugh I loved his character. The hair ties was so freaking cute.
-Jenna only wanting friends with benefits and him being rejected broke my heart for him.

I really enjoyed Maverick and Jenna’s story!
I had a hard time putting it down, but I loved finishing work and coming home to pick it back up.
Jenna and Maverick’s journey is filled with angst, push and pull, vulnerability and acceptance.
The chemistry these two had could be felt from the very first kiss with how they got lost in each other.
They both come from different worlds but one thing is for sure, Maverick wanted Jenna. He didn’t care if she didn’t fit into his world, he accepted her for who she was and just wanted to spend time with her. Jenna was a little more hesitant, she had a checklist of what she wanted in life and a vision of how she wanted her life to go and Maverick didn’t fit into it.
Maverick challenged Jenna in a way she ended up being grateful for. She had to rethink her own beliefs and behaviour and throw her check list out the window. Especially when Maverick is the one that always turns up for her.
These two were highly entertaining, I loved when Maverick showed his vulnerability and how Jenna changed her thinking on things. They compromise and make it work the best they can while loving each other hard.
It definitely has me interested in the rest of the series.
This book is spicy, i personally skimmed some of those scenes because I didn’t think some of it contributed to their overall connection or story. That’s just me though.
If you love spicy MC romances this is definitely a must read.
I can’t wait to find out who is getting their story next.
Thank you to Annie Winston for allowing me to ARC read.

Title: Ridin Wild by Annie Winston
Series: Book 1 of Wild Stallion Motorcycle Club
Release Date: Jan. 28, 2025
Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 4 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Adorable Banter Moments: 3 😏😏😏
Tissues Moments: 2 🤧🤧
Favorite Tropes: Cute Banter, “Where’d you go?�, Dual POV, Biker, Morally Grey MMC, He Falls First, Slight Miscommunication
ER Nurse Jenna was looking for her perfect man. Until her best friend drags her to the bar to meet the wild stallion crew, & she’s faced with the dilemma of either changing her dream or going after the one man who will never fit in her box.
Maverick is a morally grey mororcycle club leader, desperate to have a steady relationship like his close friend. Then his best friend’s girl brings the most stubborn beauty he’d ever seen, Jenna, and all he can imagine is a future that leaves his kutte folded and her in his arms.
Only one question remains, do you tame a wild stallion or do you enjoy the reckless ride?
Final Thoughts: I’m a bit speechless over how much I love this book. It truly hooked me in! It is realistic and relatable in every aspect, especially with learning how to trust and learn that sometimes what’s best for us doesn’t always fit in the boxes we created. I loved how they both grew in the book to provide for one another in the end (*spoiler I’ll reveal after release*). Honestly, just trust me and read the book for yourself!

Omg! LOVED this book. I was so hooked that I finished this book in less than 24 hours.
I loved how the complexity of the characters was conveyed. The dual POV was a perfect blend of overlap so that you get recaps of the characters living their separate lives and the feelings that are sparked when they are together. Major compliments to the author for blending this seamlessly so that it never felt redundant.
The plot progression was right on par in my opinion. It never felt rushed or dull. The action within the story made it very lively. I will say that I had a harder time keeping track of all of the names, however, given that I read this book as a standalone it makes sense.
I’ll definitely be looking for other Annie Winston books!

4.5 rounded up
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Let me start by saying that I did not know how much I was going to LOVE a MC romance. That said, I could not get enough of this book!
Maverick was everything and then some when it came to his brothers and the woman he deemed his girl. Jenna was into her boxes (IYKYK) and I loved that she finally let go of her idea of perfect so that she could actually have her perfect.
The only reason that this is not a 5-star read for me is because I can’t get past that Jenna called Maverick Honey. It gave me the ick every single time. It was just not manly enough for Mav. I wish she called him babe or baby or even handsome but definitely not honey.
Overall, this was a SPICY motorcycle club romance that just fit perfectly into everything I imagined it was going to be.

I wanted more Maverick! I understand he is a broody MMC in a motorcycle club and has a lot of hidden baggage, but I wanted to hear more of him! I wasn’t the most enthused about switching for 1st person to 3rd person between the characters. Overall, this was a solid story throughout and had me rooting for Jenna and Maverick to have everything together. They were exactly what they needed without knowing it!

🌶️🌶️
It’s been a while since I’ve read an MC romance and this book has reignited my interest to read more.
I loved Jenna and Maverick’s story. It was filled with push and pull, angst, vulnerability which eventually lead to acceptance of who each other is, where they are at, and how they fit together ♥️
I loved that this was 2 people from very different worlds that came together. I appreciated that while Maverick was sure of their relationship and not concerned about how they would fit in each others worlds, Jenna was hesitant about starting anything with Maverick because he didn’t fit her checklist of “the perfect guy�. It’s a good message to remember that you can’t judge someone from their outer appearance or how they look on paper. You really need to get to know the person to be able to judge their character.
This book honestly had everything: romance, friendship, found family, spice, with some action and suspense and a decent amount of character growth. And how can you not be a sucker for a hot badass biker who had the sweetest heart. Seriously I was swooning over him fiercely throughout this book ♥️
Thank you to @annie.winston_author and @torchlitink I’m excited to see which MC brother gets a book next!

Who doesn't love a duel pov, who are from different type of worlds. So we have Jenna and Maverick,
Maverick is a sweet amazing guy, who a mechanic and in a biker club and Jenna is an ER nurse. The chemistry i felt was so good had my swooning over the main characters I can't wait to read more.

YES MAVERICK 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I could just leave the review at that because it’s all you should need to know to read this book. I ate this book up right from the start.
We met Jenna and Maverick briefly in Thornhill road so we knew the sparks were flying.
After their first kiss, Jenna tries to push Maverick away claiming they aren’t right for each other so it will never work. Maverick however has other plans, to open up and show Jenna he isn’t just a bad boy biker.
I loved Maverick’s vulnerability straight from the first date. He laid his cards on the table and showed her who he was. He is a genuinely good person who fiercely protects the ones he loves. He has no interest in messing around or drama, he also had no issue holding the mirror up to Jenna’s face so she could see all sides of herself, beautiful and ugly.
Jenna undergoes a big transformation in her mindset and what’s important for her future. I love that she stopped checking boxes and started looking at peoples values. You really can’t judge a book by its cover and it was such a valuable lesson for her. I loved her sassiness and admired her amazing character growth.
Maverick was unexpectedly a closet romantic. He paid attention and small little gestures he makes are so swoon worthy. I would get on the back of his bike any time…or in his bed, really anywhere he wants to go I’m down.

I would recommend that you read the book ‘Thornhill road� first, before reading this book, it’s not really necessary if you don’t want to but the main characters of this story (Jenna & Maverick) appear as secondary characters in ‘Thornhill road�. Jenna is best friend with the main character Tess and Maverick is friends with Sullivan, who’s also part of the Wild Stallion MC. So in my eyes ‘Thornhill Road� is also part of this series. I consider it a prequel.
In this story we meet 32 year old Jenna and 37 year old Maverick. Jenna is an ER nurse and Maverick a mechanic. Jenna is looking for the perfect man. It’s not that Jenna is a snob or woman with high standards. No, she just has an image of the perfect guy in her head and it’s hard to settle for less. When Jenna and Maverick meet at a bar, they have a great time, there’s a connection between them, but the night ends not so good. The second time they meet is at the hospital where Jenna works. And although Maverick is far from Jenna’s ideal man, he convinces her, in his own way, to go out with him. Just like before, they have a great time but Jenna and Maverick’s lifestyle is very different. Maverick is part of the Wild Stallion MC, a lifestyle that Jenna struggles with. But the attraction between them is big and with each meeting Jenna has to let go of more and more of her beliefs about how the ‘perfect� man should behave. She slowly comes to the conclusion that the wrong guy in her head might be the perfect guy for her in real life. Not someone perfect, but someone perfect for her! Someone who isn’t afraid to challenge her and her ideas about life and love. Maverick waited a long time before settling down, but he sees a future together with Jenna. He just has to convince her of that.
‘Ridin� Wild� is a great start of a new MC series. In the story you get both POV’s. I liked both characters. There was suspense in the story, which was to be expected in a MC story, but there were no big dramas, nothing dark. I think this is the ideal story if you want to try a MC story, but nothing dark. The MC guys were loyal, supportive and good friends. They accepted both Jenna and Tess without any problems into their group. It was great to see Tess and Sully again.
Maverick was a good guy, he knew what he wanted, he never forced Jenna to do anything but he did challenge her and her ideas in his own way. He was raised by his grandmother and had a good relationship with her. He cared deeply for his grandmother. His grandmother was a nice and funny lady. I liked her very much.
I really enjoyed this story and I look forward to the next story in this series.

Thank you to Torch Lit Ink, Untapped Publications, and Annie Winston for an Advanced Reader's Copy of this title!
Emergency nurse Jenna Hayes has a checklist and sticks to it when it comes to matters of the heart - just like at work, she's thorough, detailed, and assured when deciding what she wants in a relationship. Wild Stallion "Maverick" certainly doesn't fit into her neat boxes, but to her surprise, he challenges the way she thinks, makes her laugh, and is certainly easy on the eyes (and has her swooning from their first kiss). Can Jenna learn to let go walk on the wild side, or will Maverick the Wild Stallion trample her heart and her desire to change when the realities of life as a biker come riding into Jenna's consciousness?
I haven't read a ton of motorcycle romances before, but I had a good time with this one! I think being accused of being "picky" when dating is something a lot of people can relate to - ESPECIALLY in this era of online dating - but I appreciate that Jenna sticks to her morals, even as she's learning where she's comfortable giving and taking. Maverick certainly acts and has the vocabulary one might expect of a motor cycle club member, and Jenna's difficulty accepting that the object of her interest has a certain lifestyle which includes but is not limited to illegal activities feels authentic. Her struggle to accept who and what Maverick is, and learning to accept him as he is was also endearing, and I think could be a nice reflection for those who struggle with judging a book by its colors (or being judged thusly). I believe there is a novella preceding this work about some side characters and more to come in this MC, and I will likely return to Montana to ride again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely loved this book! It had everything from a captivating plot and sizzling chemistry.
Jenna is strait-laced with a clear idea of what her ideal partner should be, but bad boy biker Maverick checks none of her boxes. Despite that, their connection is undeniable, proving that sometimes the opposite of what you think you want is exactly what you need.
❤️“A man who would show up for me when I needed him most was the kind of man I wanted checked boxes be damned“❤�

Jenna Hayes is holding out for the ideal guy a man capable of checking all the right boxes. Her best friend thinks she’s picky, but Jenna’s just selective. Rather than carelessly throwing herself into relationships, she practices a more calculated approach.
Except, she never factored in an encounter with a biker who kisses better than anyone she’s ever met.
Maverick is a Wild Stallion and far from Jenna’s type. While she can’t deny he’s easy on the eyes, to even consider him an option seems outrageous. He’s in a notorious motorcycle club which, among many things, means he’s an outlaw. But he’s also got a way of challenging how she thinks, causing her to wonder if she hasn’t found the one because she’s more close-minded than she realizes.
There’s no way their chemistry is sustainable, but a date with someone new might not be a bad idea. She can live one night on the wild side.
Or so she thinks.

*ARC Review*
Once I started reading this book I had a hard time putting it down. This is a classic opposites attract story - Jenna is an ER nurse with Mr. Right on the brain. Maverick is a rough and tumble mechanic in the Wild Stallions MC really just looking for a good time.
I really enjoyed their chemistry from the beginning - the flirtatiousness and then that scorching hot kiss 🥵 Jenna tried to ignore their connection and downplay and Maverick called her out every damn time. “So, you kiss like a f’n goddess, but really you’re a self-righteous barbie.� I respected that Maverick was himself and never pretended to be anything he wasn’t.
I loved seeing the growth in Jenna throughout the book - she realized that simply trying to check boxes to find Mr. Right wasn’t working and she wasn’t allowing herself to be open to other experiences. When she did let down her walls, she quickly found out that Maverick did check a lot of her boxes, and a lot of boxes she didn’t know she needed checked. She was tenacious and never lost her sassiness and I really enjoyed that about her.
Maverick was such a cinnamon roll. Seeing him melt for Jenna had me giddy. He always told it like it was and didn’t sugar coat it. I loved how protective he was for those he cared about and his relationship with his Gran was the cutest. He had me cracking up with they things he said and his whole attitude. I just loved him.
This was my first read of Annie’s, but I will definitely be picking up book two whenever it comes out!
Thank you for the ARC! 🖤

Annie is a new to me author and I was not familiar with her writing style. She writes in dual-ish POV so the FMC is 1st person and the MMC is 3rd person. This is her story not his and his pov is an added sprinkle.
I’m not a fan of 3rd person but guys it works! The story made sense and flowed and I loved it.
Here we follow Jenna ,33, (foxy) an ER nurse as she has a met cute with Maverick and things just don’t end as they should. Jenna has been hurt in the past and has now come up with a checklist system to prevent this from happening again; but she soon realizes this system does not work.
Insert Maverick, 37, (Mav, Kade Daughtry) he’s has plans to show Jenna that he is not just a biker boy. He doesn’t say a lot but the words he uses are powerful! He was vulnerable and put all his cards on the table.
I love the growth within Jenna and how she sees her future. I also love how much Mav pays attention to the small details that truly matter and is not afraid to call Jenna out on the good and bad.

Jenna Hayes has always played it safe—until a chance encounter with Maverick, a ruggedly irresistible biker from the Wild Stallions Motorcycle Club, flips her world upside down. He’s everything she shouldn’t want� but everything she can’t resist. Can a night on the wild side lead to the happily-ever-after Jenna never knew she needed?
📓 Tropes you’ll love:�
� Morally gray hero�
� Motorcycle romance�
� He falls first 🥵�
� Found family vibes�
� Strangers to lovers
� Open-door spice 🌶�
This is my first ever motorcycle club book and it did not disappoint. Maverick is HOT and the chemistry between him and Jenna sizzles off the page. Even though he’s often monosyllabic, direct, and a man of few words, he’s often much more open minded and self-aware than Jenna. He knows what he wants, goes after it, and doesn’t care who knows it. Everything that Jenna is not. I loved it when he gently, but bluntly, called her out on her BS and the moment when she finally gave in to her feelings was magic. If this book is what the author’s MC books are like, I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

book review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
�
“Even after I’d shown him the ugliest parts of myself, he still saw more� enough to want me anyway.�
�
Ridin� Wild by Annie Winston was exactly as it sounds, a wild ride. I was lucky enough to receive this as an ARC for my unbiased, honest review and I will say that this book grew on me.
�
Initially, I had a bit of an issue with understanding the writing. By this I mean, it is dual POV, but Jenna’s pov is in first person and Maverick’s is in third person. I have never encountered this in a book before, so it did throw me for a loop until I read enough that I expected it. However, I do think if you dislike third person POV, this may not be the book for you.
�
Another thing that I kind of disliked in the beginning was Jenna’s character, but only because of certain aspects that might be spoilers, so I won’t tell you exactly what, but I will say she (Jenna the character) made up for it as the book went on.
�
I really enjoyed the plot of this, specifically surrounding the motorcycle club because it felt refreshing to read something where violence is given when justified rather than as the first knee jerk reaction. I loved watching their relationship blossom and become what each other needed, and the spice? Hot as hell.

If you love:

Rating: 4 stars
I liked seeing both of the main characters realizing what they really want from life and discovering true love. Jenna had a list with a lot of criteria a potential dating candidate had to fulfill, but her assumptions about Prince Charming and the blueprint she had in mind are changing when she get to know Maverick better. She learns the softer and more vulnerable side of the MC biker, a sthey become friends. Will they be more?
I've read Annie Winston's explanation for the 1st/3rd POV switching (about women being the main focus of the stories) and I have to say, I'm warming up to this idea. even though I will still remain dual 1st POV girlie at heart.
What I didn't like though was the OM/OW drama. Some of it was essential to the story, so I guess I can look past it, but some felt redundant.
It is a bit surprising that Tess and Mustang's story was past of a different series and not the Stallions one, but I am looking forward to reading next installments and already have my guesses who will be the next main characters.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

If you've read Thornhill Road, you've already met Jenna & Maverick & you are in for a real treat.
AW takes us on a sweet and spicy ride - not without a few bumps along the way for this unlikely couple.
Straight-laced Jenna has an idea of what the her ideal partner is like & bad boy biker Maverick ticks none of those boxes, but their chemistry is off the charts and sometimes what you really need is the exact opposite of what you think you want.
Maverick is what biker dreams are made of - I love everything about this character from his protective vibes, stolen hair ties, and epic rose deliveries to his tattoos.
Favourite quote:"Babe, I'm gonna lay it out. I'm into you. Have been for a while now. Not much I wouldn't do to keep you on my arm. But Im no knight in shining armor. If you decided you were into me because you put on some rose-colored glasses, I'm gonna need you to take those fuckers off."
A must read for fans of morally grey bikers and the women who steal their hearts.

Maverick didnt care that Jenna didn't fit into his world. He liked her for who she was and once she caught his eye, he couldn't let her go. Jenna on the other hand didnt want no part of him, she wanted somebody who checked all her boxes and thought Maverick didnt fit into her life. Finally Jenna saw things through a different light & realized Maverick checked those boxes & so much more.

This is my first book by Annie Winston and I have to say this was such an enjoyable read! This is my first motorcycle club book and all I can imagine was Sons of Anarchy and it was great!
I rate this book 4 ⭐️ 2.5 🌶�
If you love: strangers to lovers, opposites attract, he falls first, found family, Motorcycle club, and morally grey mmc then you may like Ridin' Wild.
What I love:
I do love opposites and attract and seeing Jenna (ER Nurse) and Maverick (a mechanic who is also a part of at the Wild Stallions MC) interact and progress in their relationship had me invested in this couple.
I absolutely loved Maverick- he was possessive, had that bad boy edge to him but yet so vulnerable and romantic when it came to Jenna. I literally swooned. (
Jenna- was the right amount of sassy and that is exactly the women Maverick needs. She did have character growth esp the way she immediately judges others- I'm glad that she learned to be open and accept others.
I'm excited to see how this series goes! This was a good read.

Maverick has joined my official book boyfriend list 😍🔥
Do you love a morally grey man, who falls first? If so this one is for you. I always enjoy a MCC Romance, especially as a biker myself and this one didn’t disappoint.
I was engrossed in reading Jenna and Mav’s story so much, that at 3am on a ‘school� night I had to force myself to put the book down and get some sleep. The struggles were relatable and real.
Jenna is an ER nurse with a very specific set of criteria for what her ideal man needs to have and has been accused of being picky in the past. Maverick couldn’t be further from the dream guy Jenna has been picturing. He’s a Wild Stallion, an outlaw biker and her polar opposite. But when a gorgeous man who gives you the best kiss of your life and challenges your way of thinking comes striding into your life after a chance encounter would you give him a chance??
Thank you Annie and @torchlitink for the arc read. And for giving me the opportunity to give an honest review
Ps� I couldn’t stop picturing Roman Reigns when thinking of Maverick 🖤

Omg what a book!! I was hooked from the first page and devoured the book, it was that good I couldn’t put it down!!
I absolutely loved this book! The characters, the storyline, the spice, the MC! It had it all!
I loved all the twist and turns in the book, I was swooning over some parts and on the edge of my seat in others.
I loved the vulnerability maverick showed throughout the book from the start and showed Jenna who he was, and wasn’t afraid to tell Jenna how he really felt and showed her all sides of herself in the mirror.
Jenna, I loved Jenna and her sassy attitude! Throughout the book you see a massive change in how she sees people and stops judging people by their cover and the check boxes and starts accepting them for who they are.
Maverick is definitely your next book boyfriend! I think I need one for myself!! Thank you Annie Winston for giving me the opportunity to read and review this awesome book, I can’t wait for book 2

With any book, you have the chance that it is a grand hit, mediocre, or a flop. MC romances are ones that, in my opinion can go south fast. You need a gritty, hardened MMC and typically you need a FMC that compliments him but isn’t meek and under spoken. MC romances are my favorite, there’s just something about the way a biker talks that gives me that feeling. Maverick is literally the embodiment of the type of MC MMC that I will devour in one sitting. He is the perfect mix of masculinity, possessiveness, virility, but he also shows his vulnerable and tender side when he is with Jenna. Honestly, I think he is up there with my favorite, Deuce.
Jenna couldn’t be further out of Maverick’s world but she’s strong. She’s capable of handling a headstrong biker and loving him the way that he wants and needs. I love that she didn’t immediately pawn off her problems onto Maverick and the club, she tries to handle her stuff separately.
Spice is always something that needs to hit in an MC romance. MC romances are known for virile bikers. The chemistry between Maverick and Jenna was *top tier*. I don’t want to read a closed-door MC romance. The MMC is dark and gritty, give me that detailed gritty, often spice. I think it was perfect.

This was my first by this author, and my first biker romance and it did not disappoint!
It took me a few chapters to truly get engaged with the writing but once I was, I absolutely inhaled this book. I love dual POV, but was not the biggest fan of the shift from first person to third person, but I will say that I did get used to it. I will say that I absolutely loved Maverick... it took some time for me to warm up to Jenna but Maverick had an absolute heart of gold and did not have a single issue with showing that! The way he showed up for Jenna even after she insulted him made me swoon - what a true gentleman.
I utterly adored all of the angst, the back and forth, and the eventual vulnerability and pure acceptance. I love the growth that Jenna showed, and her friendship with her best friend was such a sweet one!

This was my first book by Annie Winston, and it definitely won’t be my last! If you’re a fan of Sons of Anarchy and love a steamy, action-packed romance with a rugged motorcycle club backdrop, Ridin� Wild is a must-read. The story follows Jenna, a dedicated ER nurse, and Maverick, a fierce yet swoon-worthy member of the Wild Stallions motorcycle club.
I’ll admit, at first, I wasn’t sure how I felt about Jenna’s actions regarding her feelings for Maverick. Her hesitation and internal struggles had me wanting to scream in frustration! But once she finally let down her walls and embraced what was right in front of her, I found myself completely invested in their love story. Watching their connection unfold made me fall hard for these characters.
And don’t even get me started on Maverick—he’s the definition of adorable yet badass! Seriously, OMG the hair ties! If you know, you know. Swoon-worthy doesn’t even begin to cover it!

Thank you for the opportunity to ARC read this book.
This was my first book by Annie, and I was not disappointed, I loved the story the bikers and how they roll. Annie clearly did a lot of research.
This is book one in the series and follows Maverick and Jenna. He sees her and decides she must be his. He can see from the first moment they meet that she is different from everyone he’s met before.
Jenna is an ER nurse and only goes to the motorcycle club to support and meet her best friend’s man, Mustang. She finds herself enjoying Maverick’s company but not liking how dark this club can be.
I loved how Maverick couldn’t leave her alone and was always there for her, even when she pushed him away. It took Jenna a long time to realise her true feelings. I don’t want to spoil too much as the story is just so wonderful!
I can’t wait to read the next in the series!

I can’t wait to read the next in the series!

4.5/5⭐️
Jenna meets Maverick through her best friend, Tessa, at Steel Mustang, a biker bar. The meet-cute unfortunately did not end well but it leads Maverick to change his mind about love. Jenna is unlike any other woman he has known but to Jenna, Maverick does not conform to what she wants in a man, as he is part of an MC.
Despite their mutual attraction, Jenna initially struggles to accept Maverick as they belong to different worlds. Right from the start though, he is honest to the core and Jenna never has to doubt his feelings.
I liked how any disagreements or misunderstandings they had were always cleared up quickly. Above it all, regardless of how upset Maverick was, Jenna’s safety is topmost priority to him. And allowing Jenna to feel safe and stay true to her values, is what I loved most about Maverick.

Open-door spice
Annie Winston's Ridin' WIld was a trilling ride packed full of sizzling chemestry, witty banter, and some irresistable bad boy charm! This story follows Jenna, a sharp-tongued and independent ER nurse with a carefully crafted checklist for her perfect partner. Enter Maverick, a rugged biker who throws her rules and checklist out the window. From their first meeting, the tension between these two leaps off the page, making their journey both addictive and deeply satisfying.
Told through dual POVs, I loved how seamlessly their perspectives meshed. Getting inside both Jenna and Maverick’s heads added depth to their characters and enriched the story, making their connection feel even more real.
The Wild Stallions MC setting added a thrilling edge, with a mix of danger and camaraderie that enhances the story’s intensity. This is a perfect read for fans of motorcycle club romances and opposites-attract love stories. Annie Winston has crafted a fast-paced, emotional, and heart-pounding ride you won’t want to put down!
Thank you to Tortch link and Annie Winston for the opportunity to ARC read Ridin Wild, I'm excited to see what comes next in the Wild Stallions world.

Ridin' Wild is the first book in the Wild Stallion Motorcycle Club series! I wasn't sure what to expect when I first started, but it was an amazing start to this series. Annie Winston hit this out of the park and I definitely reccomend looking into her other books too!!
Jenna is super selective about who she allows to be in a relationship with her. She doesn't see herself as picky when finding a man, but they just need to check the right boxes. Then she happens to meet Maverick who is apart of the Wild Stallion Motorcycle Club. Maverick seems to challenge everything that she has thought about including her unchecked boxes for the perfect man. She decides to go on one date since they have some chemistry anc what could one date hurt. These two are complete opposites, but were absolutely perfect for each other.
