About this listen

Small town mechanic Gage Jenick has been waiting for this moment ever since his best friend's little sister transformed from annoying tagalong to desirable woman. When sweet Katy Thompson kicks her boyfriend to the curb, Gage makes his move. In spite of an assignment that will take him completely off the grid for five long months, he steals her away for one night of steamy passion with the promise of more in the future.

When a freak accident on a storm-swept road leaves Katy with a memory full of holes, she can't remember her own email password, much less how the little pink "positive" on the pregnancy stick got there. She's at a loss to explain what happened, or when...or with whom. Suddenly she's got two men claiming to be her baby daddy: her redneck ex, and her long-time crush, Gage.

But what the mind forgets, the heart remembers. Still, it's going to be a long, hard ride to a happily-ever-after for two, plus one.

This book was previously published as Baby, Be Mine.

Memory Gaps

I totally enjoyed everything about Katy Thompson and Gage Jenick. From the very beginning, I was all in with these two. I love the way things start, the twists, and the fight for what they both want, need.

I just 💙LOVE💚 Gage. Even when he's worried that he's in over his head, he finds a way. He's incredibly sweet and so stinking HOT!

When his past comes up, I can appreciate the different aspects of it. I may have gotten a bit angry on his behalf when an unauthorized release of minor information was used in court. I can't say more, but I was ready to throw down. ⚖️🥊

I read along while listening to the audio book. The narrator is the lovely Tatiana Sokolov. She's easy to listen to. 🎧😊

Fun Sweet Erotic Mystery


Ride Baby Ride: Thompson & Sons, Book 1.5
This review may contain spoilers.

Katie Thompson has loved Gage Jenick since she was small, Gage wanted after Katie since she first showed signs of being a woman.

After one night of passion, Gage takes a job in an area with absolutely no cell phone coverage, Internet and the like. After their one night, Katie is in an accident that leaves her with sporadic amnesia. One thing she doesn't remember is her night with Gage.

I suggest not reading the publisher summary as it gives the ending away.

I love the Rocky Mountain series and the Thompson Brothers & Son series, I will listen to anything by Vivian Arend except for her Fantasy/Wolverene box – those aren't my thing.

Tatiana Sokolof is the narrator for most of books by Vivian Arend. While I do enjoy her performances, I like to listen at 1.25 times or 1.5 times to get a nice quality sound. That is just a personal preference of mine.

4 stars all around and

I cannot wait to continue with both of the series (Thompson & Six Pack Ranch) - these are some of my favorites - saving them!

good quick read

okay so I did win this book but I'm going to give my honest opinion because that's the kind of person I am. It was a good quick read. for being the first in the series I felt a little lost I hadn't read the series before I read her previous series and love them. it was not a copy of any book that I read before it did have some twists and turns some things that I didn't see coming which is hard when you read a lot of romance novels to not see things coming. bottom line would I continually this year yes it was a good read some surprises enough for me to be intrigued or more in this year's although I may have to see what came before this to make sure I am on number 1 and to expand this world a little bit to be not as lost as I was although it is a standalone you don't need to know the people it just seems like you should.

Entertaining

Right from the start of this story I felt like I was there watching the
relationship develop between the two main characters.
Started off with them getting together before things took a little turn
that through the couple’s plan off. Will they be able to get back on track.
The narrator like usual has done a great job of bringing this book alive.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this audio book.

An obstacle course of circumstances

This is book 1 in the Thompson & Sons series and it starts with a bang. We have a surprise pregnancy, amnesia and ex-boyfriend issues.

Gage has been in love with Katy for awhile now, but circumstances have prevented him from telling her and acting on his feelings. She is his best friend's little sister and it could ruin his friendship with him. Also, when he's been single, she's had a boyfriend. He would never steal another man's woman. But the stars have finally aligned and he can tell her how he feels and see if she feels the same. He's leaving tomorrow for a six month assignment, so they only have this one night.

When Katy wakes up after the best night of her life, Gage is gone. She rushes out to catch him and tell him goodbye. But she never does catch him and ends up with amnesia and no memory of him. When she winds up pregnant, she has no recollection of sleeping with Gage. Enter the ex-boyfriend to claim the baby is his. Since she doesn't remember being with him either she won't accept his explanation. The ex is a piece of work and does everything in his power to prevent Gage from spending time with Katy and the baby. Until everything comes to a head one night.

Yes, this book has a happy ending. Yes, Katy's brother punches Gage, for several reasons, but they remain best friends. It's a sweet romance with a lot of obstacles to get through. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Tatiana Sokolov narrates this book. She has done so many of Vivian Arend's audiobooks and I always look forward to listening to her.

Fan- freaking-tastic

I love this book. it's been a while since I had a 5 star audiobook and I'm loving this couple. I'm glad that it's not full of silly troupes that I have come across a lot. No misunderstandings or obsession with the female lead weight. So glad for that.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this one! It pulled me in from beginning to end and was really cute. I loved watching these two find their way back together after Katy’s injury and memory loss and Gage being gone for two months during that time. This story was cute and was sweet for a lot of it but they definitely had some things that had to overcome and one of them was a meddling and over the top ex that would not leave. He wanted Katy back and had no problem lying and using her memory loss to any advantage he could find. I loved how Gage tried to prove to Katy that he was in it for the right reasons and the long haul. This story was on the quicker side and if you have read some of the Six Pack ranch series than there are some familiar faces but this can be easily read as a stand alone and I am excited for the rest of the Thompson family books.
The narrator did a great job with the characters and the story and bringing them to life.
