SHE'S TAKING A WALK ON HIS WILD SIDE
Emma Rush
can't remember a time when she didn't have a thing for Ryan Blake. Haven's
resident bad boy is just so freakin' hot-with tattoos, a motorcycle, and enough
rough-around-the-edges sexiness to melt all her self-control. Now that Emma's
over being a "good girl," she needs a little help being naughty . . .
and she knows just where to start.
Before
Emma's brother enlisted in the military, he made Ryan promise that he would
protect her from everything--including himself. When her brother doesn't come
home, Ryan needs to turn his screwed-up life around to honor his pledge. But he
knows he's still not the right kind of guy for someone as sweet as Emma. Only
he can't stop wanting to be with her. Wanting her. Falling in love with a good
girl may be the craziest risk this bad boy can take . . .
Whoa. Emma closed her eyes and let out a
shriek as Ryan guided the motorcycle onto Main Street and picked up speed. The
cold wind whipped her face, taking her breath away. Beneath her, the engine
rumbled and roared like a wild thing. Holy sh*t. She was on the back of Ryan
Blake’s bike, and it was amazing.
The wind
bit through her thin, knit gloves, hitting her fingers with an icy blast.
Actually, every part of her was freezing, but she didn’t care. She wrapped her
arms more firmly around Ryan’s waist, anchoring herself to him so she didn’t
tumble off the back of the bike, and somehow her hands slipped beneath his
jacket. Ahh. That was better. Toasty warm, and also…her hands were on his
T-shirt. Even through her gloves, she felt the hard contour of his abs, and
nope, she wasn’t cold now.
And this
was absolutely freaking amazing.
She hung on
tight as he guided them over Haven’s twisting mountain roads, deserted at this
hour. Overhead the moon shone like a beacon, illuminating the night in its
soft, silvery glow. The roar of the engine and the slap of the wind against her
face shocked her senses. It was thrilling, invigorating, so completely
different from riding inside a car.
She’d never
have done this if Mandy hadn’t dared her, and now she felt like her eyes were
open for the first time in years. This was what she needed. Somewhere along the
way, as she sat at the bar talking to Ryan, she’d realized she was having fun,
really having fun. And she wanted more. She wanted it all, every last wild and
crazy fantasy.
All too
soon, her building came into view. Ryan cut the engine and guided them quietly
into the driveway, coming to a stop behind her silver Toyota RAV4. He turned
his head to look at her, so sexy in his helmet and riding glasses. “So how was
it?”
“Even better
than I thought it would be.” She gulped for air. His lips were way too close to
hers, and she was still a little bit drunk on beer and a whole lot drunk on her
first motorcycle ride. Mandy’s words echoed in her ears. Bonus points if you
kiss him. Just stand up a bit, lean over his shoulder, and…
Emma leaned
forward, her chest sliding up his back as she tipped her face to his. Holy
hell, she had completely lost her mind, but she was going for it. Every nerve
in her body went haywire.
Clunk. Her
helmet smacked into his, drawing her up an inch short of his lips.
Rachel
Lacey is a
contemporary romance author and semi-reformed travel junkie. She's been climbed
by a monkey on a mountain in Japan, gone scuba diving on the Great Barrier
Reef, and camped out overnight in New York City for a chance to be an extra in
a movie. These days, the majority of her adventures take place on the pages of
the books she writes. She lives in warm and sunny North Carolina with her
husband, son, and a variety of rescue pets.
What did
you enjoy most about writing this book?
I
loved writing all the fun, adventurous things Ryan and Emma did together in
CRAZY FOR YOU – rock climbing, cliff jumping, motorcycle rides, etc. They were
so much fun to write, and it was the perfect balance to some of the heavier
themes in the book. These two characters really bring out the best in each
other, constantly pushing each other out of their comfort zones.
If you had
a theme song, what would it be?
Dream
On by Aerosmith – “Dream until your dreams come true!”
Name one
thing you won’t leave home without.
Chapstick!
I have a weird obsession with it.
A la Twitter style, please describe your book in 140 characters or

If you could have dinner with any three authors (alive or dead), who
would you choose and why?
First, JK Rowling because she is a literary genius and a
fierce feminist, and I’d love to chat with her about anything and everything. Next,
Mary Higgins Clark because she was my very first “favorite author,” and I’d
love to thank her for that. And of course Nora Roberts because she is my hero
and gives great advice. All three of these ladies have inspired me so much, and
I would love to just soak up all the knowledge they could impart.
What are your favorite types of stories to read?
My favorite books make me laugh *and* cry. I want ALL
THE FEELS while I’m reading!
