Rie Warren gives readers a bad boy bachelor and a tattooed vixen in this hot new release from her steamy southern series.

New York Times bestselling paranormal author, Nicky—Nick—Love is anything but successful in love. For years he’s lost himself in his writing career, but now he’s ready to get back to his rebel-boy roots. While restoring a motorcycle at Stone’s Auto Service, he meets the Wildcat of his dreams. She’s a shock to the system for the romance writer who doesn’t remember a damn thing about wooing a woman.

Cool-as-ice, Catarina “Wildcat” Steele is utterly untouchable until Nicky ignites a spark she can’t control. Their electric attraction explodes as Nicky pursues her, but he comes bearing the baggage of a family tragedy he’s hidden from everyone. He knows love has no guarantees.

Their passionate romance falls apart when Nicky discovers Cat’s secret rivals his own. The truth about her past reopens Nicky’s raw wounds and awakens a ghost he never laid to rest. He doesn’t know how to have Cat, and now he can’t trust her. Will they be torn apart . . . or tamed by love?

Review

"The storyline is great. The lovin' is frequent and intense. There is an HEA, (it's terrific) and let us not forget the humor that will have you laughing out loud at times." ~Amazon reviewer

"I read the first book in the Carolina Bad Boys series and really enjoyed it. So when the second came out I said heck yeah I wanted to read it. I was ready. I knew what to expect. No cheesy but great fun. And what I got blew me away. How in the world author Rie Warren did it I don't know but...Love, In the Fast Line was freaking awesome!!!!" ~Jeep Diva

"I don't want to give anything away, just know this story is much deeper than Stone and Leelee's. I loved every minute of this book, even when I wanted to slap some characters silly I knew something hilarious or sweet or unbelievably sexy was just a page turn away." ~One-Click Addict's BookBlog

Badass, sassafras Rie Warren is an OG Amazon All Star author of Bad Boy books and MC romance. She delivers five star sex, suspense, and the best banter around. Her stories are one hundred percent original, do not contain fluffy plots or virgin brides, and wring every last emotion from readers to leave them with a satisfied smile. Rie’s tough alpha males are never brought to heel, but are instead healed by the feisty femme fatale of their perfect match.

In true roundabout fashion, they came back to the States, settled in South Carolina’s lowcountry, putting down southern roots and pursuing their arty endeavors. Tale spinner and character diviner, Rie is a lover of sleep, wine, and rude memes often involving either Disney characters or Winnie the Pooh. She is raising two teen daughters along with an entire brain full of unruly characters.

Rough-talking alpha men? Rie has that on tap.

Stubborn sassy heroines? You bet.

Smoldering sex scenes that’ll set your Kindle on fire? Check, check, check.

Addicted To Love! and Stone,! ALL of Rie's panty melting men! I've been taken by Rie Warren's writing in a way I'd only ever experienced with JR WARD. Can't get enough of her alpha characters - her fresh writing approach - the sense of humor - and the sizzle between the sheets uh err pages!!

I've said since I read Rie's first book, she has something different! A special knack for writing men, a fresh approach to romancing - from the "Bad Boy's" raunchy, raw, animalistic and very often hilarious POV. Rie & her characters own me! I'm helpless to do anything but read the minute she gives us a new story. AND SHE'S SO DAMN FAST! With other authors, especially best sellers, we wait year(s) for sequels to stories we love, But not with Rie! She pounds em out and demands they get into our hands faster than..well -.faster than the hens would blow Stone if given the chance!

Which reminds me! Wasn't Stone a hoot in this round!? I loved all the glimpses of him & LeeLee settling into their relationship and planning the wedding. He's a different version of the tryin to be gay for the day - we first met. He's Stone the Barbarian Romancer, at times - Stone I don't give a f**k - Rhett Butler - and ahhhh Daddy Stone *sighs*.

These Alpha guys work hard; play hard; stay hard ; and love their women hard!

Nicky was a wonderful - hot- sexy, surprise. My experience meeting this Nicky , is kind of like the Clark Kent to Superman transformation - right down to the part where he's a man of Steele!
Cat Steele that is.
Raven hair to her ass.
A knock out body -
Icy vibe and fiery eyes
Along with the " I have 2 Biker Brother's" so don't mess with me, tude, that gets Nicky slapped in the face during their first conversation.
Cat is LeeLee's opposite - and the attraction is instantaneous.

I love the humor was still there, with a lot of our old fav secondary characters,like the shop guys & writing hens... along w/ some great new ones - and the ever growing feel of family and small town, southern living. The drama cranked up a lot in LOVE, the story line matured - and Rie took us for a Ride on this one, that left me breathless and ready for more - so much more.
**I could read her books and characters even if there were 11 of them with over 500 pages each - Like JR Ward.**

Theres so much to LOVE about this book - the series, the characters, the QUICK turn around time Rie's been able to write and release - all of Rie's work!!

Great read, an absolute STEAL at .99. **feel bad for Rie - I've paid so much more for such LESS reading experience** She really deserves an avalanche of success with this series .

My Review:
In-your-face, unrepentant, lay it all out there...these Carolina Bad Boys are absolutely not going to be for everyone. They're rough, they're crude, they're rude...but at their hearts they love their women like no other. I loved the first book (Stone: At Your Service) so much, but a lot of that was because it was set at a romance writer's convention. I wasn't sure I would like this one as much when it got away from that setting, but I did.

These books and characters are irreverent and completely different from any other heroes out there in the romance world. Honestly, I think Rie Warren has probably hit the nail on the head with how her guys act in its representation of guys as a whole and how they act and talk when women aren't around. Regardless, it makes for an enjoyable book...simply in the fact that it's such a different style than 99.9% of the books out there. The book is told entirely from Nicky's pov. While he may be a romance writer in his professional life, he's a guy's guy in his every day life.

Throughout this book, he is trying to get Cat Steele to give him a chance. Cat doesn't do relationships after some bad choices a few years back. Honestly, she doesn't feel like she deserves happiness like that with someone...esp. someone like Nicky who has his own ghosts from his past haunting him. He doesn't need her ghosts too. But this is the first time in forever that Nicky can remember ever being this interested in a woman. For the first time, he can see a future relationship with someone...a kind of forever style of relationship and he's not willing to give up on that idea.

In the middle of all this is Josh Stone and his boys at the shop always giving Nicky a hard time. There are Cat's two protective older brothers who don't trust Nicky to take care of their sister and not break her heart. She's had enough pain in her life. She doesn't need anymore heartbreak and they are determined to keep that from happening.

This book is about friendship and forgiveness and learning how to move on from past mistakes. Yes, it's irreverent and the characters are loud and rambunctious, but I loved it. Nicky takes care of the people in his life. He has his tribe of souls that he would do anything for and you have to love a guy like that. No, this book is not going to be for everyone, but I LOVED IT. I fell in love with Nicky right alongside Cat (actually, I think I fell in love with him first, but...ya know, fictional character and all that...and honestly, Rie probably has dibs on both him and Josh. Maybe she'd share them on off-nights...)

I highly recommend you check out the sample on Amazon (or Rie probably has excerpts on her website) because I have a feeling that you'll fall in love with these guys too. Now bring on the Steele boys!!

I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review.

I am a BIG fan of Rie Warrens writing! I knew the sex was going to be hot, steamy, wet and a panty twister! The connection between Nicky Love and Caterina Steele is very well balanced, they have their dark past and stubborn as they are, they try to work it out. Maybe not all at the same time but they learn about how the other ticks and chemistry is amazing. The story flows and you never want to put the book down and is a great follow up after book one STONE and I can't wait to read the 3rd RIDE that just came out! Funny, witty, sexy, and edgy!

Paranormal Romance writer Nick Love has had no luck in his own love life, dating and true romance is something he hasn't a clue about.
Meet Catrina "Wildcat" Steele, a woman who's tough as nails and untouchable, will Nick be able to break through her ice, to show her feelings. Will they ever be able to get together and really start a relationship.
I loved this story. They both avoided relationships, but meeting each other changed their thinking. Lots of crazy banter and sexy love action, plus great secondary character's. A fantastic read, I highly recommend it!

Well this was a real shocker of a book. Had no great expectations as I’d liked the first book but Omg this was just so so much better. Characters have really come to be larger than life but nic and wildcat and their extended families just made my day. I laughed out loud, gulped a few tunes and felt so sad for both of them. However main thing is that this was such a good book that I could have just kept reading to see what their future holds. Well done to the author.

3.5 Stars...While I liked this one I must admit it wasn't as good as I was expecting for some reason. I think when Nick found out about Cat's secret I didn't like his reaction. Of cause he kind of redeemed him self and I was glad they got their HEA. Again the slang threw me a bit but not to unmanageable. Overall an enjoyable read but just not wow for me.
