On the heels of her wildly successful collection, Hot Summer Nights, LuAnn McLane takes readers to the Wild Ride Resort and theme park, where the thrilling rides will have everyone screaming-for more...
In "Whip Lash," the owner of the Wild Ride Resort-a sexy, edgy adult amusement park-and a travel writer uncover an excitement that's more exhilarating than any roller coaster.
Jenna and her childhood crush have scored a vacation at the Wild Ride Resort. They agree to keep things platonic, but sharing a room makes the temperatures rise-and makes Jenna wonder if some things really are "Worth the Wait."
An ex-rodeo star turned country music singer discovers that when love comes knocking, you had better "Hold on Tight."

June 29, 2006: This is an anthology with interlocking stories written by LuAnn........The first story is Whiplash - Andrea (Andi) Cooper is a travel writer, but when Janelle Port of Living Large magazine calls to offer her a terrific assignment she tries to turn it down. Apparently Oliver (Max) Maxwell, owner of Wild Ride Resort an adult amusement park had requested her to do a feature for the park. Andi does not approve of how he has ruined the Island it is located on, but there was no getting out of it. Upon arrival, Andi and Max meet under circumstances that cause an embarrassing misunderstanding. Right from the beginning Andi and Max are like striking a match in combustible material. Is Max just after a 'five star rating' any way he can get it?? Or is there more to this interlude??........The second story is Hold On Tight - Travis Mackey is an ex-pro bullrider turned Country Star after a near fatal accident. Krista Ross is the director of entertainment for Wild Ride Resort, but actually is the 'right hand man' for Max. She has a prejudged concept of what Travis is going to be like, and a don't mess with me attitude. Travis cannot put his finger on what it is about her that stirs his blood right from the initial introduction. This is a great story that finds Krista having to fight childhood issues and prejudices when she finds that Travis is taking down all her defences. Travis on the other hand is determined to unearth the real Krista that he can see snippets of at times, and wants this uptight, hot little number to be his exclusively. Can he bring her around to his way of thinking ??..........The last in the anthology is Worth The Wait which finds childhood friends, Cole Forrester and Jenna Wagner, filling in for Cole's sister and her new husband on their honeymoon trip which had to be cancelled for unforeseen reasons. It was to late to get a refund, so they thought it would be a good idea to use the trip up. Jenna had always had a crush on Cole when she was younger, and figured that since she was now older she could handle this since she was over him. Big mistake. Cole finds himself in a catch 22 clause when he desires to have Jenna for more than just one week. Can he get her to love him the way he loves her??.........These three intertwining stories are hot. They will burn up the pages and have you fanning yourself, but they are well written, and packaged as they are makes for one hot, hot enjoyable read.

March 17, 2006: The story in the book is interesting but the way the book develops from page to page is kind of dry. Charactors should be more convincing the author should spend more time developing them so we can get under their skins a little bit. That will give more feeling to a romantic story.
