Riding the Storm

Daredevils Rescue Service, Book 1

By: Erin Wade

Narrated by: Melody Alice

Number-one best-selling lesbian author Erin Wade combines her wicked sense of humor with a rip-roaring romance wrapped in action, adventure, and laughter.

Daredevil Kensley Storm and her partner TJ Cummings own Daredevils Rescue Service, an organization that specializes in extracting undercover government agents from deadly situations.

Kensley lives for the adrenaline high she gets every time she pulls off an impossible assignment. Her latest task is to save Regina Rider from the roof of a skyscraper before armed assassins can reach the gorgeous woman.

Regina is a legend in her own right, having solved more cases than any agent in her division. Like Kensley, she lives for the rush of almost dying. Fires ignite when the two find themselves on the same assignment, but which one is the savior?

Love It!

I loved Riding the storm. Daredevils Rescue Series, Book one. OK. What's not to like. Strong, sexy woman sweeping in to rescue strong sexy woman. Need I say more. Trust me, you'll love it.

Great Action and Plot

Another classic Erin Wade creation with lots of unexpected twists and turns. Look forward to more of the story.

The premise was really good...not great but good

I enjoyed the story, but it was extremely predictable. The plot was fun but if you have any kind of law enforcement or military background prepare yourself to cringe and grit your teeth at the obvious errors. The narrator refers to M.I.6. as M16, there is a huge difference between the British Intelligence Agency and an American Military Cold War Era rifle.

The chances of a military senior officer or the military in general using a stunt company for clandestine operations isn't even conceivable. It would have been more believable if the company was made up of former military acting at the request of a special joint military/civilian task force.

The narrator spells out the acronym R.I.C.C.O. instead of calling it by the better known name ricco. As a former law enforcement user this just gnaws at my brain after the third or fourth time.

Um, I am not sure if the writer, the editor or the proof reader is at fault in the use of verb tenses. Knelt is the grammatically correct past tense of kneel, though kneeled is acceptable. The English language is from England and in England the correct word would be knelt. We here in the US tend to butcher the english language, but since these stories are often read by fans outside of the US, it would be nice to present a grammatical correct face. But this particular item is more a pet peeve, than an error but My mother, an English teacher of 40+ years, would be spinning in her grave if this was one of her English students.

The narrator has the primary character sounding childlike, which would be alright if the character was a child not an "experienced" adult stunt woman. I would have expected her to sound more worldly wise, more an adult than a teenage kid, while the romantic interest sounds like a 30 something woman of the world.

I am not trying to dump on the book, I do like it, I just think it could be so much better. Don't get me wrong. I love the works of Erin Wade, it us just that this is not up to her usual standards.

Good One

Not too many books keep me interested these days but this one did. Finally, for once I did not predict several outcomes. This was a great 1st book to what I assume will be a series - since its labeled book 1 - I just hope the next one will be just as good if not better.

This was a great read

This audiobook went fast! It is packed with action from beginning to end but also includes plenty of getting to know the characters time. Loved it. Definitely recommend it.
