***4.5 'Team Ozzie' Stars*** 
 Yes. I am one of those that has been DYING for Ozzie's book.. DYING. He's been my absolute favorite BKI operative since the first book and to be absolutely honest, the entire reason I've kept up with the series and I wasn't disappointed. Wild Ride was fun, fast paced read with a good dose of smexyness, humor and heart. 
 As you can see I've adored Ozzie from the beginning. He's that rare mix of goofy, geeky goodness and intense, smexy, protective alpha male that have seriously had my ovaries bursting to procreate with the man. And in this book we still get all of that, but there is a thread of self doubt that has him questioning his future and has the ghosts of his past haunting him. And though I wanted to shake some sense into him, I also wanted to hug him and tell him everything would be okay in the end. 
 It was hard not to like Samantha. The woman is tenacious and you have to respect her pitbull nature, which does serve her well as a reporter. But though the woman can be a tad bit irritating with her determination she has a code of honor and a compassionate heart. It took me a bit to truly warm up to Samantha, but once she got a few things straightened out she really started to grow on me. I loved her quick wit and humor and how her quest for the truth didn't override the well being of others. 
 Ozzie and Samantha's journey to their HEA was a long time in the making and was easy to see why they were so good together. Their bantering was fun and witty and I loved how they respected and enjoyed each other's quirks and the sexual chemistry between them was intense. Their assumptions about what the other wanted drove me batshit crazy, though it was understandable considering what Ozzie couldn't tell her about himself. Thankfully some of the BKI peeps step in and help get them sorted and I loved how they finally came together. 
 This was a fun read, quick read. The suspense part of the story was well done and I liked how it brought Ozzie and Samantha closer together. What I've always enjoyed about the BKI series is the family feel of it and though most of the guys are not apart of the main story, the ones who were kicked ass and I loved catching up with them and the roles they played in the story. I also liked getting to spend more time with Christian and cannot wait for his book to come out, though I can't say I'm disappointed in anyway that Dagan's book is up next!
