Logan McKay is instantly drawn to the new woman at the Silo. As a fantasy maker, he has seen it all. But he isn't prepared for the protective feelings he develops for the new woman being paraded through the club in preparation for the upcoming auction of her virginity. 
 Auralie isn't all that comfortable with her current situation, but she knows she must go through with it. But there is more to her story than just a woman auctioning off her virginity and she can't help wishing she could change her situation. 
 There is an instant connection between these two, even before they speak. Silent communication flows between them, even before words have passed between them, and they can easily read each others moods, to the point of nearly reading minds. She doesn't want to auction off her virginity, but has no choice. He can't continue to watch her as the auction gets closer. 
 Logan is also hiding, but hiding his past from everyone including those closest to him at the Wicked Horse. No one knows who he was before he arrived in Wyoming to work as a fishing guide and Fantasy Maker, but his nightmares point to a horror of some kind. Readers have met him in previous Wicked Horse novels, but his backstory is more than I could have imagined. 
 At times, things became a little uncomfortable and a little awkward as I wondered what was going on and how Logan could help Auralie. But Auralie is hiding something that makes all the difference. As the story unfolds, I loved watching these two. Their chemistry is off the charts, and the lengths they will go to protect the ones they love are immense. It was never a case of if they would get together, it was a case of how they could work it out. 
 As to be expected from this series, there is lots of sex and lots of kink, though the kink is far lighter than others in the series simply because of Auralie's virginal status. I liked that their relationship built with minimal sexual content, even as they were surrounded by sex of all kinds. Their connection may have been immediate, but it took time for things to develop beyond the instant attraction that simmered between them. I really liked that for a change, they had to put a hold on things developing physically until well beyond the instant attraction. 
 I so want to get into Bridger's head, before this book but especially after the epilogue and cannot wait for his book, Wicked Bond to come out. I'll be honest. Part of me almost didn't read Wicked Ride, not because I wasn't interested in Logan, but because Bridger is such an intriguing character and I knew it would not revolve around him. I am glad I read Ride, because I ended up liking Logan's story more than I anticipated, but also because it gave me one more glimpse of Bridger as a mystery. I cannot wait to get inside his head and find out why he can wield so much pain and pleasure within the Silo yet no one affects him. He has long been the most intriguing character of this series for me, and I can't wait to learn his story. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
