Driving Her Wild



Driving Her Wild by Meg Maguire

Winning is good. Succumbing is even better…

Evasion

Recently retired pro MMA fighter Steph Healy is through having rough-and-tumble romps with sexy blue-collar dudes. Unfortunately, Wilinski’s Fight Academy has hired an electrician with a body built to make a gal weep. And avoiding some full-body contact is taking all of Steph’s self-control.

Grapple

Carpenter-turned-electrician Patrick Doherty is damn good with his hands. Sure, he’s not what Steph is looking for—yet. But he’s about to prove that she has seriously underestimated
her opponent.…

Submission

The moment Patrick has her deliciously pinned, Steph knows she’s in deep, deep trouble. Because this seemingly mild carpenter has the mastery to give her exactly what she needs…and this is one takedown she’s willing to take lying down!

I received this book as an ARC from Net Galley

Steph Healy is done with the life of a MMA fighter. She wants to settle down and find a good, stable guy, get married and have kids. She wants to move past the guys she usually dates, blue collar guy, they are good guys but they aren't stable and she needs that. Since she's working at Wilinski's fight academy and there is Spark above it run by Mercer's fiance Jenna,why not sign up and find a decent stable guy.  Steph watched her parents struggle for money and she doesn't want that life.

Patrick is a regular guy, just trying to make ends meet. His life has been turned upside down by a divorce he didn't see coming. Now he's working as an electrician when all he want to do is restore old houses (the woodwork) to their former glory. He lives in one of those houses and he's barely hanging on, thus the electrician work. The sad thing is this, he royally SUCKS as an electrician. When he sees Steph he's instantly attracted to her but she turns him down at every advance.

The more that Steph and Patrick are thrown together the harder it becomes for Steph to resist Patrick, and believe me she tries hard to resist him.

I really enjoyed Steph and Patrick's story. I went into it expecting not to because I really had no connection to Steph. She hadn't been mentioned too much in the other books, but Meg Maguire makes up for it with the story. You learn all about Steph and what makes her tick.

I've enjoyed reading these books because it feels like a story that could really happen. It feels like if I went to Boston there'd be a real Wilinski's. Mercer would be there training the young guys and Rich would be there training. Jenna and Lindsey upstairs running Spark and now I get to add Steph and Patrick to the mix.

If you haven't picked up these set of books you should!! You have plenty of time to get caught up with the books before this one comes out. I really hope there are more stories to come from Wilinski's. I know I want a ring side seat!
