It’s apparent, a little startling, even refreshing, to see the author blending life stories and maxims with compelling, spellbinding fiction, wrapped around a twisted, sizzling love story gone awry.

In this second book, D learns that paying it forward is not without costs, toss in Candi Parker, the girl of D’s dreams gone rogue, along with vivacious Victoria Lawson, attorney at law, who willingly steps in to fill Candi’s thong, and D’s hilarious misadventures continue across Canada. Reality sets in and the bullets begin to fly just two days after he returns to the states.

D sends Victoria away to keep her out of harm’s way, before tackling his real life demons, aka A.J. Standford, the Ponzi scheming banker who has a bounty on D’s head, and Candi’s extended family, the Gambinos, who will profit from his demise.

The romantic side of the story poses multiple questions: Will D settle for Victoria after being royally screwed by Candi or will his feelings for Candi propel him back into her life and the crime family’s ongoing chaos? Will Candi take back her sleazy ex-husband Joseph or will she somehow manage to break with her powerful family and come crawling back to D’s loving arms?

With all of this going on, there’s bound to be hell to pay sooner rather than later. Like momma always said, “When you play with fire, you’re gonna get burned.”

“Ride to Restoration’s narrative style may be a bit jolting at first, but one becomes quickly attuned to the varying points of view and quickly joins the fun. This is the 2nd in the series and leads right into the upcoming 3rd part of the series, ‘Ride to Retribution.’ If you liked the sexy mayhem of the first novel, then brace yourself, because the stories of the madcap adventures of D, Candi, Victoria, Joseph, and some bad guys just keeps getting steamier and more suspenseful.” Oregon Girl
