OMG, this was a seriously hot read! Ms. James sure knows how to write steamy love scenes, and I'll never look at a motorcycle the same way I used to do before I read this book... ;)

I'm not going to give a plot summary here because the book description does the job pretty well. The story had a good setup and the mystery/suspense part was interesting, even though I guessed who the villain was pretty easily - that's what happens when you have very few secondary characters. There were some gripping...more

Get ready, ladies! This is a really fun, really erotic novel. The heroine is hysterically funny. The hero is totally yummy….gorgeous bod, long black hair. Need I say more? *big smile*

Kenna Jones is lured to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, SD, by a bogus email from the DEA. There she meets the undercover agent in charge, Drake March. Sparks fly big-time. *grin*

Myrtle Beach, SC, hosts a big motorcycle rally for one week every summer. I’ve never been because motorcycles aren’t my thing. Ho...more

Wow...what's not to love about this book? Sexy hero, smart heroine and some really hot sex...it just doesn't get any better than that! This was a really fast read for me. It immediately snagged my attention and held me hostage until I finished it!
Whew! Thanks for the recommendation girls:)

I think i´m getting spoiled rotten with good reads because this was an ok book but i just couldn´t get through it, not when i know there´s soo many great books just waiting for me to finish this. Might re-read it another time, i usually love biker chicks and alpha males. Here you just get the feeling that Drake and Kenna doesn´t even like each other but have sex anyway and i´m having a hard time understanding where the danger is coming from. He´s DEA and she´s an escort "light" who lost a grant...more

well, we learned that biker books simply do not do it for me in any way shape or form. i ate up James's rough rider series like candy so i figured i'd like this one. not so much. the story was weak. i knew who did what in about 20 mins. i also had a hard time believing that such a smart girl could possibly be THAT naive. who wouldnt assume that her "tour guiding" would be not such a good idea? sit and look pretty on the back of a bike for a grand a day? oh come on now.

there was that one scene o...more

5 Stars

This week I found myself in a rut reading wise, and decided to read some books that I had been putting off by some of my favorite authors. One of the first that came to mind was this one Running With the Devil by Lorelei James, and I could literally kick my own ass for putting it off for so long. With this book Lorelei truly shows every bit of her talent as a writer. These characters sucked me in from page one!!!

5 stars – Romantic Suspense/Erotica

Yowza...A ride on the wild side indeed! Running with the Devil by Lorelei James reminds me a lot of Jaci Burton’s Wild Riders series. There’s a sexy-as-sin undercover DEA agent posing as a biker badass, a spunky, smart heroine, a biker gang involved with a drug cartel, smokin’ hot sex (including a steamy erotic interlude on a bike), nasty villains, and exciting action, danger, and suspense.

Lead undercover DEA agent Drake March is a devilishly hot, arrogant alph...more

*sigh* pc fail. time to re-write:

I'm LOVE bikes, period. If there's one on the road next to me, I instinctively whip my head around...whether I'm driving or not! :) But even if I wasn't a bike enthusiast, I would still love this book. Whew, this was fun!

Hot alpha DEA Agent March is trying to break up a potential new drug cartel. His connection to the big fish dealers in the bike world? Sexy geologist student Kenna Jones, who poses as arm candy for bikers with cash to spare during Sturgis's infa...more

Kenna/Kaye was an interesting person, who seems to be trying to come to terms with the dual sides of herself. Drake is just the guy to help her out. They have incredible chemistry right from the first meeting, of course they also can't really stand each other and sharpen their tongues with all the verbal sparring, it is like foreplay for them. But even with all of that they are fun to watch as they try to fight, not very hard, their attraction. This was a fun sexy book filled with motorcycles, a...more
Judith
Wonderful writing, as is always true with Lorelei James. This is the first non-Wyoming-cowboy novel of hers that I have read and really liked it. Still that tension-filled and sexually charged context to the conflict and resolution that makes for a good plot and story line. STrong characters and yet Kenna seemed to have that vulnerability that gives her character authenticity. Very good read!
Kris (KindleRomance)
I really enjoyed this book. It was a very good steamy romance. I liked both of the characters and romance was great. My only complaint was that the backstory had too many names to keep track of making it a bit too complicated. I honestly didn't understand exactly what was going on with that part of the story. I almost pulled out a pen & pad of paper to try to keep track of it all!
Amy
So frustrated! Bought the book for my Nook...font too small. B&N unable to help. Contacted author, advised to contact publisher. Publisher was very helpful & send me another copy. STILL unable to read! You can't adjust the font on a computer, Nook or Nexus tablet. LOVE all things LJ, but mad I wasted my $ on this.
Darcy
Np pretense, what it is, is what it is! Wow, hottie Kenna and hottie Drake team up to solve a mystery and both know their attraction is above and beyond that and not part of the job. He worries as he will be onto his next job in the DEA soon and her because this persona is not her, she is a doctorate student, not a sexy biker chick. While they both work things out in their heads, they continue to have fire-worthy, 5 alarm sex, anytime the notion hits them!!
Stephanie
Although Kenna was quite naïve, her chemistry with smoking hot Drake was off the charts. The suspense aspect of this story was really pretty good.

Overall very good story with a lot of steamy love scenes set among the back drop of the decadence that is Sturgis SD and Bike week.

Ok this book has to be one of my faves by L!!!! This is right up there with my love for Cowgirl Up and Ride, Gone Country, and One Night Rodeo!!! My goodness I wish she would write more about the rest of these characters!!!!
Karen
i thought the whole free for all and anything sex motorcycle thing was hot. and Drake is too. kenna is so stupid to think that he didn't have feelings. i was suprised it was Mirissa who was behind it all. i have a feeling Geo and shawen (girl) have a thing.
BkGurl
Not the same character and story development as other Lorelei James books I've read, but LJ always delivers the smexy!

Donna
It's not fair to rate this book as I haven't finished it. That said I'm obviously not a fan of the first 40% hence shelving it for now.

Too many GOOD books to read and not enough time! I'm going to have to shelf this one as unfinished! Something I very rarely do, but I just don't care enough to finish this one.

hot book. it was....... um the whos in charge kinda relationship. with a bit of a cop story.

It was a very easy read and I enjoyed the story...but I love most of Lorelei James' stories

Loved it . Thanks holly!!!!!!!!

Not my favorite James book.
Sharon
3.5 The sex was hot...let me just get that out there right away. But the reason my rating wasn't any higher was that the rest of the story was a bit lacking. The suspense part of it was only semi-interesting and the characters were redundant. They had the same issues from start to finish and they were just average emotionally. Their chemistry? Smokin' hot! That's what kept me interested enough to read the whole thing and get the HEA that was coming. All in all, not as good as her other books in...more

Unfortunate cover much? That cover is why (though I love me some Lorelei James) it took me two years to finally get around to reading RWTH. I liked what I found beyond the cover, though.

I really enjoyed this work, l am a real fan of Lorelei James.

A bit about me: When I'm not squirreled away behind my laptop writing fun, sexy, contemporary erotic romances set in the modern day Wild West, I can be found reading everything under the sun, practicing yoga until I’m a pretzel, shootin' my .22, watching the Professional Bull Riders tour on Versus, and running a kid's taxi service, all in the guise of avoiding housework and rustlin' up vittles.
