This was a good ending to a pretty hot series about former bad-boy bikers who work as undercover operatives for a secret government agency known as the Wild Riders. All of the Wild Riders had all previously been in trouble with the law at one time or another and were going nowhere fast (jail) until General Grange Lee (who runs the agency)turned their lives around by hand picking them to work on the right side of the law.
This was the story of 29-year-old best buds AJ and Pax (no last names given?) who while on vacation from the WR decide to ride out on their bikes towards AJ's old stomping grounds in Missouri. AJ hasn't been back in the area since he left a bad home life, and the teenage love of his life, 10 years ago. When AJ and Pax decide to visit the town's popular biker bar, AJ is stunned to see that the beautiful raven haired bartender/owner who Pax is hitting on is none other than his old girlfriend, Teresa.
Teresa can't believe that after all these years, she's finally come face-to-face with the guy who broke her young heart so long ago by leaving town without her. A lot has happened to Teresa in those 10 years, and she has some trust issues with men that she's still trying to work out. Teresa tries to play it cool but AJ is even hotter and sexier than he was years ago. And the blond haired, goateed, buff best friend he has traveling with him...wow!
When her twin brother Joey and his peace loving biker gang (the Thorns) are involved in a dispute with rival, drug-dealing gang "the Fists" in Teresa's bar, blood is spilled, Joey is accused of murder, and only Teresa has witnessed the crime. Joey didn't do it, and Teresa will do anything to prove it and clear her brother's name. The police are getting nowhere finding the killer that only Teresa can describe, and Joey still remains the prime suspect. Since the suspect and the Fists have mysteriously disappeared, it dawns on Teresa that they may be at a well-known biker rally in South Dakota, and she's determined to head up there and find him. AJ and Pax decide to help her and go along, and if something develops between AJ and Teresa, or Pax and Teresa, or AJ, Teresa, and Pax...they'll just keep it simple, and have a good time.
Will Teresa, AJ, and Pax be able to find the elusive suspect and clear Joey's name? Will AJ and Pax, who always share their women, be able to share Teresa? Will Teresa be able to overcome her fears and trust AJ/or Pax enough to have a sexual relationship with either or both of them? Will AJ and Pax, who both had difficult childhoods where people they loved let them down, be able to allow themselves to really fall in love with a woman for the first time? And if they do, will Teresa love them back?
Well, I've got nothing negative to say about this story. The writing was good, the story was easy to follow and moved quickly, there was a touch of suspense and a few surprises thrown in, the characters were extremely likable, and the love scenes were hot, but didn't monopolize the story. There was plenty of background given about the characters (physical descriptions, their pasts) that I felt like I knew them well enough and was able to connect with them. Teresa was tough but lovable. AJ and Pax were adorably sexy, protective, and patient with Teresa, and when Teresa (who called the shots sexually) gave them the go ahead, they could get all alpha in the bedroom. The sex scenes were hot, whether it was one-on-one, or two-on-one, and there didn't seem to be any jealousies between the two men regarding Teresa. Amazing. They put her feelings and her welfare first above everything else--who could resist that? They were a couple of sweethearts, and I enjoyed seeing Pax fall in love for the first time, and seeing AJ deal with his guilt over leaving Teresa and rediscovering his love for her. Teresa was one lucky woman.
Fans of the series should be happy with this book, but will be sad to see it all end. I know I am. There wasn't a bad book in the whole sexy lot. This one might not have replaced my favorite ( Riding on Instinct) but it came pretty close. Well done, Jaci Burton. 4 stars.

AJ and Teresa

4 ½ stars – Romantic Suspense/Erotic Romance/Ménage
This final installment of the sexy, thrilling Wild Riders, about former thieves, law breakers, and bad-boy bikers turned undercover government agents, is a hot, action-packed conclusion to a series that’s been steamy loads of fun.
Wild Rider agents AJ and Pax visit AJ’s hometown while on vacation only to soon find themselves mixed up in a biker gang war and a murder, and AJ’s former high school sweetheart, Teresa, is right in the middle of it all. Teresa’s brother, Joey, is accused of killing a rival gang leader and she’s the only witness that can prove otherwise, but the local cops don’t believe her.
When it becomes apparent that the police investigation is stalled and that the real bad guy could be after Teresa to keep her quiet, AJ and Pax vow to do whatever it takes to keep her safe and hunt down the real killer, which entails the trio heading to a biker rally in Sturgis to track down the gang member who framed her brother.
Teresa is the only woman AJ’s ever loved and he’s lived with guilt and regret since leaving her 10 years ago. Old flames truly never die because it’s not long before their prior attraction and feelings resurface. But Pax and Teresa have some serious heat burning between them too. When she discovers that AJ and Pax habitually share women, will she succumb to her long dormant sexual needs and submit to their desires, or will fears from a horrific trauma in her past keep her from taking a chance? And while AJ and Pax help Teresa heal emotionally and sexually, can she also mend their battered, jaded hearts?
There’s a perfect mix of action, suspense, and sizzling hot romance, and it’s a fast paced, exciting read. The relationship dynamics between the three is really well done, and the brother-like friendship between AJ and Pax, AJ and Teresa’s sweet romance, and Pax and Teresa’s explosive passion were all believable. I actually found myself preferring Teresa and Pax together, but I was glad they all got their HEA.
I knocked off half a star because I had trouble believing that Teresa would have owned, worked, and flaunted her sexy assets in a rough biker bar when she had so many (understandable) hang-ups about men because of the trauma she suffered in the past. I just didn’t completely buy her whole “Coyote Ugly” tough gal thing in the beginning, but I was very happy that she found sexual healing in the arms of two caring, smokin’ hot bad-boys who are really oh sooo good.
It didn’t quite beat Riding Temptation or Riding on Instinct for my favorite Wild Riders, but it’s a sexy, fun, entertaining read, and I’m sad for the series to end. But I’m reallllly looking forward to Jaci Burton’s next erotic romance, The Perfect Play, coming in Feb’2011. (Just check out the studtastically fine cover below to understand why!) 4 ½ stars!

Not sure if this knocked out 'riding temptation' which was book 2, out of my top spot as my favorite wild rider story; but it was really damn close!!
This was a great end to an awesome series! I won this advanced copy and couldn't be more happy about it. I feel like I should buy a copy when it comes out because I liked it so much!
Pax and AJ are great, I really liked them from the previous books. And Teresa was a great fit for them...literally!! She was strong and sexy and I liked her from the prologue!
Thanks for a wild ride jaci! And for giving me my love of the bad ass biker!

I love my biker series, it unleashes my inner biker chick, but this one fell short. (It might even be a 2 star read, but I loved the first books of the series and might have been feeling their effect) Riding on Instinct still my favorite of series. This one is still hot, and AJ and Pax were definitely sexy bikers, but I just don't get into the three being together in the end. I don't mind menage, I love erotica, but I like one man, possessive, alpha dominance in the end. My mind just doesn't work like that. It also bothered me that Pax got her more often and I felt more passionately, even though AJ was her first love... doesn't the first love account for anything. If they are going to share it should be "even steven".

I couldn't put this book down! I found the Wild Riders series by reading Nauti and Wild and I've loved every single book in this series! I've been looking forward to reading AJ & Pax's story, and knowing this was going to end up being, hopefully, a HEA for a 3some.
The book starts off giving us a glimpse of AJ's past, when he was 19 and in love with Teresa, but leaves her because of his criminal activities.
Now 10 years later, while on vacation with Pax he decides to go back to his hometown. They stop at a biker bar and he finds Teresa now owns it. In good Wild Riders fashion, even on vacation they find trouble, there's a war between the local biker club and the one from north of town. The leader of the north club is stabbed and Teresa's brother is accused of the murder, while Teresa is the only witness. Now she has to find the killer herself since the cops think she's lying for her brother.
AJ & Pax decide to stay and help and protect Teresa. They both want her. And then they uncover what's happened to her since he left. I think the way they ease her into everything is done well and in a believable way.
This book has a lot of action, mystery, bikers, beers, bike rallys, and some pretty hot sex. I loved the parts when we could see Pax's point of view, and how Teresa's feelings developed for him too. And the sexual chemistry between those 2 was explosive!
It wasn't my favorite book in the series, but it was a great addition to is. I'm sad this was the ending of it, I'll miss our bikers, but I'll definitely be looking forward to Jaci Burton's next book.

A normal woman would have died to be in the same room with these two men. A normal woman would have.

Ok/good for romantic suspense with motorcycle gangs. Lots of sex, two men loving and sharing one woman.
STORY BRIEF:
In a small town not far from St. Louis are two motorcycle gangs. The Thorns rule the south side. The Fists rule the north side. Fists sell drugs. Thorns don’t do anything illegal that I could tell. The Fists want to take over the south side so they can have access to the river for their drug business. Joey is the leader of the Thorns. His sister Theresa owns a successful biker bar with pool tables, TVs, and attractive female bartenders who dance on top of the bars.
Five years ago, two masked bikers attacked and raped Theresa. She’s had no sex with anyone since, partly due to her fears and partly due to other men’s issues with the rape. Ten years ago, AJ and Theresa were 18 and in love. But AJ broke up with her and left town. He had begun stealing cars and felt he couldn’t give her the life she deserved. General Lee is head of a group of government agents who specialize in going undercover as bikers. AJ turned his life around and works for General Lee. His best friend and partner is Pax. AJ and Pax love sharing a woman either separately or at the same time. It’s hetero sex. AJ and Pax have some vacation time, and AJ wants to see his home town. They stop at Theresa’s biker bar and see her. That same night, the Fists come in and start a fight with the Thorns. The Fist leader is killed. The cops arrest Joey as their main suspect. Theresa saw who did it (a Fist member) but the cops don’t believe her. Theresa wants to find the killer to identify him. AJ and Pax help her. AJ and Pax start having lustful and loving sex with Theresa.
REVIEWER’S OPINION:
This is romantic suspense with Theresa in danger more than once. The story was ok but didn’t wow me. There is a lot of sex, and it’s good. There is some rear door activity if that matters. It seemed odd to have a group of agents who only investigated and went undercover with motorcycle gangs. I suppose that could exist, I just hadn’t thought about it before. The Thorns were a “good” gang. I wondered what they did - just hang out for fun? I was pleased there were no major problems such as stupidity or vague communication. At one point I thought Theresa was doing something stupid, but later realized it had some merit. The motive for the rape was questionable. The rapists wanted to hurt someone, and I’m not sure that was the way to achieve their goal. But I won’t judge. There wasn’t much character development. I didn’t know anything about AJ or Pax, other than reformed bad boys. We know a little more about Theresa – her bar ownership, her psychological trauma from rape, and how she handles some of the danger. She was good to read about. There was an interesting twist toward the end.
This was the 5th book in the series. I have not read any other the others. It was fine as a stand-alone.

This book was such a fun read, but I have a feeling that what made it fun for me was not what the author had in mind, and that was the girl card that Teresa played, more about that later.
AJ and Pax are part of the unique set of federal agents who call themselves "Wild Riders". These guys look more like thugs and a motorcycle gang than the law enforcement agents they are. The 2 guys are best friends, who share everything, and by everything I do mean the women the encounter. While they are on vacation they end up in AJ's hometown and run into AJ's high school sweetheart, Teresa. AJ still feels guilty about leaving her ten years ago.
While there he and Pax stumble into the middle of a bike gang territory war, one that seems to center in Teresa's bar, and has her brother smack in the center. To help find the person who has framed her brother, Teresa lets AJ and Pax help her find the bad guy, which is hard for her to do, as past actions have taught her to not trust men in general.
She quickly finds out about AJ and Pax's sharing ways, which intrigues her. It is at this point that Teresa pulls the girl card. She wants to know just how this works, what are the rules, what happens if she is with one guy and the other comes in. I think she brings up valid questions, some that I have never seen voiced in a book about menage, and I love that she just put it out there. I also loved the answers that they guys gave her and their attitudes towards their sharing. The relationship between the 3 of them far outshine "who done it" aspect of the book, and then ending was great and ran true to what they all needed.

Oooh, this was a goody!
- Jaci Burton made the M/M/F threesome smoking hot. Like, I don't get into that ordinarily, but I loved how JB made this a thing for her fourth book. It was fantastic.
- The character dynamics in this one were so deeply developed - I was all in for everything that unfolded in this story.
- This story is a beautiful balance of action, suspense, and romance, and (I'm going to sound like a broken record) the sizzle game is strong.
- I really enjoyed how JB built the relationship between AJ and Pax. Their bond was so strong, and I loved their loyalty to each other. I remember reading with trepidation the first time around, waiting for the moment when one of them betrayed the other, and I cannot even express how much I love Jaci Burton for not doing that to me.
- After learning more about her character, I have a super hard time believing Theresa would behave the way she does in her bar in the beginning. But it's a minor thing.
This totally ends Wild Riders on a high note. Loved it!

Highly disappointing end to the otherwise enjoyable Wild Riders series. This one didn’t work for me at all.
AJ and Teresa were childhood sweethearts, until AJ went all noble on her eighteenth birthday and left her - ‘for her own good’, of course. Neither ever forgot the other.
Cut to ten years later, and their paths cross and feeling reignite. Only this time, AJ’s best friend Pax is in the picture. AJ and Pax do everything together, and the fact that AJ is still in love with Teresa (and she with him) apparently doesn’t make any difference.
This story would have worked so much better as a second-chance romance just involving AJ and Teresa. The whole time I was reading it, I was wishing Pax would leave the two of them alone and go find his own woman.
It certainly didn’t help that Teresa seemed to show a preference for Pax. This didn’t seem to be an equal relationship between the three of them. Pax was always holding Teresa’s hand, she was always choosing to ride double on Pax’s bike, and AJ was just fine with it all.
B. S.
And it wasn’t even that hot.

Lots of other descriptions of the characters given in previous reviews, so I'll spare you mine. I will say this: You should read the series in order. If you enjoy the first book, you'll really enjoy this one.
If you like an action filled whodunit story, featuring smokin' hot bad-boy type, Harley-riding hard bodied men, and if you like the idea of enjoying BOTH of them, then you will probably enjoy this book.

Mon avis en Français
My ENglish review
J’avais pu découvrir Jaci Burton avec ses romances sportives qui étaient assez sympas à découvrir même si c’est vrai que j’ai eu un peu plus de mal à accrocher aux dernières. Quand j’ai vu qu’elle s’était lancée dans une série de bikers j’avoue que j’étais curieuse de voir ce que cela donnait. Bon je me suis lancée directement dans le tome 4 sans avoir lu les tomes précédents, mais je vous avertis tout de suite qu’il n’y a pas de problème à commencer par celui-ci.
Ce roman met en scène AJ et Pax, deux agents fédéraux qui, en vacances, se rendent dans la ville de naissance d’AJ. Mais voilà, quelque chose qui annonçait du repos ne le sera pas vraiment. En effet, alors qu’AJ retrouve son amour d’enfance dans un bar et que les anciens sentiments refont surface, une bagarre éclate. Le problème c’est qu’un meurtre est perpétré pendant cette embrouille et le frère de Teresa est accusé bien qu’elle clame son innocence et explique avoir vu le tueur. A partir de là, les trois vont faire équipe afin de découvrir la vérité sur les évènements pour sauver Joey.
Bon, voilà la partie intrigue, mais c’est vrai que ce côté est mis plutôt au second plan. Ce n’est pas forcément toujours le cas pour ce genre d’histoire, mais la romance est finalement très centrale ici. J’avoue que c’est ce qui m’a posé un peu plus problème… Quand j’ai lu le résumé, je me suis dit que nous aurions un triangle amoureux et même si je sais que beaucoup sont frileux à ce sujet, ce n’est pas quelque chose qui me dérange particulièrement. Mais voilà, ce n’est pas un triangle et c’est plutôt un plan à trois. Je pense que c’est à partir de là que les choses ont commencé à être difficile pour moi… Ce n’est pas forcément le genre de romance auquel j’adhère. Et c’est vrai que certaines scènes m’ont plutôt fait rire. Oui, parce que quand ce n’est pas ensemble, c’est l’un après l’autre et bon, c’est vrai que Teresa ne risque pas de s’ennuyer. J’ai un peu buté sur quelque chose que j’ai ressenti comme une incohérence. En effet, après avoir été violée 5 ans plus tôt, Teresa atout d’abord du mal à s’ouvrir aux hommes, même pour un contact seul, ce que je comprends parfaitement. Mais très vite elle passe à l’extrême et j’avoue que j’ai trouvé ça assez surprenant. Mais peut-être que c’est seulement mon ressenti.
J’avoue que je me suis quand même demandée comment ce type de couple pouvait fonctionner sur la durée, pour le mariage, pour les enfants, un peu pour tout. Bref vous l’aurez compris ce n’était pas forcément le roman…

Favorite Quote: “Take it easy, Teresa. It was just an orgasm, not world peace.”
When AJ and Pax decide to stop by AJ’s hometown while on vacation, AJ never expects to run into his old high school flame,Teresa. Teresa was heartbroken when AJ left her but got on with her life and now owns a large profitable biker bar. But the feeling are still there between them, simmering hot just barely beneath the surface. While catching up at the bar, a fight breaks out between rival gangs leaving one man dead and Teresa’s brother accused of murder. With Teresa as the only eye witness and no proof to clear her brother’s name, the three of them head to the annul bike fest in South Dakota to find the real killer.
Teresa is confused and titillated to find she is equally attracted to both AJ and Pax. A past trauma in her life leaves her guarded and unable to trust men. When AJ and Pax discover her secret they vow to help her heal anyway they can. In their arms, Teresa slowly discovers a feast of sensual delights and raging passions that binds the three of them in it’s intensity. But when love enters the picture; can it hold them together? Or will it tear the three of them apart?
Jaci Burton’s Riding The Night is a veritable feast for the senses. Mystery, suspense, and sensual delights all blend together perfectly in a delish contemporary story.Teresa, Aj, and Pax are all strong, intelligent, yet vulnerable characters.
AJ and Pax are partners in the Wild Riders gang, an undercover agency that infiltrates biker gangs. Both of them had similar upbringings and personalities that bonds the two of them in friendship. When they realize that they both are attracted to the same woman, it takes their friendship to a new level and they begin to “share” woman in sexual ways. AJ and Pax have commitment issues and are all about the fun and games of their escapades-as long as their willing conquests realize that love will never enter the picture.

A.J. and Pax - a woman's erotic dream come true. They are best friends, united by their similar pasts. They share their life and their women. A.J. had loved Teresa as a teenager. He left. Now he is in his old hometown with Pax. They both want Teresa but they want to share.
Someone has set up her brother, A.J.'a boyhood friend and leader of the local motorcycle club. He is accused of murder. A.J., Pax and Teresa know he is innocent. There is action and there is hot sex. Teresa has suffered a trauma in her recent past. A.J. and Pax want to help her while helping her brother.
These bad boys are fun, strong and hot. What more could a girl want? They are just not permanent.
This is a good addition to the series. The chemistry between the three are deep and scorching. The story grabs the reader from the beginning and holds on. I enjoyed this read.

Burton does it again with smoking hot sex! I am not drawn by the motorcycle theme of these books but it certainly doesn't detract from the hot men and the amazing sex. The story was predictable and I had a hunch of the 'who done it' for pretty much the whole book. Again, didn't bother me because I loved the boys! AJ and Pax were so much fun and so sexy. The only downfall of this book to me personally is that the heroine was a little...I don't know...redundant? She kept asking about the rules and thinking the same thing over and over. That got a little tiresome so I did skim some of those inner monologues to get to the 'good parts' :)

I'm not surprised that Teresa fell fast and hard for AJ and Pax. They were so sweet, patient, and understanding about her past. Unlike the other men she attempted to get close to, they didn't run away when they found out about the horrendous assault she was still battling to overcome. They stood by her and when she was ready, they let her set the pace in the relationship. What a couple of sweethearts!
Now regarding the assault, I was surprised to discover who was one of her attackers. To be violated in any way is horrific. To find out it was by someone you trusted...emotionally and psychologically devastating.

Great ending to an awesome series. I am sad that it is over.
If Teresa ever gets tired of AJ and Pax I would like for her to give me a call! LOL
*******might be a spoiler*******************
One complaint, the sex scene at the very end in the parking lot of her bar???? SO not necessary to the story. I understand that they couldn't wait to get her home, but come on in a parking lot. Not hot at all, just a little to skanky for me, especially the way they were throwing around the "I Love Yous"

Motorcycle + alpha hero = wild ride. Motorcycles + 2 alpha heroes + 1 strong heroine = explosive ride. Jaci Burton’s final entry in her ‘Wild Rider’ series is typical Burton; and by that I mean get ready for romance, exciting characters, intrigue, adventure, emotional revelations and passion.

The writing was good, but I don't go for stories with 2 guys and a girl. I like strictly one on one action. So I was bummed when I got partway thru the story and realized that I was heading into threesome territory. It's just not my thing. And the real bummer is that I bought the book on my kindle, so I can't even trade it in to the used bookstore! Oh well.

Totally loved this one; by far my favorite of this series. I found AJ and Pax super sexy and Teresa was strong and didn't annoy me like some heroines do. The love story was smoking hot (what do you expect from a wicked threesome). The plot however was a little weak and I saw the traitor coming from a mile away.

Loved it
What an absolutely awesome book. I loved all the characters and the mystery thrown in and the second chance at love story that's going on as well. This book had me on the edge and wondering who did what and why. I loved it.

A tag team that makes the pages sizzle.

This book is such a page turner! After every page, I needed to read more & more! Two partners who work undercover are partners & do everything together including sharing the same woman at the same time. They go on vacation on their motorcycles and end up at one of their hometowns that they haven't been back in 1o years. He stumbles upon his childhood lover and all the feels come back to when they were together. She was surprised as well, but in a good way. Her brother gets involved in a murder case and is mistakenly blamed for the murder of a rival biker gang. She joins the 2 undercover agents to solve the case. The three of them start a love triangle & oh is it spicy! Every detail just gets hot & spicy and the sexual tension and love they have for each other grows more and more with all the time they spend together. The ending is so perfect & is such an amazing book for all my fellow erotic romance & thriller lovers! I love the way Laci Burton writes her books. Definitely a big fan of all her publications!

This was a fun read. I kind of broke my heart to hear the treatment of the young man, and even when you hear his partners story later on.
I will say at least he had the mindset to know that if he had stayed, he would have dragged her down with him.
Now he is back with a new set of rules and willing to throw down the gauntlet to any idiot willing to hurt her.

I haven't read a menage story in quite a while, but this book by Jaci Burton was not only sexy and hot, but had a wonderful storyline and great characters too. Riding the Night in my opinion is the best book of the series.

All Kinds of Love
The plot is exciting and the characters are hot. I spent the whole book trying to figure out who gets the girl. You'll love the ending.

4.5/5
i loved pax, aj, and teresa. they were so hot i wanted to jump into the pages to live their lives. im taking half a star off though cause of the third person point of view. it just randomly bothered me. i also did not like a couple of things but i wont’t go into detail cause i want to keep this short. however, i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to people.
