One Sexy Ride is part of the Thompson and Sons series, which follows the romantic adventures of the Thompson family in the small town of Marietta, Montana. The novel is set in Marietta, Montana, and revolves around the complex relationship between TJ, the owner of the local motorcycle shop, and Lauren, a successful event planner from Houston.
When Lauren comes to town to organize a charity event, she meets TJ, and the chemistry between them is electric. However, they come from very different worlds, and TJ is hesitant to get involved with someone who may not understand his love for motorcycles and his rough around the edges personality.
As the two get to know each other better, they discover that they have much more in common than they initially thought. However, their budding romance is threatened by several obstacles, including Lauren’s demanding job and TJ’s complicated family dynamics.

One of the strengths of the novel is the chemistry between the main characters, TJ, and Lauren. Arend does an excellent job of building their relationship slowly and convincingly, allowing readers to invest in their romance fully.
Additionally, the supporting cast of characters, including members of TJ’s family and Lauren’s colleagues, adds depth and complexity to the story, making it feel like a fully realized world. However, the novel does have some weaknesses that should be noted.
The pacing can feel a bit slow at times, and the conflict between the main characters seems to be resolved too easily. Additionally, some of the secondary characters could have been developed more fully, as they feel somewhat one-dimensional.
Overall, One Sexy Ride by Vivian Arend is a fun and engaging romance novel that will satisfy readers who enjoy steamy love stories. While it may not push the boundaries of the genre, it is a well-written and enjoyable novel that is sure to be a hit with fans of contemporary romance.
I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
