I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I was excited to dig into the next book in this series. Veronica "Ronnie" Ashford was here to meet this driver, get him to decline the job and get back to work. Meeting Jack Crews was not in her plan nor was the chemistry she found between them. Ronnie was used to being along and refused to be dependent on anyone that is until Jack Crews walked into her life. Slowly Jack shows Ronnie that not only can he be trusted but his family can as well. When Ronnie is being threatened Jack refused to let her do this alone. Wonderful story of love, trust and family.

I couldn’t wait to read Jack’s story. Wondered who would capture his eye and what she would be like. I’m not sure if Ronnie is who I imagined. She was hard edged and very capable. At first, I wasn’t sure if I even liked her. But the more I got to know her and her backstory, I liked her more and more. Jack was very patient, which is what Ronnie needed. It was great to get updated on Brodie, Charlotte, Mary, Ros, and especially Howler. Can’t wait for Charlotte’s story.

When her family turned their backs on Veronica Ashford, she grew her tough exterior to survive. When her is pick and delivery services become more dangerous, her bosses decide it's time to bring in the brothers of Mustang Transports, in particular one Jack Crews. Determined to keep things strictly business, that is out the window when Ronnie and Jack can’t deny their attraction to each and they draw closer as danger surrounds them.
Book two in the Road to Love series is absolutely one to read.

Intriguing story about a gal that's a loner who gets thrown into a framily that she's not sure she can handle. Lots of twists that will keep the pages turning. With the help of dogs and kitten she finally finds love.

Ronnie Ashford is a lone wolf, well equipped to take care of herself. Sometimes a girl just needs a distraction on a long, lonely night and she meets a likely candidate at a neighborhood bar she's visiting. She gets more than she bargained for when she finds out he's Jack Crews, the bodyguard and ride along person she's there to do business with. Jack is very attracted to Ronnie's brain and independence. He just needs to convince her it's okay to rely on him to have her back.

This is a wonderful new read from Lori Foster that will please old and new fans alike. It's a little bit of mystery and romance that is hard to put down.

Lori Foster really knows how to deliver mystery, intrigue, awesome family connections interesting side characters and hot steamy chemistry between the lead characters and the HEA that I love. Ronnie has had some trauma in her life and has walls up and a tough exterior to protect herself. Jack sees right through that and is attracted to her instantly. As they work together to collect oddities for the twins they begin to realize something is “off” and seems to be stalking Ronnie. I won’t reveal more but this book is a standalone that draws you in and won’t let you go until you’ve finished reading it. I adore Lori’s love of animals and that is shown in this book. Another awesome 10 star book!!!!

Lori Foster has delivered two very different main characters. Ronnie has built a wall around herself due to past experiences, so she is tough on the outside, but fragile inside. Jack Crews seems to be a quiet, polite, conservative man until something sets him off and then he goes totally alpha. I loved both these characters and the chemistry between them. Happily, the Crews family with their dog, Howler, are all in the book, and any book with Howler touches my heart.

This book follows Driven to Distraction but works well as a standalone.

I received an ARC from NetGalley, and this is my honest review.

I was disappointed that the storyline was so similar to book 1, Road to Distraction. Although the characters are different the setting is the same in Slow Ride as it was in Driven to Distraction. I realize the story revolves around two brothers and their business, but there were just too many similarities between the two couples and their stories. I'm sure courier/delivery services deal with all sorts or clients, however to have two very similar situations (working for a client who collects oddities from strange characters) was just too cut and dried. They are stand-alone novels so if reading just Slow Ride without having first read Road to Distraction, my rating would be 4 stars. Great character evolution and the suspense as to who and why, Ronnie is being stalked kept my interest. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this story.

Love Lori's books. This series is so much fun. I love family style books and they is always an animal in all of them. I wish mine behaved hang as well as those in the books lol. The only thing I want crazy about was Ronnie. She wasn't my favorite main character. I'm all for tough independent work but she was just a little much for me.

Ronnie has a job to do and her bosses decided she needs some muscle for protection. In walks Jack. They have chemistry but due to Ronnie's prickly attitude things are slow going in the romance department. Her job is odd and it leads them into some strange but clichéd situations that help to cement their working and romantic relationship. The jobs were strange and therfore it made the storyline hard for me to believe so I didn't enjoy it as I have many of Lori's other books. I received an ARC from Netgalley and this is my honest review.

OMG, Ronnie and Jack are just as great as Brodie and Mary were, and we get more road trips! Ronnie was basically tossed aside by her family, and has made her own way, in her own way, dealing with things the best she can. Jack has his mom, Brodie and Charlotte, plus his issues with his dad, but his family comes first. These two seem like opposites, especially to Ronnie, but that makes everything all the better.

Ronnie also appears to have someone watching her, but who? Her father? Her sister? The kidnapper from her past? A past business associate? How will she and Jack handle this development, if there really is something going on?

Another fun book by the wonderful Lori Foster.
I really enjoyed Ronnie. She was an unusual character, unlike anyone I've seen before. And Jack was wonderful and dreamy, the perfect opposite for Ronnie.
The suspense plot felt a little weak, but overall a wonderful one-sit read.

In “Slow Ride” (Road to Love #2) by Lori Foster we are thrown back into the world of Mustang Transport. Jack Crews, unlike his brother Brodie, is refined in the way he handles himself in both appearance and attitude. That is until he meets Ronnie Ashford, who while in the same breath offers him a job and tries to convince him to turn it down. But Jack wants more than the job – he wants Ronnie. Now all he has to do in get her on board.

The characters from “Driven to Distraction” were all back as was my favorite dog, Howler – who proves once again to have the biggest heart out there.

I received ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Slow Ride is the second book in the Road to Love series but when the author says it is a standalone, it truly is. I did read book one and “know” some of the characters and I always enjoy that. SR is about Jack Crews, brother to Brodie from book one, and he is just as bada@@, but in a bit different way. Jack is more “refined” and “calm” than Brodie, at least on the surface, but in his own way is just as gorgeous and capable as Brodie. Usually he looks the GQ part but the first time he meets Ronnie Ashford he’s in work clothes and is a mite bit grubby from working on his house. Ronnie doesn’t know he’s Jack Crews, is drooling over him, until he says his name. Annnnnnnnnnnddddd they are off! Instead of a meet-cute, they actually had a meet-hawt/oh-hale-no, imho.

I won’t recap the story because I couldn’t do it justice. It has fast action, mayhem, is sizzling hawt, and I think it is more about Ronnie and Jack and their growing relationship. Ronnie works for twins who collect…let’s call it morbid trivia. She usually handles the retrieval of the objects alone however the brothers insist that she work with a driver, who doubles as a bodyguard, and she is NOT happy about that. They really are such a great couple, and their bickering, and simmering passion is smexy. Ronnie has had a hard life in that she has issues with her family, and has had them since she was very young and on her own. Surprisingly enough, Jack has a few hidden issues to overcome as well, and these two find their “peace” together.

Now, the character I met in book one, who is also in Slow Ride, is Howler, Brodie’s rescue dog. Howler stole my heart in book one and he shines just as much in book two. He helps Ronnie on her personal journey, as he does with all the family. Jack and Ronnie are perfect together, but phew, are they combustible! I really enjoy this series and loved both books. Can’t wait to read more! I received an ARC of #Slow Ride from #NetGalley, and this is my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. I didn't really care for Ronnie at first but she grew on me. Jack and ronnie make a really cute couple. I can't wait until Charlotte's book especially since we found out who she ends up with!

Slow ride is the second book in the series. I enjoyed catching up with the Crews family. You don't have to read the first book in the series to enjoy this book. But, I highly recommend reading both books. Lori Foster has a knack for writing a great series. From the first meeting at the bar Ronnie and Jack had instant chemistry. Ronnies tough past and stubbornness is no match for Jack's charm. From one delivery job to the next the adventures never end. Once Jack knocks down Ronnies walls she learns that mixing work and pleasure isn't a bad thing. Adding a very large but loveable dog and an adorable kitten to the mix never hurts. Once again Lori nailed it! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy. As a big fan of Lori's I can't wait to read what happens next.

Veronica (aka Ronnie) has no desire to take on a partner for her transporting jobs. She’s capable of taking care of herself and someone else would just hinder her or get in her way. The last thing she expected was to have the hots for the guy she was hoping would decline her job offer.

Jack was such a fun character! He could be sweet, charming, tough, and protective at the spin of a page, keeping me guessing at how he would respond to Ronnie’s reactions. I liked how he took his time to build trust between them even when his libido was strongly protesting the wait. I also loved his interactions with his family, finding them all very laid back and supportive of one another.

This probably sounds weird, but I thought Ronnie was similar to Mary in the first book. Kind of a ‘me against the world’ attitude going on. When the story starts, Ronnie came off tough, with a big chip on her shoulder, and no...I didn’t really like her, but I wanted to know what made her tick! She turned out to be a funny, empathetic, protective, sweet, brash, and yes, very temperamental chick with a lot of emotional baggage. In the scheme of things, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I grew to like her.

The transporting jobs Jack and Ronnie took gave these two plenty of time for heartfelt conversations since they were stuck in a car for periods of time, yet being cooped together also flamed their attraction. The push and pull stoked the anticipation because Ronnie refused to act on it and Jack respected her space, biding his time until she felt ready. No worries, since Foster delivered blistering hot yet sweetly tender love scenes!

Overall, I liked this entry more then the first book. Jack and Ronnie had chemistry from the start and I liked how things stewed and built up between them, establishing the emotional intimacy. It made their reactions believable and had me vested in the outcome of their relationship. And I can’t forget about Howler, Brodie’s lovable rescue mutt! He was just the sweetest thing with his bottomless pit of a stomach and his mothering-hen tendencies towards Peanut!

Book two in the Road to Love series, Slow Ride can be read by itself. Brodie, Jack, and Charlotte (her story will be book three) are the connecting characters and each story/romance stands on its own.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Slow Ride was a very nice slow romance, and I really appreciated that. Both because Ronnie had been through so much she didn't believe in love anymore, and because Jack was so patient. He just knew waiting was going to be worth it!

The suspense elements worked really well, too, and I have to say my heart almost beat out of my body there for a while!

Slow Ride is book 2 in the Road to Love series and it was an enjoyable read. This is Jack Crews and Ronnie Ashford’s story. Ronnie has had a difficult life that has made her very standoffish and not trusting of anyone. We meet Jack in Brodie’s story in Driven to Distraction, he is the complete opposite of Ronnie. He is charming and down to earth. From the first meeting, the attraction was evident. Unfortunately, Ronnie was only looking for one night and not looking for more. Things get a bit more complicated when Ronnie finally finds out Jack’s name. He happens to be the person she is supposed to convince to not take the contract from her bosses. For Ronnie their night was over and the promise of an amazing night was also completely over. A confused Jack, however, sees nothing wrong with working together and also continuing on with their attraction. The next morning, Jack convinces her to give him a chance with the job, when danger surrounds Ronnie, she finally realizes she actually may need him. During each job, Jack starts to slowly break down Ronnie’s walls and they get to know each other. We learn Ronnie’s history and start to understand why she is the way she is. Ronnie starts to confide in Jack and starts to enjoy the camaraderie between the two. As to the rest of the book, the action, mystery and suspense portion definitely kept me on my toes.

To be honest, I really had a difficult time with Ronnie’s character in the beginning, I actually did not like her at all. She came across as too brash and bit on the crude side. But as we get to know her and her history, you start to understand her a bit more. And you can’t forget how she is with little Peanut. Lori Foster writes such wonderful four-legged characters!! As for Jack, he had so many facets to his personality. When Ronnie first met him, he was dressed like a construction worker, rugged and rough around the edges. The very next day he’s the polished business man, who is nauseatingly nice all the time. But once protective Jack is unleashed, watch out, he is sexy as all get out! I definitely started to enjoy the book more as Ronnie began her healing process with Jack. I loved that what Jack did for Ronnie was allowing her to finally feel.

I also really had a difficult time with my rating, I was really close to the 3 to 3.5 star mark but seeing the warmer side of Ronnie, especially with Howler and Peanut, I found it to be more of a 4-star rating.

All in all, this was enjoyable and I really am looking forward to Charlotte’s book.

I received an ARC of Slow Ride from NetGalley, and this is my honest review.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book, yet another great book by Lori. I highly recommend it to everyone.
