Charlee Champagne, a Las Vegas P.I. doesn’t fear much. But, two things do scare the be-jeepers out of her though, spiders and
tall, gorgeous men who make her weak in the knees. Charlee is a
tough as nails woman who was raised by her Grandmother, Maybelline who is equally tough
and works in the P.I. business with Charlee. When Maybelline goes
away for a few days to her private getaway, Charlee thinks nothing of it until tall, dark
and gorgeous Mason Gentry walks into her office demanding to know where his Grandfather,
Nolan is and believes that he is with Maybelline. Charlee soon
discovers that Maybelline has been keeping plenty of secrets from her and is indeed with
Nolan Gentry, but no one seems to know where.

bargained for when he meets Charlee Champagne, a P.I. who might just be his only hope in
finding his Grandfather. But can Mason and Charlee overcome their
differences and their attraction to each other and work along side one another to out-run
the hitmen on their trail, the bullets headed their way and the danger that surrounds
them?
Are
Mason and Charlee’s hearts safe from each other? Can they find Nolan and Maybelline
before it is too late?
Fun
and energized is what a reader could be left thinking and feeling after reading License
to Thrill by Lori Wilde. Mason and Charlee and even their
Grandparents, Maybelline and Nolan are thoroughly enjoyable and endearing characters. Charlee and Mason prove the fact that opposites do attract and they
fall in love with many hurdles and fears of the heart to overcome. License to Thrill is an exhilarating ride from beginning to end. Mason learns a lot about himself as does Charlee. Nolan
and Maybelline steal a lot of the shine in this story, making the adventure even more fun
and captivating.
Family
secrets, passion and action and adventure are written wonderfully by Lori Wilde. License to Thrill is a story not to be missed.
