Drive Me Wild
Sunrise Cowboys, Book 10
By: Kim Loraine
Narrated by: James Joseph, J.F. Harding, Stella Hunter

Never does Kim Loraine ever disappoint. Every book of hers is one that I will remember and this one is no exception. Meet Killian Wilde. Struggling after the death of his father, his country music stardom is at risk. In comes his agent, pairing him with Jameson Lord, rockstar who is also in a slump. But how can these two work together and write a hit song? Their styles completely different, their goals as well, and now the attraction between them is smoldering. Where does it all lead? Well give this a listen! Not only is this a fabulous romance, but the chance to hang with the Wild Horse Ranch crew is a huge plus! I loved the push pull, the chemistry and the passion these two pour into their music and lives. Another fantastic listen!

And oh my the narration! James Joseph as Jameson and JF Harding as Killian! So good, these two work together in duet narration bringing life's frustrations and passion alive. Throw in Stella Hunter as the Wilde women and it's a hit. I loved their performance together and think this should be a one click for everyone who loves a cowboy!

I enjoyed this book - it has a good storyline and I really enjoyed the connection they had together

I’ve read most of Kim Loraine’s books and it’s already really nice when you get cameos from previous characters

I enjoyed the scene with the barn cat and the horse and enjoyed the real insight of being on a ranch

This is another fabulous story in this series by this author, who doesn't love some cowboys? This story was a very well written book. I devoured this story.

Drive Me Wild was an angsty rockstar romance and I loved Killian and Jameson so much. These two had an instant connection from the moment they met but both tried. I loved seeing these two grow closer with the music they created. Jameson and Killian had me swooning, frustrated sometimes, and left me smiling in the end. I absolutely adored this couple.

James Joseph and J.F. Harding narrated this book in duet and they sounded so good together. They were both able to capture their characters emotions and vulnerabilities and gave wonderful performances. We also get Stella Hunter voicing the female characters in this story and I loved her as Jameson an Killian’s manager.

As a standalone in the Sunrise Cowboys series, the story revolves around Killian Wilde, a country music sensation thrust into the limelight as a Wilde family member. Paired with the British bad boy rocker Jameson Lorde for a co-written album, the forced collaboration at Wilde Horse Ranch ignites both animosity and undeniable chemistry. Listening to the audiobook narrated by James Joseph, J.F. Harding, and Stella Hunter heightened the experience, bringing the characters to life. Despite not having read all the previous series entries, the narrative, though occasionally dwelling on past events, delivered a charming blend of angst and romance. Killian's journey, paired with the rocky evolution of his relationship with Jameson, makes this MM cowboy rockstar romance a compelling listen for enthusiasts of the genre.

Drive Me Wild by Kim Loraine is a MM cowboy rockstar romance that listened to on audio narrated by James Joseph, J.F. Harding, and Stella Hunter. This is the tenth book in the Sunrise Cowboys series and can be read as a standalone. 

This is the first book of Kim's that I have read where it wasn't a cowrite and it definitely won't be my last. I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see how it was all going to play out. I loved the chemistry between Killian and Jameson. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life. I will definitely be going back and reading the other books in this series. 

James, J.F., and Stella did an amazing job on the narration. They really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future. 

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a MM romance, cowboy romance, rockstar romance, forced proximity romance, or a contemporary romance.

Thank you Kim Loraine for the ALC in exchange for this honest review! What an amazing MM romance by Kim Loraine! This one really pulled at my emotions and I felt really connected to the characters. Drive Me Wild is so much more than a cowboy/music romance as it focuses on two completely different men who come together to heal after their hearts have been completely broken in life. The plot focuses on Killian Wilde, a struggling country music star who has hidden himself at his family ranch in Sunrise, Montana after he thinks his music career has ended. His manager, Jacqui, has other plans! She invites Jameson Lorde, older rockstar, to the family ranch to do a duet album with Killian. They bond over more than just the music! I don't want to spoil anything so you'll have to read to find out if they can save their careers and possibly a romance!

J.F. Harding as Killian and James Joseph as Jameson did an amazing performance that had me on the edge of seat and really invoked my emotions throughout the story! The sprinkle of Stella Hunter also added so much more. I highly recommend checking this one out!

This was such a great romance. It was full of angst, sadness, so much chemistry, banter, family, music and falling in love against the odds. I adored Killian & Jameson. This was a wonderful quick read.

I have been a huge fan of Kim Loraine for a while now, and a big fan of her writing partner Meg Anne with other series that they write! I love all of the work I have had the privilege of reading!

Unfortunately for me, this was the first book I have read in this series. And while the book was great, and the narration was very well done, I felt like the book spent a whole lot of time talking about things that happened in the past. And I'm not talking about flashbacks. I felt like I was a newbie to a friend group, and they all had these great experiences lived before I arrived (Awesome, right? They have this bond, this friendship, cool adventures they have been on, past relationship history, etc) except they would kind of giggle to themselves and have a bunch of inside jokes and never really explain the context. They just expected you to know...

That was how more than 50% of this book went. It talked about past relationships, and past things that happened. It was like "Oh remember that time when..." But I don't remember, because I am new here. So that was kind of frustrating, but that's all on me!! I jumped in at the end!!

Because I jumped in at the end, I also had no connection, no bond, with any of the characters like other people would. It feels lonely here on the outside, lol!!

Ok, so aside from that, the rest of the story was actually really cute! I really loved the main characters.

After the death of his father, Killian Wilde learned of his true lineage, and it put him in spotlight more than ever! But for the past year, Killian has been struggling with his music career. His band abandoned him, and now as a singer/songwriter he is completely on his own. He has never been on his own before. His publicist decides to pair him up with British bad boy rocker Jameson Lorde.

From the moment Jameson steps foot on the ranch, Killian does not like him, and is totally in love with him. Killian just wants to keep brooding and lick his wounds over the trauma in his past, and Jameson is really making that difficult! On top of that, his distracting good looks are keeping Killian from focusing on tasks he needs to do.

Seeing that Killian is struggling, and knowing they only have a short time together to plug out a #1 hit, Jameson joins Killian in all of his work and chores around the ranch. And seeing the British hottie in Wranglers has Killian even more unfocused!

The heat and the angst in this book everything I expect from a Kim Loraine book, and more! I was enamored by the relationship between Killian and Jameson, it was swoon-worthy and hot! This makes me want to go back and read all of the books starting from the first one. I have put them all on my TBR!!

Killian and Jameson are #couplegoals. Well not in the beginning lol but once they opened themselves to the possibility of love it just got so good.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
