Rule number one for this book is to not expect the usual Crusie or even the usual Crusie/Mayer story, which is not to say that this book isn't a lot of fun anyway! The authors try for a different (somewhat genre-defying) story in that Wild Ride really is about demons trying to take over the world. The romantic aspects of the book are relatively (compared to M&C's other collaborations) mild, but the story still draws you in. The characters ARE the usual Crusie/Mayer makeup, each one, including the demons, with believable personalities and sharp, witty dialogue.
I wish that I knew going into this book to not expect a typical mystery romance, so at the risk of dropping some spoilers (stop now if you want to avoid it!), I'll tell you a few things to expect. The hero and heroine each have their own love story, with their own individual HEAs. That's a unique plot structure, but it works as long as you're not shipping for the two of them to get together. Second, you really should expect some fantasy elements from this book, but it's done in such a way that even if you're not a fantasy fan, you can still dig the story.
