Ride is a competent romantic suspense, but the gear switch, a deus ex machina ending, and a "too nice" MMC left me a bit underwhelmed.
Leesa was just a Vegas dancer at a particular club and met Chase Reese, a cowboy in town for the rodeo and one wild night for his birthday. She apparently saw something she shouldn't because next thing she knew, her boss got a phone call to "get rid of her", and that doesn't mean firing. She grabbed her few possessions and ran... straight into Chase again... who invited her up to his room, knowing instinctively she's on the run, but not sure from what. They woke up with a set of rings and a marriage certificate... They are horribly shocked and ashamed... What had they done? They left town to go back to his home ranch, as she needed to get away, still jittery. They are... MARRIED... how can they undo this? Where will she go next?
The suspense was resolved with good tension, but that soon ended. The complication AND the suspense were both resolved with a deus ex machina . While Chase is a nice guy, he's IMHO, just a bit too bland. Leesa is okay. All in all could have been better, flaws made it mediocre.
