In Getting Wild by Sarah Barrie, Ella Jameson is a ruthless, ambitious and successful Editor in Chief for Australia's top travel magazine.To her staff and the world, she is the devil incarnate with a don't mess with me attitude but she meets her match in Ryan Edwards.Ryan is an adventure traveller, who has a work proposal for Ella and is determined to make her accept the same.He is everything Ella does not want in her life- a self‐indulgent, kamikaze, adrenaline‐junkie with an authority and a really sexy body and attitude. Now with the sparks flying,they embark on a journey of camping,crocodiles, and outback adventures and it is not long when things began to heat up between them.Getting Wild is a fast paced adventure romance between two completely different characters. Ella was a completely different person than what she projected herself as and perhaps the best thing was her independence and the respect she had for herself. I liked that she was not a damsel in distress and could handle herself well, despite of the emotional baggage she had.Ryan was relatively easier and more open about his feelings than Ella. I loved the way he treated Ella and the way he stood up to her. The story was good but had many parts which required some closure and I think somehow this made the story look little incomplete. The outdoor setting was good but not great and could have been made better.Getting Wild by Sarah Barrie could have been better in many aspects but overall it is a good book and does not disappoint, with a fast pace and a good romance.
