Fun, lighthearted but with an extremely “close-2-my-heart” issue. This is Wild On You in a capsule. Risk is an ex- Navy Seal who's entire squad took the blame for a FUBARed black ops mission gone wrong. Now they work for the a private security firm called the Justiss Alliance. Risk earned his Seal handle because of his need for adrenaline rushes. So, he's not thrilled with his job as a glorified babysitter. This of course changes when he meets his charge, Addie. It is mutual lust at first sight.Now I mentioned this is a very fun, lighthearted read, but there is a really dark, but factual thread running through Wild On You. You could have knocked me over with a feather at some of the animal rights scenarios discussed in the book. You may feel that some of these situations are over the top or exaggerated for literary effect. Oh, you could not be more wrong. I took part in the protest at UNC-Greensboro, where the psychology department was conducting feline experiments that had no medical significance whatsoever. And the "good ol' boy" network at the heart of the canned hunts, don't doubt that is alive and well. So, I sincerely appreciated the close up view of a horrible crisis couched in a romance novel.For all the lighthearted tone, Tina Wainscott knows her stuff and I was EXTREMELY impressed with her method of writing a message threaded through a well thought out and executed story, engaging and likable characters, snappy and intelligent dialogue and a lovely dose of hot and spicy to top it all off. I loved the portrayal of Addie as a dedicated woman who doesn't feel the need to hit people over the head with her beliefs, but just lives her life as an example. I truly am a fan after this book and will definitely be on the lookout for the next book.
