"He played his fingers over her entrace, enjoying her quick intake of breath when he dipped into her in a sneak preview of what was to come. She was hot and tight, her muscles clenching on his fingers like she wanted to keep what he was giving her and take even more. She threw her head back against the door and groaned his name.His name.A roar of triumph filled his head. Maybe it even rumbled from his throat. He didn't give a damn. Eva was calling his name. Finally."Wilde for Her is the second book in the Wilde Security series by Tonya Burrows. I've had the first book, Wilde Nights in Paradise, on my TBR list but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. While normally I prefer to read series books like this in order, when I received a copy of Wilde for Her in exchance for an honest review, I didn't hesitate to just jump right in.Camden and Eva were partner's, both homicide detectives, until Camden left the police forece to work with his four brothers as Private Investigators at Wilde Security. Through their years working together, Camden and Eva became more than just co-workers and partners, they became best friends. Camden has been less than honest with Eva about his true real feelings for her. He doesn't think he can give Eva her fairy tale life (marriage, kids, the picket fence) so he keeps his feelings to himself for years, never making a move. That is, until they both attend his brother's wedding in Key West.Eva had a rough childhood, with little security, a negligent mother, and no father to speak of. She's always dreamed of security, for herself and the 2.5 kids she plans to have. After running into her ex-boyfriend in the Key's, she realizes he was cheating on her when they were together. She's also introduced to his new fiance which surprises the heck out of her because he told her he wasn't ready to get married. Those revelanations along with the wedding locale, too many shots, and a sudden awareness of the chemistry between these twe best friends, creates the perfect storm that results in Eve and Camden sharing a passionate night together. Unfortunately, Eva gets spooked and runs. Will Camden and Eva be able to salvage their friendship? Can Camden continue to keep his feelings for Eva a secret? Throw in an ex that changes his mind and a possible death threat and Wilde for Her was a wild ride.I really liked the character of Camden. I didn't like Eva as much but she grew on me towards the end. At times I thought she handled things very immaturely with Camden and had little regard to his feelings. I understood where her feelings were coming from, feeling unsure and akward about the night she spent with her best friend. I don't think that excuses her leaving him in a hotel room and not talking to him for days seemed not only immature but also mean and not something you would to someone you truly cared about.The chemistry between the two characters and the overall steam of the story was perfect. There is a particular scene where they are in two seperate rooms but can hear each other.... I'll just say it was very HOT! Camden also had some alpha/dominant tendencies. Nothing kinky or over the top. Just pure man and it totally worked for me."Say my name."She groaned. "Uh-uh.""Who is inside you, Eva?" He punctuated each word with a shallow thrust. "Tell me who is _______ you."She squirmed and tried to pull her hands free from his grip. "Cam."Yes. A primal satisfactation short- circuited his brain. He released her hands and her nails instantly bit into his scalp. Grasping her hips, he pumped into her, each thrust pushing her higher and knocking their bodies against the door."Say it again.""Camden," she whispered...."Yes. Keep saying my name. I want it on your lips when you come."Yep, the chemistry was hot and Camden was really sexy.Wilde for Her is the type of book that you finish and wish the rest of the series was already out so you could continue to read about all the supporting characters. I liked reading about the chemistry all the brothers had together. Camden's twin brother, Vaughn, came across so fierce in his love for his brother when he met Eva at he bar and told her off. She totally deserved someone to set her straight and he definitely did. I plan to go back and read the first book in the series which is Camden's brother Jude's story sooner rather than later. I have a feeling none of the Wilde brothers are going to disappoint and I look forward to reading about each and every one of them! One character that only had a very brief role in Wilde for Her but really stuck out in my mind was Seth Harlan. Something about this scarred and troubled man intrigued me. I was hoping that he would have an upcoming book at some point. I was happy to see that Seth will get his own book in the companion series HORNET that Tonya Burrows also writes. Seth's story will be told in Honor Reclaimed and is expected to be released in the Spring of 2014. The first book in the HORNET series, Seal of Honor, has already been released and is the story of Gabe Bristow, who was a character mentioned in Wilde for Her. I will definitely be checking out the HORNET series and adding to my TBR list immediately!Overall I really enjoyed this book. As part of the Entangled Brazen collection, it was everything I've come to expect from that series of books. It was well written, steamy, and had a hero that was hard to resist. I always know when I pick up a book thats part of the Entangled family, I'm in for a treat. Wilde for Her was no exception. I'd recommend this book for readers that enjoy friends to lover story lines, quick steamy romances with a touch of suspense, and anyone who's a fan of other Entangled books. While it works just fine as a stand-alone novel, I'd recommend reading in order if possible. A solid 4+ STAR read!Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
