So I don't star books because it ain't my thang, but Holy Batman, this was one helluva read, folks. Kristen Ashley fans will find a lot to love here. Wyllys's prose has a ridiculously lovely lyricism that is tempered by a junkyard dog meanness, the combination of which is utterly compelling. After this read she rockets onto my auto-buy list, and I expect nothing but increasingly amazing work from her.This is me doing an awkward sign-wave dance on the side of the road "AUTHOR TO WATCH PEOPLE!!"WILD ONES isn't easy. The heroine is capital D damaged and no magical hero grope is going to fix her. Still, I loved Bri hard. I loved her crazy, her attitude, her rage, her faults and her passion. I don't read nearly enough anti-heroines and she was brilliantly drawn. And Luke. Luke. Luke. Oh, Luke. I loathe boxing. Totally not my thing. Yet 60% of the way through this book I almost screamed KILL JOHNSON, LUKE while reading at the gym. I was so blindly invested. I was breathless and self-fanning every time he sauntered onto the page.I thought the ARC for both characters, but especially Bri, was very well nuanced. At the end I believed in and rooted for this crazy ass couple 100%While I'm squirming for Jax's book, Rosie's story has me all intrigued. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this debut author.
