I gave The Wild One 3.5 Stars."She laughed but didn't put up much of a fight. It was as if she was just waiting for me to catch her. Like she knew that's where she belonged."Oh boy oh boy, I go back and forth with this man we know as Wild Wes. I softened towards him in the last book and was giving him the benefit of the doubt but then he says a bonehead comment and now I'm back to swinging on the fence.The Wild One is the first part of the series that is from Wes' point of view. I did like this as we needed to get inside his head to learn where he stood on the whole drunken marriage saga. And yes, while it seems Wes is genuinely falling for our dear Val, I was disappointed when he admitted he seen her as a bit of a meal ticket at first. That's just not cool. Anyhoo, what he lacked in tact he made up for in sweetness and we got to know Wes better with a little bit of his background coming into play. He did seem a little bit on the soft side during his point of view, sensitive perhaps where I expected more of an edge but he was sweet all the same. I also liked that he wanted to date Valerie properly and I thought their first date was cute.Valerie's ex Max, throws his hat into the ring all of a sudden, because that's what guys do when they see a threat. I would like to see Val's confidence rise and for her to believe in herself that she is more than worthy of two men fighting over her. I liked the twist at the end, I thought that was the route Wes would take and it teases you for the next instalment. It can go any which way!This is a fun series, the writing is light and easy to read with humour and sweet times thrown in. You should definitely check it out. ~Ava*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.*
