If you guys have not read Robin Bielman yet, what in the world are you waiting for? If you like contemporary romance that just makes you smile and feel good, you need to check out her Secret Wishes Series. While series are always good to read in order, I have learned that these can be read on their own and you still will get enjoyment out of it (I have not read the second one - shhh - and yes I own it and it is on my TBR list).In Wild About Her Wingman we get to read about Troy and Erin. Erin's friends are looking for a respectable boyfriend for her and they have all nominated Troy has her matchmaker / wingman. They seem to think he is good at getting people together. Well, you can sort of guess how this is going to go, right? Even though I knew how things would end up (or rather hoped), I wasn't sure exactly how they were going to get there. Boy did I enjoy the ride!Troy is a character who has lived the extreme sport lifestyle and recent circumstances have caused him to be more cautious. Erin, on the other hand, is still into extreme sports and is known as the town's wild child. How can they work when they odds are not in their favor, including the fact that the town thinks Erin is going to corrupt their beloved Troy. Oh boy.The overall plot to the story was great. Sometimes after coming off of reading suspense books I can find contemporary romance sort of lacking in pulling me into the story since there are not normally those same edge of your seat, nail biting scenes. However, with Wild About Her Wingman, I was pulled into the story from the start and held on until the end. Robin knows how to write emotion into her stories. Her characters are very well developed and she is so good at expressing their feelings that make you feel the same things. You hurt with them and laugh with them. Robin sprinkles the perfect amount of little romantic thoughts and actions throughout the story that helped build Troy and Erin's relationship to make it believable.While I loved Wild About Her Wingman, the only thing that sort of nagged at me was Candace. I first thought she was going to be a bigger influence than she was in the story and would have liked to see her role in the story wrapped up a little more in the end. That may have been on purpose? Regardless, it did not take away my enjoyment from the overall story and I highly recommend Wild About Her Wingman to anyone that enjoys contemporary romance.
