I got an ARC of Wilde Nights in Paradise from Entangled Publishing in exchange of a honest review.This was the first book I read by Tonya Burrows and I'm very happy I gave the book a chance.Wilde Nights in Paradise is a second chance in love story, the heroine Libby Pruitt was engaged to the hero Jude Wilde but it didn't less more than a few days and they broke up.Eight years later, Libby is a lawyer and she is prosecuting a high profile criminal and when she starts getting threats and herdad hire Jude and his brothers security company to protect her.In order to protect Libby Jude takes her to a friend's house in the Key West and they find themselves stuck in the house together for weeks and they have to deal with their past.Jude's philosophy in life is "burn bridges and never look back" and as the story progress and we learn more about him this philosophy  makes more sense, a life changing event that happened to him when he was 10 year old changed him and ever since that day Jude's family saw him as a failure and irresponsible person.I loved Jude's character and I felt so bad for him when his brother treated him like the black sheep in the family.Libby is not happy that she has to spend so much time with Jude since he broke her heart 8 years ago but she as much as she wants to hate him she is still attracted to him and they end up in bed together. Libby plan was to have a one night of sex with Jude and get him out of her system but she realize that it's not as easy as she first taught since the chemistry between them is still very strong.Jude is trying to prove to Libby that is not the same young man she knew so many years ago but it's not so easy to forgot the past.I really enjoyed reading Wilde Nights in Paradise, it was funny, emotional (I found myself in tears towards the end of the book when Jude and his brother have a talk) and super sexy book.The only thing I enjoyed less was the suspense plot, I figured the stoker identity early on.I can't wait to read more books in the series.
