Wild is one of the hottest, steamiest, shmexy books of 2013 and Lane Wild is one of my all-time sexiest, favorite book boyfriends of ALL TIME.  There I said it …ALL TIME.  Quite the challenge, I know!The story of Kat and Wild starts off like many other couples/stories in our favorite books but something about them is different. From the moment Kat and Lane/Wild are together in a scene the electricity buzzes off the page, they have undeniable chemistry, even though Kat refuses to acknowledge the buzz.  Both are caught off guard by the unfamiliar feelings that arise within themselves.  I’ve got to say, I am a sucker for the “claim him/her” scene and this book did not disappoint. SQUEEEE!!  Individually each character is strong and a person I would love to know (especially Wild).  They are hot and sexy without each other, bring them together and it had to be explosive.  During all of this TNT enforced chemistry a brilliant story of love, betrayal, and loyalty emerges.It not only his piercing blue eyes, dark hair, or perfect muscular body (they don’t hurt) it’s how he loves or in other words “makes love”.  110% raw, unfiltered, and all in, he savors and adores a woman’s body.  Gahhhhh what woman wouldn't want that?  His one word or simple practical answers are insightful and blatant…and most of the time hot (very hot).  He is what he is and he whole-heartedly owns it in fact he is proud if not a bit cocky about it.  The fact that he immediately gets down to business or is ALWAYS READY to get down to business is only an added bonus (did I mention hot?).  “Don’t make me repeat it” he growled. OMG! What you see is what you get of Wild-yes please.  The thread of what her cussing does to him?? He calls it dirty talk and let me tell you I was cussing like a sailor hoping for the same results. There isn't any hidden flaw or secret about him but yet you’re still drawn to all that is Wild.  He does however have a past, one he holds close to his chest yet he is able to give bits and pieces to Kat along the way which even shocks him.  These facts just make him even more enduring (and hot).Can I just say I want to go to this freaking bar, where is it?  The action that occurs there is sizzling.  OK at first during the pool scene I was like no way but then I felt the “need” build up in Kat.  Totally shocked by what happened next in the hallway but was so hot I.LOVED.EVERY.MINUTE.OF.IT.  The element of surprise did it for me.The restaurant scene was probably one of my faves, not only does Wild….hmmm can’t tell, but the smirk!  Sweet Jesus!The next pivotal (in so many ways) bar scene..oh no he didn't and yes they did…I was besides myself and again shocked but loveeeeed it!The scene where Wild and Kat are walking down the street and see Mia and Ridge being told from Kat’s POV was perfect.  At first I thought why is this being told from her POV?  After reading it realized there was no better way to tell it.  Both Kat and Wild had a realization of some sort but Wild’s was palpable and more than one.Last one I promise, the couch scene…just saying who doesn’t love one of those scenes? Good Gawd!!All of the supporting characters are intriguing and or enduring.  Some more than others like Ridge and Slade.  I want to know more about Ridge and Mia or Amy and what happened.  Or if Slade stuck around for Dillon? Or moved on to someone else?  I kind of want Mia to get what’s coming to her.There are two stories here, the story of Kat and Lane and another...which I can’t tell.  You’ll have to read the book to find out.  The story unfolds perfectly page by page with hints that effectively set the pace and climax of the story.  A couple of unpredictable twists occur or what the reader thinks is a twist but it really isn't!  The story starts off with and captures the feelings of having someone new in your bed.  You know, the feeling you can’t get enough of each other but are going to act like you don’t like or need each other?  This means lots of hot, angsty, wild (hmmm) sex.  This is one of those books you’ll want to read in one sitting however it’s highly doubtful that you will be able to. ; )The opening scene when Kat is flashing back to what transpired the night before had me hook line and sinker.  My mouth dry and hung open and I couldn’t read fast enough.  I love her thoughts of herself when looking in the mirror, the moment captured perfectly.  This was our first insight into Kat.  I love when an author lets us see the flawed side of a character, it’s telling and intimate, and the reader is able to identify with the character making a connection.  This was accomplished early on, during the prologue, which at times takes an entire book to conquer.  From this moment on I loved getting to know Kat either from her POV or Wild’s POV.  She is fiercely independent, strong, confident, courageous, and sarcastic with a tone of bitter regardless or because of her past.  We know by her interactions and thoughts something has happened to bring her to this small town in Maine but what?
