Where did this book come from and why did I not know about it sooner?! You know that little tingling you get a couple pages in, when you just know a book’s going to be good? Yeah, that’s what happened when I started reading Wild by Adriane Leigh. This book was like magic. It was hot, playful, sexy, demanding, mysterious, thrilling, and put butterflies in my stomach all at once. It was the best Christmas present I got this year.Wild flips between Kat and Lane’s point of view. The author did this brilliantly, as soon as your wondering what the other character is thinking *bam* she flips to their point of view. It’s like she could read my mind. Oh man, and those characters . . . perfection. Wild, aka Lane, was a blend of dominant sexual dynamo and surprisingly sweet boyfriend material. One day he was hot headed and jealous, the next day he was aching to hold hands and cuddle in bed. Lane Wild just might be the perfect man.But don’t forget about Kat. This little lady was a powerhouse. She was a fierce, independent woman but also knew how to play submissive. Lane and Kat fit together so well it was like they were made for each other. I usually hate when characters instantly connect, but Kat and Lane’s quick connection made sense. It didn’t detract from the storyline at all. If anything it fuelled the heat between them and made the suspense all the more real.Of course this connection led to some fan-freaking-tastic sex and lots of it. Sometimes an author overdoes the sexual exploits and you find yourself skimming through the same sex scenes over and over. Not with Wild, each scene was different. Not only in the physical sense but also emotionally. Whether in bed, sweet and slow or bent over the couch with a bite of submission, each sexual moment was its own story. Each time strategically thought out to capture our attention. This book could be a how-to guide of writing sex in romance novels.So awesome characters, fantastic sex, end of book, right? Nope. Did I not mention this book also has a bit of a mystery? Dare I say it’s a little . . . thrilling? That’s right, on top of all the other amazingness, this book actually has a story with an interesting storyline. I’m not going to lie, some romance novels use the storyline to just introduce more sex and cheap emotions, but Wild holds an actual story.So Wild . . . my thoughts? Amazing, seriously an awesome book. Oh, and just a heads up Adriane Leigh, if we ever meet I’m giving you a big ole’ kiss because . . . damn, anyone who writes like you and creates a character like Lane Wild? Yeah, I so need to get in on that action. ;)I can’t wait to get more of Leigh’s writing in the upcoming Ridge (Wild #2) and Slade (Wild #3). Hooray for fantastic books!
