So I read the blurb and it caught my attention. From what it said, I was expecting the angst, the questions, hesitations and the conflict that would arise in the story. Er, what I did get was a couple of nice, sexy love scenes, a few emotional exchanges and a bit of hesitation on Matt's part. And along with all of this I felt the unbelievability of the story. No, don't get me wrong. This was a great concept and if it would have been developed a bit further or brought to the page a bit more emotion from the different characters, it would have made for a believable story.Matt is determined to keep away from Zoe, that's why he moved away. Well, his determination went out the window in a matter of scenes. Why couldn't he hesitate and struggle over this? I did not understand how he could just give in after all he said about it at the beginning. Then there's Zoe. She WAS determined to get Matt and she did it beautifully. She played him and used her assets and 'wild child' ways to tempt him into giving in. However, her love for him felt superficial. That she was attracted to Matt? Hell yes! But love, er, nope. I don't think I would have taking it that far without bringing of emotions to the story. Their chemistry did come across the page very well, but their connection as more than sexual partners and their love didn't.If you enjoy a short, light, sexy read with simple characters and an interesting concept Wild Child is right for you. My mistake was reading the blurb and having expectations based on it.I received this title through NetGalley in exchange of my honest opinion.
