Review: Wild About This Series!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Trick Henley was my first fictional cowboy crush. But.... I also fell hard for his best friend Rusty Catron. Whereas Trick and Cami were the star-crossed, Romeo and Juliet-esque couple that had me on the edge of my seat, Rusty and Jenna, Cami's best friend, were the wild cards, the couple who had my giggling and hoping I would eventually get their story.Wild Child is their story. And while I was initially bummed that they were getting a novella and not a full-length novel, I will say that Leighton did her characters justice. Wild Child is a story that I felt had two completely different, but both very thorough, sides. The first half read like an Epic Bout of Foreplay; a seduction, full of sexy, fun moments and intense chemistry between Rusty and Jenna. That first half of Wild Child? It gave me a seriously wicked case of hot flashes.The second half, though, was more emotional. That half of Wild Child delved into the issues that hold Rusty back, keep him from moving toward a future with Jenna. It's about betrayal and insecurity, fear and hesitation. By the same turn, Jenna must wade through her uncertain future with Rusty. Whether she can -or should - hang her star around a man who will never give her what she needs, full-throttle love and devotion.Wild Child was a big story in a short space. We get moments of sweetness, especially revolving around Trick and Cami. There are moments full of naughty, naughty fun, courtesy of Rusty and Jenna. There are moments of tension and heartbreak, and an event that changed everything. Wild Child also provides an excellent set-up for the next book in the series, Some Like It Wild. Wild Child is a story that not only fits within The Wild Ones series, it enhances it. A great novella.
