I loved this novella!  It's sweet, romantic, and at times, LOL funny.  This is the second book in The Wilde Brothers series.  The first bookThe One (The Wilde Brothers), tells the story of how Joe and Margaret first meet and fall in love.  Joe is one of the five, oh-so-gorgeous, Wilde brothers.  He and Margaret have been married for two days and it's now time for them to go on their honeymoon trip.  Unknown to Margaret, Joe has planned for the two of them to go camping.Margaret, a hotshot neuro-surgeon, whose career has recently been shot to hell, isn't too thrilled to go camping--at least not for her honeymoon--but she wants Joe to be happy, so she doesn't protest.  When she discovers that Joe doesn't just intend for the two of them to be cozy and lazy around a fire, making love and small talk, but sees this as an opportunity for a full on hunting trip, she is NOT happy!  LOLThe story that unfolds is as funny as it is sweet.  Joe's brothers, Samuel and Logan, who are both featured in this story, are wonderful.  Eldest brother, Logan--an ex-marine whose career came to an abrupt end due to an injury--obviously has a lot of baggage to deal with, but as is his usual habit, he puts aside his concerns in order to take care of his younger brothers.  I had to laugh at one scene where Logan is lecturing Samuel and Joe about their idiotic behavior towards the women in their lives, when he says "For the love of God, I feel like I'm running a kindergarten, here."  LOL  I really loved Logan and cannot wait for him to get his HEA.  As for Joe, he is an absolute sweetheart, although a bit of a blockhead when it comes to women.The story is short, so it progresses very quickly, and there's not much to it.  Nonetheless, Ms. Echart, manages to create a story that is completely satisfying with fully developed, lovable characters.  I'm look forward to reading other books in this series.  FYI, this is not a clean romance.  There is a love scene, although it's not overly graphic--at least not in IMO.  Happy reading!
