Certain things in life are absolute – birth, death, taxes and the fact that any book by Angel Payne will rock my world!Her latest book, Wet for Her Warriors (The W.I.L.D. Boys of Special Forces, Book 5), more than lived up to the guarantee of a good read. It made me laugh, it made me cry and sometimes, it made me do both at the same time. I found myself sneaking away from my desk to read just one more chapter. In simpler terms, this book just did it for me.Wet for Her Warriors reminded me of all the reasons I fell in love with Angel Payne’s writing. It had not one, but two, alpha men who were confident enough to let their woman be herself. It had one smart, sassy, strong-willed and independent woman who knew when to accept love. It had an emotional journey for its characters that we could relate to and a storyline that kept me glued to my e-reader.It is Tait and Kellan’s turn to be the focus and find true love. Tait was a broken man after the death of his lover Luna. If you read A WILDer Wonderland (and if you haven’t, shame on you), then you know that Tait is drowning in sorrow and guilt over Luna’s death. His best friend Kellan is doing everything he can to snap Tait out of it but with no success. Their CO Jon Franzen orders them to take some R & R at his home in Kauai. Despite the beautiful landscape, Tait continues to drink until he forgets and Kellan doesn’t know how to reach him.It is during one of their “discussions” about Tait’s behavior when they are knocked on their behinds by the beautiful Lani. I think I fell in love with Lani at that moment. She knocked down two Special Force operatives and gave them a tongue lashing for their behavior. That’s my kind of girl. But Lani was so much more than that. She was a free-spirited soul with so much inner strength and heart that I’m not surprised it would take two men to satisfy her.I loved the different relationships in this book. The growing love between Kellan and Lani was just as enjoyable and touching as was the healing love between Tait and Lani. Lani’s bond with her brother Leo showed how loving and caring Lani was. And the growing friendship between Leo and Tait was sheer joy. But oddly it was the bond between Kellan and Tait that was the sweetest. Whether they were bantering, fighting, or working together to love their woman, they never failed to touch my heart.And while the main focus of Wet for Her Warriors was the evolving love between the trio, Ms. Payne still gave us the tension filled drama that she does so well. A nemesis from previous books makes reappearance and we’re introduced to some new ones. But the real WTH moment occurs near the end and will have you screaming for the next book to be available.Let’s not forget the hot sex which is a staple with our WILD boys. And now we have double the fun. The chemistry between the three may just blow up your e-reader but worth every sweaty, steamy moment.While you could read Wet for Her Warriors as a standalone, I don’t recommend it. Many of the references will be lost on you and you won’t truly understand Tait’s pain. Plus the series is just amazing and will provide hours of enjoyment.After reading Wet for Her Warriors, you’ll understand why the W.I.L.D. Boys are a USA Today best selling series. Hopefully Ms. Payne has a lot more wild boys just needing their own happy ending.
