I LOVE IT!!! I was laughing at the beginning of the story, and at the end. It was a whole load of fun, thanks to the old lady named Maggie! She’s a darling.Liz – she’s the opposite of wild. She’s got OCD – loves control, lists and order. Out of desperation and her urgent need for money, she agreed to work for him. The last time they have seen each other – it was during THE HUMILIATION. I wondered what it was, and what transpired and why was it a big deal. I mean, it was seventeen years ago, why is Liz hanging on to the memory? But, with his sexy smile, and persuasiveness, how long can Liz last before she sets her heart on the line?Ryan O’Hare gave up his badge after an incident. Now, he just works as a PI, following married men who have strayed, and taking care of his grandmother. But when his grandmother decides to live her life to the fullest, he knew he needed help. What he didn’t expect is to see the control freak Liz Garner. She was temptation personified, all he wanted was for him to see her lose her control.Liz is a wonderful sister, and I think she’s almost abused. I thought all the while she was the older one with all the things she’s doing, and all the flightiness Daisy had in her bones. She’s responsible, and a little bit of a worry wart. There was a time when I wished she would just forget about taking care of everyone and put her happiness first. When she finally had her HEA, I was so happy because she, of all the people here, truly deserved it.As for Maggie, read this book and tell me she didn’t make you love her. She’s an old, charming, sweet, and one-of-a-kind woman who thought Liz how to live life, and for that, she deserves a very tight hug. Before her, Liz was living a boring life…The Opposite of Wild is a funny, romantic and touching tale about love, friendship, and family. You will surely fall in love with most characters, and yes, maybe hate some of them. You will laugh, have your eyes sorta wet with tears, and swoon as they finally get together. The story tells us to live our life to the fullest, and enjoy every moment of it. Fall in love, break your heart, and seize every chance you get, because you only live once.★ARC Copy was given in exchange for an honest review.★
