Book Review- Wild Ones by Kristine WyllysBrianna Martin had a hard childhood, but she is taking care of herself by working in a bar and rooming with her best friend Jax. She is volatile and a mess emotionally but she is tough.  Jax is the only person she can stand long enough to have as a friend.However, things change one night at work when a group of mean looking men walk in when she is working.  Bri is instantly drawn to them, especially the biggest one.  It turns out that Luke Turner is just as drawn to her.  He checks her out at the bar and lets her interfere in a bar fight.  He lets her get between him and the piano player.  He also rescues and takes care of her outside the bar when she is jumped.  He can’t get her out of his head and he starts showing up wherever she is.When Bri learns more about Luke, she panics.  Her past rears it ugly head and she tries to run.  She has to choose and no matter which choice she makes, she is going to lose.This was an intense book.  The characters were from the darker side of town and lived a violent life.  Brianna was tough and closed off but loyal.  It made her character likable.  I liked how the author revealed to the reader how explosive her relationship with Luke was.  It was emotionally intense and could change on a dime.  I never knew what would set them off.  It was fascinating.The setting of the story and the events that occurred were dark and violent.  You didn’t know who was on Brianna’s side.  Those she thought she could trust would turn on her.  It seemed to be her theme through life, yet she persevered.  This was a quick read with a lot of bad boys.  I would like to see the story continue.  I give it a 4 out of 5.
