Book Review: The Wild Ones


 
Read: June 2013

“Trick looks up and his eyes meet mine. I am a deer caught in the headlights. I am a girl charmed by the cobra. I am breathless and mesmerized. And then he grins. Just like that, I'm his. Whether he knows it or not.” 

The Wild Ones is about a girl named Cami who has lived a privileged life with on a horse ranch her father build for racing horses. Cami comes home from college for the summer and falls in love. The only problem is that Cami has a boyfriend and Trick, the man of her affections, works for her father tending to the horses in the stable. Cami and Trick both feel a strong attraction towards each other but Cami’s father orders Trick to stay away from Cami. Their connection is bigger than either of them could have thought and it makes for a very interesting summer.

M. Leighton is a great author and I am a huge fan of her series The Bad Boys and was excited to read The Wild Ones.

I want to start off saying that I liked this book and it deserved four starts, though it is what I have been giving everything lately, but I feel like it lacked something that would have given it that extra star or half. The beginning of the novel doesn’t waste any time and the main characters are introduced. While the two started off lustful I really do think they did love each other in the end but the first time Cami told Trick she loved him she barely new him. I think the distance that happened after Trick found out about the truth of his fathers death was how they really fell in love with each other. HEAs are always my favorite and when the character reunited I felt giddy.

Overall I didn’t love it as much as Down To You or Up To You but I really liked it and was worth the read. I am totally a sucker for a cowboy book with hot sex.

The story will continue with Wild Child that will cover Jenna and Rusty’s story a year later. The expected publication date is this November! And it is going on my too read list. This will be book 1.5 and M. Leighton announced that book 2 will be called Some Like It Wild and there will be a third as well.
