"Wild Love" featured a fast-paced, engaging plot and endearing protagonists whose one-night stand turned into a relationship that neither one of them saw coming. After a bad experience in college, comic book store co-owner Everly Spencer swore off relationships, but there was something about graphic novel author Quinn Hawthorne that she just couldn't seem to resist. Quinn, on the other hand, was a total relationship guy, determined to do whatever was necessary to convince Everly that they were perfect for each other. I loved their steamy chemistry and witty banter as well as the way that Everly slowly overcame her fears about relationships and opened up to the possibility of a future with Quinn.
The book's setting in the small, quirky town of Juniper Springs, Texas was a lot of fun, and I particularly enjoyed the "LOLs" (little old ladies) who tracked what was happening around town through a gossip app. The other secondary characters were also a tremendous amount of fun, especially Quinn's and Everly's brothers. They constantly teased each other, but it was easy to see that there was genuine affection between them. My favorite of the bunch was Quinn's younger brother Carter, who had the quirky, annoying little brother act perfected but was still so lovable. I'm glad that Carter will be getting a story of his own.

About "Wild Love"
I’m not the kind of girl who expects happily ever after. In fact, I prefer my partners don’t get too clingy. Don’t get me wrong. I like a good night of loving, but beyond that, I’m happy to see them leave in the morning, without my phone number.
Then I met him.
Quinn is a big bear of a man, with massive hands and amazing…staying power. Like all night long and the next morning kind of staying power. So when he asks me to spend the next day with him, I do. The only reason I give him my number is because he makes me laugh. And, okay, so I might have met up with him once or twice.
That doesn’t mean I need him. Because I am Everly Freaking Spencer, and I don’t need anyone (other than my bestie), and definitely not a man.
Only…
He shows up by chance at my store, which totally freaks me out. Finding out he’s my favorite author doesn’t help either.
And the surprise that’s dropped in our laps later that day?
Major. Freak. Out.
But, like I said, I don’t need anyone.
Right?
If I keep repeating that, I might just believe it.
Read an Excerpt from "Wild Love"
The door to my hotel room slams open as we stumble over the threshold. Neither of us pay attention to it, or anything else. His hands are in my hair, his mouth on mine, and if I don’t get him inside of me right this minute, I might explode.
Since we stepped onto the elevator, our hands have been all over each other. I just can’t get enough of him. His hands slip down my body, grabbing my ass as he lifts me off the floor. Oh, god, he’s amazing. As he slips his tongue along mine, he gyrates his hips, and there is no doubt how aroused he is. Of course, I’ve been feeling that from the moment we stepped onto the dance floor. He’s long and thick, and I can’t wait to have that monster inside of me.
He tosses the pharmacy bag on the nightstand as he carries me over to the bed—an amazing feat because I am not a small woman—and sits down, settling me on his lap. I swivel my hips and he leans his head back with a groan. I take advantage of our position and attack his throat. He smells of expensive whiskey and sexy, sweaty man.
“You’re going to make me come in my pants, woman.”
Power surges through me. My head spins as if I drank five bottles of whiskey in the last ten minutes. I giggle—actually giggle—but he frowns at me. Before I know what he’s about, he stands up, taking me with him, then tumbles me back onto the mattress.
He has quick hands; I’ll give him that. My shoes and socks are off my body before I can blink. Next, he’s clawing at my jeans and I smack his hands away so I can take over the job. Once I have them unbuttoned and unzipped, he tugs them down my body along with my panties as I tear off my shirt and bra. Soon, I’m lying there completely naked. His eyes darken as his gaze roams down my body.
“Jesus,” he says, reverence in his voice. I know I’m in good shape, but I have always thought I was too angular. Apparently, Quinn does not.
“I don’t think we need a third tonight, and definitely not part of the holy trinity.”
