Romance and Suspense---4-1/2 Stars |
Ex-Marine Ben Carbrera works with a security agency run by the Wilde family when he is hired as a bodyguard for the rich and beautiful Christy Delacroix. Though there is an instant mutual attraction, Ben doesn't mix business with pleasure. The sexual tension builds until it becomes impossible to ignore. When Christy sets out to seduce him, Ben finds himself weakening.
Ben worries about Christy's safety and is trying to figure out who is endangering her life. Hired by Christy's father to protect her, Ben doesn't want to let him down by having an affair with his daughter. He also has reasons of his own for not pursuing the attraction. Ben lost his fiance in Iraq, where she died in his arms. Carefully guarding his heart, he has vowed to never put himself in a position where he could be hurt like that again. Besides, Christy is way out of his social class.
This is a very good romantic suspense that will definitely hold your interest. My only complaint is that it isn't quite as steamy as the "Wilde" series, (Too Wilde To Tame, The Wilde Side, Born To Be Wilde, Wilde Thing) but this was well compensated for by the suspense. Enjoyable read. |

And Huey Newton said "the Heart of Rock and Roll is in Cleveland" |
Beautifully written, full of life, and the depiction of a good man, Ben Cabrera. That Christy's alcoholic mother beat her is mysterious to the point of unstatment - but what else could explain her initial reluctance to engage emotionally with Ben?. Yeah, I know father abuse but that theme is nowhere to be found here.
As far as Christy's seduction tactics, well as Zoraster said "The heart of another is like a dark forest." We don't really know why people do what they do. Or why we do what WE do. Do we have free will, or are we compelled by dark forces in everything we do? Bill Clinton put it best when he said "Of course I believe in free will--I have no choice!"

I had the feeling I had read this story before! |
I have really enjoyed all of the books from this author. I have been anticipating this book for awhile. I thought the title was supposed to be "Wilde for Him". But, it is really "Wild for Him". No wonder I couldn't find it when I asked someone to look it up at the store!!
Anyway, the whole time I read this book, I kept thinking..I had heard this story before. It was really very strange. It made me enjoy the book quite a bit less. I enjoyed the story and would recommend it to anyone who has read the other books in this series.

Wilde to Wild |
|
I loved this transition from the Wilde family to the others guys that we've been introduced to in Janelle Denison's previous books. I was worried that the story wouldn't be as good...but I was so wrong, and can't wait until the next one comes out! |

Sexy Continuation of Series |
|
This story is about Ben a friend of fellow Wilde boys. He is in the bodyguard business with them and his next assignment is Christy. Her father hires him to protect her from a crazy guy who says will hurt someone he cares about during his election. Ms. Denison always writes steamy books which is the way I like them and she didn't disappoint me here. He tries to stay away and keep emotion out of it but he wants her to bad. Its like an onion each page is new layers of feelings and emotions about the two who just think they only want sex from each other but find out its worth risking it all for love. I would of given it 5 stars but this book was less than 300 pages. I felt she had the time to give a little bit more about the characters. Would of liked more details about stuff. Its a really good continuation in the series and would definatly read it. You don't have to have read the first ones in the series but I recommend them because they are really good reads. |
