Wilder Love is an emotional, angsty, and romantic goldmine! Emery Rose has penned a book that will break your heart (probably multiple times), but then painstakingly piece it back together even better than before.
Summary:
Remy St. Claire thought she'd given up on hope. Afterall, hope only led to wishes that never came true. But after moving to yet another new location, this time the beautiful Costa Del Rey, she can't deny having that hopeful feeling. Especially after slapping eyes on Shane Wilder. Shane's confident, talented, and going places. From the moment their eyes meet, a crackling connection is established. But they can't be together. At least, not yet. Remy is too young, and Shane's focused on his dreams. So they become friends, surfing and sharing secrets under the cover of darkness. But that connection hums in the background, becoming stronger and harder to deny. They both agreed to wait for the other. Remy never meant to lie to him. She wanted him to have everything he ever dreamed of, Instead, one moment, one devastating decision changes the course of their lives. Now, seven years later, both Shane and Remy return home completely different people than those who left. Remy is looking for the chance to fix what she broke, while Shane works to bury the past that can't seem to let him go. Adjusting to his new life isn't easy, and he finds it difficult to embrace new dreams. Will he grab hold of Remy's unconditional love to help him heal, or allow himself to drift away just as the tide does?
This was an amazing read, and Emory Rose is quickly establishing herself as an up and coming author to watch. I adored her Beautiful series, but Wilder Love gripped my heart and doesn't seem to want to let it go. Remy was incredible. When we first meet her, she's so young, but you truly can't think of her age when her strength and determination show her in a much more mature light. She's lived a hard life, forced to grow up before her time, and the things she's seen and endured have made her wise beyond her years. Despite her strength, she couldn't completely hide her vulnerability, though. With the life she led, she had doubts, fears, and uncertainty, but her tenacious spirit refused to let her give up or waver in her loyalty to those she loved. It wasn't easy, but she persevered with her head high, never giving up the fight. I loved Shane, too. Upon first meeting him, he's the confident surfer dude leading a carefree life. You quickly learn that he uses his love of the ocean to soothe a heartbreak from his childhood. You also learn that his emotions are a lot more complex than they seem. He's a strong and protective hero with a passion that burns bright, but a temper that can get him into trouble. As a couple, Shane and Remy just fit. From the first moment they met, there was that undeniable connection drawing them toward one another. Their romance went through hardship; some that seemed insurmountable, but that just added to the sweet, sexy, romance of it all. I loved the forbidden aspect when they started. It was all steamy build-up for what they would become and it gave me goosebumps. I also love a good second chance romance where you feel every all the anger, hurt, longing, lust, and love between the two main characters. Overall, I did not want to put this book down. I even stayed up way too late, telling myself I'd quit after just one more chapter. The storyline was tragically realistic, and told in a way that we got the details we needed for a full story without falling into the trap of using filler to keep the plot going. I've never surfed and don't know much about it, but I never felt lost or like there was too much I didn't understand. There were a few things I looked up, though, just for my own curiosity. Every word transported me to SoCal and had the scent of the salty sea air in my nose. Supporting cast was outstanding, adding another layer of goodness on top of what Shane and Remy already brought to the table. Jimmy completely stole the scenes he was in, and even the memory of his Hippie Chick warmed my heart. Shane's friends were great side characters, especially Travis, and I wouldn't mind seeing him get a story of his own. Bastian is just as broken and damaged as Remy was, and I'd be interested to see how he found his success and fame, but also see him happy with his own HEA. Most importantly, though, is Dylan, Remy's twin. Their connection and support of each other was a foundation of the book. They had each other's backs no matter what, always, and I want to see that from Dylan's POV. Dylan is also a complex man, made up of layer upon layer of emotion, but keeping it contained. I can only hope his story is next because he deserves to find something good after the life he endured growing up. Something to complement the riches he succeeded in finding. I really thought his story could only go one way, but the end gave us just a glimpse of another possible outcome. It is probably way early, but

Why did I wait so long to read this rollercoaster of a story!

It was beautifully written, and I could honestly picture myself in every scene! Something about this oceanic lifestyle that they lived, soothed the soul and was just SO easy to get wrapped into! Remy and her twin brother Dylan move to a coastal California town with their drunk, careless, and insensitive mother to make yet another fresh start. Remy's love for photography leads her right into Shane's arms after she begins to take photos of him as he surfs the waves. Shane was a career-driven golden boy with plans of being at the top! Until.........the plot twist of course. If you haven't caught on yet, it wasn't a fast ride to the end of this HEA tunnel. Definitely a slow burn romance with ALL the twists and turns! • "𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙗𝙮𝙚𝙨, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬?

The story ends with such strong characters and I loved being a part of their growth! It was SUCH a captivating story that I will never forget. I adored Remy and Shane's love story, all the silly banter(juicy mangoes anyone?), as well as the side characters! Good thing Emery Rose blessed us with Sweet Chaos to dive into Dylan's story because I was very intrigued by him. Can't wait to live his POV and watch him overcome all of his setbacks and fears just as Remy did! • • • 𝙈𝙮 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙡𝙮, 𝙢𝙮 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧.
