Wild

This book was ok. Talia and Cage had chemistry. It was a pretty quick read, but really didn't hold much of my interest. Maybe because reading about college students is not my cup of tea. I'm not sure if that is really the reason. I just could not bring myself to care about Talia and Cage. I found her more irritating than intriguing. I normally love Malone Squared's work. Just not this one. I would recommend you read it and judge for yourself. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book received for free.

Wild is a mixed bag of romance tropes. We get a second chance, a friends to lovers, and brother's best friend all in one steamy tale. This one doesn't have the same level of funny of as the first book, Wicked, but it's just as good. It's not exactly instalove since Talia and Cage have known each other for years, but they do go from attraction to love pretty quickly. Nevertheless, given the length of the book and the way it all flows, it just works. As I've come to expect from this duo, Wild is full of chemistry, heat, and characters you can't help but fall a little in love with.

Never promise to keep an eye on your best friend's little sister if you haven't seen her for a few years. His eyes aren't the only thing Cage wanted to keep on Talia. He'd thought she was hot when she was way too young for him to think of her at all. Now she was starting college a couple years behind him. He didn't even recognize her the first time they met again on the dance floor. She didn't want to be in his arms, well, she did but she didn't want to want to be there. He'd broken her heart years ago and she was determined to experience all college had to offer. No more wallflower. Wanting to stay away. Wanting to have her. Not wanting to break the friend code with the little sister makes for a fun read. The Malones have done it again and given their readers a fun romance with just the right amount of obstacles, plenty of steam, characters you've gotta love, and even a visit from some old friends.
