Wild Thing: A Grumpy Sunshine Small Town Romance (the WILD series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Jessica Myel (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.8 out of 5 stars 45 ratings

Change is hard, but it's inevitable.

Kara Barrett

I lived a high-octane life; I worked hard and played harder. I was a lioness tearing my prey to shreds. One night of passion led to two pink lines. I didn't mind; it was a blessing, an exciting new chapter in my life. But new chapters don't always start the way you expect, and mine started with a small town called Paxton and a grumpy cowboy.

He burst into my cafe and told me to stop changing things that didn't need fixing. I wasn't trying to change anyone or anything. I was trying to find a reason to keep living. I thought it would be the cafe, not a grumpy cowboy who became my new landlord and my reason.

Austin West

When you are born into a dynasty like West Ranch, your choices become minimal. I wanted to run the ranch with my brothers. I wanted to be a cowboy and live with the land. I thought I had it all—the girl, the house, and the ring. It would all fall into place. Then she left for the city and never looked back.

I may never be enough for anyone, but how I felt didn't matter. I had a ranch to run and a legacy to continue. Change in Paxton was uncommon and I avoided it at all costs. But when a red-headed wild woman rolled into this town, she brought change to my front door and a reason to put my barbed wire heart on the line one more time.

Little did I know that my Wild Thing was not the only change coming. She was the one to anchor me for the storm rolling into West Ranch, and none of us had any choice but to brace for impact.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Big City Girl Meets Big Grumpy Cowboy
    Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2023
    Jessica Myel does it again. All of her books are great, but this one way my favorite by far!

    Kara is a big city girl who is relentless in pursuit of what she wants. She is extremely successful in her career and likes to have fun in her free time. "Work hard, play harder" kind of girl. Life becomes something she never imagined and she is desperate for a change. ENTER AUSTIN.

    Austin is a grumpy cowboy who is dedicated and hardworking, carrying the ranch on his back. He is a well respected cowboy and his name carries a lot of weight in the ranching world. He is turned off to the idea of love after heartbreak. ENTER KARA.

    After an interesting, heated first encounter, Kara and Austin can't seem to stay away from each other. They find themselves going out of their way for just a few minutes in the other's presence. In an attempt to protect herself (and protect Austin from her and her past), Kara, despite her feelings, holds Austin at arm's length. Time-after-time Austin proves himself to Kara. He continues to show up for her and show her that she is worthy of the unconditional love he has to give. And man, does he have a way of loving her...

    When Kara finally decides to give herself (and Austin) a chance at love- she realizes what she has been missing. She realizes what true, unconditional love looks like and feels like. She realizes she is worthy of being loved and being loved well.

    Their love is the kind of love everyone dreams of. It is what the best love stories are made of. It is a biblical kind of love that is patient, kind, and without anger. It is showing up and being present. It is open and vulnerable. It is being your true self and it is taking on whatever life throws at you TOGETHER.

    Guys, take a hint from Austin and love your ladies like he does. Ladies, don't settle for anything less than the Austin West type of love.

    This book was hard to put down and took me less than 24-hours to read. CANNOT WAIT to learn more about the West family in the stories of Knox and Colby!!

    Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2023
    Austin and Kara are both broken people is there own way. I felt so many emotions through out this book. There strength, independence and reservations, about there own future and relationships and all come from the life they each experienced and they truly just needed each other to give them the passion and security to love one another. There chemistry and affection for one another was so cute to read. I really liked the storyline and everything they Austin and Kara experience and show each other, Austin wants to give Kara the world and it shows by how he bring her into his life as a cowboy and into his families ranch. I really enjoyed just reading Austin and Kara’s progression just reading how with each chapter there love for each other just grows more and more, because I mean who doesn’t love a sexy cowboy and a baker. Everything explodes at the end I can’t wait to see what happens next on the West Ranch in book 3!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Kara & Austin!!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023
    This is the second book in this incredible series, and this is Kara and Austin’s journey. Austin is a broody, grumpy, cowboy, who puts his family and ranch before anything else, and Kara is a hardworking city girl, who is a ray of sunshine, has a coffee shop, like to have fun, is relentless in her pursuit of whatever she wants, and Austin is her new landlord. These two are complete opposites, but the chemistry between them is combustible and undeniable, and they complement each other perfectly. This is a well written story which is a slow burn, emotional roller coaster, with family, friendships, heartbreak, challenges, healing, and an entertaining small-town romance, with unconditional love.
    I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

    The two characters are so alike yet so different. Kara is a city girl who’s strong, independent and gets stuff done. Austin is the big brother, dedicated and hard working. Them together? Completely magic. It was nice to meet them in the first book of the series, but learning more about them and their stories is so fun. This is such a great read.

    “I don’t know why and I don’t know how Austin West but I thank God your grumpy ass broke down my walls… because I didn’t see you coming.”

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Thank you so much to Jessica for having me as part of your arc team for Wild Thing! I was absolutely captivated by this book from page one. It played out like a movie in my head and I was amazed by the complexity of the plot and side characters, plus all the events I never saw coming. A story of love, healing, drama, and a whole lot of rough around the edges cowboys.

    While this book is the first male West POV we get in the series, Kara stole the show for me in the best way. I loved and related to her character in so many ways. In book 1 we met her and she was a bit of a mystery but getting to see and experience her past made her a favorite character of mine. How a small community and that ONE person can shift your whole mindset and show you just how much you deserve to be whole.

    If you know me, you know that I’m a sucker for a grumpy, brooding man, and let me tell you Austin West definitely delivered in that department. 🥵 While having a tough exterior, he puts his family and ranch before all else. There isn’t anything he wouldn’t do to protect his own.

    The side characters and plot really thickened in Wild Thing and I was on the edge of my seat until the very end. I am craving book 3 so badly after that cliffhanger. What will happen next?! 🫣

    ⚠️ check TW before reading. Heavy topics throughout.

    This book came out swinging. Kara and Austin are a hurricane that I desperately want to be caught in. Hail, wind, all of it.

    The last 90% of this read had me enthralled. Thank goodness and thank Jessica that there’s another one to be read!
