Wild for You is a sweet, slow burn, inter-connected standalone. I was enthralled from the beginning and enjoyed every minute of it. It was sweet, funny at times, and emotional. Perhaps my favourite book in the Hot Jocks series so far.
This was such a sweet story. After the last book, I had a feeling about the direction this book would take as I'm sure most readers/ listeners did. I was curious to see how it would play out and be handled. And I have to say that the sensitive subject was handled with care.
There is a key message in this story that I loved, I don't want to go into detail due to spoilers but anyone that knows my personally will probably understand the message I mean.
The only issue I really had was that there looked like a subplot was going to happen but nothing ever did. It felt to me that it was there to get the reader wondering without ever giving it life. Or an explanation.
Can we just take a moment to bask in Grant's amazingness? I don't even care if that's a word or not. He is everything you'd expect from a good guy. He's alpha but not over the top, he takes Ana's needs into consideration, he backs off when he needs to, but, he also doesn't sacrifice his own needs. He's supportive and sweet...in his own grumpy way. He didn't rush anything. He handles Ana with care without using kid gloves. And his interaction with the dog are just swoon inducing. He was everything I didn't know I needed in my book life at the moment.
Joe Arden was fabulous as Grant, he really embodied the character. You believed what he was selling, so to speak. He delivered the dialogue in such a way that you couldn't help but sigh at times. The vulnerability mixed with the alpha attitude was so uniquely Joe, that you couldn't imagine anyone else performing the part.
Virginia Rose was wonderful as Ana, she performed a difficult subject with such sensitivity that you could just get lost in the feelings of the character. It was raw and beautiful. And how the performance changed as the character grew and progressed was just beautiful.
