A steamy, satisfying continuation of the Hot Jocks series, Wild for You features Grant and Ana. I really liked Grant as a character, and had a more difficult time with Ana, though I can appreciate the trauma that she's had to deal with. They have excellent chemistry, though, and I think the ending makes up for some of the frustrations I had with the middle of the novel.

Grant is my newest book boyfriend crush. He knew exactly what to say and how to say it in order to make me swoon. He was such an amazing guy and Ana was a lucky girl for being able to rely on him. Their situation was a little tricky because Ana was originally dating Grant's teammate, but it all ended up working out. When thrown for a curve, Grant knew the perfect things to say and he really meant every word. I actually devoured this story in one sitting because it was so fantastic. I don't normally pick favorites, but THIS is my favorite book in the series. I don't know how Kendall Ryan can top this for the final book in this series, but I look forward to seeing what she comes up with.

There’s always some kind of comfort for me in reading a book from KR. I know I’m going to get a cute couple and a sweet romance. That’s what I got with Wild for You. I did have some issues but, it was still an okay read.

Ana was in an abusive relationship with Grant’s teammate and he ends up helping her out and they end up as makeshift roommates. I was really loving the set up of it all. Two people who had chemistry together under one roof. I couldn’t wait for the tension to spill over. A little over 50% is when I started to find myself getting annoyed with Ana.

She was selfish and cold to Grant at times. I get that she has just got out of a relationship but so many choices she made when it came to Grant didn’t really seem right. Especially in some moments, I felt like she took a bit too much of Grant’s kindness. She knew what he wanted and where he stood.

I did enjoy some of this book, but not all. I still like the author, it just wasn’t my favorite from her.

I received an ARC for an honest review.

This book was alright, but underwhelming. I suppose it’s one of the tropes that I’m typically less drawn to (accidental pregnancy), but this really just didn’t do it for me.

I did love Grant as a male lead, and could see why people would love reading a book that featured him as a protagonist but Ana just didn’t do it for me, which was disappointing. Additionally, the timeline and speed of their relationship felt all over the place, which was a possible trauma response but still left me wanting more.

Ana and Grant’s story is a real rollercoaster and Ana in particular has been through so much before it even begins. They click right away and their chemistry is off the charts, but there are so many reasons not to act on it. Grant knows she’s vulnerable after finally leaving her abusive ex so he’s on his best behavior, staying firmly in the friend zone, until the night she seduces him, begging him for more.

They insist it won’t happen again, but things only get more complicated and they’re each other’s weakness. Ana is breaking Grant’s heart by keeping him at a distance, but she needs to stand on her own two feet and not just move on to another relationship right away. She needs to do this for herself and it’s for the best, but it was sad watching Grant’s heart break because he’s so sweet and he truly loves her. Their story isn’t as lighthearted as the others I’ve read from this series but I enjoyed it every bit as much. They’re both great characters and I love how the story ends.
