Strong and Wild is teamed with lust, banter, and pain. Micky and Rhys, much like Birdie and Lonan, share similar traumas that they have each processed differently and must learn to manage in new ways in order to allow themselves a happier future.

It’s a heart-wrenching story, mixed with sex and steam that will make you blush.

There are elements of the story that feel like they have been moved around, which can make the timeline difficult to keep up with. There are also some scenes where only pronouns are used or the formatting is confused which means the reader does not know who is being referred to in the scene or who is speaking. That can cause some distraction when reading so is something to look out for during the editing process.

I liked these characters a lot! I wish we got more of different parts of their stories, but overall everything worked well. Drug use and substance use disorder are central to this book and I think the author handled this well.
