I’m a sucker for books set in the PNW. Add in a cute romance with a side of spice and I am here for it.
Rachel and Brody’s best friend’s little sister story in Walk on the Wilder Side by Serena Bell, book two in her Wilder Adventures series, is a wonderful, heartwarming romance. Brody is considered the bad boy, but there’s definitely more than meets the eye; beneath all his leather, tattoos and muscles is the kindest heart and who wants to be involved and loved. Rachel is Brody’s best friend's younger sister and a very relatable character. Rachel finds herself in the day from hell, with the full trifecta; she gets let go from her librarian job, discovers her boyfriend cheating on her at home in their bed, and then homeless. Rachel is a planner who finds it hard for so much of her life plan to implode in one day. Devastated, she returns to her hometown of Rush Creek and help her mother who has recently injured her ankle. Rachel wants to separate her old identity from how she sees herself now, open to new experiences; maybe live on the “Wilder” side, especially with Brody. After a shaky reunion, Rachel and Brody embark on a joint venture that teaches Brody about planning while Rachel learns to let go and go with the flow. The dates Brody takes with Rachel on are refreshing, romantic, and definitely force her out of her comfort zone.
The sparks fly between these two along with sizzling heat and intimacy. The real world decides to rear up, Brody helping out with his ‘son’, Justin and the job offer, back in Boston for Rachel. In the end, both Brody and Rachel need to find the right balance for their relationship.
This story also deals with intimacy, especially problems women encounter and have to deal with during it. The community of women and the honest discussions about the role intimacy plays in relationships was very refreshing. I admire Serena Bell for not only educating but recognizing the larger picture surrounding intimacy.
Ms. Bell wrote a wonderful, emotional, and heartwarming story that should not be missed. She provided a tale rich with sizzling chemistry, strong magnetism, family dynamics, clever banter, the magic of love, and endearing characters giving Rachel and Brody a chance at love, happiness, and a future neither expected. I highly recommend Walk on the Wilder Side to other readers and look forward to getting Wilder in the next book in the series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
