Wildfire by Hannah Grace
4.0
Remember how much I cringed and struggled through Icebreaker? Wildfire fully redeemed Hannah Grace. I enjoyed this soooooooo much more!
During Wildfire we follow soft, introverted Russ an loud, wild Aurora. They meet during the farewell party from all the graduating hockeyplayers and Russ is instantly head over heels for Aurora, who he deems fully out of his league. They get it on though, during drunk Jenga and have a /very/ fun evening. When Russ is in the bathroom for a while, Aurora knows he wants her gone, from experience with her other hookups and leaves. Not knowing that both of them applied for councelors at the same summercamp.
My annoyances with Icebreaker were that there were some really good opportunities to touch on heavier subject but everything was glossed over and the only good thing was the smut... Wildfire has it all! I didnt yeet my book once because of cringing. Aurora is amazing! The self-discovery and character development is really well done and understandable. I could relate to the dad not being a dad and having been in a no-contact situation myself, I'm glad the book didn't take the turn I was kind of scared it was going to take.
Russ? Deserves the whole entire world? The smut? My mans knew what he was doing lemme tell ya xD. I'm glad this book was more than just smut. It had plot, commnication and character growth. Some parts still felt a bit rushed and I would've liked the situation with Clay to have escalated a little, maybe? But generally an upgrade and I'm actually looking forward to Henry's story!!
