"The Wildcat" didn't disappoint me, no matter how much I initially feared it wouldn't be able to get to the level of "The Keeper." Once again, I couldn't stop reading and the story of the characters caught me up completely. 

✨We might destroy each other, but I'm not going down without a fight.✨

It didn't take me long to like Everly and Cross as a couple, and it took all in all 15 pages for my curiosity about their story to hit the ceiling. The chemistry between them was brutal, the start of their relationship and interactions – so cool, and their hot moments raised the degrees as if we were in the middle of summer!

✨Sensations flood me. Ones I shouldn't be having. 
Words press at my lips, wanting to be said.
Mine. Mine. Mine.
Words I have no business thinking.✨

The characters were built very well without their stories weighing too much on the reader, although their past is not very easy. The really serious topic of sexual assault is touched upon, which, however, is passed on in a light way without the author belittling it.

The plot moves at a great pace, keeping the interest as it does not contain boring or unnecessary scenes, used for filling.

✨"We all get hurt at some point, Evie. That's why the good things in life feel so good. If everything was easy, how would anything be amazing?"✨

I love how much of a mess the whole big family combinig the Sinclair, Kingston and their friends are and that they also appear often in the book, so we can see that their lives continued. I can absorb their stories for weeks without getting bored! And that’s how much I love the characters Bella Matthews created.

Again, the climax is nothing special, I would even say that it is not noticeable here at all, and there was a possibility to become quite strong. On one hand, I really like the fact that the author does not introduce unnecessary dramas, but on the other, I have the feeling that she has missed an opportunity for the book to become even stronger and more influential with this climax.

The ending was great and now I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!
