Wilder With You by Serena Bell
5.0
Jessa is fairly sure that Clark Wilder hates her. After all, everytime she has seen him, he basically grunts at her or won't make eye contact. So, she is slightly nervous when her best friend has to back out of the wilderness trip Clark leads, that they booked together. Then things go from bad to worse when her jerk ex-husband shows up on the trip with the woman he left her for. When smarmy ex is introducing her to his new flame, she is humiliated until Clark comes to her rescue and pretends that the two of them have been dating, so she can save face.
Clark's wife, Emma, died two years ago, and he hasn't allowed himself to move on. He's always found her friend, Jessa, atttractive but feels awful about it. Nobody is more surprised than he is when he comes to the rescue of Jessa by pretending they are in a relationship.
As the two of them pretend to be together, Clark realizes this may be the solution to getting his well meaning family off his back about getting back out in the dating world. Neither of them are ready for a relationship, so fake dating seems like the perfect answer.
This is the third book in the Wilder Adventures series (but can easily be read as a stand alone). Of all the brothers in the Wilder family, I was the most concerned about how a rom com would work for Clark, having lost his wife. Serena Bell does a beautiful job of healing both of these characters in this book. Each has had a very different trauma in their past relationship, and both are allowed to grieve in their own way. As always, the chemistry that she writes in her characters is just off the charts amazing, and the quick witted banter between them is perfection.
I loved this newest book, and I absolutely cannot wait for more in the series!
