Wilderness by Lynn Burke

2.0

Unfortunately, this book missed the mark. For a contemporary romance, there are aspects to this story that don’t seem believable. Not only that, but the climax is so unexpected that I felt like I must’ve skipped a chapter and missed the character that it was involving. The issues that Jessie and Brock have with one another aren’t truly overcome, and what’s left is a smutty contemporary novel with a weaker plot. Further, there are multiple times where the book felt like it was written by a man and for the male gaze. Descriptions like “big tits” just made me grimace.

I enjoyed the break from fantasy and foray into contemporary romance, but wouldn’t go out of my way to read another book by this author.
