Layla Birch is an aspiring vet and after finding out that her ex-boyfriend Cash took out loans in her name without paying them back, she sets off to confront him. 

The latest address she has for him, she discovers, is his father's ranch; Devil's Peak. What she didn't expect, however, was that the hot cowboy who paid for her gas on the way there after some payment issues was Cash's father himself - Colt Wilder.

When a winter storm hits the town, the location of Devil's Peak means that Layla is stuck there alone with Colt until the roads down to the town are cleared. Layla was due to start a new placement and Colt, feeling sorry for how his son has treated her, offers her a job looking after the animals at the ranch in the meantime. All the while he is trying to fight how he feels about her.

Chasing The Wild is an age gap, forbidden love, forced proximity spicy romance novel and for me, I felt like it was more spice than plot. I did like how the tension built between Colt and Layla but I wished we'd had more about Colt's family background.
