She’s been driving him wild for years.

The good kind of wild. The bad kind of wild.

But mostly, the kind of wild that comes with wanting your best friend’s little sister and knowing you can’t have her.

Forbes may have labeled Ford Grant the World’s Hottest Billionaire, but all he cares about is escaping the press and opening a recording studio in gorgeous small town Rose Hill. Something that comes to a screeching halt when he ends up face-to-face with a young girl who claims he’s her biological father. Now, he spends his days balancing business with parenting a sullen twelve-year-old, all while trying desperately to keep his hands the hell off his best friend’s sister, Rosie Belmont.

After living in the city, Rosie came blasting back into town like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic. And one wide-eyed, desperate plea for a job is all it takes for Ford to hire her. He vows to keep her at arm’s length. Tries to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her, verbal sparring is a type of foreplay―friction that soon turns to blistering heat.

Ford knows damn well he shouldn’t cross this line. But shouldn’t and can’t are two very different things.

And the only thing he truly can’t do is resist her.

Wild Love was that cute and cozy read that I’ve been looking for. From the main characters to the secondary characters, I loved everyone (excerpt for Stan, but you’ll have to read the book to find out why). Ford and Rosie’s love story was great! I loved the build-up and how they seemed to fall into their feelings so naturally. The way that they went from being kids to Ford becoming best friends with Rosie’s brother and then Rosie asking Ford for a job, I felt like I was reading a rom-com movie.

I also really loved how protective Ford was over Rosie. His protection wasn’t a demanding or overbearing kind of protection, it was more of a supportive protection that gave her the space to figure things out for herself while knowing that he was available to step in and help should she need it.

This book was a 5 star read for me because each interaction between Ford and Rosie made me feel all the feels. I really appreciated that Ford didn’t question Rosie and the situations that she found herself in. He just showed up for her when she needed him and did what he could to help her through, and I feel like that’s what you’re supposed to do for the people that you love so yes, I loved it and I loved me some Ford.

One of the things that had me a little worried was when Cora showed up, out of nowhere, expecting to be taken in by Ford. She was this teenage girl with non parental guidance, who ran off to a man she assumed was her father, and just expected to have this stranger of a man take care of her without question, and the crazy part is, Ford did exactly that! LOL.

Overall, thie book was great and I’m glad that I gave it a chance because it propelled me right out of my reading slump. 10 out 10, would definitely recommend and I’m seriously looking forward to book 2.
