Wilder; Ryder Ranch #2
(A standalone within a series)
Publication Date: August 26, 2021
Genre/Tropes: Contemporary/Second Chance Romance
Author: Anna Brooks
Review/Synopsis:
A steamy, multiple chance love story, that began as young love and blossomed into a forever kind of love.
Wilder Ryder and Frankie Young met multiple times throughout their youth and those times had a lasting impact on who they became and who they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with into their adulthood.
These two crossed paths over and over and seemed destined to be together, but obstacles keep getting in their way. They have HUGE chemistry together and Wilder is hawt…dang…he’s super hot, but is attraction enough to keep them together?
I felt like this second Ryder book is deeper in the feels, but that could be the artist nature of Frankie and the sensitive nature of Wilder. As the second child he’s very in tune to his siblings and losing his mother affected them all, but that loss made him dialed in to his feelings and then up front to what he wasn’t willing to lose in the future. However, when he let go, which there was only one spot he actually let go…watch out because Wilder is Wild.
Frankie also took on a lot of responsibility at a very young age. Her sister got pregnant very young and Frankie stepped up and helped out raising her niece, but she never lost her shine and started a business, all at the suggestion of a young boy she met long ago.
These two are magical everytime they are together and I love returning to Ryder Ranch to see old friends and meet new ones.
Synopsis:
I was too young to understand the beauty of what I held in my arms when she crashed into my world.
Frankie Young was never far from my mind, so when she came back into my life after nearly a decade, it was as if no time had passed.
After we reconnected in more ways than one, there was no denying what we had was extraordinary and, I thought, forever. But when she discovered something I’d been hiding, she gave up on us without giving me a chance to explain.
My lies broke her heart, but her walking away shattered what was left of mine. I thought that was the end for us… until Frankie and I found ourselves bound together for life. While we navigated our new found destiny, not only did we have to fight for each other, but we had to protect our future from someone who didn’t want us to have one together.
