Something Wilder is a second chance romance about a Wild West, treasure hunting, tour guide and the man who broke her heart. A treasure-hunting retreat brings them together again, where they face danger and darkness. Lily Wilder, daughter of Duke Wilder, a famous treasure hunter, left her in ruins. She runs treasure hunting corporate and tourist retreats in the wilds of Utah. With the help of her best friend Nicole, they lead groups of fake treasure hunting tours in the wild. Ready to move on with her life, Lily's last tour reunites her with Leo Grady, the man who broke her heart years ago. In this book a lot of action, adventure, mystery, and suspense ensue!! The narrative alternates between Lily and Leo. I liked Lily--she is tough as nails and makes for an inspiring heroine, but I loved the way Leo’s character was played out. Leo was a passionate and very supportive character along the way and supported every wild dedication lily had. Their chemistry is palpable. Nicole's point of view isn't shared, but I loved her character, and I think she should be the main character in the next romance based genre. Something Wilder is my favorite “Central Love” novel. What I enjoyed is how different this novel was compared to their other novels. There is an edge of darkness, and there is more than just romance, as there is a lot of action and adventure. The plot is a little over-the-top, but I enjoyed it. There is also a mystery and some suspense woven in. I was pleasantly surprised by a dark turn the novel takes. With the lovable characters, this book was a winner for me. I haven’t loved Christina Lauren’s most recent novels. They felt formulaic and forced, but this book brought me back to the reasons that made me love their earlier novels: lovable characters, steamy chemistry, and something a little unexpected. I am glad they stepped out of the box and did something different in Something Wilder. Comments are closed.
