Today I’m excited to participate in the Blog Tour of ‘Wild Spirit’ by Audrey Carlan. This is the third book in the Soul Sister series, but can be read as a standalone.
After reading the first two books in the Soul Sister series, I knew I wanted to read the other books in this series too. Through reading the first two books, we already met Liliana and Omar and I must admit that I was super excited to read their story. Who doesn’t love a bodyguard romance right?!
In ‘Wild Spirit’ we read Liliana’s story. After the adventure two of her other sisters had, and the danger the Kerrigan sister seem to find themselves in, Liliana tries to stay out of trouble. That doesn’t only mean out of danger from crazy people, but also staying away from Omar. Omar is the guy that worked as her bodyguard, and he is everything she shouldn’t want. Especially since he seems to be determined to make her his without asking what she wants.
‘Wild Spirit’ was from the start a book that I wanted to read till the very end. The two main characters Liliana and Omar definitely have chemistry, and I just love the whole bodyguard thing. Their romance was definitely fun, and it made me swoon enough to keep me hooked. I also laughed out loud several times. Liliana definitely has a bit of a temper, and it made for some very funny moments.
The first few chapter where a bit confusing to me though. They where the short versions of the first two books, only now from Liliana and Omar’s point of view.. and although I appreciated the reminder of how things went, I don’t think it was necessary for the book. And it made it a bit confusing to be honest.
The romance and the suspense definitely made up for that part though. I loved the feisty relationship between Liliana and Omar, and I could easily have read more about them. The whole calling ‘it’ the ‘Beast’ though was a bit much for me. Seriously, the beast? Ugh..
I really enjoyed reading about the Kerrigan sisters, and I was bit surprised reading that this book will be the last book in the series for now. There are more sisters and I would love to read their story too. So hopefully Audrey, will change her mind and start reading the other books too.
‘Wild Spirit’ was definitely fun romance.

Heat infused my cheeks as I stared slack-jawed at the magnificent man in front of me. He was much larger than me, but most people were. My sisters called me “Sprite” for a reason.
Standing at only five foot three, I was several inches shorter than all of them. Standing next to Addy I seemed miniscule in comparison.
Only this man was something else. Muscular biceps stretched the fabric of his black athletic T-shirt to the very limits. The hem dug into his warm brown skin as though trying desperately not to tear against such bulk. My gaze flowed down his wide chest that went into a V-shape at his waist. I could actually see the ridges and indents of what had to be a washboard stomach through the tight fabric. On his lower half he wore black cargo pants and matching boots, but it wasn’t the imposing nature of his size or clothing that unnerved me. It was his sleek, gorgeous face. Rigid jawline, slashes for cheekbones, and dark, arching eyebrows that haloed the prettiest deep brown eyes. My own were milk chocolate brown, but his, they were melted brown sugar, searing with intensity as we both stood silent and looked our fill of the other. His hair was cut short at the sides with long black layers slicked back and swept off his face on top. If he were wearing a suit, he’d have no trouble fitting in as a put-together businessman with that chosen hairstyle. His lips looked plush, with a plumper bottom one that would be fun to suck on and snap back playfully.
My blood warmed and seemed to pump faster as the images of touching all that muscle, trailing my fingertips along such golden skin, invaded my mind. The more I took in, the more I realized he was simply the most handsome man I’d ever laid eyes on.
Trying to hide my visceral response, I pushed a lock of unruly curls behind my ear, checked that my flirty sundress wasn’t out of place after my dash down the stairs, and slowly looked up into those brown sugar eyes. “Um, hola. I’m Liliana.”
He smiled, and I swallowed slowly while letting out a breath I’d been holding since this vision of male perfection entered my sphere of recognition.
Addison’s voice broke me out of my reverie. “Well, I’m going to leave you two to your introductions. See you later?”
My automatic response was to nod dumbly.

It seems odd that the shorter versions of the first two stories were added to this one. That would definitely throw me off. Besides that I’m glad you enjoyed this one!
Yes, it was definitely a bit strange. But in the end the read was nice enough.
