He’s the best man and I’m the maid of honor at our best friends’ wedding. They both warned us off each other. Together, we’re dynamite. How long till we get burned?
All my life, I thought I was the wild one, but little did I know someday I would meet my match. His name, Tucker Philips. Fun fact, he’s Chicago’s number one womanizer. And as of recently, my kryptonite.
The first time I lay eyes on him was at our best friends’ bachelor/bachelorette party. Minutes after I swore I was done with men. FOREVER.
Yes, I wanted nothing to do with the one species who manipulated and broke my heart multiple times in the past anymore. Been there. Done that.
Until he happened. And wreaked havoc all my plans.
And surprise, life also has its own plans ready for us. Very specific plans neither of us saw coming. And that could mess with our seemingly perfect lives.
As our friendship blossoms, Tucker decides we should be together. For real. No more games. No more hiding our relationship from our friends. One problem, though. With my dating history, I’m not ready to give in and let the attraction we share consume me.
No matter how cocky as hell he is or handsome and devilish he looks in his tailor suits, I won’t listen to my traitorous heart. I know his type. And it spells “trouble” in big bold letters.Between us, Tucker Philips isn’t the only wild one, and I can hold my own.
I’m about to show him I won’t fall for his ways, because I master the game too.If he wants a chance, he’ll have to play by my rules too.
Can Tucker follow up with me, or will he declare game over before our relationship has even started?
After reading a few books in the Carter Hills series, I definitely wanted to read more books by this author. So when I received an ARC of ‘Wild and Country’ I got super excited and started reading as soon as possible. This book is a standalone in the Carter Hills series, but I would read them in order to get the best experience.
In ‘Wild and Country’ we read the story of Tucker and Addison. Their best friends are getting married and since they are the best man and the maid of honor, Tucker and Addison are forced to spend time together. After they meet there is this instant attraction between them. But after getting her heart broken, Addison definitely plans to stay far away from ‘womanizer’ Tucker. But the more they talk, the more they learn they aren’t so different at all.
The two main characters Tucker and Addison where definitely fun to get to know. Especially in the beginning they totally made me laugh. Both Tucker and Addison are known for their ‘wildness’ and their interactions where really fun. I especially loved Tucker’s character. Sure, in the beginning he seemed like this total womanizer but the more you get to know him, the more you’ll learn there is so much more to his character.
Although I loved the two main characters, this book definitely leaves me with very mixed feelings. I had fun, but I definitely thought this book was a bit rushed and at times too slow. It’s hard to explain without revealing too much.. But I just thought the author put too many elements into this one book. Don’t get me wrong, it didn’t make this a bad read.. Not at all. But it made me want to skip a few pages at times.
But the romance and chemistry between Tucker and Addison was great. Which made me keep on going. And there where definitely some pretty intense and hot moments in this read. I also enjoyed reading a little bit about the main characters from the previous book as well. Overall this was an enjoyable read.
