Wild Child

I fell in love with Mama Kerri and all 8 of her girls! I honestly loved the characters so much, the storyline itself wasn’t super important to me. That being said, there is a ton of mystery and a love story woven within. And, I don’t even have to mention Jonah but I will because he is SUPER perfect. If you are looking for down and dirty steamy scenes though, this isn’t necessarily your book. All in all I loved it and will definitely continue the series. Great author!

Couldn’t make myself finish.

Great read❣️I loved every exciting surprise in this book. Kept me up all night. Good writing.

Captivating from beginning to end!

Hooked since the very beginning of this book! I loved Simone & Jonah her FBI hottie’s story. It had me laughing, crying and in suspense. I can’t wait to read all of her sister’s stories.

Love the book I read it in 2 days. I couldn’t put it down.

This book was absolutely amazing!!! I started it on a Saturday night and finished it the following day. The story pulled at my heart strings throughout. I felt for each one of these characters in different ways. It broke my heart when Tabitha made a selfless decision but I loved her so much for it. I can’t wait to read more about the sisters and what their futures hold.

WHAT A WILD RIDE! This was my first read from Audrey and I really didn’t know what to expect but the suspense and guessing from this book kept me so enthralled that I am so excited for the next installment in this series and read this book so quickly! Simone grew up in a foster home full of other girls where they banded together as a family with the woman who raised them all. On the way home after a horrible day where she quit her job, she gets pulled over by a FBI agent Jonah and it turns out someone was hiding in the trunk of her car and after shooting at them he gets away. It turns out that the shooter is actually a notorious serial killer that the FBI has been hunting down. The initial chemistry and attraction between Jonah and Simone continues throughout the storyline and they decide to take the chance of following their feelings, but with a serial killer on the loose it gets personal quickly. After multiple bodies close to both Simone and Jonah taunting them and straining their budding relationship and a kidnapping on top of it all, it ends somewhat abruptly although full circle. This was a wild ride of a book and I can’t wait for the next installment to see how things are going for Simone’s sister as a survivor. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I'm not typically a cover person in that I hardly ever choose my reads based on what's on the front of a book. Something, though, about the cover for WILD CHILD by Audrey Carlan just called to me, and I found myself signing up to read a book that I thought might not actually resonate with me. I'm happy to say that this is not the case. From the cover and the description of the book, I thought that Simone might be too young, too flighty, too, well, too flaky, frankly, to keep my interest. As a woman of a certain age, the New Adult sub-genre doesn't always work for me. But what I found was a smart, quirky, wide open young woman, one that is pretty near impossible to dislike. What you see is what you get with Simone, which is true of the whole gaggle of sisters that Mama Kerri raised. She speaks her mind, she goes after what she wants, she just generally embraces life, with all of its ups and downs, with arms wide open. I am convinced that FBI Agent Jonah Fontaine had absolutely no clue what he was in for when he and Simone met. And, try as he might, there's just no resisting her, because the chemistry here is blazing. Laughter, heartbreak, suspense, passion, and an abundance of love make up the landscape of WILD CHILD. These characters have by no means had an easy time of things, and there is plenty of action keeping things bumping right along, and all of this together make this one book that I'm really glad that I took a chance on. Audrey Carlan has done such a great job with this book that I can't wait for the rest of the sisters (did I mention that there are lots of them?) to get their stories, too. Grab this one and enjoy. ❤️

I am normally a sucker for a good romance but with this one, it feels like the writer is writing solely for the purpose of moving her story along. A lot of the things that happen are choppy and need more finessing. It’s a good start but I think it needs a little work.
