Make Me Wilder

Serena Bell — 2021

This tent is too small for the both of us. And I like it that way. Gabe: I was minding my business. Literally. I promised my dad I'd take care of the Wilder family adventure business in our little Oregon town of Rush Creek, which also means looking out for my mom, my sister, and my rowdy co-workers, AKA my brothers. Now the business is in trouble. Overnight, Rush Creek has become a spa-and-wedding destination, and the new tourists aren't interested in getting dirty-or at least not in the woods. Then Lucy comes to town, all blond hair and silky blouses and spike heels. It's her job to give Wilder Adventures a makeover. Camping to glamping, rafting to paddle board yoga, fishing trips to girls' night sunset cruises. If she gets her way, Wilder Adventures will become Wilder Romantic Adventures. Lucy hates small towns, getting messy, and anything involving the woods or the water-which pretty much makes her Not My Type. That doesn't explain why when I see her, I can't look away. Why when I touch her, I can't stop. And why, even though I know no one can talk a city girl into small town life, I'm still trying. She's driving me wild. All I can do is make her wilder.

I NEED THE NEXT BOOK ALREADY! Make Me Wilder is everything I love in a romcom. Grump small town man who's a sercet teddybear? - check. Polished New Yorker kickarse female lead? - check. Nature, small town vibes that you next full in love with? - check. Dual POV from the main characters - check. This book reminder me of a perfect Hallmark film, but better and with a lot more spice... yes we got some serious spice! This is the first book in what I assume will be a good 5-6 book series centring around all the Wilder silbings, from second chance romances, friends to lovers etc which I am BEYOND excited to read. This novel centres around Lucy and Gabe. Lucy is a killer marketing pro from New York who has some *serious* trust issues, after a very unforunet incident at work, Lucy heads Rush Creek to visit her mom and work on a marketing project with Wilder Adventures that could mean enough money to open her own marketing firm! Gabe promised his dad he would take care not just of their family business, Wilder Adventures, but also to look after his mom, sister, and all his brothers (and also co-workers!!!). Gabe has the weight of his family on his shoulders, and isn't keen on the idea of change, espcially if it means cratering to the new tourists that are flocking into the tour for the hot springs, spa days and weddings. Lucy and Gabe have INSTANT insane chemisty, but when Gabe finds out who Lucy is and that she is there to help his family business, he is less then impressed. This book is a must for any romance fan.
