Blurb/Summary:

Katrina Jamieson didn't have time for a man in her life, much less a cowboy. She's not about to give up her career as a fighter pilot for anything. Zipping amongst the clouds at 40,000 feet is her dream and being the best pilot the Force has ever seen, encompasses her days.

Justin Wilder, cattle rancher and all around gorgeous hunk, doesn't need the feisty Katrina in the middle of his world. He does just fine, thank you very much, taking care of his cows and building his ranch, but he can't seem to forget her after she slams her brand new, Mustang GT 500 KR into the side of his truck.

When their worlds collide, sparks fly and these two are so hot, skin sizzles when they touch. Can their attraction stand the test of time or will it burn out faster than the afterburners of her jet?

Review:

Book three in the Wild Series by Sandy Sullivan lacked the emotional intensity of the first two books.


The characters were well developed and the plot keeps the reader turning the pages, but the story felt forced at times. I was disappointed that there was not as much connection and interaction between the Wilder family members that made the first two so charming.

The story was set in a different state. Ms. Sullivan tried incorporating family in by having the younger sister come for a visit but Abby is the gel that holds the series together.

Blurb/Summary:

Can she let him back into her life for the sake of their daughter?Wyatt knew he would return to Laramie when he finally finished school. He never stopped loving Jamie, but she pushed him away and insisted she didn’t love him. He wasn’t sure he could forgive her for shutting him out of their daughter’s life. When they come face-to-face again, he can’t walk away, not from Jamie nor from his daughter.Will they be able to get past the disappointments and tears to rekindle their love or will old hurts kill the feelings that still linger in their hearts?

Review:

Book Four, in the Wild Series is as spellbinding as the first two books in the series. The reader is pulled in to the loveable, witty, and sometimes heartbreaking life of the youngest Wild sibling.

I did get annoyed with the child who is suppose to be nine turning ten years old in the story. The child spoke as if she was fifteen years old on topics that most nine year olds would not know about.

Ms. Sullivan needs to recalculate the gestation time of humans. She kept stating it had been nine years since the parents saw each other. In actuality it would have been ten or eleven years, since the Father was gone as soon as the pregnancy was known.

Overall, if you are a fan of Ms. Sullivan’s Wild Series you will not be disappointed learn Jamie’s story.

Summary/Blurb:

When Shyla Smith learns of her grandfather’s death, she travels to Hood River to put his estate in order. Shyla’s not thrilled with staying at his humble cabin in the middle of a forest, and when a welcoming committee of four wild wolves greets her at the front door, she all but runs back to New York City. Nothing could have prepared her for the secrets which were about to unfold.

Coal Demmering and Jacy Roddery are the spiritually appointed mates to Shyla. The problem? They need to convince a city woman she belonged with them in Hood River, she descends from a highly revered white wolf bloodline, and a rebel pack of wolves has her marked for death.

With Coal and Jacy filling her nights with passion and her days with danger, will Shyla finally submit to the call of her wild heart?

Review:

Ms. Regale creates a steaming hot werewolf ménage that will make you sweat.

The tension between Coal, Jacy and Shyla was tangible, and it helped keep the story moving along well. The secondary characters were well developed and the couple of twists, which I don’t want to give away, were will written and created suspense quickly.

There were a couple of places I didn’t see the next move coming and for me, as a reader, that is what it is all about. I would highly recommend picking up Wild Hearts if you want a quick, steamy read for your summer.

With Coal and Jacy filling her nights with passion and her days with danger, will Shyla finally submit to the call of her wild heart?

Review:

The Wilder brothers have returned! For those who never cry when reading a romance story, this one might be the one to open up those tear ducts.

The second instalment of in the Wild Series by Sandy Sullivan is intense. The reader will not want to put the book down until they have reached the back cover.

The lead characters seem to face difficulties from their first meeting, which is case of mistaken identity. Ms. Sullivan does a superb job with carrying the momentum, characters, intensity of brooding cowboys and love of family from the first book, Wild Wyoming Nights, into this book. If you enjoyed this first book, then this is a must read!

Unfortunately, she's still struggling with her grief, and Chase doesn't want to push her. Can the two find a way to overcome the past and have a future together?

Review:

Get your tissues, and hold on for the ride of a life-time.

This is a page-turner that simply cannot be put down until the end! Ms. Sullivan keeps the reader in tears on an emotional roller-coaster of heartache and laugher.

This is necessary read book, if you enjoy stories about hot, sexy, brooding cowboys. The book falls short of five stones, only because I did not like how the ghost of the deceased wife was sent away. The spirit is banished in a manner that was cold and cruel, instead of trying to show some of the love that had been shared between the two spouses.

Ms. Sullivan has a great start to the Wild Series, and I can’t wait to read the next instalments!
