Wild Child by Audrey Carlan: Review

I have to admit I love a story with a hot cop in it. So when I read the synopsis for this book. I knew I wanted to review it.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, I believe, and I just absolutely fell in love with her style of writing. Even through tragedy, the characters are loving and optimistic. Such a pleasure to read!

ABOUT:
Twice my life changed in a single day. The first was when I lost my parents. Hand in hand I walked with my big sister up the steps of Kerrighan House, a foster home for girls. We were lucky to be met with open arms and a house filled with children just like us. Children who’d lost everything. From that day forward, we were raised as one big family. Our bonds of sisterhood were strengthened through shared experience, pain, sacrifice, and love. Sisters not by blood, but by choice. Soul sisters.

The second day my life changed was on the worst day of my adult life. My boyfriend broke up with me via text. My sleazy boss hit on me, forcing me to quit a job I desperately needed. And the cherry on top, was getting pulled over by an FBI Agent. Little did I know, he’d also save my life that night.

From the moment we met, Agent Fontaine wouldn’t dare let me out of his sight. And between his alpha ways, kind brown eyes, and heroism, I was lost to the man who hid behind his job. But this agent had a rule: never fall for a woman you’ve saved. Yet I wasn’t just any woman. I was known among my sisters for taking risks and dreaming big. I was the wild child of the group. We were raised to appreciate every day as the gift it was, and not let anything stand in our way. The more I got to know the brooding, serious FBI man, the more I realized maybe it was my duty to save him.

Wild Child by Audrey Carlan Review

There are some types of stories that I just can’t abide and one of them is when a female character is just wild, crazy, overly chatty. I thought that this is where this book was headed. But I was wrong. And I’m so happy I was wrong.

The author completely took this book in another direction with grace and uplifting undertones. The story has a lot of tragedy to it. It has suspense and shocking crimes. But it also has an amazing gift of light, happiness, support, and amazing love.

When Jonah and Simone meet it’s under extremely unusual circumstances. But the fire and explosion between them start almost from the beginning.

I just love their connection. The fire and energy between them are simply amazing. I love how they are perfectly balanced and sparks fly every time they’re in the room together. The author hits it perfectly! So much so you can almost feel that energy coming off the pages.

But this is a suspense story. Jonah is an FBI agent and is actually chasing a murder suspect. And tragedies happen. But his protectiveness and love know no bounds.

This book really blew me away. Wild Child left me with a huge smile on my face with their perfect love and the author’s amazing ability to bring peace through the pages even through tragedy.

While this may be the first book I’ve read by this author, trust me, I’ll be looking for more. And I really can’t wait for the rest of the story of these foster sisters.
