a few things:
hero was raised in the wild with animals who he considers his family
slight language barrier (he knows english but since he hasn’t spoken it in a while it takes a little bit for him to get acclimated again)
TW for death, animal death, hunting animals, kidnapping, violence (there might be more but that is all i remember)
safety:
virgin hero
non virgin heroine
no OM/OW drama

I absolutely loved this one book. I thought it was portrayed so well. It has the aspects of Tarzan and Jane but was a little different. I couldn’t put this book down and would most definitely read it again.

As much as I enjoyed this Tarzan retelling, I still can’t give this a much higher rating like how I wanted to.
First things first, the writing is okay. I did enjoy the author’s writing, although, there’s often times the writing turned out to be cringey and awkward especially during the love scene dialogues.
Th e characters are interesting, however, I wasn’t that convinced in Thorne’s character as a Tarzan. I did liked Eden though but not on the highest level, I also think her character is somewhat a little bit dry.
I also would like to mention that it also kind of felt anticlimactic for me, especially the part of Thorne and Cameron’s meeting. I would love it if it would have been dramatic because I think it would be much more ideal?
Overall, I think this book is okay. I enjoyed it and would love to read more of this author’s books and a retelling like this.

Do you ever watch Disney's Tarzan movie and think "Man, I really want to read a romance on this premise but with more kissing"?
If so this is the book for you.
It was exactly what my heart wanted. Feels like a real Tarzan retelling but as an adult romance. Enough similar to the story that it feels like a retelling and enough different that it tells it's own story and has it's own twist. I am so happy I read this. I may need to add it to my physical collection too

I listened to the audio of this and have to say I really liked the narrators, I think they saved the story for me!
Initially I was loving this retelling but I found it a little insta-love and cheesy as the plot went on. That being said I have never read a Tarzan retelling before and I think it’s a great idea for a story.

I loved every second from start to finish! What a beautiful story! I loved Thorne! Ugh literally my dream man. His heart and soul is so pure. And Eden was so awesome and brave.
I literally loved every single character in this book. Tembo is my fav. I wanna go hung an elephant.
This book has made me shed sad and happy tears
The romance was great, the story full of adventure and action, as well as bringing up the shit side of modern society being completely disconnected from nature.
This book is perfect.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
