This book made me cry twice within the span of twenty minutes. It was funny, it was mysterious, it was sweet, and it was romantic. There were spicy scenes and hot guys that the FMC didn't have to choose between. Just about everything you could need in a book!
Gabby and The Wild Boys are on tour all over Europe, and while they're traveling, they take Gabby out on dates one on one. They get to know each other even better, get closer, and really bond together, strengthening their individual relationships with Gabby. Meanwhile, despite everything going so well, Gabby has a stalker who's possessive over the men, and they certainly mean business.
As a quick note, if that ending of the book is actually how it seems... I will RIOT! That can't actually happen! I hoped to go to sleep tonight (this morning?), but now I'm going to have to start the third book IMMEDIATELY to see what happens!!
THE GOOD AND THE BAD:
So first off, I want to touch on a point that I had mentioned in my review of the first book. In "The Wild Interview," editing was pretty rough. It definitely should be redone at some point, especially since I know you can purchase it in hard copies. I wouldn't pay for a hard copy of it the way it is.
In THIS book, it's a lot better. I'm not sure if they got a different editor or if the editor just did a much better job, but it was my biggest complaint (and really, my only complaint) about the last one, so I'm glad to see it's improved here! Sure, there's still the odd mistake, but it happens.
Now we're going to touch on something that is making me question things. In book #1, Gabby mentioned that she used to be daddy's little girl, and that she still kind of was, but things had changed after her brother's death. In this book, it makes it sound like he was never happy with her. Early on, it also said her parents visited her at the hospital after the fire, but later it says she hadn't talked to her mom since they basically kicked her out of the house. Perhaps it was just me misunderstanding, perhaps the writing wasn't clear, but it seems a LITTLE contradicting. They aren't major points, so I'm not really taking away any stars for these things.
I AM disappointed that some things weren't written about. For example, again: After the fire, it's mentioned her parents visited her after she almost died in the fire. Her father and Blake got into a fight, and her parents left. Literally, one line was written about this. I would have LOVED to have actually seen this played out in the book. It's also mentioned that they got up to things between book #1 and this book, like "DP" (in the bed, if you need context for what DP may mean), and at one point (mini spoiler alert!!) Leo and Liam apparently "put on a show" for her one time because they knew she found it hot. If it's their first time doing something, it would have been kind of nice to read about it rather than just reading that "Oh, this happened."
Besides these little things, this book was even better than the first (and I really enjoyed the first!). The Wild Boys series is sneaking into my "favourites" list and will be one to reread again in the future!

The Tour picks up where The Wild Interview left Gabby and the guys are start getting their life to back to normal are at least what their normal is. Then the stalker drama starts again and it test them. You get to see them go through so much. Gabby will be push to the limit in The Tour. Gabby and the guys has some great one on one. We will see each of the guys story and learn more about them. Gabby feels grows more for each men. You get everything you need and want. Plus some very hot sex scenes.
The authors did good job writing the characters and I enjoy The Tour better then TheWild Interview. They bring in new characters and bring back wonderful characters from the past. But like The Wild Interview we are left cliffhanger. It was good ending I can’t wait to read if Gabby and the guys get their HEA.

100% loved it!!
First off, that ending was just cruel!! I'm legit crying my eyes out while typing this review because I was not prepared at all for it. Gabby and her men are going to be devastated when they hear what about what happened. I'm also getting extremely worried about Gabby after the lengths the stalker has gone through to get rid of her. I'm anxious to know who it is because at this point, I dont have a single guess on who it could be. I just want Gabby and her men to have their HEA before something else bad happens. I have a feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better though.

The plot thickens
Someone wants Gabby out of the picture. Whoever they are, they're determined to have the Wild Boys all to themselves. Can't they see that the Wild Boys only have eyes for Gabby? Obsession and jealousy leads to murder plots. Freaking weirdo stalker.
Gabby is having the time of her life despite the threatening messages and attempts to hurt her. Her men are amazing. Loving and funny. Gentle and sexy. Hard working (in more ways than one. Wink, wink...cringe, did I really just type that?). She is adored beyond measure.
The board just doesn't like women or something. Despite Gabby's success with the show, they send in a spy to police her relationship with the guys (god forbid a woman can be in charge and have an active sex life) though if I were to flip it around to a dude being in charge and having a relationship with his female dancers, would I feel ok with their relationship? Makes me feel kind of slimy if I'm honest. Am I a hypocrite? I guess it's all about consent and respect. Where am I going with this rant? Who knows.
There are other issues in the book that crop up for me, especially regarding consent, especially in the sex work industry. Just because you take your clothes off for money doesn't mean people can touch you without your consent. Female, male, or anyone on the gender spectrum. We all get to choose who can touch us and when.
There are so many other topics to think about and discuss in this book: parent relationships, dealing with grief, hiding your emotions, plural relationships and their acceptance in society, feminism...romance books are filled with great stuff. Besides love and sex, there are endless life lessons that these authors preach. I'm so lucky to be able to read all these books.

What??? It can’t stop there!!!
What a ride! Gabby and her strippers keep getting hotter and into hot water. This was unputdownable and keeps you begging for more. But that ending, wow...

Dayuuum what a book, the continuation of this series was amazing and didn't disappoint! Gaby is one lucky girl with all those sexy as sin strippers, but again they are pushed to the limit when they think everything is getting back to normalish. I loved the twist and turns in this story and it just keeps you on your toes, I couldn't put it down! But the question remains, will she find out who her stalker is? I can't wait for what's to come!!

The Wild Tour is the second book in The Wild Boys books by K.A Knight and Erin O’Kane, and this is just as entertaining and enjoyable as the first book. Gabby and the guys continue to grow with their relationship, and the story is filled with love, emotions, danger and mystery.
I can’t wait to continue this series with the third book.
