norwayellesea's review against another edition
4.0
Bailey is the baby of the close-knit Hart family. She's feisty and independent...a rebel who dreams of making a career out of singing. She's a hot topic of conversation for the local gossips and wants to get away. Her mother took off to live her dream, leaving Bailey behind with her Father. Now Bailey wants to leave the same quiet town and chase a record contract with her band. But, lurking underneath her bravado is a young woman who is insecure. A talented singer. Bailey believes she's not as good as her cousins. And, will her cousins actually let her go?
Chase is the assistant sheriff and local hero. He was welcomed back after working in Oakland, but he only told his good friend Justin Hart the reason for his return. He's on the radar of many single women, but only has eyes for one woman. Only she's a Hart and off limits.
It is so easy for the reader to empathise with Bailey as she struggles to do what is best. She's torn between going to Los Angeles and staying in the small town where she helps her cousins. There is Chase too...the guy she's had a crush for what seems like forever. Only, cousin Justin is an overprotective ass and makes her feel guilty for wanting to branch out on her own. Chase will do whatever he can to make Bailey stay, knowing he'd never be able to act on his feelings despite her being the only woman to have his heart. He has to keep within boundaries to avoid provoking his friend Justin. He also knows he has to face his own demons if he wants to find true happiness for himself.
Ms Kline has woven a heartfelt story about two people drawn to each other, only to dismiss the idea of being together. It's easy to understand Chase and Bailey's connection to each other. They have an easy, fun way of communicating which makes the conclusion so much sweeter when they realise what they both want...each other.
Wild At Heart is a slow burn friend to lovers tale that can be read as a standalone novel. However, I heartily recommend reading other titles in the Healing Harts series.
4 stars

Bailey Hart has a plan to leave the small town she grew up in and start her career as a singer in her band. Bailey is tired of the gossips and expectations that she is the wild girl who has trouble following her everywhere she goes. Sheriff deputy Chase McKee has bee close with the Hart family all of his life and the one thing he swore he would never do is cross the line with Bailey. His best friend Justin is Bailey's cousin and has made it clear she is to be left alone.
When Bailey announces to her family she is leaving to move to LA, the cousins erupt in trying to get her to stay. Justin pulls out the big guns , he begs Chase for his help. Chase has wanted Bailey for a long time, but he never acted on it. Now when he sees his possible future getting ready to leave, Chase makes a deal with Bailey. Give him two weeks to prove he s worth staying for.
Very fun read. I thought Bailey was a hoot, she hides behind the sass and only a few realize what is really going on Going to have to go back and read the rest of the series. The Hart family is their own brand of fun loving crazy that I need to catch up with.
