Once again Christina and Lauren have found the prefect combination of funny, sexy, sassy and swoon. Of course, I fell in love with Finn but my favorite part of this book was Harlow. Her feisty, take no bs attitude combined with her huge heart and loyalty make her a fabulous character. I kind of want to be her when I grow up.

This book was good but nowhere near as good as the first instalment in this series. It felt almost bland compared to that one. I still thought the romance was cute though.

This was good and *very* steamy but the final act was disappointing plot-wise because I don’t feel like anything was resolved in terms of logistics and their future plans so it felt a lot more like a happy for now. I also feel like the story about her mom’s illness was the main focus at the start and then got completely left by the wayside at the end.

"You want me just a little rough? Or you want me fucking wild?"

I have read this book at least 3 times all the way through. And it just gets better every time.

This is book 2 in the Wild Seasons series, and while you don't have to read all of them to understand what's going on, it's certainly helpful.

THIS BOOK IS SPICY. This entire series is incredible. Christina Lauren are incredibly talented at writing sizzling smut with significant plot. I've never felt more drawn to two characters before! Finn & Harlow are by far my favorite characters from this series (followed closely by Luke and London in book 4).

- Dual POV
- Kinks: bondage, some light dom/submissive behavior, and lots of praise
- Spice level: 4/5

Harlow - Harlow is a fixer. She's the friend you go to with your problems and she figures out a path forward for you. But when her mom is diagnosed with cancer, she realizes this is the one thing she'll never be able to fix. So when her former husband of 24 hours Finn pops up in southern California for undisclosed reasons, she sees him for exactly what he is: the perfect distraction.
Finn - Finn is the strong silent type. Broody and unlikely to share what he's thinking. The sexy and strong fisherman's family needs help with their fishing business, and it turns out there's a way out. Just not one he seriously wants to consider. But to make his family happy, he drives down to southern California to take a few meetings in LA, and to see his close friend Oliver who's opening a comic book store in San Diego, and Ansel who has just moved to the states to be with his now wife Mia. But when he runs into Harlow and realizes she's looking for a distraction from her problems too, they are like magnets. He can't stay away from her.

The intimacy between these two is more than hot - there's trust. There's intense connection. There's a recognition of something in each other. The way they NEED each other at the points of their life they are in? Their connection was just so deep and strong and it shines through the entire book.

Both are stubborn. Both are strong-headed. But they drop all of that when they are around each other.

Finn + Harlow
fisherman from canada + nepo baby from san diego. 

married in vegas for 12h. her mom is sick, she needs an escape; he's in San Diego to try to save his business with a reality show (LA). they get lost in each other and end up needing each other the most.
it is so much better to have both povs!  cute kink, they were lovely, buuuut sometimes the age gap felt too real, their lived experiences did not match in any way. (way better than mia and ansel, waaaay better)
i liked how they fell for each other, it was constructed, their need for each other
