Leo is the best Christina Lauren book boyfriend to date and this is my favorite of their books so far. The adventure was good, still with the miscommunication trope but I didn’t mind it this time around. The adventure and imagery set this book apart from the others. Some of the codes and math went over my head but this was a fun, exciting and beautiful read.

I thought this book was going to be another cookie cutter, second chance romance. Predictable, but cute and fun to read. It was so much better!

This was a fun lil adventure of a book - kinda felt like watching a movie at times. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the 3rd person POV, but the plot made up for it.

"Just because thoughts are loud or constant doesn't mean they're right."

I've been meaning to read Something Wilder ever since it was published last year, but somehow it had slipped between the cracks of my TBR mountain until now. I tend to enjoy the books this author duo writes, and I've been looking forward to this story with its promise of a treasure hunt and adventure... And I couldn't have picked it up at a better time! This turned out to be the perfect story to read during our vacation, and this might just be one of my favorite Christina Lauren stories to date. I absolutely loved the setting and the descriptions really made it come alive for me. The focus on horses, nature and the treasure hunt is without doubt the highlight of the story for me, and I loved the puzzles and hunt for clues. The second-chance romance was sweet, and I enjoyed getting to know Leo and Lily better... There was some steam involved, but as a whole Something Wilder turned out to be surprisingly light on the romance and the spotlight was on the treasure hunt. Danger lurks around every corner, and it makes you want to keep turning page after page to discover if they will find the treasure and make it out alive. I would have definitely read it in one setting if I wouldn't have been on vacation! All in all Something Wilder turned out to be highly engaging, suspenseful and packed with adventure, and without doubt worth the ride.
