First Impressions
She's A Wild One is the finale in the "Wilds of Montana" series and I can't believe that we are at the end of this series because I am not ready to leave this family, although I haven't quite yet read the prequel novella so I will be reading that one very soon here. Kristen Proby wrote true perfection within this story though. I don't think I have loved a couple from this couple quite as much as these two. There was something about them that literally just hits different for you. I was so captivated because you expect something super angsty and while it had those elements we see so much happy couple page time that it literally swept me off my feet.
First Line
Its been the best fucking month of my life.
The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Haden Lexington
The Heroine: Millie Wild
Summary
Haden and Millie discovered a sweet love when they were young and life was fresh and new. But when Haden's father found out the truth about them being together, he forbid them being together or he would take final actions and threatened the lives of those that Haden found the most precious and would protect no matter the cost to himself. So he had to hurt his woman to save her. And now its been eight years, Millie still hates him and hasn't forgiven him for the pain he caused her. But when his father dies and there is an ultimatum in the will that he must marry to inherit what belongs to him and his sisters, he makes the final step and asking Millie to marry him with conditions, and surprisingly she agrees to their arrangement. Only the more time that they spend together, wounds are forced to heal as they confront the truth about themselves and discover a wild love that is worth fighting for.
What I Loved
Man my heart just became so consumed within this one here. I couldn't seem to get enough of it and I literally listened to this one in one sitting, that is how good it is. I absolutely adored everything that this author conveyed here. I also loved the premise of this story. Marriage of convenience in a contemporary western.....GIVE IT ALL TO ME haha and what a powerful story this turned out to me. I absolutely ADORED the main characters here. There actually wasn't anything that I even had issues with where they are concerned. Which surprised me because the heroines in this series there has been something that has just rubbed me the wrong way. But Millie is so relatable and just normal and isn't crazy and despite what Haden did to her, she isn't cruel to him. Even in the beginning I understand why she treated him the way that she did. And I have to tell you that my toes curles every single time he called her "wife", there was so much alpha goodness in this book I wanted to cry because contemporary just doesn't have that vibe as much as it used to unless its a morally grey hero so BRAVO to Kristen Proby for writing such an incredible story that melted my heart in every single way.
What I Struggled With
Nothing lol I mean I wasn't a fan of the dad and in how he treated Millie because you just love the parents all throughout the series, but I just couldn't understand why he treated his daughter, his baby girl, the way that he did and it was really so heartbreaking to watch how it was tearing apart the family.
Narration
POWERFUL! These two narrators are such the perfect options and I literally didn't want to put them down at all, just had me swooning all over the place and they really added the right levels of emotion at the right time.
Overall View
She's a Wild One is a poignant but heart wrenching romance that will explore unique facets of the human condition, of difficult circumstances and learning to rise above and find healing in ways you least expect to find it. A truly golden gem that melted my heart!

Recommendation For Reading Order
Yes
Steam/Spice Explanations
Simmering cup of tea---soft warm touches and light intimacy
Warmin' by the fire- a medium level of sexual tension, a balance of sexual and emotional intimacy, lighter on the details in the sexual moments.
Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes.
Blazing fire to the building-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Less focus on the emotional intimacy to the relationship.
