A review by booksonawire
Dark Wild Night by Christina Lauren
5.0
I called "Autoboyography" the older, angstier cousin to "Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda" - it was a charming YA Contemporary and remains my favorite from the pair. The Beautiful series was fan fiction following Fifty Shades, they tried a few YA paranormal, and their most recent works seem to be ushering them more and more into Women's Fiction. I don't mind when my favorites expand their range, but it has felt like they are leaving Romanceland behind, which is a shame because they did it so well!
But Wild Seasons has always felt like their sweet spot where everything aligned and they just got it right. It's the series no one ever talks about, which I recommend all the time. The characters are fun, charming, and quirky, the romance is absolutely adorable, and the steam factor is just right. This series has always been my go-to rec for introducing readers to Romance and those that have read it, loved it.
And Dark Wild Night is probably my favorite of the series. Lola is an all-or-nothing kind of girl that needs to understand balance, while Oliver is just...so sweet and incredible. He is the very definition of a book boyfriend. I never had the same pull for London and Luke, so I didn't finish the series. But I have been missing the spice from the more recent Christina Lauren books, so I will absolutely revisit these old favorites...4.5 stars
