Wild Ever After by Rebecca Jenshak
4.0
(I received an ARC for this book)
Trigger Warnings include:
addiction (past, not main character), discussions of death of a parent & guardian
Marriage of convenience AND hockey romance?! Unfortunately, Jade and I never vibed. It wasn’t that she was a bad character! I loved the chemistry between her and Declan. And I really enjoyed her bond with the girls, especially her best friend. And her time with the team! Jade just made a lot of selfish decisions. Although, I did understand why they were being made. But my own annoyance would take me out of the story. That’s absolutely a me problem!!! SO my rating has NOTHING to do with that! It’s based on all the things I DID love, which was a LOT! Declan is one of the most selfless men I have ever read! And his lack of hesitation to put others first (especially Jade) made me swoon countless times! (Man had me swooning over home improvement!) Even before they found their footing, and were barely acquaintances, they were cute! I loved their ability to be comfortable with each other from the start. For a complicated situation, they make it seem easier than it is. And every time it got more complicated? Declan never hesitated to get his hands dirty. I felt terrible for him so much of the time. He just wanted to love Jade freely! Because of my issues with Jade throughout, it left me no choice but to doubt her and her intentions. Which means when she did all the right things, it was more of a surprise than making me feel relieved. That dirty birdy rating? That’s mostly thanks to Declan’s dang mouth! There were more closed/cracked doors than I was expecting. Declan is my first bdazzled hockey player. Actually, he may be my first outside of dark romance. An every day badazzler! Their friend group is 100% supportive. And since this is my first time meeting them, they definitely did a fantastic job winning me over!
My Favorite Quotes:
• “It’s anything but a hardship to have a gorgeous girl kneeling in front of me.”
• “I doubt I’d ever work you out of my system.”
• “I like doing things that make you smile.”
• “Please don’t stay quiet. In fact, feel free to scream all you want.”
• “Tonight, all your orgasms are mine.”
