This book made me cry twice within the span of twenty minutes. It was funny, it was mysterious, it was sweet, and it was romantic. There were spicy scenes and hot guys that the FMC didn't have to choose between. Just about everything you could need in a book!
Gabby and The Wild Boys are on tour all over Europe, and while they're traveling, they take Gabby out on dates one on one. They get to know each other even better, get closer, and really bond together, strengthening their individual relationships with Gabby. Meanwhile, despite everything going so well, Gabby has a stalker who's possessive over the men, and they certainly mean business.
As a quick note, if that ending of the book is actually how it seems... I will RIOT! That can't actually happen! I hoped to go to sleep tonight (this morning?), but now I'm going to have to start the third book IMMEDIATELY to see what happens!!
THE GOOD AND THE BAD:
So first off, I want to touch on a point that I had mentioned in my review of the first book. In "The Wild Interview," editing was pretty rough. It definitely should be redone at some point, especially since I know you can purchase it in hard copies. I wouldn't pay for a hard copy of it the way it is.
In THIS book, it's a lot better. I'm not sure if they got a different editor or if the editor just did a much better job, but it was my biggest complaint (and really, my only complaint) about the last one, so I'm glad to see it's improved here! Sure, there's still the odd mistake, but it happens.
Now we're going to touch on something that is making me question things. In book #1, Gabby mentioned that she used to be daddy's little girl, and that she still kind of was, but things had changed after her brother's death. In this book, it makes it sound like he was never happy with her. Early on, it also said her parents visited her at the hospital after the fire, but later it says she hadn't talked to her mom since they basically kicked her out of the house. Perhaps it was just me misunderstanding, perhaps the writing wasn't clear, but it seems a LITTLE contradicting. They aren't major points, so I'm not really taking away any stars for these things.
I AM disappointed that some things weren't written about. For example, again: After the fire, it's mentioned her parents visited her after she almost died in the fire. Her father and Blake got into a fight, and her parents left. Literally, one line was written about this. I would have LOVED to have actually seen this played out in the book. It's also mentioned that they got up to things between book #1 and this book, like "DP" (in the bed, if you need context for what DP may mean), and at one point (mini spoiler alert!!) Leo and Liam apparently "put on a show" for her one time because they knew she found it hot. If it's their first time doing something, it would have been kind of nice to read about it rather than just reading that "Oh, this happened."
Besides these little things, this book was even better than the first (and I really enjoyed the first!). The Wild Boys series is sneaking into my "favourites" list and will be one to reread again in the future!
