Did you see that J.H. Croix released a new book yesterday? It's true! Wild With You is the first book in a brand new firefighter series!
In Wild With You, we meet Graham and Madison. Graham is a firefighter who is also a single dad to a teenager, and he lives in a small Alaskan town. On his way back to town, Graham stops at the gas station, and it is there that he meets Madison for the first time. Madison is currently driving from Houston Texas to a small town in Alaska. Her life has been flipped upside down, and her parents are pressuring her to do something she won't. Now it is just her and her dog, and they are about to start fresh at her Grandpa's house. He left it to her when he died, and it just seems like a sign for the next chapter. At the gas station, she is trying to get her dog back in the car when he runs toward a moose. Thankfully someone stops and helps her out, and her dog is unharmed. While talking to Graham, Madison feels that spark. That spark that tells you something good is about to happen, and that there is something about this man standing aside her, that is going to change everything. Madison returns to her car, and begins the drive to the hotel. Who is her neighbor at the hotel? Graham. Who does she share a smoking hot kiss with? Graham. Thinking she'll never see him again, Madison heads on her way to her new house. When there's a knock at the door, Madison is in for a shock!
I loved this book. I know I say that a lot about the books I read, but it's just true. From the moment the book started, and we started to get to know Madison, I was intrigued. Then with that meet cute at the gas station, I was sold. When that kiss happened at the hotel? I knew I would not be able to put my kindle down until the story was over! Every single step along the way just had me falling harder for these two. Then there is the setting of the book, and oh my word does this town sounds adorable. I love small town romances, and so I shouldn't be surprised that I fell for this location. From Graham's profession, to the way he cares for his daughter, to the people he surrounds himself with, even to his ex, all of that formed who he is. And quite frankly he's an amazing man. Strong, protective, supportive, caring, passionate, all describes who he is. Madison is a strong woman, who is capable of doing hard things, and also wears her heart on her sleeve. She is caring, compassionate, intelligent, and is willing to put her foot down when necessary. I loved the connection that Allie and Madison had. I loved how Madison acclimated to town easily, and found herself a group of friends who will care about her. The only thing I wish had been different was the point of conflict for Madison and Graham. I wish that it hadn't been the situation with Allie that drove the wedge. Part of me thinks it would have been more powerful if it had been Alison or Madison's parents at the center of it all. I guess I just don't like it when kids are the reason behind the conflict. But that's just me. I will say that I am anticipating the next book, Hold Me Now, as I feel that is being set up nicely between Paisley and Russell.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts,

All bets are off when a hotshot firefighter and a homecoming queen whose crown slipped off meet in the wilds of Alaska.
I don’t have time for romance, much less for prissy Madison Glen. The first time I meet her, I kiss her. The second time I meet her, she's breaking into my neighbor's house. She swears up and down she’s not a criminal. Maybe not, but she is definitely a distraction I don’t need.
I’ve got my hands full with my mouthy daughter and an insanely busy life as a hotshot firefighter. It doesn’t surprise me at all to learn Madison was homecoming queen in high school.
She’s stubborn, impractical, and she’d win the contest for least-likely to survive in small town Alaska. She’s also sultry and sassy. She’s everything I don’t need. It doesn’t matter what I tell myself though. I can’t keep my hands to myself when she’s around, and she kisses like a dream.
Graham & Madison’s story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, hotshot firefighters, alpha heroes, sassy heroines, frenemies to lovers, hate to love, opposites attract, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of steam and swoon, and a deeply protective grumpy hero.
