Wild Love {a review}

You may recall that earlier this month I read the Fillmore Siblings series by Melissa Schroeder. At the end of my Love to Hate You review, I mentioned how I was looking forward to Wild Love because I needed Quinn's story! Well here we are my friends.

Today is the day that Wild Love is available, and if you've been waiting for Quinn's story, go grab this book! Wild Love is also the first book in the new Juniper Springs series!

Late last night I finished reading my advanced copy of the book, and while I enjoyed the heck out of it, I also had higher hopes. Does that make sense?

Let's recap a bit of the book first before we delve into my thoughts.

Wild Love fills us in on what happened when the Hawthornes visited Denver, and the "outcomes" of that trip. You may recall that whole scene from the Hate to Love You book. Quinn was introduced to a woman named Everly, and Everly had some rules for their one night stand. First, no last names can be exchanged. Two, no talking about what you do for a living, or really where you live. Basically no personal information should be shared. So they had their fling, and that was supposed to be the end. But Everly had gotten under Quinn's skin. Everly also inspired Quinn's creativity, and he began working on his next book. So much so that he created a new character, and look at that, that character looks exactly like Everly. She also has her name. While all this is going on, Quinn and Everly meet up a couple more times. Essentially continuing what was a one night stand. After their last get together though, Everly ghosts Quinn. That is until the day he shows up at the bookstore she owns. It is there that the ball really gets rolling.

Everly and Quinn's story was good. There was so much that I enjoyed. From the initial meeting in Denver, to the hookup in California, to the random run in at the bookstore in Juniper. Everly is an amazing character on her own, and quite honestly I would have read any book that featured her. Same goes for Quinn. He seems like a strong character who has been through some stuff, and is trying to get his creativity back. Again, I would have read any book that featured his story. You combine these two, and all their geeky tendencies, and it has the potential to be wonderful. While there was so much that I loved about the book, there were also a few things that I wasn't as fond of.  I guess the biggest is that it just felt a bit rushed in my mind. We have this reconnection, the surprise is revealed, there's a little drama surrounding it, and then it's smooth sailing. I guess in my mind I wanted more conflict, and for that to be a bit more drawn out. I was also expecting more shenanigans from the LOLs and the Juniper Express App. I was waiting to see how that impacted their relationship, and the journey back to each other. 

Even with those little things, I loved the book. Everly and Quinn's journey to their HEA was so good. I am looking forward to the next in the series. I'm hoping that Becca eventually gets her HEA, and it's looking like it will be with one of Everly's brothers. 

If you choose to read Wild Love, and I suggest you do, I do think you'll want to read the Fillmore Siblings duet first. I say that because the back story would be helpful. Plus it might help you understand Carter a bit more. Oh Carter.

Thank you for reading my thoughts,
