5 Stars for Wilder With You (Wilder Adventures #3) by Serena Bell

Who knew pretending could be so hot?

Clark: It started as a joke. After all, I'd never pretend to date a woman just to get my mom and sister off my back.

I would, however, pretend to date her to get her ex-husband off hers.

Now the two of us, the wilderness warrior and the wedding planner, are stuck sharing a very small tent. I had no idea how fast things would heat up in here, or how hard it would be to keep my hands—among other things—to myself.

I also didn't guess how quickly the news of our "relationship" would spread to my big, nosy family.

We can't "break up" yet, because she's planning my brother's wedding and I'm his best man. Through venue visits, DIY disasters, and Vegas trips, we're thrown together, and the chemistry's off-the-charts. But the kicker is, I feel like she gets me.

Maybe that's what scares me the most. I'm still reeling from the loss of my wife, and she's still hurting from her ex's betrayal. There's no way this can ever be real.

But what if I'm starting to hope it is?

A steamy small town rom com from the USA Today bestselling author of Hold On Tight and Sleepover.

What I thought about Wilder with You

Clark Wilder is a widow who blames himself for his wife's death and has vowed never to fall in love again because it hurts too much. Jessa Olsen is divorced wedding planner who has also vowed not to get involved again because her ex hurt her in the worst way. When these two get together, there's a spark of something between them.

To get the Wilder's off his back, Clark and Jessa decide they are "fake dating" but just about everyone can tell there is nothing fake about it. But Clark is still dealing with his grief and the fact that Jessa and his wife were friends. It takes some time for them to figure it out, all the while building a relationship that is just so lovely, as a reader I couldn't help but cheer them on.

I've enjoyed the romances in this series very much, and this one between Clark and Jessa is absolutely adorable. Thank you, Serena Bell for curing my romance reading slump with this wonderful story of opening hearts and moving forward. I adored this story and could not put it down. It left me feeling happy and that's why I read romance!
