5 Stars for A Little Wilder (Wilder Adventures #4) by Serena Bell

 

 What happened in Vegas? Definitely didn’t stay in Vegas. 

Gabe’s the oldest. Brody’s the bad boy. Clark’s the strong, silent warrior. Amanda’s the girl. And Easton—well, Easton’s the panty melter. 

I’m Kane. 

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not a bad job. But usually, I’m not the one people are talking about. 

That’s about to change. Because the woman I had a smoking hot one-night stand with in Vegas? The one I should have stayed far, far away from, since women like her are my kryptonite? 

She’s the same woman my brother just hired to redesign his fancy new glamping RVs.

I haven’t seen her since Vegas, but the instant I lay eyes on her, I can tell my quiet role as the boy-next-door brother is about to change. 

She’s pregnant.

And it’s mine.

What I thought about A Little Wilder

I've been loving this series based on the Wilder family. Forced to change their livelihood in response to market changes in their small town, each of the Wilder men have also found love along the way. This book tells the story of Kane Wilder, the youngest brother in the group.

Kane has always been seen as the dependable one, the "boy next door." But one fateful night he decides to break from his usual and has a mind-blowing one night stand in Las Vegas. Only the woman has a connection to the family business, and ends up at the Wilder homestead and business. It's a surprise to all, especially her pregnancy. I adore the whole "secret-baby" trope and this is just such a great moment.

Being the good guy that he is, he tells Marigold Barrymore (yes, that's her name -- and she lives up to it! ) Kane is determined to show the nomadic Mari why she needs to stay with him after the baby is born. In the process of spending time together, Mari sees some of Kane's deepest feelings and abilities, forging a real connection between them. These two just click on all cylinders from the start.

But there is the question of whether she will stay or not that haunts Kane. I absolutely loved the post-partum scene where everything falls apart and Mari gets to experience just what being a Wilder is all about.

I loved this. It's sweet and sexy. Kane and Mari are made for each other. I loved his strength and honor and her view of the world was a perfect complement. This is a terrific romance series if you are looking for something with realistic drama and a melt-your-heart HEA.
