Description

The Wilder brothers have retired from the military and as they’re forced to learn a new life, things get interesting fast in this kickoff to a brand new steamy, contemporary romance series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan.

One dance at a stranger’s wedding. That’s all it took for me to fall for Alexis.
And then? Disaster. Another man—her boyfriend—gets down on one knee and proposes to her.
I never thought I’d see her again.
Years later, I’m in desperate need of a wedding planner—not for myself, but for my company.
My five brothers and I need to get our new Wilder Resort off the ground, and Alexis is the only one savvy enough to help us.
But there’s the little matter that I still have it bad for her. Alexis has changed since the night we met. She’s gun shy. But there’s a spark between us that will not die. We both fight it, until we don’t.
Until history repeats itself. The same guy who took her away from me is back to do more damage. But this time he’ll have to go through me to get her.

My brain hurt reading this rubbish

I’m not even sure what the heck this was. It was repetitive and the writing was horrendous. I’ve read better stories from 5th graders. I couldn’t even finish it. Don’t waste your time please.
Another Winner from Carrie Ann Ryan!

Great chemistry between Alexis and Eli, the couple that met years ago. He saw the proposal- now she’s divorced and looking for a job. Second chances are hot in this book! Eli and Alexis work together to get weddings and events booked at his ranch. Mix it with his brothers, ex sister in law, a crazy ex husband and there are literal sparks! Don’t miss reading this book!!

I enjoyed the direct manner of the major characters, as well as their banter. This was entertaining, as a romance. And there is some comedy. There’s an emphasis on the warmth and security of family, while acknowledging the frictions which often exist in those relationships.

Foul language

Lots of gratuitous graphic details & foul language. None of this added to the story. Also as a Texan and a military brat, the assumptions made were way off.

When you are born and raised in the military and spent most of your life on base and around officers, the weird portrayal and “I was enlisted” or “I was an officer and knew better” mentality gets cringey.

Additionally this book has too much cringe inner dialogue and actual dialogue. The FMC is 38 and has the inner dialogue of a young man. An event pops up and he has to go “I needed to be the professional man, and not the man who took her on a date” or something similar during a time when any normal person would deal with a situation and move on.

FMC got married at 28/29 and is divorced at 30. The ex takes her for everything. So now, it’s a bunch of repeat “I can’t fall in love, we’ll break up and he’ll do XYZ and it will be all my fault.” She plays the victim on a “it’s all my fault” front for every little thing. It got old, fast.

Toss in the easy fix of security or some cameras, and half the issues they face would be solved. The immature guys doing daddy’s attempted intimidation work are ridiculous. Put up a gate or get security and keep them out.

And all the blue collar, hick, no good, you’re just dumb military failure comments thrown at them? Seriously?

It seems like so many authors now write from the perspective of an 18 year old trying to sound older.
