Review: NO. WORDS. Wilder Love 

Emery Rose left me in shreds halfway in and Remy and Shane only held on tighter and tighter to my heart as this book went on! There is truly no words worthy to express how raw and gritty this book was. Remy and Shane held me in a chokehold for 98% of this book and I feel like the breath they gave me at the end was just enough to LOVE the HEA Emery led us to! 

 

Remington St. Clair. WOW this girl had goals. Her story WRECKED me from page one and only destroyed me as I read further in. The meet cute and instant bond she shared with Shane shattered my perceptions of the young woman she was trying so hard to be and Emery was really able to grasp the idealism and restlessness she was born with. Remy's story begins while she is 15/16 and chronicles a 6-7 year span as her life takes a turn she would not have been able to predict. Her journey broke my heart multiple times and the broken paths she ventured on while trying to both find herself and mature as a young woman in the world was gripping. The tumultuous relationship she had with Shane before she ups and left also was a huge factor in her story and I wanted to hate her and hug her for what she did to destroy the man who was beginning to fall for the young spitfire.

Shane Wilder was my guy in this book. He was a rock that acted as a beacon of hope for Remy and his group of friends. The tragedy in his story hit me A LOT harder than Remy’s and the way his sins came back to bit him in the butt just made me fall for him more. The carefree surfer we meet initially is NOT the man we get for most of this book and I found the 180 change he did in part two to be reflective of all the hurt Remy put him through as well as the destructive path he set off on while enraptured with her. Shane’s story was heart-wrenching from the beginning since we see the break-up with him and Remy coming from miles away. Her deception about her age was his first big obstacle in this book and then the storm she blows him into when they reconnect was the final gust that toppled the shaky trust they began to share upon reconnecting. 

 

Wilder Love was a romance that left me feeling Every. Little. Thing. From the instant lust and kismet connection Remy and Shane share to the explosive destruction they both cause to one another, these two were not a soft and kind romance. Shane and Remy were twin flames that burned too brightly at first and then were able to temper their flames to work through each other’s demons, pasts, trauma and lies. While I am not a fan of cheating in a book, the way Emery tackled that was not a dealbreaker for me. I felt for Remy and the choice she made when she lit a match to her young crush and love for Shane and understood why she believed it was the only way to free him of her. What did me in was the way Emery was able to grow both of their characters as this book progressed. This book is one I will always recommend to anyone wanting a uber emotional and angsty romance! 

 

Rating: BLEW MY MIND! This book cannot be rated in my opinion, Shane and Remy were a beautiful explosion waiting to happen and oh what a journey these two took me on!
