 Heartfelt, Raw, and Utterly Unforgettable!! 

 
Kacey Shea absolutely wrecked me with Wild Love—in the best possible way. This second-chance romance is packed with emotion, sizzling chemistry, and the kind of deep, aching love that lingers long after you turn the last page.

From the very first chapter, I was hooked. The premise alone had me intrigued—two people in their forties, reconnecting decades after a life-changing night. The missed connections, the heartbreak, the unspoken words… and then bam! Fate brings them back together in the most unexpected way. But Wilder doesn’t remember her, and wow, does that set up some seriously juicy tension.

What I loved most was how Kacey Shea handled the raw themes in this book. It’s not just a love story—it’s about healing, about finding light in the darkness, about embracing the moments we have. The underlying thread of cancer throughout was deeply emotional, and I’ll be honest—I cried. Hard. It hit in ways I wasn’t expecting, making the journey between these two characters feel all the more real.

Their chemistry? Off the charts. The slow burn, the push and pull, the undeniable connection—it was everything I crave in a romance. And the fact that this is a love story for an older couple made it all the more special.

If you haven’t read Born Wild yet, I highly recommend reading Wild Love first. It adds so much depth to the novella, making the entire experience even more fulfilling.

This book is beautiful, poignant, and full of heart. If you love second-chance romances that hit you right in the feels, Wild Love is a must-read!
