Wild Hearts by Melissa West
5.0
By now you should know of my love of Melissa West’s stories. When I saw the ARC go up for Wild Hearts, the second book of the Hamilton Stables series I immediately requested it. I loved the glimpses of Alex we had from Emery and Trip’s story so I was super excited to get into his story.
Alex Hamilton is the youngest brother and seen as the reckless one. He also has a reputation with the ladies and has done his best to stay away from Kate but he can’t help it. He is drawn to her and loves everything about her. Unfortunately he isn’t in a place where he feels he can give her what she deserves in a relationship.
Kate Littleton is Emery’s best friend. They have the kind of friendship where they tell each other everything and the fact that she can’t tell her about her feelings for Alex is making things very difficult. Kate knows that Alex isn’t a “relationship” guy but she can’t help it – she is completely drawn to him. As they start to build onto their friendship and eventually become more, they both realize they are taking a risk but they don’t care.
I loved these two characters together. One of the best things was the fact that Kate saw more in Alex than he and his brothers did. He is determined to make his role with the breeding function of the stables work. Showing Trip that he can do it and do it well, Alex won’t let his focus be pulled away from his work. But it is important to say he isn’t only about work. The times when he would come to help Kate build out the set for the school kids were the best. A number of things happen in this book that both push these characters together but also pull them apart. In the end, they both have to figure out what is most important to them and then also, how they can balance it all to have everything they want.
I truly love this series and you don’t have to read them all in order but it definitely helps a bit because you know about all the other things going on in the lives of the Hamilton’s. If you are looking for a story that has plenty of romance, swoons, and family, definitely check this series out. Melissa West tells fantastic stories and everyone should be reading them.
Thanks you to the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy!
