Wild one Kings of Bourbon Falls Book 1 was exquisite. Lynne Leslie words will whisper to your heart and soul. In this story you will learn about young love and rekindled love. Timing and trust are key factor in a relationship. The main character’s were determined to over come all obstacles regardless of the pain. Betrayal and lies who is friend from foe? I urge you one click this gem now. Ms Leslie will take you on an unforgettable journey that will leave red cowgirl boot prints on your heart . Lynne Leslie you writing is simply brilliant.
This book, these characters…do you have a time to read the whole book? Because you better as this story is too hard to put down once you start it. Everything that Ms. Leslie has written is gold in my opinion. I thought this was a book that I would get to the end without crying so hard I could not see…but damn it Lynne, you did it to me again but it was happy crying. There are characters from Skullz Inc., there are characters that I have been hoping for from the previous series that we have not gotten to read yet and there are new characters from future series. I am sitting on pins and needles. I need these books now. Back to this story, Atlas and Emmy Lou are destined to be together but life happens and when they are reunited (yay, second chance) it is explosive just the way I like it. And I love how Lynne puts in the anonymous voice chapters that will have you on the edge of your seat. I really loved reading Atlas and Emmy Lou’s road to a happily every after.
I received a complimentary copy from the author.
Wild One
Wow wow, I am so glad I gave this author a chance. I could not for the life of me get why it took so long. Atlas and Emmy Lou are childhood sweethearts, tragedy strikes by separating for 12 long years. Betrayals took a huge advantage of their love, they may have been young but they knew they were each other’s one. They realized they had to let go the hurt, the pain, and the anger they felt towards each other for them to finally received that love they had for each other again. Emmy Lou is sassy, independent and very headstrong, she never gave up on finding out the truth regardless of how Atlas felt. No one else can ever take these two on, they’re only made for each other, they have that once in a lifetime all consuming type of love. I really enjoy this book, author Lynne Leslie did a phenomenal job on this
Wild One is the first book by Lynne Leslie that I have read and I can definitely say I am now a fan. I thoroughly enjoyed her writing style, her characters and this storyline. This book is a fantastic second chance romance, riddled with intrigue and suspense with characters I desperately wanted to find their happily ever after. Wild One is the first book in her new King’s of Bourbon Falls series and I am looking forward to what is coming next.
Emmy Lou and Atlas had a special friendship and connection from when they were young. As they grew older they thought they would be together forever but one event changed all that. Now, Emmy is back in town to prove the innocence of her wrongly accused father. This town and the people have been keeping secrets so take a chance and read this book for yourself to see what secrets are being covered up and what happens when they unravel.
Lynne Leslie is a new author to me and what a great book to introduce me to her works .Wild One is book 1 in the Kings of Bourbon Falls it’s a second chance romance with amazing characters.
Emmy Lou Graves left Bourbon Falls twelve years ago when her father was accused of a crime he didn’t commit, she left a child but she is now back this time as a woman on a mission and that’s to clear her fathers name. Atlas and Emmy were childhood sweethearts and when she left she broke his heart and he still resents everything about her but what happens when they come face to face and she tells him his family may have been involved setting her father up …..will he believe the girl who walked away from him or is blood thicker than water. It’s a very fine line between love and hate …….
This is an emotional read that’s full of mystery, intrigue and suspense so once you add in the love and passion you get an all round great read. The chemistry is sizzling, the characters are strong and easy to connect with and I’m looking forward to book 2 in the series.
Wild One takes us on a wild ride! Wendy for Janise’s Jivin’ Book Blog
This is my first Lynne Leslie book, so glad I found this author. I loved the characters, not just Atlas and Emmy Lou but all the Bourbon Kings and friends. Wild One has a great second chance love story and the suspense keeps you guessing right to the end. I am looking forward to book 2.
Needed to deep breathe many times during this story! Debra @ Janise’s Jivin’ Book Blog
This book tore me up (but in a way only phenomenal story can do)! Author Lynne Leslie you are a gifted author.
I don’t even have all the words for what this book did to me emotionally! But to be ripped apart in such a way is awe inspiring! You get the thought that it’s just another girl and boy have a love, they separate for whatever reason then come back together and suddenly it is roses and sunshine from there on out. Well this story is not that! It is deeper, darker and more beautiful for all of what happens.
Wonderful, heartfelt and hooked is what I am!
5 star Review of Wild One (Kings Of Bourbon Falls #1) by Lynne Leslie
Lynne Leslie is a new author to me and what an introduction to her writing. Wild One is a second chance at love story that drew me in and quickly had me invested in Emmy Lou Graves and Atlas James’s story.
It’s been twelve years since Emmy left Bourbon Falls and Atlas behind. Now she is back, determined to find justice for a father wrongly convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. Atlas still harbors deep resentment for the way she left him with a broken heart.
There is a good amount of romantic suspense throughout this book which kept me on the edge of my seat as I was reading.
The writing was strong, the story entertaining and I found myself totally invested in the story that Ms. Leslie wove. I enjoyed the characters which are well developed and easy to relate too.
The chemistry between them is just as steamy as it was twelve years ago, even though Emmy is determined to resist. Can Atlas put his feelings aside to assist Emmy to find the truth that has been buried for so long? Will his need to protect her override his feelings of betrayal?
This was an emotional story at times with elements of mystery, intrigue and suspense. The secondary characters were just as entertaining as Atlas and Emmy and I look forward to reading more in the series.
This was the first book I’ve read by this author, and will certainly check out more.
In Wild One, we meet Emmy Lou and Atlas. They had a strong connection when they were young, and things happened leading to heartache.
Emmy Lou is back, and digging for answers. As a courtesy she goes to warn Atlas. You can feel the connection they try to deny, all while the hurting continues. I loved the connections between the characters, the mystery in this book, and the thrill as they tried to find the answers.
I look forward to learning more about these Kings of Bourbon Falls.
This book is fantastic, there are strong alpha males, sassy and determined woman, a mystery that needs to be unraveled no matter the cost and a love to be reignited. Honestly this book has it all you, you don’t know if you can trust all of the new generation running the Bourbon Falls distillery or what Emmy Lou is going to turn up while digging into what happen all those years ago, then your hoping she and Atlas will actually talk about the past so they can get over it and find a new them as we all know they want each other still. The flow of the book is fantastic and how it evolves not only with Emmy Lou and Atlas but with the dark under belly of Bourbon Falls and how far it is spread. This is a book I will read again prior to the next book coming out so I can immerse myself in their world even longer!!!
This first book in the Kings of Bourbon Falls has me utterly and totally addicted to these men and the women who will steal their hearts. Wild One is a second chance romance between Atlas and Emmy Lou. Their story is heartbreaking, gritty and absolutely captivating. This romance is packed full of suspense, intrigue, secrets and a sizzling passion between two people who should never have been separated. As their story starts to unfold you will be kept on the edge of your seat, your mind will be reeling and you will be second guessing everyone to seek the answers you need. Atlas and Emmy Lou will show us that 12 years might have passed but sometimes the heart doesn’t care. As the lines between love and hate blurred for these two one thing was certain, destiny would scale the walls they had built to ensure that it was fulfilled. As I get to the final line in their story my finger tips are tingling in anticipation for the next book in this compelling series.
Book one in the Kings of Bourbon Falls series a well written story and I want to read the next book in this series. This is Atlas Duggar James and Emmy Lou Graves’ second chances at love after her being gone that long. I enjoyed this sentence that was in the book “Destiny. A simple word, yet one that’s so damn powerful.” I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Emmy Lou is back in town after twelve years to prove her father’s innocence. She had to leave when her father was accused of murdering a young girl. The town’s bad boys are in for a fight. Atlas and Emmy Lou had a thing once but now they are on opposite sides. The problem is Emmy Lou is digging around the past and Atlas wants to protect her. A great second chance/romantic suspense read that pulls you right in and won’t let go.
This is the heavy story of a couple who should have always been together. Life tears them apart. Now, they come together again. A bitter man and a tough woman. Can they face their differences and traumas and come out together? This is a very deep story that draws you in, but there could be triggers for some.

This book is a fantastic ride and I didn’t want to get off! The characters are well developed and the storyline is intriguing. We meet Atlas and Emmy Lou when they were both young and they have a tumultuous relationship from the start. But it develops into young love and when Emmy Lou is forced to leave something in Atlas breaks. When she comes back years later they both thought that they had moved on but first love don’t go away that easily. The chemistry is still off the charts between the two and Emmy Lou fights it as long as she can whilst Atlas wants to give in from the first time he saw her back. Emmy Lou is back with a mission and she enlists Atlas and the other Kings help in trying to clear her father’s name. Will she be successful or will the prestige and pedigree of the rich in the town stand in her way? Will Atlas stop hating Emmy Lou long enough for them to be able to work together? I can’t wait to see how all of the kings of Bourbon Falls stories play out!!
The first book in the Kings of Bourbon Falls brings Emmy and Atlas’s story. The author does a great job pulling you in right from the start with this romantic suspense. She adds a cast of supporting characters to help bring the story around. It’s a second chance romance with tons of emotions as well as all the intrigue and suspense. The chemistry between the couple is sizzling hot. It’s well written with detailed scenes,moves fluidly and had me hooked from beginning to end reading. I’m looking forward to the next book.
