A second chance romance in the sexy and engaging Wild Men Series by USA Today bestselling author Melissa Belle.She never thought she’d see him again… clear blue eyes and a constant smirk. When he picked me up over his shoulder and ran with me the length of the field, I wanted to hate him.
But somehow we were the last two left around the campfire that night. We talked for hours under the stars. And when he kissed me, I didn’t want him to stop.
The next morning, I left.
I thought I’d never see him again.
And for ten years, I didn’t.
Colton
Sky Rosewood was the one that got away, the fiery redhead with a temper to match.
It felt like way more than a teenage crush, but what did I know back then? Plus, she gave me a fake phone number. I tried everything to find her, but it was like she’d disappeared into the ethers.
Ten years later, I’m out for my morning beach run and I crash into…Sky Rosewood, just before she gets knocked out by an errant wave. I try to be a gentleman and give her mouth to mouth, but she comes to and tells me off, her temper still intact. And so is my crush.
Except now Sky’s a woman. A beautiful woman who agrees to give me the right number this time.
I’ve got my second chance with the woman I never forgot, and there’s no way I’m letting her get away again.
Turns out I shouldn’t have been so cocky…

Long lost love reunited for a second chance romance. Sweet and easy to read story. Colton comes across as a genuinely nice guy and Skylar is dealing with a lot of childhood hurt.
Quick, easy read!!
Great book.
Enjoyed reading this book
Great book and series
Audiobook Version:
I loved this book! The writing was great- I loved the story line of re encountering a childhood sweetheart. It was sweet, it was sexy and yet still had it’s share of drama. The characters were great- i can already tell i will fall for each and every Wild Man 🙂
The narration was great. Lacy really shined in this. Jeremy York was fabulous as well. I felt they went together really well in this.
I can’t wait to read more of the Wild Men.
AudiobookObsession
This was a great read. It was sweet and angsty and had many great moment mixed with reality. There was nothing too over the top but enough to keep me reading waiting to see what happens next.
Realistic story of the fear of love and anxiety that stops one from moving forward in life. I don’t think there is a man quite that patient in real life
Liked the story
this was a very good good. I liked that the main characters helped heal each other.
Good subject matter on abuse story moved slowly
New author for me. Loved this book. Entertaining and super romantic
I was really intrigued by the premise of this story, but felt slightly let down by the follow through.
Colton and Skylar are now grown ups meeting again. Colton is a big football star and Skylar is making her name as a journalist. A chance meeting and what started as a high school crush ten years ago only seems like a stronger connection after the time apart.
Colton and Sky have each been through a lot in the past and on paper seem to have grown successful and moved on with their lives. But they talk and act like they are still young high schoolers and the drama and angst feels very young also.
I listened to the audiobook and the narration was very good. The narrators are what kept me interested and listening til the end.
this was a brilliant story. Skylar having had a terrible early life has more than a few issues but when she met the boy from her childhood Sparks fly.
the chemistry between these to is amazing and Colts dedication to doing everything he can to make sure he gets what he wants is great.
An all round wonderful story.
Audiobook Review: Colton (Wild Men, #1) by Melissa Belle (Author), Jeremy York (Narrator), Lacy Laurel (Narrator)
Colton brings a hint of sentiment to a risque romance. Sky is the girl that got away. Colton is the boy she can’t seem to forget. What began as a teenage infatuation takes ten years to blossom into more. With the written talents of a hopeless romantic like Melissa Belle and the suave vocal stylings of Laurel and York, it’s easy to understand why this duo lays claim to the heart.
I love second chance romances, and this one was just as sweet as it was sexy. Skylar’s chance meeting with Colton on the beach after not seeing each other since they were just teenagers is a fluke neither of them could have counted on. She has been running from a past that could mean so many horrifying things while he has been searching for her since that night in Colorado when they were just teenagers, neither of them experienced and neither of them prepared.
While she fights her attraction to him because of the past that has taught her to be wary of men and what might really be happening under the surface, he fights to get through all of the pain she has endured to show her that he has never forgotten her, that the feelings he has held for her all of these years have not only stayed with him but multiplied at seeing her again. Will he be able to get through to her before fear makes her decide to leave the life she’s made for herself and ghost him again?
It’s been some time since I’ve read anything by this author, and reading this story has taught me why I love her work so much. There is an abundance of background romance and heartfelt moments that the heat she brings to her stories is just an extra bonus. There’s a psychological issue that holds the characters apart, always a fear of something that could very well make them take another turn. She has a way of making her tales believable and make me want to climb into them and become a part of them. Her background characters are just as attractive and beg to have their stories told. I am so glad to have picked up another of her books and look forward to seeing what she comes up with next.
