Competition usually brings out either the best or the worst in people. In the case of Ethan Wilde, it’s a bit of combination. He knows what he wants, what his ultimate business goal is, but the question is will he get there without losing something of himself? In Get Wilde, Shelly Alexander gives us another terrific couple in this series. Ethan is certainly arrogant, but he’s also a little broken and hiding behind the once bitten, twice shy mentality. Adeline comes along and gives him a healthy dose of competition while also working her way under his skin, blowing his one and done lifestyle to bits. If you’re familiar with the Checkmate, Inc series, Ethan made an appearance in the second book, but is only loosely related to Checkmate, Inc. We see very little of those guys in this one, and I was a little disappointed by that. However, we still get plenty of wit and sarcasm, which I love, and a great couple that generates enough steam to fill Ethan’s steam room. All in all, another fun read in the series and an interesting look at how much work goes into training for an athlete.

I think everyone should Get Wilde at least once in their life. Ethan Wilde will certainly entertain you with his hot as sin body, and smooth, dirty talking.
This was a fun and flirty shorter read than Shelly Alexander’s other Romance series, but still just as enjoyable.
If you have read any of other books in this Checkmate, Inc series you will know that Ethan is a friend of our loveable geeksters. Come to think of it if you haven’t read now is the time to download. Foreplay and Rookie Moves are on sale, plus you can download for free with Kindle unlimited. It’s a series that each book can be read as a standalone, but really where’s the fun in that? The guys in this series each deserve your special attention. They each play to win and Ethan is no different, he may not work in Checkmate, Inc but he’s had the grand tour and took some valuable advice on board.
I do believe Ethan has met his match when he bumps into a young lady called, Adeline. She’s feisty and funny. I love her instantly. I was giggling at her comebacks for a very shell shocked Mr Wilde.
Adeline has a ex douche from her past, there’s one in every state I’m sure. Maybe more than one, but she’s not one to let it stop her. Down on her luck she has an opportunity to save her business that she just can’t give up. Things are never as easy as we first think, where would the fun in that be? Ethan and Adeline end up working together, it’s a scenario that Ethan nor Adeline ever expected to be in, but they are both fighting for their own businesses so let the games begin.
I can’t wait to read more from this series. If you love quick wit, loveable characters, sexy and erotic romance then this is the book for you.

Entertaining continuation of the Checkmate series. Although Ethan judges by stereotypes and clichés. he quickly learns to adjust his thinking when it comes to the feisty little gymnast, Adeline. A bit predictable but there are still some surprises in the storyline.

Favorite Quotes:
She’s kind of scary when she gets pissed off. Angry Grace grows fangs and hair on her knuckles.
Poor guy. He must’ve lost his spot in line when they were handing out IQs.
So, go pitch a tent under her apartment window and sing love songs until she gives in a agrees to talk to you… The fact that you’re willing to embarrass yourself for her will melt her heart. Or she’ll hear you out just to get you to stop singing.
My Review:
Get Wilde was a quick and jocular read – packed with naughty fun and erotic sensual scenes. Written in the first person POV of Ethan, I was entertained and engaged with the active and eventful storyline. Ethan was a sexy, one and done man about town. His rules of no entanglements served to guard his heart after being badly burned by his ex. His rules had worked for him for many years – until they didn’t anymore. Ethan’s inner musings were quite salacious, highly amusing, and full of naughty innuendo, smart-ass observations, and the humorous and inventive use of conjuring visualizations of wrinkly guys in the sauna to tame his trouser monster. The writing was humorous, witty, observant, and deliciously lascivious. After reading this clever tale, I am feeling a sudden interest to take up yoga. Just proving, yet again, there are healthy benefits from reading smut.

Get Wilde by Shelly Alexander is book number three in the Checkmate Inc. series. This is Ethan Wilde (Dick) and Adeline McAllister’s story (Red). Ethan is the trainer that got the Checkmate guys all buff. This can also be read as a standalone but I recommend that you read the other books in this hot series just because they are so good!
Ethan and Adeline have both experienced tragic career changes. One minute they had a promising career in their sport and the next minute that dream was crushed. Also, they both have had relationship troubles.
I loved how Ethan and Adeline met and got to know each other. The banter and chemistry between Ethan and Adeline is off the charts. They end up in a competition against each other. The winner walks away with a large sum of money. Adeline can use this to help with her business troubles. Ethan can use this money to expand his business. How will this effect this attraction between them? Will they discover that taking a chance on love is more important than money?
Oh my goodness despite neither one wanting a relationship they cannot keep their hands off of each other. Fun, hot, and heartwarming romance with some complicated situations. A must read!
FYI, includes mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
