Ailis & Hunter have something in common, they’ve both been dumped. Worst of all, their exes ran off together! Can polar opposites become best friends during heartbreak? How about best friends to lovers, without losing themselves? Book two was every bit the awesome story I knew it would be! I just love the Collins Clan, they are BIG, loud and crazy, and I love it! Can’t wait to check out book three!
Opposites attract or friends to lovers, either one is the trope for this story, but really what it is is a realization of your potential and embracing your inner strength. Both our leads had put the other in a neat box in their mind, and they happily stayed in that box where everyone had put them. That is until life dealt them the same blows, and they bonded over that. As their friendship grew and their hearts mended, so did their awareness of the other outside of that box and more than just a friend. A few more steps were needed before they accepted the inevitable, and they got the HEA they deserved from the start!
Awesome book. Awesome writer.
Is it possible for a broken engagement to be the best thing that every happened to you? How about for two people who had their finacees run away with each other? Even though Hunter was Paul’s best friend, prior to the broken engagements Ailis didn’t really know him. But in the months following they spent time together and Ailis even put her phone number in his contacts under Rachel’s name so he wouldn’t send drunken messages to Rachel.
This was a fun read seeing how Ailis came into her own over the months following Paul’s betrayal and how she helped Hunter with his career. And of course we get plenty of the other Collins looking out for Ailis, although not always in a way that she expects. Love Pop Pop too.
Loved this story and the strength behind it. Love how this family rallies together but aldi uplifts. Might seem overwhelming but in the end it works. These two came together in pain but gained so Much more.
Book two of the Wilder Irish series. A spin off / next generation of the Wild Irish series. Can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone. Each book is about a different family member and their HEA. I love that the Collins big family is always secondary characters in each book. When Ailis’s boyfriend runs off with Hunter’s fiance they become friends. There is a music competition and some sabotage drama. Great story about trusting again after you’ve been hurt. I loved it!!
A bad breakup leads to an unexpected friendship. Ailis’s boyfriend and Hunter’s fiance run away together, leaving behind a note. Ailis and Hunter console each other, and in the process become best friends.
Ailis is lost. She lost herself in her relationship, then it failed. Now she doesn’t know who she is. After years of devoting herself to his wants and needs, and burying herself, she has to now discover who she is and what she wants from life. Hunter also put aside a huge part of who he was while in his relationship. After the relationship ends, he decides to resurrect his music career. As Hunter’s friend, Ailis sees an opportunity, and does her best to push him towards it. Spending time together leads to changes in their feelings, but Ailis is scared, and resistant. Hunter definitely has his work cut out for him!
This was a fun story in the Wilder Irish series. I enjoyed the interactions between Hunter and Ailis, and their smoking hot connection! I loved the way they stuck together through everything, despite doubts, and criticisms, and outside influences. Friendship is an amazing basis for a relationship, and these two blew that out of the water!
