This was a great entry into the very entertaining Collins family series. Colm never thought he would succumb to the family curse, at least not until age 40! And he certainly never would have looked at Kelli as the one to change his mind! Colm and Kelli had known each other since kindergarten but they were more likely to fight with one another than ever get together. Then again maybe love and hate really are a fine line. Overall, a fun and steamy read that while part of the Wilder Irish series, can be read as a stand alone.

This needs a gazillion stars. Mary has hit after hit with this family. She always gets me balling (happy tears this time) with Pop Pops wall. This book had so many lines that just got me….Colm waiting for his “click”. Or when he tells her she is his curse and she melts over that. Colm and Kelli have such a connection.
Mari gets you going with the blackout. What a hot night but poor Kelli when she thinks at first it was Padrig. UUGHH Padrig (I may secretly be in love with him but don’t tell my husband LOL). This entire family just is it for me. I swear if I could jump into a story for a week I’d pick this family. I’d sit at the bar and just smile and have fun.
Oh and I LOOOVVEEE (can you get it) when Colm gets all cave man like when Padrig or family refer to Kelli has his and then he say MY KELLI! OOOHHHH
I could go on and on but really BUY THIS FREAKING AMAZING BOOK …. It’s HOT HOT HOT and funny. …(I almost forgot. I don’t want to ruin but Sunnie has the funniest line about “falling off something”). I laughed so loud my family just looked at me.

So I have read Mari before but had not delved very deep in to the Wild series… well now I’m going to be doing so. I loved this book. It was great and it was sweet to watch these two slowly come together. Kelli and Colm were fabulous and their relationship growing was even better.

Great read, I love the Collins family. Each story is filled wit so much love and family that it makes my heart jump.
This story touches so many different feelings, those of loss, hope, togetherness, love, humor, and faithfulness.
When I want to be reminded of family, love, loyalty I read a Wilder or Wild Irish book.

So freaking good. So freaking sexy.
I’m so very much in love with the Collins family.
The funny banter between Kelli and Colm is so perfect. Even once their relationship changes it stays the same. Nearly 30 years of history together makes for a foundation that gets rocked but not broken.
The happily ever after is amazing too. Just so much goodness in this lovely story.

I have completely love the “Wilder Irish” series. They are stand alone stories with connected characters and family. Pop Pop really adds so much to these stories with his wisdom and insight. This one is Colm and Kelli’s story. Colm is Padraig’s twin brother who happens to be Kell’s best friend. They have all three grown up together but where Padraig is close to Kell, Colm and Kell have been more enemies than anything. Colm fought love saying he would never marry before a certain age. The other has had a string of non eventful relationships. However, a clock is ticking and one night of mistaken identities and a blackout change everything for these two. This is a fast paced story I could not put down. I enjoyed all the ups and downs in this story. The characters are wonderful. The story has passion, angst, love, passion, humor and so much more.

I adore Mari Carr’s family books! Even if it has been awhile since I’ve read this series once I pick up I know I’m home.
The big Collins family continues to grow, but somethings remain the same, like the loveable Pop Pop dishing out advice and you can always count on the young, single members of the family keeping his life interesting and eventually wising up enough to take it.
Colm Collins and his identical twin Padraig have grown up with the “girl next door” Kelli Peterson. While Kelli was really Padraig’s best friend, Colm and Kelli were more like frenemies, oil and water, fire and tinder, and every other metaphor that suggested these two just couldn’t help pushing each other’s buttons. So when most people in the Collins family expected that Paddy and Kelli might actually end up together, it was more of a shock that after a blistering Halloween night that it was Colm and Kelli that really did.
Colm never really believed in love, unlike most of everyone else in his family and Kelli also had given up on finding love. These two were both at the same point in their jaded dating game, although perhaps Kelli maybe more so. When Colm figures out first that Kelli is the girl for him, he gives her some time to catch up, knowing how stubborn she can be, after all he’s known her her entire life, but when her stubbornness digs in and grows roots Colm throws out all the stops and tries everything to win over the love of his life.
Mari Carr’s book are full of all the swoon, steamy smexy bits and lots of beautiful family moments!

Colm never believed in the Collins curse although there was plenty of evidence. Pop Pop talked about the click and when Colm was older that was what he wanted. He had this frenemy relationship with his twin brother Padraig’s best friend Kelli. They pretty much scored nasty points off of each other every time they met. And they were together a lot because they were both Padraig’s best friends. Sometimes he had to break up the fights. Kelli confided something really serious to Colm, which was unusual. He started looking at her differently. At the big Collins Halloween Party, there was a blackout that affected the party and the town. And changed things. But for whom? Not sure. You have to read this captivating story. Another in a long line of delicious Wild Irish books by Mari Carr.

Wild Night is a remarkable well written frenemies-to-lovers romance story featuring Colm Collins and Kelli Peterson, who have know each other since kindergarten. It has a wonderful storyline and characters that come alive on the pages. There’s a great mix of sarcasm, pranks, witty banter, LOL moments, a bit of drama, and oh, some hot sex.
I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

Wild Night is a great title for this book. Colm and Kelli have known each other since kindergarten. Kelli is his twin brother’s best friend, but the two of them have always had a somewhat combative relationship. Until one wild night when they accidentally have the best sex of their lives. Once they realize what happened, Colm is ready to change their frenemy status. But can he convince Kelli that he wants forever?
This was a great read. It was well-written and I liked the plot. I connected to both characters and enjoyed their banter. I love this series and can’t wait for the next book.

4 1/2 Sweet & Steamy Stars! Book ten in the Wilder Irish series this series is a spin-off of the Wild Irish series. Can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone, told in dual POV with HEA. This big awesome family owns and operates a pub, so the secondary characters are throughout the series. I love how the Collins clan is so loving and have an abundance of advice. Colm and his twin brothers best friend Kelli are too much alike to get along. I loved their banter, and how fast Colm was to accept the “curse”. I love and highly recommend this series!

I have always enjoyed the chemistry and bantering between Colm Collins and Kelli Peterson and it is quite fitting that these two go from frenemy to lovers in one wild night during a blackout without even knowing. This series and family is one of my favorites and author Mari Carr continues to deliver fun, sexy stories with a lot of heart. I really enjoyed how Colm and Kelli began seeing each other in a different light and how the Collins’ curse finally got him. I loved whenever Colm claimed her as “his” Kelli, not Paddy’s which brought a smile to my face. This book had some lighthearted moments as well as some heart tugging ones that I have come to expect from this author. Seeing Pop Pop in scenes is always a highlight for me when reading this series and also catching up on how Paddy is doing. Wild Night is a book that readers don’t want to miss.

I couldn’t love these two more if I tried! Colm and Kelli were a tonne of fun; They were sassy and saucy, and heartfelt and emotional. They liked to poke each others’ buttons, but only for fun, and after having known each other for their whole lives, they knew exactly how to do it well. They were so well suited in the sheets, that even they didn’t try to deny the fun to be had there. I loved how Colm just accepted his destiny and knew bringing Kelli along wouldn’t be an easy thing. And that ending, oh my word, that picture that Pop Pop chose, such happy tears and a huge smile left on my face

LOVED THIS!
Wild Night is the 10th in Mari Carr’s Wilder Irish series about patriarch Pat Collins’s grandkids… This one is a bit of a frenemies to lovers story, with Colm Collins and his twin Padraig’s BFF Kelli Peterson. They’ve grown up together, and fallen into a lifelong pattern of sparring and sarcasm, with a few pranks, terrible nicknames, and toe-to-toe arguments along the way.
One after-work drink after a particularly wretched week for both of them turns a corner, letting them glimpse a world where they can have not only a civil conversation but *gasp* enjoy each other’s company. Then a well-timed blackout is the catalyst that kicks them into overdrive.
Once Colm figures out that Kelli is the one for him, he just needs to convince her of it. Good thing he’s quite the determined guy.
Mari Carr’s series is one of my favorites—fun, funny, and full of family and heart. Wild Night is no exception. Colm and Kelli are a kick from the beginning, with their banter keeping it real as it kept me laughing. Seeing them come to see each other differently is a pleasure, as Ms Carr brings their growing feelings to life. Their warm relationships with their friends and family feel genuine as well, as we catch up with the rest of the Collins crew.
I loved every bit of Wild Night, and this has me hankering to reread the others in the series!
So So Good I Am Going To Read It Again!!
