I was his weakness. He was my strength. Until I destroyed him.I was infatuated with Shane Wilder since the first time I saw him surfing. But we couldn’t be together. Not yet, anyway. I was too young and screwed up. He was too focused on chasing his dream.So we became friends. We met on the rooftop for late-night confessions under the stars. Cruised along the Pacific Coast Highway with the wind in … Coast Highway with the wind in our hair and the sun on our faces.
I took photos of all the beautiful and ugly and interesting things, while he traveled the world in search of the perfect waves.
I told him I would wait for him.
I never meant to lie.
I never meant to ruin his life.
I. Destroyed. Him.
As his star faded, mine burned bright. But as everyone knows, all that glitters is not gold.
Now I’m back after seven long years, hoping for a chance to right my wrongs and fix what I’ve broken. This time I can only hope that loving Shane Wilder will be enough to save him.

A beautiful story of loss and love and loss and love. People grow and change and sometimes things don’t work out the way you want them to, but you overcome and go forward. This story proves that just because people live in “paradise” doesn’t mean they don’t have issues. Fortunes can be won or lost. Hopefully in the end it’s all worth it and love wins.
I was lucky enough to beta read this book and I cannot recommend it enough! One of the best reads of 2019 so far! If you try only one new author this month, let it be this one! I promise you, Wilder Love will not disappoint.
Set in the sunny back drop of Costa Del Ray, Shane and Remy suffer through some dark and stormy times.
Remy is a beautiful girl. Absolutely stunning but she’s been thorough her fair share of struggles and whilst she starts off young in the beginning of this book, you can tell it’s definitely taken a toll on her and made her wiser than her years. She has a brother, Dylan (AKA, my current obsession) that is her ride or die and a mother that… well, I’ll let you make your own opinions on her.
Shane is a stunning surfer with a bright future and promising career ahead of him. He has his dad, Jimmy, as a huge support in his life and in many ways, he and Remy couldn’t be more different from each other. But that’s only on the surface. When the two decide to dive further into each other, they fast learn they have much more in common, than meets the eye.
The two know right off the bat that getting involved with each other in any romantic or sexual way is a no-go for an array of legitimate reasons. But after a number of surfing lessons, laughs and sexually charged moments they realise that they just can’t stay away or help themselves. Unfortunately for them, they can’t always get what they both want, crave and need.
I can’t go into too much detail and I’m trying really hard to vague book right now because I don’t want to give anything away and this book is too easy to spoil! I will however say that it’s SO GOOD!
What can you expect?
Sunny, surfer scenes
Hotter than the sun
ANGST
FEELS. All of them.
Sweet mangoes
Wilder Love is quite the ride. Or wave even. As you ride, it’ll take you on a series of ups and downs until you finally find your footing and it’s smooth surfing. It’s also got incredible side characters that you’ll fall harder for than Shane and Remy. Jimmy (forever my favourite) and Dylan (I need to know what the fuck is going on with him and Scarlett and Sienna) and Bastien (NEEDS A BOOK!) will all have you in tears! The good and at times, the sad kind.
With incredible detail showcasing the authors research and authenticity, an absolutely stunning cover and the prefect amount of humour, Wilder Love is not to be missed!
So hook on your ankle strap and get ready to paddle out for the perfect wave in WILDER LOVE .
