I grip his chin. “Careful, I’m gonna think you want me as much as I want you.”
I love cowboy romances and second chances, so I’d really been looking forward to this story, and it didn’t disappoint. Wild Heart was a beautiful and emotional second chance romance!
Porter and Bishop had a lot of history between them, and there were glimpses at the beginning of the story that showed parts of their pasts together. There was a lot of anger and resentment from Porter’s side about Bishop’s family, and after a misunderstanding he simply took off and stayed away for about eleven years before returning to the ranch. Upon his return, it was clear that the years hadn’t lessened their feelings or the connection between them.
Porter and Bishop’s story had a fair share of misunderstandings and miscommunication, which was frustrating but also very much on track with this pair. There was just so much hurt to overcome for these two. Porter wasn’t always the most sensible person and his anger sometimes got the best of him. Bishop understood him though, and he was so patient and gentle with him.
I loved their second chance, the small steps, them reconnecting… It was obvious that they were both gone for each other, that they’d always been. Porter might not have understood what made him return to the Sullivan ranch, but his wild heart definitely knew what it was doing.
Wild at Heart had quite a bit of angst and drama, and I really enjoyed it! Bishop and Porter made an interesting couple, and I loved seeing them figure things out and the personal growth they both went through. The epilogue was beautiful, and it was lovely to finally see them get their HEA together. And while it seems like this will be a standalone, I’ll for sure keep my finger’s crossed for more books about this ranch and their little found family!
Christ, if there was ever a moment when I could melt under someone’s intense gaze, it’s right here and now.
