Emeline
Seven years.
That’s how long it’s been since I last came face-to-face with Levi Tucker. He’s my older brother’s best friend, and the man I’ve loved for as long as I can remember. Now he’s back in River Falls, along with his young son, Rhett, and suddenly they’re woven into both my personal and professional life.

The last thing I expected was the wild, undeniable pull between Levi and me to turn something strictly professional into something deeply personal. But Levi’s past is closing in, and this time, I refuse to walk away. I’m ready to fight for the life and the love I want, because both Levi and Rhett Tucker are worth the battle.

Levi
Tragedy brings my son, Rhett, and me back to River Falls, Colorado. After losing my daughter in a devastating car accident and watching my marriage fall apart, returning home feels like my last chance to start over.

When I’m roped into volunteering at the Wilde Family’s summer camp for underprivileged kids, the last person I expect to fall for is my best friend’s younger sister. For the first time, I can see a future filled with love and happiness for my son and me. Yet when my soon-to-be ex-wife reappears in River Falls, everything I’ve begun to build is suddenly at risk.

Will the past destroy our second chance, or will true love finally get its happily ever after?

REVIEW:WILDE RIDE is the second instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult LOVE IS A COWBOY erotic, romance series. This is veterinarian and single father Levi Tucker, and rancher Emeline Wilde’s story line. WILDE RIDE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Emeline and Levi) WILDE RIDE focuses on the return of Levi Tucker to his home town of River Falls, Colorado. Approximately eight years earlier, Levi married his pregnant girlfriend and moved away to raise his family somewhere else. Fast forward to present day, Levi has returned, with his six year old son, and an impending divorce on the horizon but Levi never expected to find himself pulled towards, Emeline Wilde, a woman he sees as nothing more this his best friend’s younger sister. Emeline fell in love with Levi Tucker when she was fourteen years old but Levi was older, and our heroine watched from the sidelines as Levi fell in love with someone else. Working together at the Wilde Family’s summer camp meant time spent together but when Emeline professed her feelings for Levi, our hero announced he wasn’t ready for anything else.

The world building follows several pathways including the Wilde Family summer camp for underprivileged kids; Levi’s need to move on from the demons of his past; the nosy and gossipy townsfolk who have no problem getting involved in everyone’s life;Emeline’s heart break when she realizes Levi doesn’t feel the same way; and Emeline’s brother Caden who continues to struggle with a past betrayal.

The relationship between Emeline and Levi is a best friend’s younger sister; a potentially forbidden relationship in the face of a lifelong friendship but a relationship that is perfect when all is said and done. Emeline has been in love with Levi for as long as she can remember but Levi’s marriage imploded, and he is struggling to move on from the death of his daughter. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

The colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters include Emeline’s siblings: Gatlin, Ensley, and Caden; Levi’s son Rhett; perfumer Lilithbet, as well as the Wilde parents Ladd and Vivianne, and several townsfolk who may or may not have an ulterior motive.

WILDE RIDE is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is captivating and engaging; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic and charismatic.
