Review: A Wilder Wedding by Carrie Ann Ryan (The Wilder Brothers #7.5)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Literally Yours PR.

A Wilder Wedding is a new novella in Carrie Ann Ryan's The Wilder Brothers series, and while it doesn't have Wilders as the main characters, Amos and Naomi are recurring side characters. They were part of what is now the Wilder Retreat prior to original set of Wilder brothers buying and renovating the property, and they're still around with the arrival of the cousins, aka the second set of Wilder brothers. Amos works in the vineyard while Naomi is the innkeeper. Over the years, they've become part of the family, but they've also been involved in an on-again, off-again relationship. But while the latter has worked for them before, it's starting to cause issues, which isn't a good thing, especially with the next Wilder wedding coming up. Is this the end or will they fight for forever?

I'm one of the many readers who has been following the Wilder Brothers series from the get-go, even looking forward to the beginning of it all when the lone Wilder sister found her happily-ever-after and we got glimpses of her protective brothers. I must confess, though, that it took me a minute to try and remember who Amos and Naomi were. This is one of the pitfalls of being as voracious a reader as I am. When it finally clicked, my emotional investment in the twosome grew even more. I'm glad they were able to figure things out and get they're happily-ever-after. There were moments where I was hoping for more details and information, and the suspense element felt like it came out of left field. Still, A Wilder Wedding was a nice addition to the series and gets 3.5 stars.

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health?

Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg
