My Review:

This was a interesting read and it wasn't a bad book or anything, but I almost DNF'd this book because of the heroine at times. She was so pretentious at times and way too hard on the hero. He is her best friend and there are times throughout the story that she treats him like he is beneath her. If I wasn't so invested in the hero, I would have passed on this one. I wanted to see his journey and what would happen with his practice. I did adore all the animal lovin' that is spread throughout delightfully in this story. There is some great family bond connections that we see as this book connects two series together and really had a blast with that aspect. I think fans of Kristen Proby will really enjoy this one but personally its my least favorite of the series so far.… (mehr)

First Impressions
Wild for You is the first book in the newest series by Kristen Proby "The Wilds of Montana" and I was super stoked for this one and I am not going to lie and say that I grabbed this for the cover. I mean this author really does great covers, but this one takes the CAKE! It has such a ethereal feel to it and it definitely has rancher in Montana vibes in it. Wild For You is a superb story and if you are in your small town era, then this book needs to be at the top of your list. I absolutely adored just about everything about this book. The author especially focused on the atmosphere so well and I was so impressed. I mean I have read her books over the years but this is the best work she has done in my opinion.

First Line
Numb, and not a little lost, I turn from the window that looks out to Boseman, to the woman standing behind me.

Summary
The premise of the story is that Erin Montgomery has come from her home in Seattle, when she came to Montana for a trip with her cousins and fell in love with the scenery and knew that she couldn't ever leave. Knowing she had the stability of her trust fund that her father, Will Montgomery, set up for her, she knew that she had found her home. When she is hired by Remington Wild to be a nanny for his two young children, chemistry only grows between them. Remington is the oldest of the Wild siblings, and in charge of running the ranch in place of his parents retiring and trying to be the father to his kids. But Remingtn and Erin are becoming quickly attached to each other and being in such close quarters, only brings them closer than ever...

What I Loved
This romance was just simply adorable. I loved their dynamic. It takes a little while before we really see them together, but their chemistry is well built throughout the story. I really had such fun seeing them grow as a couple. We get so many strong family vibes within this one. Both Remington and Erin come from strong family dynamics and they really connect on family values and I enjoyed these aspects. I also really found Erin such a wonderful heroine in how she is with Remington and the kids. She was strong but kind and her character was so loveable in many ways. The atmosphere was so well written, so if you are a fan of Catherine Cowles, then this is definitely a book I would recommend out to you for sure. I am very curious about the feud that was mentioned in this one and to see if this will be explored and how it will be as we get more books from the series.

What I Struggled With
So I struggled with the communication issues. The heroine was the one that wouldn't be honest with the hero and never seemed to realize how wrong it was and honestly she should have done some sort of groveling and never did. I mean learning from her father things before she told him when it could have put his family in danger ....yeah that is a no no.

Narration
SO SO GOOD! It has Sebastian York, so you just know it will be superb. But both of these narrators really worked so well together in finding that good balance with the various tones that fit just right.

Overall View
Wild For You is a captivating small-town romance that is packed with heart and endearing characters to melt your heart and guarantee swoons for the wilds in Montana!
