Review:
Give me a British millionaire who knows how to get his hands dirty ANY DAY IF THE WEEK. Callum is sex on wheels and I’d love to take him for a ride. Don’t worry, Monica does plenty of that on my behalf in this book.
Monica used to be wild. She used to fall all over bad boys, make bad choices, wake up with hangovers and regrets, rinse and repeat. When she first met Callum she was right in the middle of her Wild Days. They practically have sex in the middle of a garden outside of her father’s wedding. I mean, the giving of fucks is at zero.
But then things change. People grow up. Events happen that mold us into who we are, or in Monica’s case, tamp down who we are. Since that seriously hot day in the garden, Monica’s toned everything in her life down. Even the colors in her house are neutral toned and it’s sparsely decorated. When Callum sees her again, the same heat and connection is there and he’s determined to bring Monica back to life – or at least throw some color into it.
Callum’s a jet setter who rarely stays in one place, and I completely fell for his semi bad boy ways. He keeps pushing Monica, begging her shell to crack. He finds that orgasms help. A lot. The sex between them is wild, freeing, and fiery. Austin builds the characters well, letting me into the bits of their lives little by little, until I understood what was motivating each of them.
If you like a little exhibitionism with your contemporary romance, then you will love this. Monica and Callum couldn’t be outwardly more different, yet they are internally really the same. They connect on every level. Especially down south. They connect there quite a bit. But they also have an emotional journey together that is smile inducing. This is a feel good romance – and it will make you feel good everywhere.
This book is somehow a sweet romance and yet is also out of control hot. Prim and proper never looked so good. 4.5 stars!

Releasing Your Inner Wild Child
My name is Monica Campbell and I’m a reformed wild child. Growing up in Vegas, trouble was easy to find and hard to resist. But these days, I’m a responsible job-holding, tax-paying, tooth-flossing citizen. I don’t dance on tables or sneak off to dive bars. I even had that unfortunate tattoo permanently removed. I’ve changed my ways for good. Most importantly, I’ve sworn off bad boys. I’ve had my fair share of them, believe me, and men who look like trouble usually are. Now I only date serious men with life goals and steady paychecks.
But then Calum Hughes roared into town with his hot British accent and even hotter body. We shared a moment five years ago, a moment I’ve never gotten over. So what’s a girl to do? I’ve tried to steer clear of him, but he’s …amazing. Wait, did I say amazing? I meant persistent. The man won’t leave me alone. Why does he have to be so charming? I can’t quite figure him out, and trust me, I don’t want to. I’m on the wagon where bad boys are concerned, and that especially includes Cal.
As long as I stay out of his orbit, I can focus on my work and not his lopsided grin or his rock hard abs. But he doesn’t play fair. The more I try to avoid him, the more he comes around, asking me to go play and tempting me to return to my wild child ways. That’s not going to happen, do you hear me? I’m over men like Cal. Been there. Done that. And I had that fugly tat to prove it. I’m not reverting back to bad habits.
Yet every time he kisses me or speaks with that deep, scratchy voice, I want to lose myself in him. He makes me miss the uninhibited side of myself. I thought I’d closed that chapter of my life for real this time, but Cal…, maybe I could let a little bit of my wild side poke through. That wouldn’t be so bad, right? After all, it’s not like Cal’s sticking around for good. He never stays in one place for long. He’s a professional drifter.
The question is, can I give in just a tiny bit, and still keep my heart intact? They say there’s a first time for everything.
Monica’s Tips for Releasing Your Inner Wild Child (Without Getting Arrested)
- Wear sexy lingerie. You never know when that bad boy might decide to peek under your blouse, and you do not want to be caught in white cotton.
- Know when to give into temptation. Sometimes, when a man looks that delicious, you can sin all night and make a fresh start in the morning. Kind of like a diet. A sex diet.
- Drive your man’s car as fast as possible—he won’t like it. Don’t let this dissuade you. After all, it’s not your Mustang on the line, now is it?
- Get over that fear of public sex. You don’t have to be a complete exhibitionist, but the thrill of almost getting caught adds to the fun.
- Go ahead and dance on the table. Wild Child motto: no regrets!
- Be careful with your heart. When you start having feelings, it gets real. So don’t, I repeat, don’t fall in love, no matter how tempting he is. Trust me on this one.
