Book Spotlight & Review: Some Like It Wild by M. Leighton

How far will a good girl go for the bad boy she loves?

Laney Holt is a preacher’s daughter. A good girl. Her only goal was to get married, have babies, and live happily ever after, just like her parents. Only that didn’t happen. The two people closest to her betrayed her, and Laney’s dreams came crashing down. Now she’s left with an empty space she doesn’t know how to fill. Until she meets Jake Theopolis, a daredevil with a death wish who has heartbreaker written all over him.

Jake has no interest in thinking beyond the here and now. All he wants out of life is the next rush, the next “feel-good” thing to keep his mind off the pain of his past. His latest rush? Showing Laney there’s more to life than being a good girl—and that going bad can be so much fun. Her only concern now is how she can ever hope to satisfy the wild side of a boy like Jake. She’s looking forward to trying. And so is Jake.

Jennifer’s Review of Some Like It Wild

Review (4 Stars): Laney has always been known as the “preacher’s daughter” who has always played it safe until she finds her fiancé in bed with her best friend. Now, she is ready for a little adventure and the ultimate bad boy has walked back into her life.  Jake Theopolis has a lot on his shoulders after the death of his father and is trying desperately to hang on to his family’s farm.  Laney gets sent to help Jake inventory everything on the farm in an effort to keep it from family members who just want to sell it for a profit. Jake met Laney once before and this time he has the opportunity to finish what he started and Laney is now ready to walk on the wild side with this bad boy.

This book was very hot and steamy and I loved every minute of it.  Laney was a great character who was ready for a little adventure after doing everything she was expected to since she was the preacher’s daughter.  She had her whole life planned out for her until she suffered an act of betrayal by the two people closest to her.  Jake seemed dark and mysterious when we first met him but there was so much more to him than just being a bad boy.  He had a strong character and was loyal to the people that he cared about and felt like he had to do everything to save the farm so he wouldn’t let anyone down.  I liked that about him and I could see that he was exactly what Laney needed in her life.  The sexual chemistry between them was definitely hot and I was amazed at how much I liked them together as a couple.  Some Like It Wild is a sexy, fun romance that will leave you wanting more from these characters.
