Blurb:

Hollywood Bad Boy Loomis Powell Dating Heiress Keegan Fritz Amid Secret Baby Scandal.

That headline plus a broken wrist, my ex showing up, and it leaking that Loomis has a son no one knew about, and suddenly we’re in a fake relationship.

He needs help keeping his son and saving his career, and I need someone to stop me from going back to my ex after he broke my heart.

It seems like the perfect plan until we realize someone is following us a little too closely.

Now we’re stuck in a tiny cottage on an island off the Florida Keys.

It’s a recipe for disaster.

Between his charming smile, sexy British accent, and swoon-worthy moments with his son, he’s everything I need to stay away from. Loomis doesn’t do love or relationships, and I have a penchant for falling fast and hard for the wrong men.

But with every searing kiss and sheet-clutching encounter, I’m finding it harder and harder to remember that what we have is fake.

Especially when outside forces threaten to tear us apart.

Can we find a way to turn this undeniably unexpected situation into something real, or will our Hollywood romance end in disaster?

He’s gonna give it to her.

Book cover for 'Tenderfoot' from the Avenging Angels Series by Kristen Ashley, featuring the title 'AVENGING ANGEL' prominently displayed with a pink and clear perfume bottle in the center.

Avenging Angels: Tenderfoot, an all-new swoon-filled, action-packed romantic comedy and third interconnected standalone book in the Avenging Angel Series from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley is now live!

Harlow O’Neill is waiting for Javier Montoya to make his move. She has it bad for the gorgeous new investigator at Nightingale Investigations and Security. She’s sure he knows it. She’s also sure he’s just as into her.

And she’s read the Rock Chick books. She knows how those Hottie Squad men are supposed to win their women.

Javi is just not trying to win her.

Then one evening Harlow is undercover on a mission for the Avenging Angels, and Javi blows her cover. She’s not happy about it. They share words and some of the ones Javi uses aren’t all that great.

Harlow retreats. Javi goes on the advance.

And the man Harlow was investigating winds up dead.

The Angels go all in to discover what’s happening with a dating app scam that ended up with a dead guy. The Nightingale men aren’t fans of the women wading in on such a dangerous case, and they’re doing something about it.

It’s a race between the Angels and the Hottie Squad as to who’s going to solve the mystery.

While all of that happens, Javi’s not taking any chances with Harlow’s safety. He moves her into his place and Harlow learns firsthand what it means to be in the romantic crosshairs of a member of the Hottie Squad…and the heartbreaking reasons why Javi kept her at arm’s length.

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Reviews: Karla Sorensen’s This Wild Heart, the final book of her Wilder Family series ✍🏻

Overall Grade: A

Tropes: sports romance; Vegas marriage; fake relationship; hurt/comfort

Karla Sorensen’s This Wild Heart serves as the poignant finale to her Wilder Family series, masterfully weaving together themes of grief, love, and healing. As Brittainy Cherry writes in The Problem with Falling, “[d]eath was the only life guarantee that humans had. We weren’t promised riches and fortune, or fame, love, or success, yet we were all promised a final chapter.” This sentiment echoes throughout Sorensen’s series, which is shadowed by the impending death of the Wilder family patriarch, Tim.

While each of Sorensen’s books explores how different siblings process their father’s terminal cancer, This Wild Heart focuses on Parker, the second-youngest Wilder child, who copes through avoidance. His struggle with grief forms the emotional core of this story, demonstrating Sorensen’s skill in portraying the varied ways people confront loss and how it shapes their journey toward love.

The novel gains additional depth through its connection to Sorensen’s Washington Wolves series. The female lead, Anya Hennessey, is the daughter of Aiden Hennessey and Isabel Ward from Forbidden in the Ward Sisters series. Anya proves to be the perfect match for Parker, possessing the emotional intelligence needed to help him confront his grief. Their story unfolds through compelling plot elements—a public breakup, an unexpected fake marriage, and the challenge of breaking through Parker’s emotional walls.

This Wild Heart showcases Sorensen’s greatest strengths as a writer: her nuanced understanding of human nature and her ability to craft emotionally resonant stories. As the final installment in the Wilder Family series, it delivers a satisfying conclusion while promising readers that Sorensen’s gift for creating impeccably written romances will continue in future works. 

In love and romance,

Professor A
