I love how much LGBTQ rep there is in publishing now days. It is something that I like to see! This book was no exception to how excited I was to read it. I had not read any of this authors previous books, but I do have it on my TBR and might just pick it up after having read this book. I think I have seen a lot of content about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail recently and this book was something that made me more interested in it. I think that it had a good amount of plot, adventure, and steam mixed together to make the perfect story.

Something Wild and Wonderful truly was wonderful. I’ve seen it described as a slow burn, but it really was not. It had just the right amount of steam, pacing, and relationship development to keep me hooked while still being believable and true to life at the same time. The character development was excellent as well, particularly of Alexei. You could really see him grow over the course of the book as we learned more about his history and family trauma that drove him to hiking the PCT. Ben was great as well! Both characters were flawed, but it was beautiful to see them address their shortcomings and grow both individually and together. This book made me want to hike the PCT more than Wild while hoping for a swoon worthy experience! A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley.

Heartfelt and such a joy. I really enjoyed this one more than the author’s previous work and will be reading more in the future. This was just what I needed to cheer me up

This was a lovely read. I loved Ben and Alexei and appreciated the slow burn romance set along the Pacific Crest Trail.
