I picked this book up after I read M. Leighton's All the Pretty Poses, which was a little darker and intense, so this book was THE PERFECT NEXT BOOK FOR ME!!! I needed light, fluffy, pretty sexy romance, lol if there is such a thing, but this is what Some Like it Wild was for me. Don't get me wrong, it is still HOT and STEAMY and WONDERFUL!!!
Jake Theopolis is just a sexy sexy man, I love how he knows what he wants, doesn't care what anyone thinks of him, oozes sex appeal, and is actually a really good guy, with the bad boy persona. Laney Holt is sweet, innocent and about to get her world rocked, not by Jake, well not yet, but with a slap in the face that is her current boyfriend.
Many summers ago these two met, a flame was lit & I will never think of peaches the same, EVER... SIGH!!! A few years have passed and Laney finds herself back in her home town. One escaping her current situation in which she hasn't told her family the real reason she was home for the summer. Two she took on a case load with work to keep herself busy. She just doesn't realize how busy she will be when she finds out the tenant who she will be working with, thinks she's the sweetest peach he has ever tasted.
The summer that turns into a learning experience for both Laney and Jake also turns into a beautiful romance. Even though Jake thinks Laney is just a summer distraction, he learns quickly that once he has had a taste, he is hooked! Their story unfolds beautifully in front of us, I laughed so hard in this book. Especially when Laney runs out of gas stalking Jake at the fire station, but I guess I would too if my crush looked like him.
Laney learns a lot from Jake and really opens up and blossoms. She really was lost and found herself with Jakes help. He is not the person she thought he was. He is very caring and sweet and most of all he truly cares for her and wants her to enjoy life to the fullest. One of my ABSOLUTE favorite scenes from the book is when they climb up the rocks and swing on the tire swing together, stealing a moment for just them, it was breath taking. Also, the realization of this is more than what they thought... A LOT MORE.... it gets HOT!!!
Everyone loves a good summer love book and that is exactly what this book is, it was thrilling, exciting, and plan as DAY GOOD!!! I could re-read this one a few times, but all M. Leighton books leave me feeling that way. She is getting better with each book she writes. I hope you enjoy this read as much as I did. I was smiling for days after reading this!!!
