Passion as hot as midnight in the South and love as wild as the horses they tame.

Camille “Cami” Hines is the darling daughter of the South’s champion thoroughbred breeder, Jack Hines. She has a pedigree that rivals some of her father’s best horses. Other than feeling a little suffocated at times, Cami thought she was pretty happy with her boyfriend, her life and her future.

But that was before she met Patrick Henley.

“Trick” blurs the lines between what Cami wants and what is expected of her. He’s considered the “help,” which is forbidden fruit as far as her father is concerned, not to mention that Trick would be fired if he ever laid a hand on her. And Trick needs his job. Desperately. His family depends on him.

The heart wants what the heart wants, though, and Trick and Cami are drawn to each other despite the obstacles. At least the ones they know of.

When Trick stumbles upon a note from his father, it triggers a series of revelations that could ruin what he and Cami have worked so hard to overcome. It turns out there’s more to Trick’s presence at the ranch than either of them knew, secrets that could tear them apart.

The Wild Ones literally has EVERYTHING you could want in a read, especially a summer read. Hot, witty characters, hot setting, hot plot, HOT everything! I want to be with Trick and I want to be friends with Cami. These two were just awesome and really made the story!

Patrick "Trick" Henley left college so he could work and help his mother with the bills. He is as selfless as they come. If his gorgeous looks and charming personality wasn't enough, he is the greatest older brother to his baby sister and also cares about animals. He wants to be a veterinarian! SWOON!! Camille "Cami" Hines is home from college for the summer and the second she meets Trick her life is changed. She can't stop thinking about him, despite having a boyfriend. The connection these two have is SIZZLING!! You need these two to get together because at this point, the sexual tension is killing the reader, so I can just imagine what it is doing for the characters!

See the problem with these two getting together is Trick works for Cami's dad, and Trick desperately needs this job. Cami's father would never approve of his daughter going out with the hired help. There is also a very deep family rivalry between the Henley's and the Hines! Who doesn't love a good Southern family rivalry story?!?

I also loved the secondary characters Rusty (Trick's best friend) and Jenna (Cami's best friend). These two definitely made the story much more interesting!

The Wild Ones NEEDS to be read. Seriously. Whatever you plan on reading next, put it to the side and read this one. You will not be disappointed!
