Unleash
the wild woman…?
Ex-cop
Ryan O'Hare takes one look at buttoned-up control freak Liz Garner
and just itches to loosen the woman up. Not that he’s into her.
Because a woman like that comes with way too many expectations. Not
to mention, she practically works for him, and he didn’t hire Liz
to watch after his beloved Harley-stealing Gran so he could turn Liz
loose in his bed. Still, there’s something about her, a hidden wild
side, that makes him wonder what it would take.
Liz
must be crazy to work for the insensitive, arrogant, horribly…hot
man she's avoided for years. Unfortunately, she needs the money and
Ryan's grandmother needs a keeper. (Midnight tango lessons and
ziplines with Gran, anyone?) Ryan's rare smile and swaggering
confidence have Liz torn between throwing her favorite pinot grigio
at his head or throwing herself at him. Can this control freak find a
way to let loose with the tough, no-strings guy who once broke her
heart?

Info
Kylie
Gilmore was lucky enough to discover romance novels at a young age as
they were strewn all over the house (thanks, Mom!). She writes
quirky, tender romance with a solid dose of humor. Her first book in
the Clover Park series, The Opposite of Wild, will launch in January
2014 featuring the oldest of three brothers and his lady love. The
next two books in the series give each brother his dream girl
(eventually).
Kylie
lives in New York with her family, two cats, and a nutso dog. When
she's not writing, wrangling kids, or dutifully taking notes at
writing conferences, you can find her flexing her muscles all the way
to the high cabinet for her secret chocolate stash.

Teaser
Ryan
just stood there, his sharp eyes studying her. "You're a puzzle,
Liz."
"I
am?"
He
reached out and smoothed a lock of hair behind her ear, and her heart
caught in her throat at the gentle gesture. "You seem
so…uptight," he said. She stiffened and took a step back. "But
I know you were checking me out when I was mowing."
She
flushed, but rallied quickly. "I was only bringing you water."
She crossed her arms and said primly, "You surprised me when you
dumped the water on your head. I was merely looking to see if you
were going to do any other…surprising things."
His
lips twitched. "You're like a librarian just waiting to let
loose."
"Is
that supposed to be a compliment?" she bristled, hands on her
hips.
"There
it is." He smiled and stepped close, crowding her space. She
drew in a quick breath, but held her ground. "The puzzle—fire
and ice."
She
put both hands on his solid chest and pushed him out the door. "Next
time, mail the check." She shut the door in his face, turned and
leaned against it. "Urgh!"
"That's
what I'm talking about," he said through the door.
She
ripped open the door. "Go away."
His
head cocked to the side while he bit back a smile. "Is that any
way to talk to your employer?"
"Gah!"
She slammed the door and locked it. She heard his low laugh as he
walked away.
Review Rating: 4 LIGHTNING BOLTS
Review: The Opposite of Wild is a fun romance with quirky characters. I had a blast with Liz and Ryan, and the supporting roles as well. Full of humor, emotion and plenty of charm, this made for an easy, great afternoon read. I almost read it in one sitting. (Hey, you try reading in the middle of the day with an energetic four year old! That's why I said almost)
I love the way this author writes. It makes for a fast, upbeat pace. Liz's sister shows up with some big news and it pushes Liz to really think about her own life. I think we've all had moments like that, right? Liz and her sister are SO different, it's like night and day. I loved Liz's character change, even slowly. She learns a lot from her sister, even if she doesn't always want to accept change.
Then we've got Ryan. He's hot, fun, and so not ready for what Liz wants. These two have opposing sides on family and love. But we all know when you add two people together that don't have the same dream, things can easily change, right?
I can say with assurance that I can't wait for more from this author. The Opposite of Wild drew me in, held me down and made me laugh! What more could I ask for in a romance read?
