A captivating story highlight the opposites attract trope along with plenty of hurt/comfort mixed in as well.
From the Master of the Wild blurb:
They have nothing in common. Nothing, but the pain and hurt of past relationships. Conner O’Reilly moves from London to California to lick his wounds and recover after breaking up with an abusive boyfriend. He is determined to find a job and start a new life. The last thing he needs is another romantic entanglement.
But Conner hasn’t bargained on meeting Ewan Driscoll. Wild, tattooed, gorgeous, messed-up Ewan, who has more baggage than a freight train.
Will Conner be sensible and get his life back on track, or will his heart lead him into the wilderness?
Angel's review:
Connor is a city man looking for a fresh start, and Ewan loves the wilderness and is content in his small town. Will they be able to make something work between them? Or will they get pulled apart?
I won't spoil the whole story for you but I will say that all the hardships both men face throughout the length of this story is well worth it. They do get their happily ever after in the end, which was done so beautifully. Two of the main trops that are prominent are Hurt/Comfort, and Opposites Attract, but there are several others mixed in as well. Such as, Roommates with benefits, friends with benefits that turned into friends to lovers, as well as plenty of beautiful found family moments. I thought each of the tropes featured were written in an intricate way that just felt natural to the story and to the characters.
Connor and Ewan are from different worlds but they have such amazing chemistry together and form such a strong connection from the beginning. While there were some bumps in the road they were able to communicate with each other and overcome them together. There is some angst in this story but it helped with Ewan and Connor's characters reach a pivotal moment in their relationship, and was handled well.
Both of these men have been through heartbreak, they have experienced it in different ways but both have still been burned by love before. Both Connor and Ewan wasn't looking for love, or a relationship, but both things pulled these men together anyways. I thought this was an excellent story and here's my keynotes as to why; the writing kept me interested and engaged, the characters had me smiling and made me want to give these men a hug, the side characters had a reason to be there, they didn't just provide extra dialogue or were just written to have an extra character, they actually played a part in the plot. And, the romance between Ewan and Connor was just full of sweetness!
I found the Master Of The Wild competition added a nice fun element to the story, and it was unique. While this is technically book 2 in this series it can be read as a standalone, I didn't read the prior book and I still enjoyed this one as is. All in all, a terrific story!
