Review – Call Me Wild (Wild Thing #2) by Robin Kaye

Description:
She doesn’t know a single thing about relationships…

Unemployed sportswriter Jessie James plans to make a killing writing a bestselling romance novel. She’s never read one, but really, how hard can it be? Moving cross-country to a borrowed house in Idaho, Jessie starts her research with the first gorgeous guy she runs into…

Luckily, he knows everything…

Sports doctor Fisher Kincaid notices Jessie right away–the transplanted Easterner sticks out like a sore thumb in the small town. When he discovers she’s researching attraction and romance, he graciously offers himself as a test subject. That’s when everything starts to go wrong, and they both find out how much they need a few good lessons in love.

I’m going to start this review by being blunt, if you are a Robin Kaye fan and you are up to date with her books, read this review and then RUN to your favorite online bookseller and download this one immediately. If you are not up to date, get up to date…then repeat the steps above. If you have not read Robin Kaye, what are you waiting for? Go immediately to your online bookseller and download everything she’s written. Start with Romeo, Romeo and progress from there but I’ll warn you she’s addicting and her latest, Call Me Wild is one smart, funny, sexy and fantastic book! (Note from DiDi – you could read Call Me Wild as a stand alone and then you will want to buy the entire series)

I love it when a writer whom I’ve read frequently can continue to surprise me with fresh plot lines and characters that so real you want to meet them and have dinner. Robin manages that over and over again and it’s why I never tire of reading her work.

Call Me Wild is the story of Fisher Kincaid (who we’ve met in Robin’s previous two books) and Jessie James (don’t you love her name?). Fisher is a doctor, devoted brother and son, outdoors man, and honestly an all around good guy…oh yes, and a domestic god. Most of Robin’s heroes are domestic gods which I totally love. Jessie is a sports reporter recently laid off. She’s staying in Boise, Idaho in her best friend’s house while she writes a romance novel and looks for work in her field. Jessie is almost six feet tall and very athletic. Fisher is a goner the minute he lays eyes on her. Jessie who doesn’t believe in romantic love sees him as a pest and refuses to have anything to do with him.

Fisher’s pursuit of Jessie is humorous and fun. Jessie makes friends with Fisher’s sister, Karma; although she’s unaware they are related. So, while Fisher is trying to woo Jessie, Jessie is complaining to Karma about the “bum” who keeps following her around town. Needless to say Jessie makes some big and not true assumptions about Fisher and Fisher spends a lot of time trying to figure Jessie out. Thanks to Karma, these two wind up together for a weekend but an accident interrupts their plans and really gets their story going.

Fisher and Jessie are a great couple, they complement each other well. Despite that, Jessie was hurt in the past and although she thinks she’s overcome it, she hasn’t. Fisher finds himself dealing with feelings he hasn’t felt before and it flips him out. As much as they try and work things through themselves, it takes Jessie’s best friend, Andrew, and all of Fisher’s family to help them get their act together. Now, you might think that sounds strange but let me tell you some of my favorite scenes in this book involve Fisher’s loud and overbearing family.

Once again Robin has transported us into the lives of an interesting couple and a cast of supporting characters you can’t help but love. On top of that she gives us smoking hot love scenes, funny and entertaining dialogue, and a hero who lives to clean and do laundry. Seriously, what more do you want? I started this book and read it cover to cover. I could not put it down, you’ve been warned! “Karma has left the building.”
