ARC Review – Wilder (The Renegades, #1) by Rebecca Yarros

Posted September 19, 2016 by DiDi in Kitty, New Adult, Purest Delight, Reviews / 1 Comment

When it comes to New Adult, Rebecca Yarros is at the top of her class. Her new Renegade Series is starting off with some wild and insane stunts, people and places. It’s written with a touch of class, a touch of sass, a little bit of mystery and a whole lot of love. ~ Kitty, Guilty Pleasures

He’s Paxton Wilder.

Twenty-two-year-old, tattooed, smoking-hot leader of the Renegades.

Five time X Games medalist.

The world is his playground—especially this year—and for the next nine months I’m stuck as his tutor on the Study at Sea program.

He’s too busy staging worldwide stunts for his documentary to get to class.

But if I can’t get him to take academics seriously, I’ll lose my scholarship…if I don’t lose my heart first.

Six unlikely friends on a nine-month cruise with the Study at Sea program will learn that chemistry is more than a subject and the best lessons aren’t taught in the classroom…but in the heart.

Kitty-Angel-Avatar---BoxWhen it comes to New Adult, Rebecca Yarros is at the top of her class. Her new Renegade Seriespurestdelightaward is starting off with some wild and insane stunts, people and places. It’s written with a touch of class, a touch of sass, a little bit of mystery and a whole lot of love.

Leah and Paxton are extreme opposites. She’s afraid of heights. He can’t get enough of extreme sports and stunts. The higher and more extreme the better. From Zip Lining to Sky Diving … from High Dives to Parasailing, Pax will push the extremes until there is nothing left. But, when things start to happen, when Leah gets hurt, when stunts start to go wrong, Paxton stops and reevaluates his feelings, his reason for filming the movie, and has to figure out who and why someone would be sabotaging the stunts. There is more to him than meets the eyes and Leah sees right through him. But, if she knew the real reason why she was chosen as his tutor, why he was really doing the movie, would she understand or would she leave?

Leah knows there is so much more to Paxton than what the world and You Tube shows of him. She has a past that she refuses to relive. She has a best friend that she would do anything for, including going on this cruise, alone, until she can join her. She doesn’t expect her student to be Paxton, she doesn’t expect to be the center of his attention, she doesn’t expect him to be romantic, loving, kind or smart. She got a rude awakening with their meeting and with what he was keeping from her. But, as things start falling apart for him, as the triple-flip stunt on live TV gets closer, she can’t help but wonder who would really want to hurt him and why. A chance encounter and everything falls into place for her. But, will she be too late to stop him from getting killed or injured? Does she love him enough to forgive him for his deceit? Does she believe him when he says “I love you”?

Wilder was a wild ride. Paxton Wilder can Zip Line into my life whenever he wants to. The romance between Leah and Paxton was sweet and exciting. He totally surprised me with how romantic he could really be. Leah had her problems and was starting to get me disgusted but, when she puts her mind to something and commits to someone, she goes all-in. I was really impressed with her descriptions of the different locales in the story. Rebecca Yarros brought them all to life and had you feeling like you were right there with them. I was also impressed with her reenactments of the extreme stunts and how they were pulled off. I really enjoyed Wilder and am looking forward to the upcoming books in the series. Rachel and Landon’s story should be really interesting.
