The
Opposite of Wild
Book One Clover Park Series
By: Kylie Gilmore
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?
The Opposite of Wild
really surprised me, I was very much in love with Liz Garner right away. She’s
a bit uptight but willing and ready to drop everything for family and I loved
that about her. It’s something I easily relate to, I would do anything for my
little sister though in Liz’a case it’s her older sister she has to watch out
for.
Throw in the man she loved as a
teenager but after a humiliating incident she’s afraid to get close to him. It’s
full of some really funny moments as well as some awkward times where I really
wanted to say just talk to each other!
Ryan isn't ready to settle down but every time he gets near Liz he wants more out of life. I enjoyed that Liz made him want to be a better man, and he was already a pretty amazing man.
I will definitely keep my eye
out for more Clover Park stories from Kylie Gilmore. She’s an author to watch
because she writes a story full of humor and great secondary characters that
bring out that feeling of family that we all know well.
I highly recommend this for
fans of funny, quirky and heartwarming romance.

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.
