In the last installment to Sophie Jordan's The Ivy Chronicles, WILD takes on a bland and predictable heroine name Georgia and gives her the avenue to be a little bit bad. After a horrible breakup with her boyfriend, Georgia is feeling a little down and unwanted. In an attempt to get back at him, she tries her luck at the campus kink club where she meets Logan Mulvaney. Though younger, he has years on her in the sexual department and is willing to show her some new tricks. As you can expect, things are bound to get steamy with WILD!
While I have enjoyed this series as a whole, the premise of this book seems to be fixed on getting back at her old boyfriend. While empowering, it also starts the book off on a bad foot because we have a heroine who is desperate enough to go to places where she wouldn't normally be if it hadn't been for the recent breakup. As expected, Georgia makes a lot of mistakes, too many for me to forgive if I'm honest. The biggest complaint I had was that Logan is good enough to be with when alone. However, she doesn't want to be seen with him in public. This not only makes me feel bad for the hero, but it also creates major setbacks in the romance department, not to mention putting the heroine in a bad light. As a result, the author made it very difficult for readers to like Georgia's character.
Jordan focuses a lot on the sex, using it as a way to heal Georgia's heart. I was looking for more development in the romance where Georgia quits feeling bitter and starts to embrace who she is, rather than trying to be this "wild" character that isn't her. Though I enjoyed the hero immensely, I can't say that the rest of the story drove me wild.
