Romance Suspense | Romance Western

Looking for a heartwarming, smile-evoking tale, look no further than WILDE FOR YOU the newest in the Dive Bar series from definitely one of my favorite authors, Jennifer Ryan. You will immediately fall madly in love with the characters created by this prolific, talented writer of romance tales. Trust me, you can’t help but get caught up in the wondrous world penned by Jennifer Ryan.

Jax Wilde is a rough and tough cowboy with the most marvelous heart. A true family man who is surrounded by sisters, parents, and tons of love. But missing is that one person whom he can entrust with his heart.

Layla is an artist looking for a divine image for her newest commission piece. The mountains and scenery on the Wilde Ranch are perfect. And Jax is just another eye-catching item on this land.

Maybe I’m just a hopeless romantic, but I find stories by Jennifer Ryan so swoon-worthy. Perhaps at times with a healthy helping of sass and sexiness, just to spice it up. And with Jax and Layla, there is plenty of it all. Layla's artistic outlook on life is front and center. In contrast to Jax's rough and ready outdoorsy lifestyle, they make for an intriguing couple. As a couple, they just mesh. And in WILDE FOR YOU Jennifer Ryan takes you on a romantic adventure while these two discover each other, learning what they appreciate, and what they revere, and build up a common bond of trust. Both have been gobsmacked in the past with partners who betrayed their trust. We learn their individual stories as they explore a possible relationship.

WILDE FOR YOU is the latest in a series that has been a joy to read. Each book and tale is an adventure of its own thanks to the creative mind and energy of Jennifer Ryan.

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Ryan’s page-turning Dark Horse Dive Bar series continues with this story of love lost...and found…as a widow seeking to heal her heart crosses paths with a rancher/bartender who offers her a taste of adventure. 

Welcome to the Dark Horse Dive Bar, where the Wildes throw one hell of a party and love could be a barstool away!

Landscape artist, Layla Brock, knows what it feels like to love someone so completely you’d do anything for them—even take their secrets to the grave. Widowed after her husband’s betrayals and tragic death, Layla is searching for a new scene to paint, a new life to live. And Wyoming feels like the perfect place to get lost and find herself again.

Jax Wilde runs the family ranch, but has a few side hustles: wrangling his sisters, covering shifts at the Dark Horse Dive Bar, and renting out cabins to tourists looking for the ranch experience. His busy schedule, plus a bad breakup, equals no personal life. And then she showed up. And the woman he thought he had nothing in common with turned out to be his perfect match.

Layla knows what it feels like to lose everything. Jax is a man who wants it all—a wife, children, a life filled with happy memories. It’s a beautiful picture of a life Layla thought she’d had but turned out to be a lie. This could be her second chance…

Until her secrets begin to unravel and a new threat is revealed. There’s one difference this time: she has Jax Wilde on her side…
