He’s the best man and I’m the maid of honor at our best friends’ wedding. They both warned us off each other. Together, we’re dynamite. How long till we get burned?

All my life, I thought I was the wild one, but little did I know someday I would meet my match. His name, Tucker Philips. Fun fact, he’s Chicago’s number-one womanizer. And as of recently, my kryptonite.

The first time I lay eyes on him was at our best friends’ bachelor/bachelorette party. Minutes after I swore I was done with men. FOREVER.

Yes, I wanted nothing to do with the one species who manipulated and broke my heart multiple times in the past anymore. Been there. Done that.

Until he happened. And wreaked havoc on all my plans.
And surprise, life also has its own plans ready for us. Very specific plans neither of us saw coming. And that could mess with our seemingly perfect lives.

As our friendship blossoms, Tucker decides we should be together. For real. No more games. No more hiding our relationship from our friends. One problem, though. With my dating history, I’m not ready to give in and let the attraction we share consume me.

No matter how cocky as hell he is or handsome and devilish he looks in his tailor suits, I won’t listen to my traitorous heart. I know his type. And it spells “trouble” in big bold letters.Between us, Tucker Philips isn’t the only wild one, and I can hold my own.
I’m about to show him I won’t fall for his ways, because I master the game too.If he wants a chance, he’ll have to play by my rules too.

Can Tucker follow up with me, or will he declare game over before our relationship has even started?

Wild and Country, an inspirational slow burn romance, in the Carter Hills Band romance series. All titles in the series are standalone novels that can be read in any order. For a better experience, read in the suggested order.

Wild and Country is an emotional rollercoaster that will transport you on a journey that will stick with you well after you read “The End,” and is filled with hot steamy chemistry, addictive wild personalities, and the perfect amount of sass, angst, and romance.

Excerpt from Wild and Country

“Fucking stupid idea,” I grumbled, jumping to my feet and rubbing my hands together to remove any dirt residue. With a grimace, I pinched the ripped fabric as irritation boiled my blood. “Look at me now. I’ll spend the rest of the night half-naked. Great. What a wonderful idea you had there, Wilde. Come on, if you’d wanted another glimpse of me, all you had to do was ask. I would’ve even given you a run for your money.”

Addison ate the distance between us and burst out laughing, her laughter so warm and contagious that some of my anger dissolved, and I joined in. Yeah, I appeared ridiculous, no doubt.

“Tuck, I gotta say, you do look stupid. Not sure your pricey shirt can carry off this new design. Lucky you, you have pretty nipples. You could pretend you got hurdled by a flock of needy women on your way here. And they ripped your clothes off with their long fingernails. Or their teeth. People would get engrossed in such a story. Super believable. They’d all talk about it, and you’d be a hero.”

I blinked. And I blinked again. She nodded, seeming convinced by her retelling of events that had never happened. Addison Wilde was… Jesus… For once, I had no idea how to describe her. Some of her last words replayed in my head.

“Pretty nipples?” I had fucked my share of women and never had any of them tell me my nipples were pretty.

Addison grinned. What was wrong with her? Couldn’t she share my anger instead of complimenting my freaking tits? Pecs. Geez, she was toying with my mind now. Every parcel of it.

My thoughts on Wild and Country

This is the fourth book I have read in the series, and I know I say this every time, but I think it might be the best yet.

Tucker and Addison provide hope, inspiration, humor, and spice to this engaging story.

Addison swears she has had her heart broken for the last time. She’s swearing off men and decides she should play for the other team as women are much kinder. Unfortunately, this is before she meets Tucker, who curls her toes with his sexy swagger.

Tucker is a player of the first order. He has no interest in relationships, so why is he obsessed with Addi?

When you add in the fact that they are the maid of honor and best man for their friend’s upcoming wedding and have sworn to steer clear of each other, the situation gets intense and spicy in a hurry.

I recommend this story to readers who love steamy romance, well-written characters, and plotlines written with humor and pathos.

Author Emmanuelle Snow is a master at combining tropes in a way that reels the reader in and keeps them hooked.

While this story can be read as a standalone, I always recommend reading the series in the author’s preferred order. I believe the reader will have a richer, more nuanced experience and connect with the characters better.
