The Wild Man
From USA Today Bestselling author, Alex Grayson, comes a dark, spicey Tarzan retelling...
I went into the wilderness in search of the person the town calls Wild Man.
Living on his own since he was a small boy, he raised himself.
When I found him, it wasn't the experience I expected. He wasn’t what I expected.
A savage, more animal than man. Pure instinct was how he survived.
With his hand wrapped around my throat, he said only one word.
"Mine."
Then he took me to his tree hut and wouldn't let me go. He kept me naked and tied me to him with a rope. He was an anchor around me while I slept. He fed me by hand and forced me to bathe him.
Those are the tamer things he did. The others were much more… explicit.
I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t want his touch, although my body called me a liar.
He’s a primitive uncaged animal who claims I’m his, and he’s hellbent on getting me pregnant.
No matter how much I fight him, he’ll never let me leave. I was his and he'd do anything to keep me.
Maybe in the end, he'll make me just as wild as him.
And it’ll be me who won’t let him go.

This is NOT a Disney retelling of Tarzan.
This book dives deep into the raw and primal, crafting a story that is as gripping as it is controversial.
The book opens with a frustratingly naive FMC, who nearly ruined the beginning for me. She reminded me of one of those ill-prepared tourists who visit Yellowstone and think it's a great idea to sit on the back of a wild bison for a cute selfie. Her lack of preparation for meeting a man who had raised himself in the wild was baffling. What did she expect was going to happen?
HOWEVER, once The Wild Man was given a POV, the story really took flight. Rape/non-con until about 30% in, then she becomes an active participant. When I say rape, it is graphic and painful. You’ve been warned.
The explicit nature of these scenes is not for the faint-hearted, but they are integral to the story's development and the complex dynamic between the characters.
Not a story for everyone, but for those who enjoy dark romance with a primal edge, it's a captivating and fun ride.
If you enjoy your heroes caveman-like, here are some other titles with unique leading men:
Uncivilized by Sawyer Bennett
Savaged by Mia Sheridan
Transcendence by Shay Savage
Rowe by Dylan Page
Primal by K.A. Merikan
Fall by Claire Kent
Unloved by Katy Regnary
Love in the Wild by Emma Castle

A sick part of me loves when he loses control and dominates me. I like seeing his handprints on my thighs and hips. I like when he slams inside me so hard my teeth jolt and blackness dances at the edge of my vision. I like when he bites my neck and squeezes my throat until my vision goes dim.

4 Mine. You Never Leave Stars ⭐
There’s no sense in even trying. Wild Man will do whatever he wants.
This is why I waited impatiently for the release of this story. If you have read this author before, you would know that she triumphs at writing hotter than hell unorthodox romances. And she didn't hold back, exactly like I hoped.
And for some reason, the crazed look does unwanted things to me. Things that I’ll never admit to and will keep hidden from the world until the day I die.
She's a journalist that has been fascinated about the man who lives in the wilderness. Now that Everlee knows that the myth is true, she abandons all reason to track down Wild Man herself. Let's just say that Everlee was not prepared for what she found.
A primitive man raised in the wild since a child. Fey was orphaned as a 5 year old and learned to navigate this life on his own. Presented with a young woman in his path? Well he will take and keep her. It's graphic and initially without consent. Now Everlee belongs to Fey.
Although getting home is never far from her mind, Everlee soon adapts to this new way of life of being held captive without clothes, technology and creature comforts. But it's not long before she is captivated by Fey and his intent to breed her.
It was twisted, it was concerning and it was mouthwatering. Yet the entire time I wondered how these two could make this work yet they do. The caveman and the modern woman, lots of sex and her family desperate to get her back. Raw, gritty and nerve wracking.

MY REVIEW AND OTHERS can also be found on my blog: ╰┈➤KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS
'𝐓H𝐄 𝐖I𝐋D𝐌A𝐍' Is a full length Tarzan retelling romance book by author Alex Grayson. Spoken in 'dual POV's.
When the teasers started dropping for this, I knew I wanted to read it, I’ve not read anything by this author for a while (no reason why) I knew once time permitted I’d jump into this. I am soooooo glad I took that plunge, this pulled me in straight away.
Twenty-seven year old Everlee is determined to get to the bottom of the truth surrounding the ‘Wild Man' who resides in the forest since he was a child (5 years old) raising himself, and to find out if he actually exists, or if he’s just a myth, she knows within her heart of hearts that its not just mere gossip as two people have laid eyes on him. She's been obsessing over him for years. So she goes in search of him within the 'Blackridge national Forest' to document the story for the magazine she works for.
It doesn't take her long to find him, or to put it bluntly for him to track her down.
📚 '𝐇a𝐧d𝐬o𝐦e i𝐬 𝐭o𝐨 𝐭a𝐦e a w𝐨r𝐝. A𝐭t𝐫a𝐜t𝐢v𝐞 𝐩a𝐥e𝐬 𝐢n c𝐨m𝐩a𝐫i𝐬o𝐧. S𝐞x𝐲 𝐜o𝐦e𝐬 𝐜l𝐨s𝐞, b𝐮t i𝐭s s𝐭i𝐥l n𝐨t s𝐭r𝐨n𝐠 𝐞n𝐨u𝐠h. 𝐎u𝐭r𝐚g𝐞o𝐮s𝐥y, 𝐝e𝐯a𝐬t𝐚t𝐢n𝐠l𝐲 𝐠o𝐫g𝐞o𝐮s i𝐬 𝐭h𝐞 𝐨n𝐥y w𝐚y t𝐨 𝐝e𝐬c𝐫i𝐛e '𝐖i𝐥d M𝐚n'
This untamed, uncivilised, wild man takes her back to his structure further in the forest and claims her right away just as an animal would claim its mate 'MINE' It's rough, it's animalistic, it's not consensual.
Everlee is still determined to jornal her findings to take back home with her, but being tethered by rope with an intricate knot she struggles to break free from her binds. But escaping him is in the forefront of her mind.
But slowly things start to change and she worries that she may be suffering from stockholm syndrome as she's starting to take rather a liking to her captor and as he slowly adapts to speaking to her she has a broader understanding of the man.
This was beyond 🔥 with a lot of wild sex, and I mean a lot.
'𝐓R𝐈G𝐆E𝐑S' (in the beginning of their journey) like a wild animal with urges he’d rut into her any given opportunity arose, taking her by force (not consensual)

I honestly really loved this.
I was scared because I have been burned by Tarzan retellings before. So I went in with speculation even though I was tentitively excited. This was my first Alex Grayson so I went for this purely based on the description.
This book goes hard right from the start, so heed the warnings because we kick it off with the hardest parts. However, I was expecting that given the situation and then I wanted to see how the author could make me fall for this Wild Man as Everlee does. I will say that I was worried a few times HOW dark this might get. He gives her no quarter and no place to hide. She is literally tied to him from the start.
Being literally stripped of everything Everlee has and having to rely completely on Wild Man for safety, food, warmth, and care... there's no choice BUT to fall for him. They start off with a bit of a language barrier so she is forced to find other ways to communicate and learn the day to day.
I liked that we also got Wild Man's POV, yes, he does have another name but I won't spoil that for you. Once we get to see his mind and heart, it made it much easier to grow to love him. He's been so alone and the story of how he got that way just hurt so much. He really had me by the heart AND the throat by the end.
There were a few little nods to the Tarzan mythos and I enjoyed when those popped up. I was even longing for my own Wild Man a few times... maybe not quite how Everlee gets him though..
Also this was steamy as all get out. hot dang! Do not read in public, I tell ya. Especially once we get past the non con.
Really my only gripe is that things wrapped up too neatly and quick for me. I could have used a few more chapters to come to terms with everything. Overall this was very solid and I would reread this the next time I'm craving this type of story. I also want to try more by this author.
4.5 stars
5 on the spice scale
CW: kidnapping, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, pregnancy, drugging, snakes, blood, illness, and loss of family members

Tarzan retellings are my guilty pleasure. There I said it. Although I don't feel all that guilty about it. Guess it's just my pleasure! But there are just certain things in fiction I love a little extra to see. Give me a Tarzan retelling or a bodyguard romance, throw in age gap, among other things, and I'm the happiest clam in tropeland.
This, my friends, is a kind of Tarzan retelling, but it's not your Disney-esque retelling, oh no.
The Wild Man by Alex Grayson is dark, or at least it starts out that way. The premise is simple enough; our FMC Everlee is a journalist looking for a scoop on the Wild Man that was raised and lives in the woods. She goes looking for him, leaving a worried brood of family and friends behind, and she finds him alright, or more so, he finds her.
The start of the relationship between Everlee and the Wild Man, Fey, is heavily non-con, and this really isn't sugarcoated. The Wild Man's base animal instincts come out to claim Everlee, and she fights against it numerous times over the course of the beginning of their relationship. This progresses into things like body betrayal and dub con, before finally becoming more mutually consensual towards the middle of the book. Please keep this in mind before reading!
It also honestly makes me so happy that Everlee got to keep her Wild Man AND modern conveniences. Sometimes we see the FMC completely give up her modern life, and fully embrace the wild lifestyle, which is great and all. But sometimes we want the wild and the plumbing. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO LIVE MY DREAM?

The type of book where the smut is meant to be its one saving grace but it’s not even good. Feels like a juvenile effort. Not worth the money. I’m not mad, just bored.
I thought the heroine could have been more complicated. She was held hostage by a man she had the hots from afar, trailing him in the forest in order to write a story on him in the paper. The only time she was not predictable was when she made a joke about how living with Wild Man meant she finally lost the extra 5 pounds, but that shocked me because of the superficial dumb observation. 🤦🏻♀️ Dear lord. The hero was not sexy.
DNF at 83%.

I was drooling over this wild man and he is a VIRGIN. GWAD, I'M SOLD!!!🤤
MMC Fay was living alone over two decades and he was kind of scarred. After his parents tragic death, he raised himself and survived in forest. He wasn't good at showing his emotions but I could feel. He has a fox friend Teeja who had kids and a mate. This book is REALLY STEAMY. The sex, the bonding, chemistry and communication between them (Fay and Everly) was both emotional and sexual, I mean it was balanced.
Every time he made sure to mark her and make her feel like his queen. The way he claims her, save her and made sure to provide her safety was mesmerizing. I was gushing over his carings towards her and of course how could I not mention about the delicious way he calls her ‘Momor’...
The story started with primal kink or lust I should say. MMC Fay was uncivilized, his behavior was most likely animalistic. First two time was difficult for her couse she was reluctant then she started to feel and see him differently. I don't blame him for those moment cause he didn't even knew what rape was...(This word was way out of his dictionary.)
Safety:
Our MMC Wild man aka Fay was a virgin and she was his first *swooning*.
She was experienced (had been with five men I guess).
HEA

⭐️⭐️.5
Safety warnings:
- No cheating
- No OW/OM drama
- R*pe
- Dub-con
- Physical assault
- Abduction
- S*xual abuse/assault
- Violence
- Loss of loved ones
- Drugging
- HEA
This is a dark Tarzan retelling. There is r*pe that happens between the MMC and FMC so please be aware.
I feel like the ending was rushed? I wanted to see their lives outside of the forest more and see how he integrated back into society.
There were a few plot holes for me that bugged me.
Overall I just was not a big fan of this book.

If you want to read like a Tarzan safe romance with sexy hot jungle man that never dates before and a VIRGIN, READ THIS….
Cause it’s hot and it’s nature. A very hot nature 😋
I don’t want to write a lot of review here because it’s not much to write here as well tbh. Cause usually my reviews is about the couple meeting here and that, the drama ect.
BUT WITH THIS BOOK, It’s very light actually with the romance and the whole story of the couple. It comes with a tragic story about the past but not too heavy… And not too deep either tho.
There are certain things I don’t like for sure and I don’t support. But tbh, after reading the whole thing I sympathize with what I don’t like and support tho.
FROM THE BEGINNING TILL THE END IT IS SAFE THO…
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE WHOLE BOOK IS SOOOOOO MUCH ABOUT S3X 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT. S.E.X 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 THE S3X IS JUST WOWWW MIND BLOWING AND VERY HOOOT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 THE HERO KNOWS AND MASTER ON WORSHIPING THE HEROINE’S BODY 🔥🔥
“I took her. I marked her flesh for all to see. I left my scent on her as a warning to all other predators. I planted my seed inside her, the first of many times to create an offspring. This female was mine.”
“This mine. All of you mine.”
“The moment my momor’s lips press against mine, I know every single inch of her is and will always, forever be mine. This female was the reason I was born. She’s the reason I breathe and is the reason I fought so hard to stay alive after Peepa and Noeny were killed by the big bear. I claimed her before she gave me her kiss, but after this moment, there is nothing that will ever keep me from her.
She is my female.
My woman.
The noeny to my babies.
My Ever.
My momor.”
The wild man aka tarzan virgin man right here is soooo addicted and obsessed with the heroine sooooo much!!!!!
‼️‼️‼️VIRGIN HERO, none virgin heroine tho. for a virgin hero, the hero is VERY POSSESSIVE AND VERY PROTECTIVE, the heroine have four protective brothers and dad, No cheating, it has separation but not too long tho and obviously both never go to anyone, no drama with ow and om. The drama is only with family tho. The hero and heroine age is bellow 30 years old (bellow). The romance, the chemistry is freakin romantic tho! and even tho sometimes the hero don’t know what to do (cause he has been living in the jungle for more than 20 years) he is smart tho and slowly making things right for the heroine. The hero knows and mastered on defending himself. The hero have a tragic past and growing up it was sad for him but never use that as something to bring into the relationship tho. no ex boyfie from the heroine that shows up. no mean friends and no bullying and no strip club sh*t 🤣 love at first sight, and most importantly, HAPPY ENDING AND HAVE TWINS 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
‼️‼️‼️Warnings and triggers: The hero did rap3 the beroine at first because he has been living in the wild for many years and never seen a female, so when he see one especially the heroine being close by he did what he did. It was wrong tho. But i mean, what do you expect of a man that never seen a woman before and just do what he see on animals do? So yeah. Death, PTSD and scary animals!!!!!
(I skipped the wild scary animals part 🥲🤣🤣🤣)
⚡️⚡️⚡️THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING MY REVIEW. Even if you hate my review i still say thank you so much cause you spend your time reading this one👻 I’m not a professional reviewer or professional reader. I’m just someone who likes to read novels that is safe and no cheating whatsoever. And many more that i like lol😆 I DID NOT GET PAID TO DO THIS. This is just basically me writing my review based on my personal opinion about the book if it’s safe or what I will write it all down just the way i like it 😏 I know my review can be very straightforward with the way i write it down all of it and not a professional writing because again I’m not professional reviewer anyway. And whatever negativity you might think of what i write or what my thoughts are on my review about a book, me and you are not the same person. I have my own types of book and you have your own. You have your own thoughts and same with me. You can’t control what I should write on my review and neither should I. I WILL NOT TOLERATE NEGATIVE COMMENT AND I WON’T EVER REPLIED TO IT. If you still don’t like what i write and my disclaimer here, IT’S A YOU PROBLEM. NOT MINE😙 HAVE A GREAT DAY❤️❤️❤️
Types of book that I’m looking for: SAFE, safe all the way from the beginning till the end🥵 No cheating, no unnecessary childish drama. Not too much OW DRAMA cause they are loud and annoying lol. NO to still having feelings about a ex especially wants go get back together tf no. NO to friends with benefits and still seeing other people type of sh*t. NO to hero or heroine who said i love you and have been obsessed but still likes to fvck around yeah big NO to that sh*t. NOOO to still married or still in a relationship with someone else while liking the main character, yeah they have to be single since the beginning. NOOO to a long separation and have someone else they have s3x with during the separation. NOO to too many times of separation and breaking up sh*t. NOO to toxic narcissistic characters.
I preferred the characters are loyal to the core, over the top possessive heroes since the beginning and never stops, main characters have unique jobs or talents, the hero adores and obsessed with the heroine so much, the hero fell harder for the heroine and don’t want let her go and fight for her. And most importantly EPILOGUE AND ESPECIALLY THE DECADES LATER SCENE…. HAPPY ENDING IS A MUST. Chemistry is a must too 🙏🏼
Cause it’s hot and it’s nature. A very hot nature 😋

“I took her. I marked her flesh for all to see. I left my scent on her as a warning to all other predators. I planted my seed inside her, the first of many times to create an offspring. This female was mine.”
“This mine. All of you mine.”
“The moment my momor’s lips press against mine, I know every single inch of her is and will always, forever be mine. This female was the reason I was born. She’s the reason I breathe and is the reason I fought so hard to stay alive after Peepa and Noeny were killed by the big bear. I claimed her before she gave me her kiss, but after this moment, there is nothing that will ever keep me from her.
She is my female.
My woman.
The noeny to my babies.
My Ever.
My momor.”
The wild man aka tarzan virgin man right here is soooo addicted and obsessed with the heroine sooooo much!!!!!
‼️‼️‼️VIRGIN HERO, none virgin heroine tho. for a virgin hero, the hero is VERY POSSESSIVE AND VERY PROTECTIVE, the heroine have four protective brothers and dad, No cheating, it has separation but not too long tho and obviously both never go to anyone, no drama with ow and om. The drama is only with family tho. The hero and heroine age is bellow 30 years old (bellow). The romance, the chemistry is freakin romantic tho! and even tho sometimes the hero don’t know what to do (cause he has been living in the jungle for more than 20 years) he is smart tho and slowly making things right for the heroine. The hero knows and mastered on defending himself. The hero have a tragic past and growing up it was sad for him but never use that as something to bring into the relationship tho. no ex boyfie from the heroine that shows up. no mean friends and no bullying and no strip club sh*t 🤣 love at first sight, and most importantly, HAPPY ENDING AND HAVE TWINS 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
‼️‼️‼️Warnings and triggers: The hero did rap3 the beroine at first because he has been living in the wild for many years and never seen a female, so when he see one especially the heroine being close by he did what he did. It was wrong tho. But i mean, what do you expect of a man that never seen a woman before and just do what he see on animals do? So yeah. Death, PTSD and scary animals!!!!!
(I skipped the wild scary animals part 🥲🤣🤣🤣)
⚡️⚡️⚡️THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING MY REVIEW. Even if you hate my review i still say thank you so much cause you spend your time reading this one👻 I’m not a professional reviewer or professional reader. I’m just someone who likes to read novels that is safe and no cheating whatsoever. And many more that i like lol😆 I DID NOT GET PAID TO DO THIS. This is just basically me writing my review based on my personal opinion about the book if it’s safe or what I will write it all down just the way i like it 😏 I know my review can be very straightforward with the way i write it down all of it and not a professional writing because again I’m not professional reviewer anyway. And whatever negativity you might think of what i write or what my thoughts are on my review about a book, me and you are not the same person. I have my own types of book and you have your own. You have your own thoughts and same with me. You can’t control what I should write on my review and neither should I. I WILL NOT TOLERATE NEGATIVE COMMENT AND I WON’T EVER REPLIED TO IT. If you still don’t like what i write and my disclaimer here, IT’S A YOU PROBLEM. NOT MINE😙 HAVE A GREAT DAY❤️❤️❤️
Types of book that I’m looking for: SAFE, safe all the way from the beginning till the end🥵 No cheating, no unnecessary childish drama. Not too much OW DRAMA cause they are loud and annoying lol. NO to still having feelings about a ex especially wants go get back together tf no. NO to friends with benefits and still seeing other people type of sh*t. NO to hero or heroine who said i love you and have been obsessed but still likes to fvck around yeah big NO to that sh*t. NOOO to still married or still in a relationship with someone else while liking the main character, yeah they have to be single since the beginning. NOOO to a long separation and have someone else they have s3x with during the separation. NOO to too many times of separation and breaking up sh*t. NOO to toxic narcissistic characters.
I preferred the characters are loyal to the core, over the top possessive heroes since the beginning and never stops, main characters have unique jobs or talents, the hero adores and obsessed with the heroine so much, the hero fell harder for the heroine and don’t want let her go and fight for her. And most importantly EPILOGUE AND ESPECIALLY THE DECADES LATER SCENE…. HAPPY ENDING IS A MUST. Chemistry is a must too 🙏🏼

Genre: Erotica
Type: Standalone
POV: First Person - Dual (Mostly female)
Rating:
Journalist Everlee (Ever) Adair had been intrigued by the tale of the Wild Man since she first heard about him. Determined to uncover the truth, she ventured into the wilderness, not realizing how profoundly it would change her life.
Despite her outdoorsy upbringing, Ever found herself surprisingly unprepared when left to her own devices. Her bad decisions landed her in trouble, but I liked how she cared when it mattered. Wild Man was endearing in his own way and I loved how he managed to survive all those years.
The book started strong, but I felt it was quite repetitive in the middle. Thankfully, towards the end, the story became more exciting.
The Wild Man is a story of endurance and survival. It would appeal to readers looking for an erotic Tarzan retelling.

Everlee: 'I'm going to do whatever I can to escape'
Also Everlee:
This was very twisted and raw- I was a bit frustrated with it initially, and it took me a bit to get into the story, but once we got to read through the MMC's POV I was really invested. It played out really interestingly, and was overall a really solid read🫡.

The h was just about dumb as hell for her grand idea of going out alone on the woods to find a rabid man as well as turning off her gps tracker, and expecting nothing to go wrong. But I did actually like this book

Smutty retelling of Tarzan
I didn’t LOVE this like many of my friends, but it really was a Jac thing. First, I wasn’t really in the mood for straight smut… And more importantly, young Jac had a HUGE crush on Tarzan and George of the Jungle, so it sorta crushed my little preteen heart to read all the rapey/non-con stuff the first many chapters. 🤷♀️
Everlee/Ever has been fascinated with the local lore of the Wild Man, a man that has been living alone in the local forest since he was orphaned as a young child. She volunteers to write an article and sets up to track the elusive Wild Man. When she finds him, she’s in for a surprise as the hunter becomes the prey.
I skimmed chunks of this, so I may have missed something, but you’re going to have to just go with the premise because IMO the whole Tarzan thing doesn’t work as well when he’s living in a State Park in the USA close enough that he can walk to her house when he needs to. You’d think the local authorities would’ve investigated when they got word an orphaned 5-year-old was living in the forest.
Bottom Line- It was alright. I did like both mc’s, I just prefer a little more plot for 300+ pages of smut. It did pick up, but the first 50% was very repetitive.

September 9, 2024 DNF @30%🙃🤡💀
The writing is very primitive. I get that this isn't high literature and simply pure smut, but the heroine's thoughts slayed me. She says she's trained FOR years by her family to fight and live in the wilderness, but instead of saying spear she calls it sOmE sTiCk , instead of actually naming the plant, she says sOmE leaf etc. 🤡🆘🤬
also, everything else is also simply not for me🤷🏼♀️

Children - this is NOT a safe book for you to read. You really need to check those triggers before you proceed. This book was ok for me. I'd say it's probably a 3, but I'm currently rounding to 4 for reasons I can't explain.
Everlee (27, journalist) has been intrigued by the stories of a wild man who lives in a forest, rumored to have been lost there since he was five years old. She decides to write a story on him and hikes through the wilderness to locate him. When she finds him, he refuses to let her go!
Everlee spends the first week or so trying to escape him, until Stockholm syndrome sets in when Fey (28, virgin, Wild Man) continues to give her the big 'O' on the regular. She's torn between enjoying her new life with Fey and missing her family and the comforts of the modern world. Eventually, her father and 50 brothers track her down to rescue her. Things get complicated from there. This couple does get a HEA.
So.... I liked some parts of this book, and it's probably because it reminds me a LOT of the book Transcendence by Shay Savage (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...), but it lacks the same quality of writing.
TRIGGERS: I usually put these at the end of my review, but I'll go ahead and start with them this time. First claiming is at 14% and it is 100000% non-consensual. Their first few times are all noncon. I'll expand on that in my description of him. Other trigger might be that they kill and eat small animals. None of it is gruesome, but it might bother a few so I thought I'd mention it.
SEX: As I said, first time is at 14%, and after that - it's ALL sex. I'd guess at least 60% of the book is them doing something sexual. There's a lot of smut. Can't really blame him for going crazy for the P after he's had his first taste! There's also some fisting - but I don't think it actually went in up to his wrist. It was wild and I kind of grazed that part because fisting is NOT my kink. There's also sex during her period - it was pretty bloody. LOL. Lots of oral.
FEY: Fey has been in the wild, away from society, since he was 5. He remembers a few things about his parents, but not enough to know proper etiquette (What? I couldn't think of a better way to say it). The only things he knows about females comes from watching animals mate in the wild and some nudie magazines. He's been alone all this time, so it makes sense that he'd see his first female and decide to claim her and mate her. He really is super sweet and I fell for him.
Everlee: She's ok. The thing that annoyed me the freaking most is that she kept calling him "Wild Man", even after she knew his name!!! Her yelling, "Yes, Wild Man, fuck me harder!" was just weird.
BELIEVE IT: The first half of the book, I was on board because it was all her POV (which I usually hate). With him not speaking, it helped me believe that he really was a "wild man". Once we got to his POV, it started getting wonky. He goes from being non-verbal and then speaking perfectly fine. He seemed to catch on just a little too quickly to a lot of things.
ENDING: I wasn't exactly happy with it. Seemed a little too convenient and I was honestly disappointed in it. I think it was probably my preferences and not actually that the ending was bad.
So - if you want smut with a lot of noncon and not much substance, you'd probably enjoy it.
If you want an actual love story with amazing writing, check out Transcendence.
I know every single inch of her is and will always, forever be mine. This female was the reason I was born. She’s the reason I breathe and is the reason I fought so hard to stay alive
She is my female. My woman. My Ever. My momor.

The smut was insane lol. It hit hardddddd🥵🥵🥵

No OM drama - Mention that she's been with guys before, and WOW...Did it make our little wild man jealous😈😈😈
Every time he called her "momor" it did something to my heart...😍

‼️SPOILERS‼️SPOILERS‼️SPOILERS‼️
Safety Info: H is a total virgin, never having even touched another person, much less a woman since he was 5 years old. h has had relationships before and is not a virgin but no mention of how long it’s been for her. No OW/OM drama. There are several instances of rape between H and h.
Hero: Wild Man/Fey/Phenix, 28 years old
Heroine: Everlee, 27 years old, journalist
OW Drama: none
OM Drama: none. There is jealousy from Wild Man when he finds out Everlee has been with other men but that’s it.
Intimacy: Their first few sexual interactions are when Wild Man rapes Everlee. The first time happens in the 4th chapter so pretty early on in the story. He rapes her 3 times on page before she then starts to physically enjoy it but is still mentally hating it. It’s not long after that when she fully embraces the situation. There is A LOT of sex in this book, practically every chapter.
3rd Act Breakup/Separation: They are separated by force when Everlee’s dad and brothers come to rescue her. Both her and Wild Man are pining for each other and want to be back together. I think they were separated for around 10 days.
HEA/Epilogue: HEA with an Epilogue 7 years out. It doesn’t mention marriage but they have boy/girl twins and are very much in love. I wish it detailed more what Wild Man ended up doing with his life. Was he able to get a job? Everlee mentions how well he’s adapted but I would like to have known some more details even if it was in a bonus chapter or something.
My Thoughts: I read this totally by accident. It came up on my Goodreads feed and after reading some of the reviews, I became curious. I downloaded the book with the intention of just seeing how bad the rape scenes were to determine if I wanted to read it at a later time. Well, I started reading and didn’t stop until I was done.
It was such a different plot than I have become accustomed to with the normal romance books I read and I couldn’t put it down.
It does have several scenes of rape in it and I know this will sound bad but I really wasn’t too bothered by them. They were described but not graphic and I felt disconnected from Everlee’s emotional and physical pain during and after the incidents. She’s mostly angry afterwards and while she’s in pain during the rapes there are no details about how her body feels in between. He’s described as being hung like a horse and he doesn’t prepare her so I expected more details about her suffering. It felt kind of glossed over. I don’t know if that was on purpose by the author because it really wasn’t detailed like I would expect from a book that was very detailed in the rest of the sex scenes. I don’t want to say I was understanding of why Wild Man did what he did but I did understand his mindset. He’s been living alone in the wild since he was 5 years old. His only example of sexual interactions is from watching the animals around him. How he took Everlee is exactly how animals do it. So while it was horrible that it happened, it made sense to the story.
I really enjoyed the dialogue between Everlee and Wild Man while they were getting to know each other. At first his speech is very stilted but as they interact more, he gets better and is able to share more about how he survived and what he endured.
I was glad for the chapters in Wild Man’s pov because you could see how dedicated he was to Everlee’s care and happiness even though he went about it in disturbing ways sometimes. He saw her as his mate that he needed to take care of and protect and he wasn’t going to let anything interfere with that, even Everlee.
I liked Everlee’s strength throughout everything she endured. She never became annoying or tstl. The only thing I really didn’t enjoy is that even after she knew his name, she kept calling him Wild Man. It was just so weird for that to be his name even at the end when he joined her in the civilized world. I can understand using it as a playful nickname but the dude deserved to be humanized with his actual name, not to be called what the legends about him named him.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. It wasn’t too angsty and the story flowed well. No major grammar or formatting issues that I can recall. I will definitely be checking out more of this authors work.

4⭐️ 3🌶️
📝 REVIEW & THOUGHTS:
We’ve got a naive journalist FMC who wants to find the Wild Man and study him for a story. Well let’s say she gets what she wanted, and has very close encounters with this Wild Man. Much closer than she intended to.
The beginning of their dynamic is pretty brutal, there are multiple on page noncon scenes (painful r@pe scenes, she does not enjoy herself at all at first). That was surely not that pleasant to read. This story surely isn’t for the faint hearted or for those looking for a Disney Tarzan retelling. None of that. It’s pretty dark, primal and raw.
🏷️ TROPES & TAGS (possible spoilers):
Genre/subgenre: contemporary dark romance / dark Tarzan retelling
Pairing: MF
POV: 1st person, dual
Angst: medium
Burn: fast
Vibe/mood: intense, dark, primal
Pet names: momor / Wild Man
Characters’ ages: 27F/28M
HEA: yes
Tarzan man x modern woman
Naive FMC
Captive/captor
Stockholm Syndrome
Alpha male type of guy
Forced proximity
“Mine”
Size difference
Jealous/possessive MCs
Over-protective MMC
Mild language barrier (he spokes in a broken English and gets better the more he uses it)
🌶️ SPICE & K!NKS (possible spoilers):
Heat: 11 scenes, medium heat
Choking & hand collaring
Anal play (both MCs are on the receiving and giving ends. A wonderful thing to see in MF romances, a first for me)
Biting, marking & hickeys
Fisting
Breeding (not super heavy kink-wise)
Rough s*x
Oral
Grinding
He says “My pussy” and she says “my cock” 🤭
Rimming
Free use
⚠️ CONTENT WARNINGS (possible spoilers):
Dubcon: yes
Noncon: yes
OM/OW: no
3rd act breakup: no, but forced separation yes
Mentions of mom’s death from illness (breast cancer, past)
Mentions of parents’ deaths from animal attack (past)
Pregnancy
Snake attack scene
Violence
😤 LITTLE RANT (possible spoilers):
I wished we got more chapters in the MMC pov, and I kinda wish it was heavier on the breeding aspect 🤭 But all in all, no rant for this book :)))
💬 QUOTES (possible spoilers):

📝 REVIEW & THOUGHTS:
We’ve got a naive journalist FMC who wants to find the Wild Man and study him for a story. Well let’s say she gets what she wanted, and has very close encounters with this Wild Man. Much closer than she intended to.
The beginning of their dynamic is pretty brutal, there are multiple on page noncon scenes (painful r@pe scenes, she does not enjoy herself at all at first). That was surely not that pleasant to read. This story surely isn’t for the faint hearted or for those looking for a Disney Tarzan retelling. None of that. It’s pretty dark, primal and raw.

😤 LITTLE RANT (possible spoilers):
I wished we got more chapters in the MMC pov, and I kinda wish it was heavier on the breeding aspect 🤭 But all in all, no rant for this book :)))
💬 QUOTES (possible spoilers):
He drops his face closer and bares his teeth, growling out a single word. “Mine.”
“Stop!” he growls the word, once again reminding me he can speak. He just chooses not to. “Then let me go,” I spew back at him. “Never. Mine.”
And why is she still fighting me when I want to breed with her? I expected a fight the first time. It’s up to the male to master his female to show her he’s strong enough to provide and protect her. Does she not believe I’m a worthy mate?
“They sent you to me. Noeny and Peepa gave me you, so I won’t be alone.”

I have to admit, this plot intrigued me a lot. Although I did wish we got more into detail how the H lives his life /adapts to the modern world.

She's 27, but her inner monologues, the way she talked, and behaved were more like a 16 year old girl.

This book was fucking intense and the way it shifted during the progress of the story. The firsst part of the book is heavy on triggers. 4.5 stars. Second Tarzan retelling I've read. A good book when needing a romance that gets very dark in the beginning but develops to something more sweet(well kinda).

For me, this is the type of book that you get swept into, and when you finish it and all the noises of the real world seep back in, your heart feels bereft of the love, the adventure that you once had. I made a home for myself in the forest, with Wild Man, and I was perfectly happy witnessing the love grow between him and his Ever. The scenery, the peace, the home in the forest was simple, Wild Man and Ever’s oasis from society, even if their relationship started under such control. For me, there’s was so much more to this story than what some may find triggering. It’s a violation, tricky to try to eventually pull a romantic product from, even when the act itself was done without maliciousness, but I feel like it was accomplished. It was an emotional ride, learning of Wild Man, of his experiences, of his loses, and of what he gained from Ever being brave in her quest for knowledge about the mysterious Wild Man in the woods. And that’s what stands out most to me. Not the offenses of the beginning, but the life full of love found by the end. For those of us that were able to push through, I’m hoping we all can look back on this story and feel the missing pieces its completion left in us, like only a great story can.
I’m so happy that this book was available on Kindle Unlimited, it didn’t debut that way. I will be buying a copy for my library, immediately. This is a new author for me and I will happily read more of her shit.
5 stars.

This book had everything I imagined a Tarzan retelling would have and I loved every second of it.
Mainly at the start, it's dark and a little brutal since there are a few descriptive rape and noncon scenes, but it gets better and better and the chemistry between MCs is off the charts.
I LOVED the spice and how passionate Wild Man was. He could be a brute one moment and a sweetheart the next.
I loved the heroine as well, once she acknowledged her feelings towards Wild Man she fully embraced them and lived them. They loved each other so much 😭
The cherry on top is he's as inexperienced as it gets as you can imagine, since living in the wild most his life but she wasn't a virgin. It's so hard to come across this trope so I was very pleased :)

FMC got on my nerves from the first paragraph itself. She's fatphobic, used the word "exotic" to describe her friend's eyes, vehemently against abortion, is a pick me. Also what do you mean she's 27? I swear to God you could have told me she's 15 and I would have believed you because of how immature she is. Also she gets raped thrice and gets over it within a paragraph? The author didn't even try to make this decent. It was meant to be just porn but even the smut wasn't sexy btw. How can it be with only grunts and a hundred "mine" uttered every second? Who finds that hot? Calling it a Tarzan retelling is an insult to Jane and Tarzan. I have read other Tarzan retellings and this was absolute garbage. I'm surprised it's the same author who wrote Endless Obsession which I loved.

Está horrible. 🤢 El man es un violín, ella le da síndrome de Estocolmo, no confíe en la narración de ella y tenía unos pensamientos que me dejaron dudando de ella como persona.🤢 Llegué a entender cómo pensaba y porque actuaba él así (es decir se creo salvaje y como un animal) pero gas, llave, gas todo. 🤢

This was a wild and spicy ride, friends!
Everlee is a journalist and in search of her next story about The Wild Man, who supposedly grew up and lives in the forest alone. So the rumors say. After much research, she thinks she's found the area he inhabits.
Wild Man woke up with his instincts on alert. He keeps an extra close watch of his surroundings when he feels this way. Then he sees her. He follows the female for a while to observe her. She's obviously looking for him, but he won't let her find him until he's ready. She's the most beautiful female he's ever seen. He decides he's going to keep her.
MINE.
Things start off very dark and heart-pounding in this story. Not having human contact and only animals to observe as he grows up leads to, you guessed it, animal like behavior. This results in shows of repeated dominance.
Evers goal is to find a way to escape. But he keeps her tied up at all times. There are no opportunities. However, after getting a better understanding of the Wild Man, Ever begrudgingly starts to develop feelings. After weeks and weeks of learning about him and his past, real love forms.
The ending is crazy and more heart-palpatations will be had! Overall, it was a great storyline, very modern-day Tarzan-esk vibes, and VERY spicy. I felt ALL the feels in this one. From far left with anger and a little hate, then every step in between, to absolutely loving and feeling for these two.
You will find:
🖤 Obsessive/Possessive MMC
🖤 MINE / Mate
🖤 Breeding
🖤 Protector/Alpha
🖤 Non-Con scenes
🖤 Death/Abandonment
🖤 Lots of Schmex ... lots 😆
I will be buying a trophy copy for my shelf! Great read if you enjoy the dark romances!!
