The Wilde Series
WILDE SERIES (BOXED SET OF 3 FULL LENGTH NOVELS!)
Too Wilde to Tame
Mia Wilde has a reputation for being too wild to tame, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to let someone get away with distributing provocative photographs of her. She needs to find out who is threatening her before her overprotective brothers find out. For that, she’s going to enlist the help of private investigator Cameron Sinclair – - the one man who seems immune to her flirtatious and outrageous personality. But Mia soon learns that appearances can be very deceiving.
Born to Be Wilde
Ex-Marine turned security specialist Joel Wilde thrives on the high-wire thrills that come with his job. And he isn’t about to give all that up to settle down – - not even with a sexy woman like Lora Marshall. Which means that while he’s protecting her from a violent gang, he’ll need to set a few ground rules to keep things professional. Good thing he’s always been a rule-breaker at heart.
Wild for Him
Ex-Marine and security agent Ben Cabrera isn’t going to complain about his latest assignment protecting the daughter of a gubernatorial candidate. After all, spending 24/7 with Christy Delacroix isn’t exactly a chore. But it turns out that Christy’s seduction tactics are top notch and it soon becomes impossible to keep things strictly professional . . .

About the author
Janelle Denison
161 books559 followersIt’s hard for me to imagine that I’ve been writing romances for over twenty years now! I started at the young age of 21, just after I got married. Reading romances, and then writing them, came about as a result of having too much time on my hands. When I first married my husband Don, I was working a regular nine to five job and he worked swing shift, from four in the afternoon until midnight. It wasn’t an ideal schedule for newlyweds, and in order to pass those hours when I was alone I started reading romances, and eventually tried my hand at writing them.
The road to publication wasn’t an easy one. It took me five years and dozens of rejections to make my first sale, which was to Harlequin for their “Stolen Moments” line. THE FAMILY MAN, written under the pseudonym Danielle Kelly, was one of the twelve novellas published in 1993 for this promotional line.
It took me another two and a half years (and more rejections!) to sell my second book. HEAVEN’S GIFT (written under my own name) was published in October 1995 by Leisure Love Spell for their “An Angel’s Touch” series. Another two years passed of collecting even more rejections before I finally sold to Harlequin Romance and Harlequin Temptation. At the time, writing for both Temptation and Harlequin Romance provided me with a wonderful creative outlet for both my modern, ultra-sexy stories, and my warmer, traditional romances. But as the years passed, I realized how much I enjoyed writing the sexier stories and streamlined my career accordingly so that I was no longer writing the sweet traditional romances, and instead focused on the hotter, sexier stories for Temptation and Blaze.
After writing over two dozen books for Harlequin, I decided to branch out. I wanted to write anthologies and single titles, and came up with an idea about three sexy brothers with the last name of “Wilde”. Little did I know that those Wilde brothers would become such a sensation with readers. In the second Wilde book, WILDE THING, four Wilde cousins were introduced, and readers started writing in for their stories, too. It’s been a joy and pleasure to write each of the Wilde stories, and I want to thank everyone for purchasing those books and putting them on the USA Today Bestseller list!
I’ve been a full-time writer for years, which consists of being deep in deadlines, writing proposals (growling at the husband to fix a glitch in the computer so I can get back to work!), perusing contracts, line-edits (stressing over a scene that won’t work or characters that just won’t talk or cooperate with my plans for them!), galleys, art-fact sheets, promotion, and other publishing paperwork. Admittedly, I wouldn’t trade all the craziness in for pantyhose, rush hour traffic, and a nine-to-five job again. Writing is hard work, but I find the rewards are well worth the effort. Fan letters are one of those priceless rewards, and can keep me on a high for days! I’ve met the most wonderful people through my books, some of which I now consider good friends.

I should know better, it´s not the first time I´ve made this mistake. But I do wonder why publishers send these books out in bundles as it definitely detracts as far as I am concerned.
The stories are fine, nicely put together, with good characterisation and plenty of sauce, but they are practically identical, which means reading them together is not a good idea.
X meets Y, both decide up front they only want an exciting affair, no strings. Both feelings grow over the course of a short, pre-agreed limit of a few weeks, one can´t face the terrible event in their past that messes up their current ability to hold down a relationship, the other is terribly understanding, helps them confront the issues, declares their love unconditionally and walks out to allow them to come to their senses in their own time. Y then confronts their past, and turns up on the doorstep of X, all is forgiven and marriage is proposed.
ARgh - 4 times in 3 novels!
At least on two occasions it's the woman who is holding out on settling down, but still...
oh yes, and the proof-reading got progressively worse as the series went on, becoming outright confusing at points. (Was Gina or Carrie at the club?)

Same story ... over and over
On the first book, I thought this was going to be a 4-5 star review. On the second, I decided it was between 3-4, but didn't want to punish the author for Amazon and Goodreads not providing the ability to give 3.5.... on the final, I can barely review at 3. The themes are the same, circumstances are the same, conversations are the same, mental monologues are the same, same background traumas, same issues, same endings, and to top it off, poor proofreading. The only thing that changed were the characters and roles. Sorry, but I became weary half way through the last book. Otherwise, decent writing, so not a total bust.

Loved these stories about the Wilde men and their friends. Loved reading them in a series with not having to wait for another ebook to come out. Loved the characters and beautiful love stories. Can't wait for Kevin's love story.

Good read
Nice set of books that link brothers and cousins and war buddies, each has their own story. I particularly liked the third book which had two stories including a friend and her potential future. Sweet and sexy reads.
