Trust can't live in the same space as secrets and lies.

Wren Murphy is seeking a fresh start when she returns to Blue Haven for university. But she's keeping more than one secret that could blow her world apart. She's not the same girl who summered in the beach town for the last five years.

Brady Willis' dream has always been to follow in his father's footsteps and become a pro-surfer. But now his family is imploding after a TropSets Surf Fest scandal, and he's reassessing what's important in his life. Wren Murphy. His sister's best friend. The one that got away.

Brady's determined to win Wren back. Easier said than done when she won't even look him in the eye.

Can Wren learn to trust again? And will Brady convince her that he's the one she's meant to be with?

I devoured this book! My heart melts for Brady! He is an absolute sweetheart! An asshat at times but a perfect golden retriever for Wren.
This story takes place between Newcastle NSW and a gorgeous place called Blue Haven, not far from Byron Bay. I felt like I was there, the way JL Skye tells a story is phenomenal! I swear I could smell the salty beach air at one point.

Wild hearts follows Wren and Brady, their journey, their trauma, their friendship, their relationships with others. I could get enough of this book and can't wait to dive into the next book in the series.

This a beautiful love story with an incredible coastal back drop and summer beach day vibes!

This is a lovely small town college romance with the FMC having some trauma but the way the trauma is written and how she works through it is just perfect.
It’s a standalone but also interconnected series.
Beautifully written and easy to read.
