ARC Read! 4.5⭐️
Omg, Caden and Lilibeth 🥹 I was SOOO excited for their story when I finished the last book. And I knew I was right when saying this is my favorite in the series. Most people don’t like a surprise pregnancy trope, but I will eat it up EVERY SINGLE TIME! And what’s better than a surprise pregnancy? When the FMC still has her V card 😌 and idk what it is, but anytime I read about the FMC’s pregnancy’s and how the men fall to their knees and cater to them always makes me cry 😭
The banter between Caden and Lilibeth was true frenemies banter and I absolutely loved it! Their tension had me droolingggg. This book was definitely way more spicy than the other ones and I ate it UP.
I loved both MC’s. Caden is a broken hero, my poor sweet man, heartbroken from his ex of 16 yrs that broke up with him because she was pretty much using him. He had some series trust issues, and I loved the growth of his character 🥹
Lilibeth is honestly the sweetest FMC ever. This girl has so much feelings and will speak her mind. There’s no way you can hate her, but she’s just so bubbly and so optimistic about everything. I really really loved her.
Together they made the perfect match! She brought Caden out of his shell and had him realize what real love is. I’m so happy that they both got what they wanted 🥹
Some of the conversations were a bit repetitive, BUT I understand why, because when you have multiple people asking you the same thing, you literally have to keep repeating it lol
I absolutely loved this book, and I am loving this whole series. It is seriously the cutest and sweetest series. It’s the type of series that makes you love each character and feel like your part of their family. And there’s nothing more wholesome than that ❤️

Review of advance copy received from Author
Who does not love a cowboy love story? I absolutely loved Wilde Flame by Kelly Elliott, the third book in her Love is a Cowboy series! Kelly Elliott has done it again! Wilde Flame is an incredible small-town enemies to lovers/surprise baby love story, which filled me with a rollercoaster of emotions. I was hooked from the first page, and it was impossible to put it down. I loved every moment on every page of this page turner. It is my FAVORITE book that I have read recently. Kelly Elliott continues to deliver incredibly written love stories that I LOVE to read, and she continues to be a must-read author for me. I love this incredible enemies to lovers love story, the River Falls, Colorado, and the amazing characters that were introduced, they feel like family! Wilde Flame is a love story between Lilibeth Asher, who owns Wonderland Whimsy and Caden Wilde, who works on his family’s ranch. Caden and Lilibeth always clash with each other when they are around one another. Caden is not looking for love after his long-time girlfriend, Rachel rejected his proposal several years ago. Conversation between Caden and Lilibeth flows so easily, I love the chemistry between them and the easy banter and flirting, and everything that they do together. Caden rescues Lilibeth during a snowstorm after she was thrown from one of Wilde’s horses while helping Emeline. Caden takes her to his home to ride out the snowstorm together. Things change between them, as their relationship changes. As Lilibeth and Caden spend more time together running into each other and spending Christmas night together things continue to change between them. I love the nicknames that Caden uses for Lilibeth, “Flower Child” for her love to have flowers in her hair and “Lili.” Lilibeth soon learns that she is pregnant. I love all the little things that Caden does for Lilibeth, especially their first date and going with her to all her appointments. I love the heart-to-heart conversation that take place in Wilde Flame, especially when Caden reveals the what happened the night he proposed to Rachel, and the conversations with his parents, Vivianne and Ladd. I love the local gossip column, The Daily Dirt and how Lilibeth and Caden are outed in the column, what Caden had to promise to do to delay the revelation. An unexpected plot twist and visitor strengthen their relationship. I love the books that Lilibeth discloses that she is reading, it is one of my favorite parts of the book. I love the description of the nursery, how Caden sketched it before knowing Lilibeth, and how Caden enlists the help of Rhett, Katie, and Jimmy with it. Another favorite part is Caden’s proposal to Lilibeth, the location, and significance of the location, and the description and significance of the engagement ring. I love the ending of Lilibeth and Caden’s love story, and the changes that take place so that they can have a life together. I love the changes that they are each willing to make to have a life with one another. I love the name that they chose for their baby girl, and that Emeline gives birth to a baby boy shortly thereafter. My favorite part of Wilde Flame is the epilogue that describes their wedding day, and the significance of Lilibeth’s wedding dress and hat. It perfectly wraps up their love story. Wilde Flame was an amazing small-town frenemies/surprise baby love story; I am so glad that Lilibeth and Caden got their happily ever after. Kelly Elliott definitely does not disappoint her readers with all the feels in Wilde Flame and has once again delivered an amazing story filled with everything that I have come to love about and expect from her books. Who does not love hot sexy cowboys, strong, passionate females, big loving families, and caring friends, who always support each other? I love how Kelly develops her characters in such a way that you fall in love with them and care about them much like a good friend and how she always manages to create the "perfect" heroine, who is a strong, sassy woman on her own, to balance out the sexy, swoon worthy cowboy. Kelly Elliott continues to deliver all that and so much more. I love the storyline of Wilde Flame, the romance, and the family dynamics, it was such an enjoyable book to read. Another favorite part of her book is how she incorporates the picture on the cover and the title of the book into the love story. I am not sure how she continues writing my favorite books that I love to read. I love that Kelly chooses dialogue that stays true to her characters. Wilde Flame is filled with all the heartbreaking and heartwarming moments, plot twists, and surprises that I have come to love and expect in a Kelly Elliott love story as well as moments that make me laugh, especially the secrets shared between the women on Lilibeth’s wedding day. Kelly Elliott continues to prove that she is an incredible storyteller. I love that she writes her stories in the first person from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting inside their minds and knowing their thoughts and how they really feel. I love all the characters in Wilde Flame. They feel like family and friends. I LOVE the Wilde family and their extended family, especially Vivianne and Ladd, all the interactions between the Caden and his siblings, Ensley, Emeline, and Gatlin and the family dynamic, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing. I love Lilibeth’s friendship with, Moreen, Ensley, and Emeline. I love the descriptions of River Falls. Who does not love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I loved every moment. Highly recommend this beautifully written love story. Received an advanced copy from the author.
Review of advance copy received from Indie Reviewers
As I turned the final page of Wilde Flame, the third book in Kelly Elliott’s Love is a Cowboy series, I’m not even slightly embarrassed to admit that I immediately flipped back to the beginning and started all over again. That alone says everything about how deeply this story captured my heart.
For me, nobody writes cowboy romance quite like Kelly Elliott. There is something so emotionally rich and effortlessly heartfelt about her storytelling, and Wilde Flame is another perfect example of why her books stay with readers long after the final chapter.
This wasn’t just a romance I enjoyed — it was one I completely felt.
From the very first page, Caden and Lilibeth’s story wrapped itself around my heart and refused to let go. Kelly Elliott has this incredible ability to create romances that feel deeply lived in, where every glance, every quiet moment, every shared memory carries meaning. It’s the little touches woven throughout the story — the old movies, the music, the comforting small-town moments — that elevate this from a beautiful romance into something truly unforgettable.
I fell hard for grumpy, guarded Caden Wilde almost instantly. After the heartbreak he’s endured, his reluctance to open himself up again felt so real and understandable. Then along comes sunshine-filled Lilibeth — his “Flower Child” — with her warmth, kindness, and unwavering light. After her parents retire and move to River Falls, Lilibeth buys her own shop so she can be close to them, and through her close friendship with Caden’s sister’s and family, their worlds begin intertwining more and more.
Between time spent around the ranch Caden loves so deeply and the constant moments that keep pulling them together, the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore no matter how hard Caden tries to fight it. Their connection was magnetic, tender, and emotionally charged in all the best ways.
What made this story shine so brightly for me was how authentic their emotional journey felt. Beneath the chemistry and attraction was this beautiful undercurrent of healing, trust, and learning how to risk your heart again. When the snowstorm leaves them stranded together, the tension and emotion between them finally ignite, but Kelly Elliott never rushes their story. Every hesitation, every fear, every hopeful moment felt earned.
By the end of Wilde Flame, my heart was overflowing. The romance, the emotion, the warmth of River Falls, and the depth of these characters made this one of those rare stories you don’t just read — you completely immerse yourself in it.
Kelly Elliott truly stands in a league of her own when it comes to cowboy romance. Time and time again she delivers stories filled with heart, soul, healing, and unforgettable love, and Wilde Flame might just be one of her most emotionally beautiful yet.

Wilde Flame
Book 3 in Love is a Cowboy Series
Rating: 5⭐️
Spice: 2🌶️
“You make something in me feel again, and that scares me, because I’m not sure I’m brave enough to ever give Anyone my heart again.”
“I can’t promise that life will always be easy or perfect, but I can promise that I’ll never leave you because when I look into your eyes, all i see is forever.”
Where do I even begin?! First off, STOP! If you haven’t read Wilde Ride, you need to start there. We first meet Lilibeth and Caden in book one and trust me—you’ll want to see how their story began!
Okayyyy now back to Wilde Flame. I could not put this book down. It was a one day read for me! Filled with so much tension and energy, the lethal looks Lilibeth and Caden gave each other were nothing compared to the burning desire between them. Ahhh and I was here for it all!
I wanted revenge for Caden because of the pain and heartbreak he went through. I felt the conflict he endured trying to guard his heart while also falling so deeply for Lilibeth. And ugh… the way he went from grumpy and guarded to an absolute sweetheart had me melting. I adored Lilibeth and her bright, shining personality. She’s compassionate, honest with her feelings, and never afraid to speak her truth. These two really navigated their emotions and situationship in such a mature and heartfelt way!
I am absolutely falling in love with the entire Wilde family. Seriously, a new favorite family of mine! They love fiercely, protect deeply, and somehow make you feel like part of them while reading.
If you’re ready to laugh, cry, swoon, and feel every emotion in between, definitely pick up Wilde Flame for your next smalltown romance read!

Review of advance copy received from Author
What do you get when you have a grumpy cowboy who meets a ray of sunshine? You get Caden Wilde and Lilibeth Asher!
Caden has a huge chip on his shoulder when it comes to love, believing perhaps he’s just not cut out for being in a relationship after spending years with who he thought was the love of his life only to be left holding the pieces. Lilibeth is relatively new to River Falls and owns the local perfumery. She is a bright ray of sunshine, only she grates on Caden’s last nerve. These two are frenemies, Caden not realizing Lilibeth has a crush on him.
A bad set of circumstances sees Caden softening towards Lilibeth and what ensues is a weekend neither will ever forget. Lilibeth would like more, but Caden is adamant not to cross the friend zone and struggles not to cross those lines. Admittedly, I wanted to throw my kindle several times and wanted to shake some sense into this Cowboy!!! No one writes Cowboys like Kelly Elliott! She just has a way of turning small town romances into an epic, swoon-worthy read!
As Caden and Lilibeth navigate their new found friendship, they realize their lives are about to change in ways neither of them expected. This adds a whole layer of complexity as they try to figure out their growing feelings for one another. Lilibeth begins to show Caden she is worthy of him opening up his heart to and what becomes of them is something everlasting. He’s long dreamed of someone to share his life with and in Lilibeth, he finds the perfect partner.
I loved everything about this Cowboy romance, including the entire Wilde Family, competitive game nights and psycho ex-girlfriends!

Wilde Flame (Love Is A Cowboy Series #3) - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 🌶🌶.75

Some of the tropes for this book are below:
🧡 Cowboy Romance
🧡 Accidental Pregnancy
🧡 Grumpy X Sunshine
🧡 Falling in love again
This book follows Lilibeth, a sweet, beautiful and such an independent individual, who moves to River Falls to be close to her parents and opens up her own perfume store.
Caden, the hot and sexy cowboy, had his heart broken from his long-time girlfriend, qhilat working on himself he refused to get into another relationship, until now. He works, and adores, his family's cattle farm and wishes to have a wife and raise his kids there one day.
Their connection was there from the get go, even though they were nemesis in the beginning, but their feelings for each other was always there. Caden definitely grows as a person, and gets to experience love and brightness that Lilibeth shows him. The chemistry between each of them is undeniable, and just grows when you continue reading.

Endearing Grumpy vs Sunshine Cowboy Romance
Lilibeth Asher used to dream about marrying a cowboy. They would live on a ranch and have two kids, a boy and a girl, and two dogs. The kids would follow their daddy all over the place, trying to be just like him. When Caden Wilde over hears this, he realizes that has been his dream too. Only after being betrayed by the one woman he thought he could trust implicitly, he will never be able to give what is left of his heart without wondering when they will break it. He is just not willing to take that risk. He uses anger as a tool to keep people away. He will not deny that he feels anything for Lilibeth. The problem with Lililbeth is that he feels too much. It makes him feel like he could lose control and he is not going to let that happen. This is a well written endearing enemies-to-lovers romance that is heartwarming and spicy. Caden may act all grumpy, but time after time he proves what an upstanding, caring guy he is. Lilibeth is the perfect woman to pull him out of anger to heal and feel again. The humorous banter throughout is a great addition to lighten things up and keep their story flowing. Love this series about the supportive and caring Wilde Family. Hope to read about Ensley Wilde next. We were given lots of little hints about what that could involve.
I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Review of advance copy
Oh Kelly, this one by far is my favorite! Caden and Lilibeth stole my heart! This is a must read, you will feel all the emotions and then some! 5 Wilde stars for this one!
Caden has put walls up around his heart, and he won't let anyone in since his long time girlfriend since high school walked away from him after he proposed. Now he just works the ranch, and has a fling here and there, nothing serious, never again. That is until Lilibeth is around, and is making him feel things he doesn't want to. But he has to stay away, he's grumpy after all. He just needs to keep his distance and he'll be fine, but that seems to be easier said than done lately.
Lilibeth has always crushed on Caden, and she tries to break through his tough exterior, but man is he mean. But after he saves her from freezing to death on the farm, they spend a few days together, talking and enjoying each other, when they finally give into their attraction! These two will light up the night, and will leave each other wanting more! But they agree, this can't continue, and vow to remain friends, until the next time that is!
I fell in love with these two, and I'm sure you will too! I don't want to give too much of their story away in my review, you need to read along and enjoy it first hand, and you will trust me! Grab this one asap!

Where do I even begin with this review?
Honestly I’ve been waiting for Lilibeth and Caden’s story since the first time we were ever introduced to them in Emeline and Levi’s book. I’ve loved their quick and witty banter from the very beginning.
Through this book we see both of them struggling with their feelings for each other. Caden’s self doubt, and Lilibeth’s constant worrying. We get to watch their relationship start to bloom during a snow storm that Caden went and rescued her in after she fell off of one of the ranches horses.
Then plot twist we get a surprise pregnancy.
Once that plot twist happens our favorites decide to move in together and co-parent. Well that doesn’t last long and we finally see the relationship spark between them both like we always wanted from the beginning.
But wait there’s another plot twist. Caden’s ex Rachel, who broke his heart after being together for 16 years, pops back up out of the blue when she catches wind that Caden is going to become a father. Let me tell you this I could’ve done without ever having Rachel pop up in this book. Hearing what she did to Caden irritated me to the core. Which in return made Caden turn into a grumpy you know what.
All in all Kelly knows how to write a wonderful story that captivates her audience from the very beginning, and I’m so thankful to be apart of her Wrangler’s Team.

4.75⭐️ I have been anxiously waiting Caden and Lilibeth’s book since Wilde Ride. I love witnessing a man, who closes themselves off to any kind of meaningful relationship, fall hard when he’s actively fighting it. And Caden fought it tooth and nail with Lilibeth. He was frustrating but in the way you knew he’d eventually get there but he drove you crazy along the way. He had one bad moment that I couldn’t believe he’d think about, like really?!? Why would you think to possibly do that?!?
Lilibeth was such a ray of sunshine and sweetness. She gave as good as she got, which I was happy to see. I had the feels during most of this book, you know the ones where your stomach literally aches for the characters. You feel for them!
My ONLY complaint was Lilibeth didn’t get a chapter dedicated to learning she was pregnant. I am a sucker for an unplanned pregnancy and we always see the moment the FMC learns she’s pregnant. I believe this is the first time it was not that way and I was disappointed. And I felt the book went by too fast, I just wanted more, but that’s probably a me problem.
I am once again so excited to see if Ensley’s next and what secrets and heartache she’s hiding. Loving this Wilde series!
Lilibeth was such a ray of sunshine and sweetness. She gave as good as she got, which I was happy to see. I had the feels during most of this book, you know the ones where your stomach literally aches for the characters. You feel for them!
My ONLY complaint was Lilibeth didn’t get a chapter dedicated to learning she was pregnant. I am a sucker for an unplanned pregnancy and we always see the moment the FMC learns she’s pregnant. I believe this is the first time it was not that way and I was disappointed. And I felt the book went by too fast, I just wanted more, but that’s probably a me problem.
I am once again so excited to see if Ensley’s next and what secrets and heartache she’s hiding. Loving this Wilde series!

Another sweet chapter in the Wilde family saga.
Not quite an enemies to lovers trope but more like a boy pulling the pigtails (braids) of the girl he really wants to get the attention of while being a d*ck.
Caden had his heart broken by his long term girlfriend who wanted his money not him. Her rejection of his proposal left him a grumpy angry man.
When Lilibeth came to town he found someone to argue with like he hated her. But underneath he was scared of what he felt for her. His ex had left him feeling nobody could love him or vice versa.
After overhearing a confession to his sisters he was intrigued and inevitably he helped her with the situation but told her he could not commit to any relationship. Unfortunately for him she had already fallen.
When she confessed to him she was pregnant he asked her to move in with him but still no relationship commitment. But like all good romance readers we know that was never going to happen.
Of course the Wilde family stepped in to both show. His mum and dad and tell him, the rest of the family.
But it’s the unexpected turning up of his ex that paves the way for love.
The proposal and wedding are perfect cowboy style.
All in all a gentle read that I devoured in a day.

Caden and Lillibeth were so fun. These two had some top tier banter. They were so cute. I have loved this world. Caden and Lillibeth were no exception.
Caden has had his heart broken. He’s fought off his feelings ever since. Unwilling to let his heart be on the line again. He’s grumpy and makes no apologies about it.
Lillibeth is happy. She’s happy to be in River Falls. She’s happy to have her store and her friends. She’s just happy at this point in her life. Except when Caden is around. He seems to dislike her and she can’t understand why.
As time goes on and situations happen they become friends. Caden is fighting his feelings and therefore Lillibeth is also fighting hers. Neither really wants to fight but knows that they have to.
Thankfully Caden has Ladd and Viviann are his parents. They have the talks and help guide him. He figures it out in the end. Then he has to share that with Lillibeth. Caden has that romance bone just buried a little deeper.
These two find their way to love and fight hard to hang on. They do what they need to do to keep themselves together and strong.
This was such a fun story. I can’t wait to see where the last two siblings go!

I love a good cowboy story and Kelly Elliott is a specialist at it.
Heroine, Lilibeth or Lili, is owner of a scent store and attracted to hero, Caden, a cowboy who had his hurt broken and believes he can't love again.
We read those two evolving from frenemies to lovers to an unexpected pregnancy to living together to healing and their hea.
There were some scenes that were quite emotional and my heart hitched.
I loved Lili and her optimism to the point it was sugary and I loved Caden and how he was walking green flag. Seriously I would have loved a Caden in my life.
I really liked how they evolved especially Caden and how receptive he was to his family's suggestions and advices. He just needed that click to make himself see more clearly and take his head out of the sand.
The side characters of course complimented the couple's story and I would have loved to have a dinner with all of them. Without the games of course.
Can't wait to read the next story for the other siblings. Something tells me that it will be Ensley.
I received this arc and this is my honest opinion.

Caden will slightly anger you at first. Kind of like how the sun slightly rises each morning. His callousness is angering, but knowing why he’s deliberately pushing Lili away is sad. He’s so sure he’s not meant for anything good and the one woman who makes him feel is the one he has to stay far away from, for his own safety. But intentions don’t always work out, especially when his heart decides to shove his cynical brain aside for a bit. Once that happens, it’s all over.
These two have a huge push and pull, but it seems to work. A little too well, if their predicament is anything to judge by. They both do some growing and stretching of comfort zones when it comes to love, and even when arguments or roadblocks try to stop their relationship, sanity prevails. Well, that and a healthy dose of parents who have been there, done that, and aren’t afraid to call their child out on his behavior. Or on his fears. So even the things that could derail most people don’t phase these two for very long because communication is key.
But now, my heart hurts for Ensley. I want her story. I know it’s going to hurt. I think I’m ready for it though.

Caden thought he found the one. He was ready to start a life and be married with a woman he spent 16 years with. But he finds out that maybe he never really knew her at all. He promises to never let himself get hurt ever again and let a woman bring him down. Until, Lilibeth brings life into his life and he can’t spend the rest of his life without her. Not when she becomes pregnant after a wild time together.
Oh my gosh, I loved reading this book so much. The way Kelly wrote the beginning of this book sets up the entire story and I’ve never hated Rachel as much as I’ve hated a character before. Oh my gosh, I was so angry for Caden just like his entire family.
Lilibeth is such an understanding person and he has so much love and patience. She let Caden be who he is without changing him, and let him work out his feelings his way. However, she can stand up to him when push comes to shove and she does just that several times.
I love everything about the story. Every situation that occurred was great to read. Such a cute, grumpy x sunshine, surprise pregnancy story!

Thank you Kelly Elliot for an eARC!
I have really enjoyed the characters in the Love is a Cowboy series.
Caden is a grumpy bug after having his heart broken by his high school sweetheart. Lilibeth is newer to town and is the sunshine he needs. After all this building tension, they decide to give into their feelings for one night… which leads to another night… which leads to Lilibeth getting pregnant.
I liked how onboard Caden was with Lilibeth’s pregnancy. While this wasn’t what he envisioned his life to be, he loved Lilibeth (probably longer than her knew) and was willing to do whatever she wanted to be part of her and the baby’s life. I loved how Lilibeth was able to heal Caden and help him move on from his crummy ex!
I still love All the Wilde’s and cannot wait for Ensley and Gatlin to get their own stories!
I do still feel like there is more telling than showing, but I’ve really enjoyed this series so far and fully intend to keep reading ❤️

I am absolutely loving this family, and Caden & Lilibeth’s story brought all the feels. Kelly writes cowboys so well, and this book has everything I adore. Caden shows such raw emotion, and the layers to his character made me fall for him instantly. Lilibeth is a beautiful soul with the perfect amount of sass — she never backs down, and I loved that about her.
Watching Caden go all‑in the moment he learns he’s going to be a father was one of my favourite parts. The tender moments between him and Lilibeth were everything. The best‑friend group and the sibling closeness reminded me so much of the Parker Crew, and I’m obsessed with this family already.
The push‑pull between Caden and Lilibeth keeps the pages turning, and seeing his family and Lilibeth help him heal from his past was so moving. Vivian and Ladd are the most supportive parents, and I loved every scene with them. This series is quickly becoming one of my favourites, and I can’t wait for more.

Wilde Flame was such a fun, sweet, and swoon-worthy read that I completely devoured!
Caden and Lilibeth’s story was beautifully written, and I loved watching their relationship grow. Their grumpy/sunshine chemistry was everything, and the tension between them kept me hooked from the very beginning.
I especially loved how they brought out the best in each other. Watching Lilibeth help Caden heal from his past was so emotional and heartwarming, and I adored the way Caden supported Lilibeth throughout her pregnancy. I also loved how Lilibeth slowly helped him lower his walls and open his heart to her.
The small-town setting, emotional moments, and romance all came together perfectly, making this an amazing story.
I can’t wait for the next book!
A grumpy cowboy, a sunshine heroine, and one unexpected connection that changes everything — definitely a must read!

Wild Flame by Kelly Elliott was an emotional, addictive read from beginning to end. The chemistry between the characters was intense, heartfelt, and beautifully written, making it impossible not to become completely invested in their journey.
Kelly Elliott has a way of creating characters that feel real — flawed, passionate, loyal, and deeply relatable. The balance between romance, emotion, tension, and lighter moments was perfect, and the story flowed effortlessly.
Every chapter pulled me in more, and I genuinely didn’t want it to end.
What I loved most was how the story explored love, healing, trust, and finding strength through difficult moments without ever feeling overly heavy.
The emotional depth made the romance even more meaningful.
If you love contemporary romance with strong chemistry, emotional connection, and characters you can’t stop thinking about, Wild Flame is definitely worth reading.
Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

Arc review. Wilde Flame.
Much like Wilde Ride, I DEVOURED this book. I’m talking stay up waaaaay too late just to finish it. It’s fine, that’s what coffee’s for. Caden broke my heart and Lilibeth mended it back together. I mean a tortured soul? A grumpy cowboy and a literal ray of sunshine? Levi and Emeline (Wilde Ride), y’all were great, loved you, BUT MOVE OVER. I got my new favorite Wildes.
And the 🔥, you can LITERALLY feel them radiating sexual tension off the page. I, too, need some fresh air Lilibeth.
But more than the intense chemistry and wanting, it’s the way you deeply feel for Caden. A man who’s been hurt and had his heart broken, who tries so hard to protect himself by not letting himself have what he’s always wanted and hoped for. And Lilibeth? She’s so understanding, honest, and patient. Patient in the sense, she doesn’t push. She lets the pieces fall together, knowing (or thinking she knows) what will happen.

May 14, 2026Wilde Flame by Kelly Elliott is Caden and Lilibeth. Caden captured my attention with his grumpiness and his absolute love and loyalty to his family and the ranch he loved. Lili had such a fun and optimistic personality. It was fun to see the two of them clash and banter. The stages that they go through from frenemies to friends to oops I’m pregnant. Caden was a walking green flag with so much love in his heart and he wore his emotion on his sleeve. He just had to get out of his own way to make room for his happy ending and once in a lifetime love. A beautiful store. Kelly always gives us amazing cowboys.

Oh my heart! This book made me so happy. Even during the “enemies” part it was still mostly lighthearted and fun. Caden fought his feelings for so long but he didn’t stand a chance against Lilibeth. She was his dream woman and they both had the same dreams for what they wanted their lives to look like. Rachel was the absolute worst and I’m so glad we only had to see her once. She was such a witch with a capital B. I loved how this surprise pregnancy got Caden out of his head and out of his past. It was such a great catalyst. And I LOVED how Caden and Lilibeth were together. Supportive of each other but never backing down from what they wanted in life. That’s how a real partnership is made. There were so many silly sarcastic moments in this book that I was laughing out loud and had to read aloud so my family didn’t think I was crazy. Ugh! I LOVE Kelly’s cowboys. All of them.

So, I’ve followed the Wilde Family throughout the series and this is another endearing link in the family chain. Throughout the story, Caden’s parents (Wilde Cowboy) were a supporting, truthful and loving presence-I may head out to reread that one-loved Ladd and Vivianne and they’ve only gotten better. Trust is the take-away word for this story-how do you trust yourself and your heart after being so mistaken. I agree with his brother-Caden dodged a bullet with his ex-how ridiculous and narcissistic she is-yet it still left scars and walls. Lilibeth is such a lovely soul and I liked everything about her-she was kind, clear, self-advocating, focused and had an open heart. I found romance, heat, wonderful role models, tremendous family dynamics, honest communication, and laughter (the delivery room hand holding was the topper) throughout and I recommend you grab a Wilde Flame!

ARC Review of Wile Flame 💜 this is a standalone but interconnected series. It is book 3 of the Love is a Cowboy series. This was the first book I had actual read and I did not feel like I was missing anything by not reading book 1 & 2. I do want to go back and read them tho! That’s how good this book is! Caden, who has had his heart broken has built up walls high around his heart and pushes everyone away. Lilibeth comes in and is just a ray of sunshine, so warm and full of joy! The relationship between the two is complicated and grows into something everyone strives to find in life. This book was so fantastic. It had my laughing, crying, and anxious. It had all the emotions! And was just what I needed to read! Kelly Elliott did a phenomenal job on this and I cannot wait to see what happens next with the Wilde family!

Grumpy cowboy meets sunshine fmc who drives him crazy and makes him feel things he doesn't like feeling. Caden and Lillibeth were so fun. These two had some top tier banter. They were so cute. I have loved this world. Caden and Lillibeth were no exception.
This is the 3rd book in this series and they just keep getting better with each one. Oh man when Rachel showed up I've never wanted to jump into a book so fast and knock someone out.
Honestly I wasn't sure anyone would be able to be better than Ladd and Viviann but Caden and Lilibeth were just as good as them if not just a tiny bit better, gave them a run for their money.
This was such a fun story. I can’t wait to see where the last two siblings go!

This book was just so sweet and perfect. It was exactly what I needed to read. It starts with a little heartbreak which causes Caden to never want to give his heart to anyone ever again. But in walks Lilibeth and he has a hard time fighting his feelings yet still doesn’t want to be in a relationship. He frustrated me at times with how he acted but he made up for it. Lilibeth is the sweetest woman. She’s always so energetic and happy and would do anything for her friends and those she loves.
Every book in this series has mad me absolutely adore the Wilde family. There is so much love and laughter and they always make everyone feel welcome.
I think I know whose book is next and I hope I’m right because I feel like it’s going to be great!

Wilde Flame is the third book in the Love is a Cowboy series, but can be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel.
This small-town romance is sweet and swoon-worthy. I loved the enemies-to-lovers, he falls first vibes. Add in an accidental pregnancy, and you've got a story that will keep you glued to the pages.
Caden and Lilibeth's story wasn't without its share of drama and ups/downs, but that made their journey that much sweeter.
All in all, another solid read from Kelly Elliott. I can't wait to see where the Love is a Cowboy series will go next!

Kelly did it again with another fantastic cowboy romance. I devoured this book and loved every moment. This story easily captured my heart from the first chapter.
Caden and Lilibeth's story was laid out perfectly. From the banter, the steamy 2 day snowed in scenes, to the crazy ex girlfriend, and surprise pregnancy.
I love how the whole Wilde family just takes in the significant others.
I fell so hard for our grumpy guarded cowboy Caden. You feel so deeply for the way Kelly wrote his story. The emotional journey between Caden and Lilibeth but also Caden's personal emptional journey was perfect.

Connor had really bad luck with his first love, she was a horrible self absorbed person, he never really recovered from her rejection. Lilibeth, at thirty and still not beeing touched in certain places is a bit far fetched I think. Other than that , love this little town and the Wilde family, they all so nice a real. What I really liked, was the bond the family had. When someone asked Caden a question from his family, he wasn't evasive, he just plain out answered it, even if it was personal. A bit much was the pregnancy, a lot of fuss, she is pregnant not ill. All in all a nice heartfelt story.

OMG, I absolutely adore it! I was completely captivated, experiencing both laughter and tears. It’s a beautifully emotional read.
I really disliked how Caden closed off his heart due to his past. Lillibeth always seemed to anticipate what would happen since Caden wanted their relationship to remain as friends.
This is the third book in the series, but you can certainly enjoy it as a standalone. I actually began with book two and only just discovered there was a book one!
