The Wilde Men #2
Ziggy's Voice
Kennedy
I’ve always been the relationship guy.
I love big, hard and fast … but unfortunately for me, that’s the quickest way to make a new romance crash and burn.
Moving to Wilde’s End, our not-so-abandoned town, is exactly the fresh start I need. What’s better than a town in the middle of nowhere and long days of hard work to swear off relationships? At least that’s what I think, until I meet Ziggy.
He’s the town electrician who has a weird habit of making sparks fly whenever I’m around him. He’s cute, snarky, and his piercings are hot as hell.
Too bad I don’t trust myself not to make the same mistakes I always do.
Ziggy
I’ve always been the weird loner. The strange kid who doesn’t talk.
So when Kennedy shows up in my life, with his big energy and sunny personality, I don’t know how to take him. I’m used to being the invisible shadow that goes unnoticed in the Wilde.
Kennedy makes me feel seen.
He doesn’t expect me to talk when the voices in my head get too loud, he doesn’t expect me to be funny or witty or anything that I’m not. He’s happy just to be around me, and that’s not something I’ve experienced before.
He’s sworn off dating. And I’ve never so much as been kissed.
But with the sunshine he brings to my life, it’s impossible to feel like a shadow anymore. I’m determined to win him over, no matter what it takes.

Saxon valuing my opinion on her drafts will always be both intensely humbling and god complex-inducing. I love her. And I love this book.
(She made me cry twice. The audacity).

You know, do you ever just want to lose yourself if a fluffy, sweet, wonderful romance story where the two characters are adorable sweethearts who have great chemistry and love each other so fully and are so stinkin' cute together and are amazing towards each other?
Well, if you do, this story is for you.
Kennedy and Ziggy were worth waiting for, because they were absolutely amazing together.
Kennedy is the happy go lucky, sweet and sunshine-y, kind hearted brother of the three brothers who have come to Wilde's End, and he deserves all the love in the world.
It just so happens, he's been unlucky in love for so long, despite his best efforts, that now, just as he meets the love of his life, he's sworn off dating for awhile after he's had his heart broken one too many times...
Of course that's how the timing works out, isn't it?
But Ziggy himself has his own problems. He was verbally and emotionally abused as a child by his parents, so much so that he developed selective mutism, and he rarely ever talks, and only with people he's comfortable with. And even then, he doesn't talk much, even after living with people in Wilde's End for 8 years.
He thinks so badly of himself from being bullied by his parents, and thus kids in school because his parents made him mute and kids made fun of him for that, that he doubts Kennedy will ever see him in a romantic way, even as he's falling for the man.
So Kennedy doesn't let himself go there with Ziggy at first, but of course he can't stop the feelings as they get to know each other more, and Ziggy becomes more and more comfortable with Kennedy in order to be able to talk to him, like really talk to him.
There isn't much plot outside of their romance, aside from a new character getting introduced, Sasha, who was run off the road and then was sneaking around Wilde's End, stealing things without people knowing who it was, before he eventually gets discovered.
But for Kennedy and Ziggy, the main plot was essentially their romance, and it worked - they worked together so well.
They were perfect for each other, because Ziggy needed someone to treat him kindly and sweetly, and who would be patient and loving with him, while Kennedy needed someone who would want his way of romance - which he's been told by others can be a bit too strong, a bit too overbearing or smothering...but Ziggy wants that. He wants someone who wants to spend all their time with him and want to take care of him. He wants ALL of it.
Kennedy tries for a time not to come on strong, per the advice of his brothers - which? Hudson and Hart? Lol neither are that great at relationships, so wrong people to ask. Especially when Ziggy doesn't like Kennedy being more distant and standoff-ish, actually.
This story felt more complete than Hudson and Wilde's too by the end of this. We get a good epilogue that's months into the future and it really worked to get use to these two saying "I love you" and meaning it and it making all the sense in the world.
I believe I remember Hudson and Wilde's epilogue being like them admitting they're falling, but that was it. They had so much more to go to get there than Ziggy and Kennedy. Which, they're different people and have a different type of relationship, so it makes sense, but it was wild to me that Hudson and Wilde didn't even get to the "I love you" stage with their book and even in the beginning of this, Kennedy was skeptical that they were more than just sex, even AFTER Wilde went to the city to get Hudson.
So yeah, two totally different stories and relationships and it just helped that Kennedy and Ziggy's felt so complete and well rounded. They are happy and content and solid, already in their HEA, meanwhile Hudson and Wilde felt more HFN, I'll say.
I can't wait to get more couples in this series. I had a fun time trying to figure the next couples out, because I thought Hart would be next, seeing as he's the last brother, and his LI would be Lynx, but no our next book is about Lynx and his LI, who is Sasha, the sweet guy we meet at the end of this who was hiding in Wilde's End for a few weeks and causing minimal trouble. That will definitely be interesting to see the man who sweeps Lynx of all people off his feet.
Then I thought Hart's LI would be Foley at one point, but nah, his is definitely going to be Rooney, we definitely got a hint at the very end between them. Foley is gonna get with Booker, of all people, which now that I think of it...makes sense, but was also a bit wild and I was like "what?!" when we got a line from Foley about waiting forever for Booker or some shit. LIKE?! OH!
So yeah, definitely excited for the future couples and stories in this series. The first two have definitely been great, especially this one, so I can't wait for more.
Until then! 😘

Awwww. Let’s take the two most adorable and lovable side characters from book one and give them a shared HEA. Cute. Really cute.
I’ll be honest here and say that my rating is actually quite generous because I didn’t enjoy it in the end nearly as much as the first book but that stems mostly from this basically being a friends-to-lovers which only very rarely excites me.
I still loved Ziggy and Kennedy. I’m also very curious about Lynx and the new stray Sasha. But I’m also a bit wary of future couples bc that doctor in Wilde’s End? He’s creeping me tf out. *lol

Seriously, is there anywhere on this goddamn Earth where being sweet and considerate is appreciated?
Awwww. Let’s take the two most adorable and lovable side characters from book one and give them a shared HEA. Cute. Really cute.
Ziggy really, really hates to be ignored. So I guess I’ll have to smother him in attention instead.“Why haven’t you been smothering me?”
“Ah, I just, I’m trying to be cool. Not jump in too fast.”
“Overwhelm me. Never leave me alone. Be clingy and needy and yourself. Then I get to tell you what I like and what I can handle.”

I love when one MC plots on the other. It was giving 'I'm going to make this man fall in love with me if it's the last thing I do. But first, what is love? Because neither of us seems to know. No matter. I'm going to do it anyway.'
This was better than book 1. Which is a ridiculously low bar but it's the bar I have.
I enjoyed the two MCs separately and together, though. Kennedy, who's always been dumped because he's too much, too soon, and Ziggy, who isn't sure he knows what love even is but is determined to make Kennedy feel it for him.
I loved that when they finally got together, Kennedy's brothers rather unhelpfully advised him to NOT be himself.
“In that case,” Hart says, “I recommend you do literally nothing that you want to do.”
“What?”
“All of your instincts, stamp them down. Want to see him? Don’t. Want to declare your every loving devotion? Walk away. Want to wear his blood in a vial around your neck?” He makes a buzzer sound. “Abort. Next.”
“When have I ever wanted to wear someone’s blood?”
“Just getting in before you do.”
And this misguided man tamps himself down to ensure he doesn't lose Ziggy.
Whole time Ziggy is about that life and is bothered that he's not getting it.
"Why aren't you smothering me?"
Which is really not a question I ever thought I'd hear, moreover asked in good faith and not sarcasm lmao.
Now Kennedy's explaining how he really likes him, swear to God, and just doesn't want to scare him off.
"Prove it. Overwhelm me."
They're really a good match. Intense in different ways. Ziggy wants to be loved so hard it draws blood and so does Kennedy.
Kennedy also wants Ziggy to murder him with his ass.
Very uninterested in breathing, our Kennedy.
Have to admit I snorted a bit at Hartwell calling that man Zig-Zag. Someone needs to tell Hartwell the truth about his own name.
Still. I think part of why I'm not very into these books is I couldn't care less about Wilde's End or all their off grid drama and band of misfits.
Everything related to the town bored me, so ultimately I'm not rating this higher. But definitely a stronger contender than the first, imo, but if you loved Wilde in book 1, know that he's still growling in this one, too.

Ziggy’s Voice is book two in the Wilde Men series. This MM romance story is about Ziggy and Kennedy.
Ziggy is a loner and doesn’t speak because of his traumatic childhood. He hasn’t ever been in a relationship and questions what love is. Kennedy is the happy sunshine guy and known around Wilde’s End as the nice brother. He yearns for his own rom-com, but because he loves hard and fast, it always ends with him being heartbroken. Because of this, Kennedy has sworn off relationships while in town.
As Ziggy and Kennedy work together, they develop a sweet friendship. Kennedy feels like he can be himself with Ziggy in a way he can’t with anyone else. Ziggy becomes more comfortable with Kennedy and wants to try to speak to him. Ziggy is attracted to Kennedy and finds himself jealous when he sees others interested in Kennedy (Caroline was too much). This causes Ziggy to act on his feelings, and soon we see Kennedy and Ziggy start to become more than just friends.
While I could see how much Ziggy was into Kennedy, I didn’t get that same feeling when it came to Kennedy being into Ziggy. Ziggy did so many little things to make Kennedy feel loved and special, but I was disappointed Kennedy didn’t do the same in return. Since Ziggy was a virgin, I was expecting Kennedy to plan something romantic and special for their first time having sex, so I was sad when that didn’t happen.
I do have to say I didn’t think there was much of a plot in this book, so I did struggle a bit to stay invested in this story. I was frustrated with the relationship between the brothers, and Hart’s behavior was starting to bother me. I was excited for more of Wilde and Hudson, but their relationship felt odd to me with the way it was portrayed in this book. While there were a couple of things that didn’t work for me, I did enjoy getting to know more of the Wilde’s End residents. I look forward to seeing what comes next in this series.

Pretty good book, I enjoyed it for the most part. Still enjoying the abandoned town setting. Some characters are a bit unique for me.

"Ziggy’s mouth slams against mine. Pleasant surprise shoots through every limb. His lips are soft and at complete odds with the two tiny metal bars digging into my chin. There’s a whole moment where we’re both completely frozen, and then my brain goes offline."

The tales from Wilde’s End continue with Ziggy and Kennedy’s story! This one was SO SWEET and so good 😍 I lovvvve these two!
After moving to Wilde’s end and trying to figure out the locals, while also trying to rebuild, Kennedy and his brothers don’t have it easy. One thing that does brighten up Kennedy’s life is his friendship with the quiet but kind Ziggy. Ziggy has been helping Kenny with the electric, free of charge, and quietly admires Kennedy from afar. This book explores their relationship, while taking us deeper into the atmospheric setting of Wilde’s End!
This book has:
-new friends to lovers
-talks a lot X selectively mute kings
-green flag X green flag couple
-really sweet first times
-emotional connection and communication beyond words
-more unhinged Lynx content
I love this book! The characters were incredibly lovable, and their story was just so sweet. I also adored how much more depth we got with the side characters as well, and this book got me so excited for Lynx’s story!
Before I even picked this book up, I knew that Ziggy would be my favourite character. And I was right! He is such a sweetie, and he is so good. Kennedy also matches him with how sweet and lovely he is, and I just love to see such a perfect couple together. Though they obviously have their own flaws, they are perfect together. 🥲❤️
I can’t wait to see where this series goes. Definitely read book one now so you can read this one when it drops!

5 “It’s taken until this very moment for me to realize that I don’t need a lot. I just need to be loved” stars
He was a steady softness, a slow-burning addiction, the kind that crept into my soul before I knew what was happening and took me by surprise. He’s filled all the darkest corners that I didn’t even know I had, and I’m scared and raw, but so, so ready for this. I’m falling for him. I never want to stop.
I’ve had a very good reading month in January and read a lot of my new favourite books and then I read this book and it totally took over my life. I just could not put this book down and lost a lot of sleep just so I could finish it because it was like I could not do anything else until I finished this one. I don’t really know how to explain it but it’s was like this book was made just for me because if you had to make a list of all my favourite things to read about, this book would have it all.
A romance between two characters that have a lot of trauma in their past and that make the world softer for each other? Check.
A romance that is a little messy at first and they had to learn how to truly listen to each other and what the other needs true trial and errors? Check.
A boat load of yearning from page 1 and two characters that just wanted to be together so much they were ready to do together, even the big scary things? Check.
Characters and a story that gets me so hooked that I spend the entire book crying because I just want the characters to be happy and in love? Check.
The couple dynamic in this book was just so perfect to me. Ziggy has been hurt and discarded a lot in his past and he just wanted someone who would show him that he accepts him and wants to be with him and Kennedy was used to being the guy whose relationships never worked because he got too invested too quickly and it freaked out his possible romantic interests. I just felt like they compliment each other so perfectly and it was a delight to read their interactions. I just loved how their personalities balanced each other out and how they were able to give each other the peace and the stability that they need and never found before. I loved how patient they were with each and how much they just wanna learn the other better and how to be there for them and how to help them when life got though. This book was just so romantic, but also so mature. I just loved the outlook on the start of a relationship after trauma that this book offered, it just very lovely to read about.

Ziggy is all things precious and perfect and adorable. He owned my heart the first time we saw him in book 1.
I really liked his relationship with Kennedy, as it was so pure.
I said before that I only read the first book so that I could read this one, and that's true, but I'm loving this series.
When I saw the teaser for book 3 at the end of the book, I got excited, but unfortunately, when I tried to find t, I couldn't. it doesn't look like it's ben written yet.

Overall, not bad, but just not that exciting for me. There is just something about this series that isn't clicking with me. I mean, I enjoy the books enough, but they're nothing that gets me excited to dive back into this town and these characters.
I do have to say that Ziggy is definitely my favorite so far. He has so much depth to him that I think could have been explored more, but he was such an interesting character: strong, sweet, and cute. His trauma and life story were just so sad that I couldn't help but feel for him. I also liked Kennedy a lot. I love that he was the romantic sunshine of the brothers, but I wish I could have gotten to know him more deeply than I feel I actually did. And I really did like them together. I loved how their relationship progressed. They were so cute, and it was a beautiful friends-to-lovers slow burn.
So not bad, but not incredible. I am intrigued by the other characters, especially Hart, because I really don't know who he'll end up with, but I do hope we get to see what's behind all that anger. Of course, I'll be continuing the series and waiting for more books, and hopefully I'll feel more of a connection with the future books.

Quotes:
“Love is something different for all of us. But Kennedy makes me stronger. And like that, I think I understand it. Things are so much better with him because I want them to be better with him. He makes me feel good just by being him, and it makes me want to chase that feeling always. In everything. Love doesn’t have to be one thing, but if it exists, the possibilities are endless.”
“Everything staring back at me is what I’ve been waiting for my whole life. Someone who sees me. Who wants me. The kind of person as ready for this as I am. He was a steady softness, a slow-burning addiction, the kind that crept into my soul before I knew what was happening and took me by surprise. He’s filled all the darkest corners that I didn’t even know I had, and I’m scared and raw, but so, so ready for this.”

Ziggy + Kennedy 🖤
Friends | Oblivious MC | Selective mutism | First times

Oblivious MC
Lip piercings
Pining - starts one sided then becomes double sided

Mustache
Pierced virgin

Review of advance copy received from Autorin bzw. Autor
Saxon really never disappoints 🥰
Kennedy and Ziggy have their own special bond, and they connected so deeply in this amazing story. I always have a soft spot for characters like Ziggy, who have a certain past with not-so-lightly experiences. These types of characters usually deserve all the love they can get 💘
This is kind of a friends to lovers story, but since Ziggy is kind of a loner, not quite 🙈 But thankfully, they found each other because both of them needed this love so much 💗

ARC Review
4.5⭐
First of all, please let’s appreciate how absolutely gorgeous the man on the cover is! 😍 Not usually a fan of model covers, as you know, but this one? Yeah, it's pure perfection! 🥹 It’s just soooo Ziggy! 🥰💙
Okay, this book was so damn cute—very different from book one, in my opinion.
First, there’s Ziggy: this sweet, adorable—virgin—man who struggles a lot with speaking because of past trauma. 😢😢😢 Ziggy is a loner, but he’s also absolutely adorable, brave, and fiery—don’t underestimate him.
Oh, and… he’s pierced, just saying. 😏😏😏
I seriously love him so, so much. 🥹💙
And then there’s Kennedy, one of the three brothers who came to Wilde’s End to rebuild the houses in order to sell them. Kennedy is this happy guy, always smiling—a hopeless romantic who just wants to love and, more than anything, to be loved. He jumps into every relationship a little too… quickly.
He swore he would stop dating. Lol. 😅
I absolutely loved their chemistry. The fact that they just saw each other was beautiful. Even though Ziggy didn’t speak at first, Kennedy had no problem understanding him. Seeing them slowly but surely open up to each other, watching Ziggy relax more and more around Kennedy and allow himself to talk—real words—that was everything. 😭😭💙
They’re just beautiful and perfect for each other. 💙
This book was so sweet—I loved every second of it. The writing is amazing, as always, let’s be honest. 🥰💖
💙 Hates to talk x Talks a lot
💡 Electrician x Builder
💙 Small town
💡 Pierced MC
💙 First everything

Saxon James is one of my favorite writers, especially when she writes hockey books. This is not a hockey book. It’s still pretty good though. I think I like this book better than the first one in the series because I had a very hard time to like the mc’s. In this book the mc’s are lovely, but also a bit cliche. Especially Kennedy. He’s always happy and he loves hard. And his brothers are also very unlayered. One is a grump, and the other one is a pushover.
Ziggy is a sweetheart with a very complicated background. I did feel like we didn’t get enough information about this complicated background though.There is a flashback scene where he looks for food for a few days in his parents house as a kid. Why? Why isn’t he fed? He runs away at 18, as a fully trained electrician. Why would his dad educate him but not feed him? I understand his father is a horrible person but this did not make sense.
I also still don’t really understand what is going to happen to the town. The brothers keep building, but they also start coupling with the Wildes end crew, and know they’ll be endangering them by selling the houses. That feels like a dead end idea, especially since they don’t make money otherwise.
So I do have complaints about this book. It was very entertaining though. I am looking forward to the next one, and will probably reread the first ones again when it is published. (Although I wonder if the author will be able to keep up with the ambitious publishing schedule she has, now she’s ill, as I read in her newsletter. I hope she has a speedy recovery!)
Anyway, I recommend this book, especially if you don’t need too much realism in your stories.

This was really, really good. I totally loved it. I did expect a little more of the three brothers being close again, and I would have loved to see more of that, but even though we didn't get as much of it as I hoped, I still loved the story so much. The plot was really good, and I absolutely loved both Kennedy and Ziggy. They were both such sweethearts in their own ways, and I genuinely loved watching their relationship develop♥️
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS.
That whole part where Ziggy initially started talking to Kennedy... my gawdddd. I've never smiled so much while reading a conversation. At first, Ziggy was perfectly okay with Kennedy carrying the conversations, but slowly, he started wanting to answer too. He started finding his own words and wanting to be part of those conversations, and I loved that Kennedy noticed it. Instead of always filling the silence himself, Kennedy started waiting for Ziggy's answers, giving him the space to speak when he was ready. It was such a small thing, but I found it incredibly beautiful because you could actually see Ziggy becoming more comfortable with him🥹🥰
And there was something so beautiful about Ziggy and Lynx's friendship. I really loved how kind Lynx was to him and how naturally their friendship developed. The way he treated Ziggy was just so lovely to read, especially considering how many people in Ziggy's life had made him feel like he wasn't worth that kind of care.
Speaking of which, I HATE Ziggy's parents and all those so-called friends. Fuck you very much. How fucking dare you do that to him?! Ughhhhh. I was genuinely so angry for him. He deserved so much better than the way they treated him, and I wanted to reach through the book and protect him myself.
Hart was a bit harsh throughout the book, though. I'm holding onto hope that he eventually gets a reason to be genuinely happy because, honestly, I hope he swallows his tongue when that happens. I need to see it.
Also, I fully assumed Lynx would be paired with Hart, and that would have been epic fr. But apparently I was wrong. And you know what? It's okay. Everything is okay. Everything will be fine. I really hope so.
I thought I'd get to read about Hart soon, but now I don't even know how long I'm going to have to wait for him. And after this book, I need to know what happens with him. Saxon James, please. I'm begging.
I'd be waiting for all the books this series will offer. Lynx, Hart, Rooney, Dr. Booker (my gawd...he is interesting but like nooooo😂)
"Yeah I mean, don't get me wrong, I know that we'll be here for a while.” He sounds like he's thinking out loud, and I appreciate that he never expects me to fill in the gaps in conversation, just carries it himself.
I don't do well with people who bottle everything up inside, because I have enough of my own stuff bottled.
Kennedy doesn't even seem to know where the bottles are stored.
And more importantly, he talks. Even when I don't. There's rarely a moment of silence when I'm with him, and the way it fills that deep, frightened gap in my soul isn't something I'll ever be able to put into words.
And I'm full of them.
"I'm Rooney, the only mildly sociable one around here."
That pulls a smile from me. "Kennedy."
"Ah, yes. The nice brother."
Now, I've catalogued one more thing about him.
Ziggy really, really hates to be ignored.
So I guess I'll have to smother him in attention instead.
"Wonder what we'll have today," he says. “Nothing as fun as what Hudson brought me, I'd guess, but it's not unreasonable to hope for a broken bone."
Wilde throws his truck in drive and tosses a concerned look across me. "Let's hope for nothing so we can pull them out of there and get them on their way."
Booker tsks. "You're never any fun."
"Sorry that I don't like wishing harm on people."
"It's not serious harm. A mild compound fracture is easily managed."
"And probably hurts like a bitch."
I swear I hear Booker mutter beside me, "Even better."
And people think I'm weird.
Someone needs to teach Booker what an inside thought is.
"The happy one sounds boring, but I've heard the other one is ... my type of man."
My ears ring over the thought of him finding Kennedy boring. "He's not." It doesn't come out as loud as I want it to.
Booker turns curious eyes on me. "He's not my type?"
Of course he's going to make me talk. "Boring."
"Huh." His muddy brown gaze slides over me. "Good to know."
"Let them in, Booker," Wilde snaps.
Booker's face fills with a grin. "Make me."
Wilde glances back, taking in Ziggy, me, and Hart, before he huffs. "Let them in and I'll break something of Foley's for you."
Booker's gaze drops back to the list. "Oh, look at that. Ziggy, Kennedy, and Hartwell. Here all along."
And when he tilts the clipboard, I catch sight of my name.
We're actually on there.
"Get off him."
"Now is the time to be quiet," Lynx warns.
"I said get off him!"
Lynx's eyes flash, but he doesn't look away. “This is why I hate people. Even your favorite pets disappoint you."
I'm not sure whether to be surprised that I'm his favorite or offended that he called me his pet. He doesn't even call Bob his pet.

(*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ Ziggy's Voice was such an emotional, romantic book - I seriously think everyone should read it now!
I cried at various moments during this book and it was amazing. Kennedy and Ziggy were beautiful protagonists and I'm so glad I read this because this book has now become a favorite of now. The setting is such an interesting place and to be honest, I can't wait to see more of it. By the end of the book, I was intrigued by not only the protagonists, but also the other characters which now I know will also have their own story + happily ever after.
I think this book is quite low on the angst. If you're in the mood to read a book where there is no big problem, no outside force trying to break them up, read this one. Kenny and Ziggy are really just trying to let down their guard and trust each other in order to become something more. But when you see them finally dropping down those walls, their relationship is so easy and natural. It's like they were mean to be ❀
FOR ALL THE CLINGY BOYFRIEND LOVERS, this one's for you. Kennedy my clingy lover boyyy oh I love you. Ziggy will give YOU THE WORLD! And he will plan all the cute dates and show you that you also deserve a clingy boyfriend. I loved these two so much seriously ٩(⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)و*̣̩⋆̩*

I’m actually flabbergasted at how much I didn’t like this considering I LOVED Wilde’s End!! Ziggy and Kennedy were so boring I spent the entire book being more interested in literally every other character but them… Lynx and Sasha I need you!
September 28, 2026
There was a lack of ridiculousness in this book and we do get some good spicy parts, we're introduced to the next couple, but we still have to read about obnoxious Hudson and Wilde, sadly.
Other than that, no deal.
🔵 The moustache twin / a recluse electrician
🟣 Bi / gay
🟡 Age gap 28/30
🟢 Sunshine? Himbo? Whatever you expected for Kennedy isn't here
🌶️ Some sex, it's pretty good, could be more; virgin; oral, rimming, penetrative (good); both vers
I have to say, I expected Kennedy to be his proverbial overbearing, clingy, ridiculously romantic self in this book, but you don't really get that because he's holding back. And because he's holding back, the love story isn't that good. I mean, it's better than the first one, but still, I think there was so much potential here and the author just didn't develop it well, at all.
It always feels like something is missing in every book so far, it's just very mediocre, surprisingly, considering both main characters.
This was in my mind, right, exactly this
You're not getting the hot, crazy romantic story you'd expect. Instead, they're pretty awkward and boring with each other, their dialogue isn't great, and the whole thing didn't need to be 300 pages long.
And again, what I don't get is what the author had in mind when creating these characters. The brothers are hot as hell, yet every single one has some issue with himself. They're constantly having these self-deprecating inner monologues, and it completely disconnects with the actual reality.
"Maybe Hudson’s right and I am a loser? How many other grown- ass men obsess the way I do?"
"His partners might be repulsive, but at least they’re never repulsed by him."
"Could I really spend the rest of my life alone? If it came to that, if I actually decided to stay, would I be able to live by myself… forever? No romance. No partner. No one to share all my thoughts and feelings with."
"Maybe I’m the red flag. Staring creepily at new friends is a fast way to turn them off."
So you're telling me that the guy up there with the moustache has a problem finding a partner because he showers them with romance and affection? I mean, smother me anytime. Damn, are you kidding me? Who'd believe this?? He's a catch, he gets offers wherever he goes based on the book, and he can't find one guy or woman who'll stick around?
You know if he were this unstable psycho that really gets inappropriate, I'd understand, but this I don't.
Then there's Ziggy, the eternal recluse who's also selectively mute and wants Kennedy. He struts around him trying to get a taste of that overbearing lover Kennedy supposedly is, but he can't, because suddenly Kennedy gets this great idea from his emotionally stunted brothers to hold back. And of course, because he's holding back, he gets the forever guy, that's the formula, even though Ziggy was there from the very beginning and down for anything.
So we're just robbed of Kennedy in his full glory, if you ask me.
"That’s the sad reality, isn’t it? In my desperation to find the one, I’ll settle for anyone. What if Ziggy is the one person who doesn’t get sick of me, and then a year down the track, I realize I’m only with him because I had no other options?"
"His hand tightens around mine, and I have my answer. He’s not embarrassed by me."
"The important part is that Ziggy makes me feel anything other than sheer desperation."
One would think this bunch of outcasts would be more burdened by their own issues, and sure, some of them are, but they're still out there living their normal lives while our blonde underwear models over here are having one existential crisis after another.
I'm really not sold on this town or the guys living here. And I'm definitely even more so now not sold on Hudson and Wilde. In their book they both professed their love for each other, but here it's
“I fell for a man who hates me, so what do I know about relationships?”
“Umm…” Hart and I share a worried glance. “Fell for?”
Hudson waves our concern away. “Maybe. Probably. We’ll see.”
Which one is it?? They're not a good couple at all.
One character that really stood out to me though was Foley, and in this book, it's Foley again. I'm really hoping the author doesn't put him with Booker. Booker needs someone to take his edge off, and that's definitely not Foley.
Is Hart getting him? I don't know.
I just hope Foley's book is much better than everything we've read so far, because I don't have high hopes for Hart. He's going to spend the whole book talking down to himself, and then a saviour dick will come along to make him open up. It's so generic and boring, I can't even.
At least give Foley a good one. I'm guessing it's going to be in another series since it's another town.
Review of advance copy received from Indie Reviewers
4.5*
So very very different than book one and I am here for it!
This is a much sweeter toned narrative, even though it still discusses and deals with the fallout of some pretty series issues including child neglect.
Kennedy is the perfect person to see Ziggy because he's looking for someone to give all the incredible love and feelings he has available and be seen in return.
Ziggy may be quiet but he's not silent and as the friendship grows between them, the more he begins to find the strength to let out his voice once again.
This part of the story was what caught me right in the gut. Ziggy's such a wonderfully crafted character and seeing him slowly gain confidence simply by having someone there waiting to properly hear him, is the driving heart of the story.
He's not alone, as such, the rest of the Wilde's End crew are completely there for him and would do anything, but he's lonely and, as Kennedy shows up more and more, willing to just be there and enjoy his company, he blossoms.
Of course it wouldn't be a Saxon book without some hot and heavy to go with all the emotional feels and she delivers a beautiful sexual exploration for Ziggy, who's never been with anyone or really experienced any kind of loving touch.
I adored both these men so much, the only reason I've not given it the full 5* this time is that I would have liked just a little bit more of them interacting with the rest of the town rather than it kind of segueing into what's going to be the pairing for book three.
Not that I'm objecting to that happening, it's intriguing and going to be a very interesting path to follow, but it just came a bit soon for me after Ziggy and Kennedy had set their stall out as being boyfriends in a relationship.
However, the epilogue is fabulous and went a long way to giving me the kind of content I'd been craving between them out in the bigger world. Loved it.

Did Not Finish
February 9, 2026DNF. I've had this on my kindle for ages now and I keep reading one page and then getting distracted by everything and anything, which tells me that it's best to just quit. I have no interest in the story and the dynamics between most characters just feels off or weird.

I still really like the premise of this series, honestly, who wouldn’t want to buy a whole town with zero residents (or so they think).
I struggled with the core idea that Kennedy believes there’s something inherently wrong with loving with your whole heart. That theme sits at the center of the book, and it made it hard for me to fully connect with the romance.
And then there’s the ending. I was left confused, why would Ziggy wander off alone into the middle of the woods during a search for an intruder? It felt out of character and more like a plot device than a natural choice.
There were still moments I enjoyed, and the premise continues to be charming so I still can’t wait to read book 3.

Oh my, I absolutely loved this book.

Ziggy is so precious, and I love, love, love Kennedy. My only critique is Ziggy’s relationship with his parents confused me, he lived a life in silence and with the fear of engaging with his parents, but at some stage he did his electrician qualification with his dad. Also I think Kennedy could have chosen a better time and place for Ziggy’s ‘first time’, I get that it was in the heat of the moment, but prep the poor lad, geez.

Це дуже близька до мого серця книга з головним героєм, який мовчить в більшості. Авторка створила таке дивне село, світ, куди хочеться повернутись❤️

I went into this book completely blind and did not expect to love it the way I did but I ended up falling head over heels for Kennedy and Ziggy.
Kennedy has sworn off romance because he’s tired of not being valued and feeling like he’s too much. Ziggy, on the other hand, has never been in a relationship and is dealing with his very first crush on someone who has given up on love. The setup alone surprised me, and the execution made me melt.
I loved all the characters main cast, side characters, even Lynx (okay, no, I still have beef with Lynx, but that’s beside the point). The communication in this book was everything. Ziggy, who has selective mutism, finds ways to communicate with Kennedy, and Kennedy who has zero patience learns how to be patient for Ziggy. That growth was beautiful to watch.
This book was soft, sweet, and tender in the best way. I kept blushing for them. Seeing Kennedy finally being appreciated and reassured that he isn’t too much especially with how clingy and careful he is meant everything to me.
My only concern is Kennedy and his brothers (Hunter and Hart). They really need to talk, and I’m hoping that gets addressed later maybe in Hart’s book, which I’m already excited for (even if Lynx comes first).
Overall, I had such a good time with this book. It was cozy, emotional, and full of love. I love love and I love them so much.
