Wilder In Love

by Charlie Cochet

Even before they fell in love, Sacha “Joker” Wilder had already changed Giovanni Galanos’s world—protecting him, making him laugh, and forcing him to face a truth he’d been avoiding.

When violence erupts on the red carpet and their world is turned upside down, Gio is left reeling with guilt and fear that he could lose the man who means everything to him.

But when the danger returns, Gio discovers a strength he never knew he had, because this time, he’s the only thing standing between Sacha and the man determined to destroy everything they’ve built together.

Content Warning: Gun violence in a public space, hospital, head trauma, mention of past military trauma.

Unexpected side effect of reading this - This book got me a bit choked up because everyone is getting older, like it's been 7 years since Ace met Colton. And the dogs are getting older - and I don't know how Charlie will write stories set in another 7 years from this one.

I adore Gio and Joker together. They're right at the top of my list of favorite Kings couples right with King and Leo. I love the family, always growing, adding more men and dogs LOL.

I read this as part of her patreon releases, and I love all the new story that's been added to it! If you're a member of her patreon, make sure you grab the final released edition b/c there is a lot more story that's been added!

Greg does an amazing job narrating this whole series. And I'm so happy that Leo's voice sounded a bit better than it was in the holiday novellas (more like his own book)

I can't wait for more in the Kings world. This is my ultimate comfort series and I always love a visit with any and everyone. But can we figure out how to make the dogs immortal????

This refers to the audiobook version.
So good to be back int he Kings Universe again. It feels like such a long time. This story follows Sasha and Gio as they attend an event where someone tries to shoot Gio, but hits Sasha instead. Sasha is in a coma and the whole Kings family have to face the worry that comes from not knowing when he will recover. The story digs into their relationships and touches on their brotherhood as well. Great short story to keep us invested and waiting for the next one.
Greg Boudreaux as always gives a fantastic performance.

Aw, it was so lovely to spend more time with Gio and Joker and the dogs. This was a fun novella in the series. I laughed and cried in equal measure. Joker and Chip have long been favourites and it was great to catch up with the rest of the Kings too. I can't believe Lucky voluntarily gave Joker his flan - iykyk 😉 4*

This is such a wonderful return to two of the best characters from the slings world. The family and friendships are real. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
