Wild For You

Always a Bridesmaid #3

by Jessie Evans

Was this what it felt like to fall in love? Real love?

Melody March has always been the good, sweet, obedient little sister. The one who did what she was told. The one who never stepped out of bounds.

And Nick Geary is absolutely, definitely out of bounds.

Never mind that he’s the wildest, hottest tattoo artist she’s ever laid eyes on. Or that a single brush of his lips is enough to set her body on her fire and her mind spiraling into the naughtiest thoughts she’s ever dreamed. He’s also the little brother of her sister’s new husband. And there’s no way she’s going to risk splitting her family apart for a guy.

Unless it’s really true love.

Can Melody unravel her feelings for Nick before she gets tangled up in something more dangerous than family drama?

Or will their wild desires overtake them before she can come back to her senses?

About the author

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Jessie Evans, gave up a career as an international woman of mystery to write the sexy, contemporary romances she loves to read.

She's married to the man of her dreams, and together they're raising a few adorable, mischievous children in a cottage in the jungle. She grew up in rural Arkansas, spending summers running wild, being chewed by chiggers, and now appreciates her home in a chigger-free part of the world even more.

When she's not writing, Jessie enjoys playing her dulcimer (badly), sewing the worlds ugliest quilts to give to her friends, going for bike rides with her house full of boys, and drifting in and out on the waves, feeling thankful for sun, surf, and lovely people to share them with.

The youngest March sister is tired of being the good girl. She has just broken up with her long time boyfriend when she finally realizes that she is fooling herself thinking there is a future with someone that doesn't value her or what she wants. I continue to love this series! Melody and Nick meet when her sister Aria hires Nick to help with one of the sisters' catering jobs. Nick is Aria's brother in law and something of a wild child, bad boy and so completely opposite everything Melody likes. So why is she both equally turned off and completely turned inside out by him? Their paring may seem off but there is something about the other that makes both Melody and Nick want to keep exploring their connection. However, neither of their family's are very supportive which causes more than a little of conflict. No matter the chemistry between them is intense and Nick finds that despite his fear of taking a chance with another "good girl", he can't seem to stay away. Melody on the other hand wants to stop being so safe in all her choices and do things that make her happy and more alive than she ever thought possible. Love these sisters! Love this pairing and the way that Nick and Melody find their truth in each other. Just a feel-good series!

*I was provided an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

What a sweet story! I had never read any of Jessie Evan's books, so when I was offered a free copy of this book for an honest review, I figured, 'Why not?' This is the third book of the 'Always A Bridesmaid' series, so there was some back information that could be gathered from the first two books, but you absolutely do not have to read the others first to enjoy this story.

It's almost impossible not to become invested in Melody's and Nick's story right from the start. Melody has always been the sweet peacemaker of the March family, but finds that she is willing to step out of her usual good girl role and do things a little differently in order to get the attention of Nick Geary, the 'bad boy' of his clan. Well, you know what happens when good girl meets bad boy; sparks fly right from the start, and there is just no stopping the heat that they create.

I enjoyed this book so much that I immediately followed it up with the first and second books in the series, and plan on reading the rest. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting these characters, as well as all of the supporting folks that made their story even richer.

Wild for You is book 3 in Jessie Evans’ Always a Bridesmaid series and is a perfectly sweet and sexy story of two opposites falling for one another. Melanie is the youngest of three sisters and is the "good girl" who always does the right thing. Nick has always been the rebel, the black sheep of his family doing whatever he pleases whenever he wants to. But as the connection and spark between them grows both Nick and Melody head down a road of self-discovery each beginning to realize the path they find themselves on together is definitely a road they wish to travel together. But when an unfortunate turn of events and misunderstanding occurs, will their dreams of a life together disintegrate or will Nick and Melody overcome the roadblocks to find the life they wish to live together in each other's arms.

I absolutely loved Wild for You. Jessie Evans has not only given us a wonderfully sweet romance but has also thrown in elements of suspense and uh-oh moments making this an entertaining story chapter after chapter right to the very end. This is an absolutely spectacular addition to Ms. Evans’ Always a Bridesmaid series.

I really liked this one--though an IMPORTANT COMPONENT was missing in this book--and it did not go unnoticed...

But I loved Melody--she is a great character--and Nick as well. Because both characters are much younger than the previous two MC's and love interests, this almost had a YA/ New Adult feel rather than a Cont. Rom. feel. And that was kind of cool:) But Aria and Nash are still my faves:)

Looking forward to reading Kitty's story next:)

I was really looking forward to this book and then the story did not really finish. While I understand that this is a series, the first two books had resolution. I have no problem with authors intertwining story lines to increase interest in future books but the story of the main H/h should be resolved. With this book that did not happen, you have to buy yet another book. I hate that. It should be a complete story. I don't even mind if the author shakes things up with the same characters in a following book but this left me feeling incomplete. Hate to say it but I won't read more from this author. It really is sad, she has a way with characters and story lines and she had me up until this book. I could not wait to read the second after finishing the first. I felt the same way about this third book.

Melody March is sick. Sick of being a good girl. The one that always does what is expected of her, without regard to what she wants. She is done pleasing others. This good girl's about to go wild. And right now she is wild for one Nick Geary. Handsome, sexy, tattooed and desirable, he wants her too, but Nick has been hurt by someone just like Melody and he isn't ready to go through it again. Except Melody isn't taking no for an answer, and when she needs him, Nick refuses to let her down. As their romance unfolds Mel and Nick face the fact that this fling is the real thing, but convincing their families of that may take more than they have to give. The third installment of the Always a Bridesmaid series is funny, sweet and sexy. Nick is one bad boy that is hard not to love and Melody is one sassy southern girl hard to resist. A fun read that reminds us that things aren't always what they seem and that love is worth fighting for. Always.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Now in book 3 we get the younger sister, Melody March. She is the typical southern bell and all out good girl. Also Melody is very sick of people thinking this of her.

Enter Nick Geary, bad boy, Nash's younger brother. His past determines who he believes he has to avoid so as not get his heart broken again. What he thinks is just a sense of looking out for his sister in law, isn't. Melody has her work cut out for her trying to win Nick's attention.

Things heat up between them and they soon realise this is more. We have all our regular characters from the previous story. The story takes some twists and turns, we have some very passionate scenes played out. We also have some terrifying moments when Melody is caught in a bad situation.

I think I am now hooked on these people, I need more and can't wait for the next book. Bring it on. Love this book.

[RedRedtheycallmeRed · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was part of the box set I bought, which includes books 1-3.

This book was kind of disappointment compared to the first two books. The characters were a bit too cliche for me: "good girl" Melody meets "bad boy" Nick, and it's infused with a bit of "this girl is too good for me", which is a storyline I don't like. It's also quite short, so the relationship moves way too fast.

Melody's parents were beyond obnoxious, who gets that involved in their GROWN daughters love/sex life? And of course Nick must be "bad" because he has tattoos and made Melody want one as well. The horror!

The thing I missed most from the other books is the relationship between the sisters. It was just Melody and Nick most of the time, and they just weren't as interesting as Lark/Mason or (especially) Aria/Nash.

[Mayas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Melody in mot the little refined girl her family wants her to be. She is getting tired of living her life to their standards. Also a little tired of the brush off from Nick. Not willing to allow him to get away that ease, Melody form a plan. The plan backfires but only in her eyes until she finds out why he was there saving her from the nightmare of the century.

Cursed with bad luck the two fight for the missing part of their being, each other. This was a sweet treat that shows how one person can bring out the hidden personality of the other.

[Carla Cabrera · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is the 3rd in the series and differs in that it is clean. I was actualy suprised that there were no hot loves scenes as in the first 2 books. Good girl Melody meets bad boy Nick. I don't really think Nick's a bad boy but relative to Melody he is. This book has a little suspense in it. I enjoyed the book.

[Bette Stanek · Rating 3 out of 5]

As with the first two in this series, it's a quick, fun, and entertaining read. No big surprises. A completely predictable girl embraces her wild side with a guy who isn't quite as wild as everyone thinks. He is, however, her brother-in-law's younger brother. If you like Nash, you'll love Nick. He's basically Nash with a twist.

[June · Rating 4 out of 5]

Melody and Nick have to overcome their families disliking of their relationship. After all, Melody is Aria's sister and Nick is Nash's brother and if things go bad, they don't want to deal with family issues. Nick didn't follow his parents advice when he left home so the family sees him as a little wild and irresponsible. But Melody has a way of helping him to see things clearly.

Good story.

[Erinne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved it. I wasn't sure when I first started the book if I would like Melody's story (she seemed so perfect) but at the end of Keeping You, when there was a brief appearance of Melody and Nick I was hooked.

It was a quick pace story with some drama thrown in along the way.

Fantastic.

[Crystal Yawn · Rating 5 out of 5]

this book, along with the first two, is wonderful. Jessie Evans does a fantastic job building a relationship with a bit of drama and flair. Nick and Melody are well developed characters who are opposites. looking forward to reading book #4

[Sheri · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was an entertaining short read. I listened to all three books in the series in one weekend while painting and redecorating my daughter's room....it was perfect for that task. While this might be considered new adult there was limited sexual content.

[Sharon Rudolph · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book!

I really enjoyed this book, this whole series was really good. I loved how each book was so different. One of my favorite parts was the wonderful epilogue at the end of this book! So glad I read this series.

Good

This book was a easy reading. Liked that it was a Good story that was not full of detailed sex

[Jaime · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really enjoyed Melody and Nick's story. I do wish there was a little more to their story at the end though.

[Donna Halloran · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not my kind of story. The characters were incredibly shallow - although it turns out it is one of several so maybe that had been developed earlier.

[Danielle Calabrese · Rating 4 out of 5]

3 1/2 stars! Another cute read in this series!
