Wild
Short, sexy and to the point...
Hanna Mitchell hopped on the first thing smoking out of Blue Falls the second she graduated high school. Overcome with the need to travel and sow her wild oats, she’s spent the better part of seven years living and working abroad. Enjoying new places and new experiences whenever it strikes her fancy. When her latest fun loving Irish boyfriend breaks things off, Hanna begins to realize just how restless she’s been feeling lately and suddenly she longs for home. Her sister Mona and her husband are heading out of town for a few weeks and need a house sitter. Perfect.
Brent Doyle has seen a long list of interesting things while on duty as a highway patrol officer for the Blue Falls Sheriff’s department but nothing could have prepared him for the day he pulls over a scantily clad Hanna. The girl he spent most of his childhood teasing mercilessly has grown up into a beautiful woman. One look at her and it becomes his personal mission to talk her out of her clothes and into his bed.
As it often happens, what begins as a simple arrangement soon becomes more than either party anticipated. Can Hanna learn to let go of the past and trust in herself? Is Brent willing to wait for the woman who has unexpectedly captured his heart?
Sam Elliot, a pair of handcuffs and at least one Tolkien reference help guide this unlikely couple toward their happily ever after.

YES! A million times YES!
Any book that starts with the female lead in a situation like Hanna Mitchell finds herself in at the start of this novella is going to have my rapt attention. The visuals I formed easily in my head were vivid & I was living in the story before I'd even turned the first page.
Hanna is 'a Mitchell Girl' - if you've read #Clipped you know exactly what I mean - so you know you're in for a great time. Well, Hanna did not let me down!!!
As for our male lead... well let me tell you, the first description we get of Brent Doyle had me drooling.
DRO-OOO-LING!!
Not unlike Hanna, I couldn't wait to see what was under that man's uniform. #HelloOfficer!
The chemistry and sex is off the charts haaawwttt, and there is little wonder my other half likes it when I've read one of Stella's books.
The writing & dialogue is smart, sassy, sweet, witty, funny and sexy. With brilliantly placed pop-culture references it kept me laughing out loud, and that's not including the epic one-liners from both Hanna & Brent. Stella also did a brilliant job of plucking at a few hearts strings too, with some touching moments that totally gave me the feels.
Bottom line, I inhaled the words from the screen. I'm a total #BlueFallsAddict as it is, and this novella just further cemented my love for all things #BlueFalls and #StellaJames.
PS: the sneak peek snippet of the next Blue Falls Book has got me like... #GimmeGimme!

A million stars!!! I loved Hanna and Brent! Stella knows how to pack great characters, personality, and super hot sexy time into a short story. In my opinion, novellas are often OTT and unbelievable and complete insta-love, but this was PERFECTION. Believable. Not over the top. Super hot (like really hot *ahem* reverse cowgirl) and also super sweet. Loved it. Can't wait for the next Blue Falls installment.

Fun, smutty, and hot.
Yeah that pretty much sums up Hanna and Brent.
Hanna is back in Blue Falls after 8 years of sowing her wild oats across the globe. She's here just for now until she gets her next urge to run, and she will. She always gets that urge.
Brent teased Hanna from elementary school until graduation day. The day she left and didn't come back. Now she's back and he's thinking he may be interested in more than just teasing.
These two together are so fun and so hot. Of course this is a novella so nothing too deep or too angsty happens, but there is some hot and steamy naughty bits. There is also a defining choice moment, and it was actually really sweet how it played out. Brent and Hanna may have had a tense past, but their future is pretty smooth and I love both epilogues that Stella gives us. Her epilogues are always pretty epic if you ask me.
Also in this novella we get glimpses of Brent's brother Eric and his little girl. I can NOT wait for his story. I'm sorry, single dads do it for me. Like... so hard.
Amazing writing as always. Funny, sweet, and hot. Can't ask for much more.

A steamy and fun romance.
I got to say I love Stella’s writing. Not only did this book have an awesome love story, it also made me laugh. Hanna’s inner thoughts are just perfect. She’s awesome, just like her sister Mona. And as for Brent, he's one sexy cop! I loved Hanna and Brent's connection from the beginning!
I definitely recommend this book and this series!

Wow!
For such a short book, this had everything I love in a novel. I loved Hanna and Brent! I do admit, though, that the first time I met Brent, I wanted to punch him. He was so cocky. But that bit of irk did not last long. Nope. Not at all. Brent was sexy and turned out to be sweet. Hanna was perfect from the first page. AND, she was perfect for Brent. Their chemistry was believable and oh-so-hot!
Truthfully there was nothing about this book I didn't love. Well, maybe that I wish it was longer.
Hanna is Mona's sister. We met Mona in the beginning of the series and more intimately in her own book, Clipped. Hanna has a wanderer's heart and spirit. Thanks to the abandonment of her mother, she has never been able to stay in one place for very long before she's itching to take off. Hanna loved traveling, however she wishes her 'spirit' will let her settle in one place. She wants what her sister and friends have; to settle down in love with a man that will love her how she is. She never dreamed that man would be the boy that teased her mercilessly when they were kids.
Brent could not believe his eyes when he saw Hanna for the first time in eight years. He thought she was sexy and stunning. I guess maybe he shouldn't have acted like a total jerk when he pulled her over for speeding. The sexy-as-sin cop that is Brent Doyle can pull me over anytime!
Needless to say Brent wanted Hanna. Badly. What he didn't expect was wanting her for more than one night. Brent wanted Hanna to stay with him in Blue Falls forever. I loved watching the development of Brent and Hanna's relationship turn from lust to love. Stella's dialogue was smart and witty. The added humor was perfect. I laughed so much with this book.
"With great cock, comes great responsibility."
"Did you just use a Spider-man reference in regard to my dick?"
"Shit, I said that out loud."
"Yes."
I'm going to be sorry to see this series end; thank God there is one more book to go. That said, I look forward to more smutty love from Stella James.
*Stella, every time you give me a new hero, I have a new book boyfriend. (Of course, Asher is still my guy ;)

I've been itching to hear more about Hanna when she was mentioned in Clipped and we have this "Wild" woman's story now. I was instantly filled with laughter when Brent gets his sexy officer eyes back on her again after all these years. This book is filled with everything you could want. The sex, oh the sex is hot hot hot and it's just a great read. Loved the way things turned out and we even get a preview to the next installment of the Blue Falls series. Absolutely must read story, you WILL NOT be disappointed. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
February 10, 2017
If I could give ten million stars, it wouldn't be enough.
Every thing Stella James writes, I gobble up instantly.
This read is exactly what I love from Stella but never repetitive or similar. She manages to instantly set you down with these characters like they're right in front of you.
Hanna and Brent are both strong leads with their own identities and personalities that have you laughing and rooting for.
Sexy AF, witty AF, so well written and the perfect addition to this series.
Keep 'em coming sister!

Do not underestimate this sexy little novella. It may be small but it is jam packed with awesomeness!! And how can it not be awesome when it is written by Stella James!
Wild is a super fun sexy read. You will fall in love with Hanna right away from her style to her charming humour! Then you meet sexy hot Brent Doyle. The hot cop you would speed down highways and byways just to catch his attention!
I highly recommend this book or any book by Stella James!

My girl Stella James killed it again! Mona Mitchell is my spirit animal and her little sister, Hanna, is a close runner up! If I was able to travel and live carefree, I'd want to do it up like Hanna in yellow rubber boots and Wonder Woman underpants. This story is short and sweet. I absolutely loved Brent. Love the Mitchell's and Blue Falls keeps pumping out some beautiful characters and stories. Great job Stella!
February 12, 2017
Ahh, the Blue Falls crew has done it again.
I read this series at first, a bit out of order. Because my first visit was with Mona in Clipped. Which just so happens to be one of my very favorite reads of 2016. And...um, I read a lot. So yeah. Anyway! When I realized the other Mitchell sister was getting her own short, hot, sweet romance, I was all in.
Right to the point, with lots of heat and plenty of sweet, I loved this almost as much as Mona's story. But, I really, really, loved Hanna and Brent. I kind of forgot about Brent, but he reminded me right away that he deserved his own HEA. I loved their realtionship, and the build up between the two! Another awesome visit to the land of Blue Falls by Stella James!

There is absolutely nothing NOT to love about this book!! Stella has written another phenomenal short story that will blow you away! It is a short, super freakin' sexy read and you want to take the time to enjoy it! Hanna is my role model and I want to be her when I grow up, she is feisty, sexy, super funny and sarcastic and yet you can't help but love her from the first page. Brent is the witty, sexy cop that you want to devour all on your own and is what book boyfriends are made of! I had the most amazing time, laughing and crying and Stella has once again got me waiting for another one of her fabulous novels! Enjoy! ps. the sexy scenes are very hot;)

*Fans self* Goodness! Those Mitchell girls know what they’re doing! Stella James’ Wild is smoking HOT!! This quick steamy novella is explosive heat from beginning to end. I enjoyed every second of it.
Hanna and Brent, sigh, I completely fell for these characters. The chemistry between the two is off the charts. Brent Doyle, highway patrol officer and possessor of handcuffs (*wink), is all kinds of sexy. 6 foot 4 of pure male goodness. Gah! His mastery at taking charge, Yes please! I'd like that a million times over. And then there’s Hanna Mitchell... apparently, my girl crush extends to both Mitchell girls because I love Hanna. Younger sister to Mona (one of my favorite characters ever), Hanna can really hold her own. She’s hot, sassy, and I adore her wit. The girl is every bit as sexy as Brent. When they get together, it's fireworks.
I just loved this novella so much. Stella James continues to impress. The Blue Falls (the little town overflowing with crazy hot people) series very quickly became one of my favorites and I'm super excited to see what more this town has to offer.

Stella James you amaze me - loved it!
This read had me laughing one minute and thigh clenching the next.
Erotic, fun and extremely witty well written Novella.
Hanna is an absolute scream and obviously a wild one like her sister Mona.
And the gorgeous sexy man mountain Office Doyle can cuff me anytime.
Off to the store to get me some Wonder Woman panties and a pair of yellow gum boots.

I love Wild, by Stella James! This steamy and to the point story leaves you reeling for more between World Traveler Hanna and Hot Cop Brent! I finished this addictive read in one sitting. I especially love the double Epilogue that ties the story up very nicely. I can't wait to read more books about the couples of Blue Falls!
March 5, 2017
Novella are fun for 2 things! You can get trough it one shot and the story has no dead moments. Stella James is filthy in her writing. Her female characters are strong despite their human weakness and her male characters are hot. Swooning. Wild is hot, fun, strait to the point. And I loved it. Reading it was like having a bachelorette party over my place. No tabou. No restrains. It's steamy, naughty and its all a girls needs to escape the monotony of the daily routine. I love Stella's writing. It's handled in a very humour way. Full of personality and colourful. If you haven't read this novella, you're missing on a good one. I'm ready for the next one.
February 11, 2017
Stella James does it again. Hanna and Brent's story is a fun quick read. I am a Blue Falls fan and this story is silly, hot and sincere. James has landed this combo again and again always with a varying set of circumstances and although they are standalones you do get hints of characters past in every read. This is my unbiased opinion.
February 11, 2017
I am loving this Blue Falls series! "Wild" was a great, straight to the point, satisfying quick read. I loved Hanna from the moment she was driving in only underwear, rain boots, and a Sam Elliot tshirt. I mean, come on, this girl is someone I wanna hang out with!
Brent and Hanna were super fun characters and I loved reading their story.
Also, an easy way to win me over is to reference Lord of the Rings :)
Stella is definitely one of my new favorite authors!
I received an ARC and this is my honest review of an excellent novella :)

This book is the best!! Left me wishing it was a series in itself rather than just a novella. A wonderful romance full of perfectly steamy love scenes and hilarious antics. Hanna is amazing and had me laughing out loud often. Stella please find another outlet for Hanna!! I need more!
February 8, 2017
Voluntarily read an ARC for my honest review.
***Gonna write a better review later and tell you how awesome and funny and super duper sexy this little novella is.***

Sam Elliot! Isn't that enough reason to love this novella?!?! Then she throws in all of Brent's sexiness?
(swooning)
Just read it.

This book, like the others in the series is simply perfection. If you are looking for just a sweet boy meets girl love story, these books are for you! This is a novella about a free spirit who's looking for the connection, that one thing that's going to make her want to put down roots. Such a great story, with a HEA. It is a novella, just in case your were expecting a full length novel.
