RATING 4.5 STARS
Wilder: The Mountain Man’s Babies is book #3.7 in The Mountain Man series by Frankie Love. I’ve loved this series from the start but this one was a little different. Maybe a little more emotional with what Wilder has to go through. I loved it just the same.
Dean Wilder happily gave up his stressful life as an attorney to live in the mountains of Idaho near his brother, and his friends Buck and Jaxon. They earn their living by building beautiful mountain cabins. His friends and brother have all met the loves of their lives and seem to be having children in twins and triplets so there are babies everywhere. Wilder loves the quiet of the mountains but can’t deny that he is lonely and maybe a little bit jealous of the happiness his friends have found. The lifestyle of these mountain men and all the babies between them have caught the attention of a reality TV show. They want to film them while building a cabin and feature their way of life. So Wilder is elected due to his knowledge of the law, to travel to meet with the producers and make sure the contracts are fair and legal.
Stella Saint Claire is so tired of the way her older sister looks down her nose at Stella’s life. Her sister married for money but Stella refuses to do that. She wants success on her own terms. She is an interior designer and is applying for a position designing homes for a brand new reality TV program. When things don’t go quite as planned, she heads to the bar where she meets a swoony bearded man in a business suit who is in town just for one night for a business meeting.
Stella and Wilder’s night quickly turns into a night of passion. In parting, they agree not to share full names or phone numbers but to plan to meet again in three months at a particular location. This night, though, would change both of their lives forever. Upon Wilder’s return home, everything changes and his life is forever altered. For Stella, Wilder gave her a big boost of self confidence which also changed her life. But something else is about to change for Stella as well.
“Sometimes beauty is in the unexpected.”
Despite everything, will Stella and Wilder still keep their meeting as planned? Is there a way for their futures to come together?
This book was very short but oh so sweet. Wilder was sexy as heck and gave Stella the night of her life. But he wants more. Wilder also has a lot more on his own plate than was anticipated. Will he be able to convince Stella that her life is with him in the mountains?
This book can be read as a stand alone. But as I said earlier, I have loved this entire series so I urge you to take a look at the earlier books. Frankie Love has quickly jumped to the top of my list of favorite authors. I’ve loved every single thing of hers I’ve read so far. And I don’t anticipate that changing any time soon. So do you enjoy reading about over the top hot mountain men who know what they want and don’t hesitate to get it? Then this series is for you.

3 ONS/INSTA LUV STARS
This story is nothing new honestly and I feel it's been done to death with the pregnant by the one night stand storyline. But the multiples, THAT WAS NEW!
But Stella was only worried about her career and Wilder was just about her and the family he hoped to get. He even said it on their first night together, after she tells him that she is on the pill he responds with this,
“Because I’d love nothing more to knock you up. To put a baby in you and keep you as my woman.”
And she answers: “I don’t want babies for a long time,” She was more concerned about proving herself and asserting her independence with her career than having a relationship.
It was just blah here as he lets her go and goes about his life and she does the same.
Essentially, as they say their lives are changed because of the other, but they really aren't!
Well, not that I can see!
Only in this case I couldn't feel it either!
What love!?
I didn't feel anything!
For me, being told they are into each other and that they love each other is not enough.
Come on, He didn't get to come for the ultrasound when she found out about the twins.
Seriously, he knows she is pregnant and he leaves....again!!!
Yes, he is sooo overwhelmingly in LOVE with the heroine!
Sure, let's go with that.
If you believe that then I have some property to sell ya on the moon. It has an spectacular view and everything!
I really wanted more passion and more intensity! It was very ordinary and I wouldn't read this book again.
The babies on the cover are cute, but that kind of it.
Tell you the truth, I was expecting more!
Ah well on to the next read!
Safety is fine except for no condoms.

3.5 stars
I liked this short little read. It filled the order of low angst and hot that I wanted.
Although it is a standalone, the couples from her previous books are in the story. Having read them, it just enhanced the book, but it wasn't necessary to have read them.
I really liked the hero, Wilder. He was great. I felt for him because he was overwhelmed and trying his best.
The heroine however was just ok for me. She left a bad taste in my mouth early on. She did get better, but by that time the impression was made.
no cheating or ow/om drama whatsoever. The ending in my opinion was just HFN and kind of abrupt. Definitely wanted more.

"Wilder" The Mountain Man's Babies: The Mountain Man #3.7 is by author Frankie Love.
My Rating: 4 Stars
Why do I get so excited when Frankie Love releases a new Mountain Man novella? They are similar in premise and easily predictable. But that doesn't seem to bother me because I soak them up regardless. I know exactly what to expect; a super short cheesy, smutty romance that is both erotic and sweet.
Oh...don't let me forget about the babies!
I love that Frankie's heroes are so OTT, alpha, sexy and dirty talkers. But they are also loyal, loving, protective, sweet and tender.
Wilder was a cute addition to this series. However I wished that the H/h weren't apart for half of the book as short as it was.
Wilder (Dean) and Stella.....
I liked Dean a lot. He wasn't as OTT as some of the other mountain men in this series. That's not to say he was any less attentive. Dean lives in the mountains with the other couples of past novels. He wants what they all have. Love and family. Dean is ready to settle down. On a business trip, he meets Stella in the hotel bar. There is instant attraction between them. Dean knows one night with Stella is not enough. He wants to get to know her better. Unfortunately, they live in different states and Stella's career is finally going where she wants it to.
There was a sad aspect to this book that effects Dean. My heart broke for him. I was so impressed how he handled it. From that moment, I became Dean's biggest cheerleader.
Stella was an okay heroine. Her biggest asset to me was that she made Dean happy and that's all I wanted for him. She was hesitant about the relationship but she eventually came around. However, she did keep a secret from him that I didn't approve of.
All in all, their relationship worked out; they were happy and blissfully in love. Considering they were apart for half the book, that says a lot. Wilder was really short at only 95 pages. I wished it were longer so Stella and Dean would have had more "page" time together. Looking forward to see what Frankie writes next in her Mountain Man series.
*Just want to add how sexy AND adorable the cover for this book is ;)

BAM!
Babies Bam!
It is a super short novella length story that gets right to the business.. of making babies... lots and lots of babies. So if surprise babies and insta attraction stories are your jam then dive right in!
Stella and Wilder would not even need any matches should they get stranded on an island together to survive, their chemistry alone would set half the island on fire. Stella looking for a chance to make herself shine and Wilder being a good grizzly bear alpha man taking care of those he loves. Their meet is serendipitous but their fate is destined no matter what hurdles are thrown their way. In such a short story they do face a whole lot of! Some moments made me go "aww"... same made me shake my head... but in the end my heart was full of a beautiful HEA ending.
Although the story is standalone the characters from the previous semi-related stories are in the story. I dived right into this WILDER without any other background of previous characters but now I am going to make sure to go back and catch up on some of the awesome secondary characters that I have met... and so should you! But that is my 2 cents...

In-between my serious reads, I enjoyed reading Ms. Love's short, fun, sexy, easy reads. Each of her tales are full with an insta-love with enough bumpy rides to make it very entertaining. She has a way of putting the right balance between steaminess, emotion and love into her stories to make them compelling reads I find addictive. I highly recommend this book (whether you've read the series or not, it's not necessary but I guarantee you'll want to read them all when you're done. ;)

Heroine just pissed me off. Otherwise - totally predictable preggers from a ONS.

Cold unfeeling heroine!
February 18, 2017
Short story means short review don't want to give away much. The Hero and Heroine have a one night stand leaving a set date for 3 months to see each other again. In those short 3 months, things change the hero was a bachelor living in the mountain only to have lost his brother and sister in law leaving him guardian of his nephews. The heroine ends up getting pregnant but when the hero finds out he knows he will do everything to take care of her. Some bumps along the way but in the end they do live happily ever after like his friends. SWEET story, alpha male who knows what he wants.

The couple: Dean Wilder and Stella
Romance genre: mountain man
Series: The Mountain Man's Babies
Length: 100 pages
Plot: Dean and Stella meet one night at a bar - she's trying to get a job as an interior designer and he's in town for a business meeting. They agree to meet again in three months, but in the meantime, Dean becomes the guardian for his brother's children and Stella has some bog news of her own.
Commentary: Like a lot of the other reviewers, this h wasn't my favorite. Even though I could never be a stay-at-home mom (permanently) myself, I'm not a fan of the high-powered career woman-type of heroine/ That's just a personal preference, and in this case, I think most people were seeing that Stella wasn't really looking to be a mom, not to her own or other people's kids, and so for it to be kind of forced on her made it feel less like a fated love and more like an obligation.

These are fun short stories that you usually just have to go with to enjoy them. My have to go with in this book was that Stella would have a one night stand with a complete stranger and not use a condom. Not believable at all!
I sort of liked the whole not knowing each others names, but picking a date to met in the future. I loved how Wilder got the support he needed when his life changed in a dime and how those same friends showed Stella what she would be in store for if she picked Wilder.

Title: Wilder
Author: Frankie Love
4 unexpected stars
This is the second novel I read from Frankie Love in The Mountain Men's Babies series, the first being Buck and Rosie's story. While I didn't hate the story, I didn't love it either, leaving me on the fence as to how to phrase my review. I still found some the same problems with Wilder that I did with Buck 0 I had troubles fully connection with the characters and there were times when I thought that the story was rushed, even though I'm aware that it's a short story. Having met at a bar in the hotel that neither knew their reasons for being there were almost identical, Dean and Stella have a torrid affair that has lasting results on both their lives.
4 breath taking dreams
Frankie Love knows how to make her men both alphas and sensitive 'bears' that know what their women need even before they know themselves. These men are what women dream about: hot, sexy, naughty, looking for a long term relationship and a family. The added bonus? These men aren't afraid to tell the women how they feel about them. Wilder is one of those books that kept me on the fence since I loved the story itself and the idea of it, but I had so much troubles completely connection with the characters and some of the things that happened to them. However, I still enjoy Frankie Love's writing and will absolutely be reading more from her in the future.

Quick little read
I liked it. There wasn’t much time to develop a plot or flesh out the characters or the main action but she did a good job with it anyway. I got the gist quickly like a good situational story from one of my friends. If you’re in between your regular books, then this is a good quickie.

This is my first book by this author. I've been eyeing this whole series because I love the idea of each book but after reading the description of this one and seeing that amazing cover (I'm a sucker for babies!!!) I needed to read it!
Wilder was HOT! Just like his name states. I really loved how he wanted better things but also the simple things in life. He was a smooth talker and it worked well for what he wanted to achieve. My heart broke for him during the time he loses his brother, it was sad to read and you could feel his struggle.
Stella wanted more from life and went after it. I loved her, she was down to earth. She took things in stride even when things happened out of her control.
I will be going back and reading the other books. I love men and babies, I love outdoor type men, and alphas to boot so this series will be right up my alley. I loved seeing all the characters from I'm assuming past books so that is what makes me want to read all the others.
This was on the sorter side but packed full of heat and heart. I really enjoyed everything about it. I don't want to give to much away but from their first meeting it gets better and better. My only complaint was some of the dirty talk. It made me giggle at choice words that were used. 4 stars #2OCCJD

I read some of the other books in this series awhile back and I think I rated them all 5 stars, if your a fan of Insta-ott-love then you'll like these books, although I enjoyed this book for me a couple of things stood out, for one inconsistencies, Wilder's brother and sister in law both die and he becomes the parent to their twins, at this point he says they are 6 months old, but then when he meets up with Stella 3 months later he tells her he has 6 months old twins.. so they've not aged in the 3 months then? lol
Also as much as I love Insta love short stories full of hot dirty sex this just made me cringe.. really who says stuff like this?
Wilder: “Your cunt is a fucking creamsicle.”
Stella: "Then you better lick me before I melt"
But.. I wouldn't rule out reading it again (I'll just close my eyes when that bit comes along) :-D
For what it is, apart from those two issues it was a good story, and with it being a very short read I find it easier to forgive things that annoy me.

Stella: "Then you better lick me before I melt"
But.. I wouldn't rule out reading it again (I'll just close my eyes when that bit comes along) :-D
For what it is, apart from those two issues it was a good story, and with it being a very short read I find it easier to forgive things that annoy me.

It was pretty good.
What I didn't like - Wilder was with a different woman in the last book, and in this one, he planned to "get laid" in Seattle. Rosie says he can sleep with whoever as long as he doesn't knock anyone up the mountain group approves. I understand people have pasts, but I don't like casual sex, and it's disappointing that Dean is of that mindset in the time frame of these books. And why is Rosie condoning it? I'm not crazy about the reality TV thing in this book, but I understand why and hope it doesn't mess up the serues.
What I did like - The makeshift mountain family continues to grow, and it's great. I love the support and love everyone shows.
Overall - Decent almost sorta instalove that's a good addition to the series. Could be better but could be worse

YES! Frankie Love, oh how I love you!
Wilder is everything I have come to expect from one of Frankie's mountain men stories. He's sexy, sweet, alpha, and knows exactly what he wants. This one has all the feels. My heart broke for him and my heart was uplifted when he finally got what he deserved--love.
Not just smut, but romance too.
Babies everywhere! And getting a peek at the previous mountain men in the series was awesome.
Four stars and four wet panties.

DNF @ 54%. Didn't like that the h was so against his kids. They just didn't suit each other in my opinion. Which sucks because I absolutely love anything Frankie Love.
Ha... see what I did there? I'm really laughing right now.

**3.5 Mountain Man stars**
This is the first book I have read by this author. It is very short novella and reads very quick. The pace is fast. The people are enjoyable to read about. The secondary characters were fun as well.
This book is about love at first sight and passion that ignites and leaves both main characters wanting more. Dean Wilder knows what he wants when he sees all his friends happy with their wives and big brood. The Mountain men are remodeling a home for reality tv for their lumberjack/carpentry business. He was a lawyer and walked away to live on the mountain for peace and quiet. Then because he is a lawyer he goes to look at the contracts and make sure everything is good.
Stella needs this job as a designer for the reality series. She then is there and sees Wilder in a bar goes after what she wants and it is him. You're thinking one night right? So was I. We know what happens when we assume. They make plans for 3 months from then. When Wilder is on his way home his life changes forever.
Wiler is the epitome of manly. He is a burly, bearded, alpha male with tattoos and a big giant heart, lumberjack. Stella is strong, determined and confident most of the time. She knows what she needs and wants to take care of her future. She wants to make it on her own and not use her family or the name. She disagrees with her sister and what she should do with her life. There was a moment I wanted to throttle the sister.
Join Wilder and Stella and see if their completely opposite worlds collide

I love this series. Just like the previous books in the series. Wilder is a quick romantic story about two completely different people who make it work. Dean Wilder has become an instant guardian to two small babies after the death of his brother and sister in law. A project for a tv reality show with his friends to build a house in the mountains. He packs up and goes to meet with producers to iron out the details, this is where he meets Stella, a one night stand that is love at first sight. Stella needs time to process so they agree to meet up later, and she has a suprise for Wilder when the day comes, and he really needs to tell her something as well. Good story that brings in the characters from the first two books, which I love. It keeps everything up to date on everyones lives. Wilder is the perfect mountain man for Stella, and now they will be parents of four.

3* read.
This is a very short and fast paced novella size read although I didn't realize it was a novella when I first picked it up. While it was a short read it was well wrote and there is a lot of depth to the book I just struggled to connect to the characters in such a short amount of time which is a problem I sometimes have with novellas. I don't want to give to much away of the actual plot so I wont say much more except to say that if short quick paced book are your type of read then this is worth a look.
I will defiantly be reading more from this author and I look forward to seeing their other work. Again if you want a quick well wrote read with insta love mixed in then this is the book for you.

Sweet, hot & determined Mountain man
WILDER by Frankie Love is a fun, quick read. This almost insta-love is filled with emotions and babies. Wilder is the hot alpha mountain man who meets the woman of his dreams by chance. Stella is struggling to make it on her own and determined to be independent.
I really enjoyed the fated twists and turns of Wilder and Stella's story from each of their perspectives that ultimately bring them together. I also liked that as the third book in this series, the author revisits the characters of the first two books. Although, one does not need to have read the previous books to follow along in this one.
Overall, a well written short story that is a quick read without feeling anything is missing before the HEA ending arrives.

I loved Wilder and Stella! I could not put the book out, as soon as I saw that it was published I hit the one click button and finished it in a matter of hours. I love Frankie Love's books mostly because they are quick, to the point, and a guilty pleasure. Stella is an interior designer trying to make it on her own without her parents or a man to take care of and Wilder is a mountain man who in a matter of days got his life thrown upside down and when they meet again there are updates on both ends. I had an expectation of what the book was going to be so not many twists and turns, but I still enjoyed it and was happy with the ending. Sometimes things just work out as they should.

I love Frankie Love's Mountain Man series, and Wilder is a great addition. It might be shorter than the other books, but it gives us enough story for Wilder and Stella to get their romance. This one was a little different from the other books, not so much about the mountain man roughing it away from civilization, but more about Wilder wanting a little of what his brother and buddies have - love, family, and babies. Stella gave him a much needed boost in that direction. A good but teary plot twist to keep things interesting, plenty of heat between the sheets, and you have another amazing Frankie-style romance.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

When I saw the silly cover, I was intrigued. The MM books have been average read for me so far; still I decided to try this out.
Stella, the daughter of a shipping magnet is trying to find a niche in reality TV.
Her one night stand with Wilder leaves her pregnant.
On the other hand, Wilder's brother and wife are killed in a car crash and he becomes responsible for their kids.
How one man goes from being single to dad of 4 is the story.
I did not like Stella at all. Im ok with being career driven but to me she sounded like a selfish B.
Kudos to Wilder for putting up with her.
Safe read
2.5/5
