ABOUT THE STORY:
Ryan
Some might say I’m running away. I prefer to look at it as an extended vacation, from social media, the paparazzi, and my very public life back in Los Angeles.
That’s why I rented a small cabin in the woods in Nowhere, Wisconsin. I needed an escape and time to lick my wounds from a breakup. What I wasn’t expecting was Marcus Wright, the most frustrating man on the face of the planet, to be right next door. Our chemistry is undeniable, and it doesn’t take long to realize a summer fling is just what the doctor ordered.
Our time has a deadline though, and at the end of a month, I’m going back home to Los Angeles. Problem is, despite Marcus’s grumpy demeanor, I’m not sure I want to.
Marcus
My days, and some of my nights, are spent working on vehicles in my shop. Working and living in my hometown of Pine Village is where I’m comfortable, where I belong.
My quiet little world is disrupted the day Ryan Marcotte rolls into town in her high heels and designer clothes. She’s the exact opposite of me, a spoiled rich girl who pushes my buttons like no other. She’s famous, has her own TV show, and is only here for a short time. I’m also wildly attracted to her. I try to fight it, but the pull is too strong. So when she suggests a little no-strings fun, I’m all in.
Unfortunately, our private bubble is popped the moment fans discover her location. All good things must come to an end. I just wasn’t expecting my heart to be so invested.

Pretty Wild by Lacey Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was a great read! Marcus and Ryan’s enemies-to-lovers dynamic was packed with witty banter and sizzling chemistry. Watching their relationship evolve from strangers to something deeper was truly enjoyable.
Marcus is the broody, small-town guy whose love for routine and and keeping to himself life simple, while Ryan is a city girl trying to escape the spotlight. Their banter was pure gold, and the chemistry between them was impossible to ignore.
The pacing was just right, giving me time to really get to know and love both characters. This was the perfect book to spend my Sunday with.
