Book Review:: Wild About You | Jo Lovett

Second chance romance just has a little something extra — am I right?

Flavia and Dominic grew up together, and their family’s remain close friends. That didn’t stop them from having a passionate tryst in their early twenties, just when both of them were about to embark on new life trajectories. Now years later, Flavia is at the end of her marriage, and she wins a vacation to South Africa in a raffle, and Dominic wins the other ticket.

This is a romance that won’t surprise you. At times, it glosses over some of the emotional work, doing more telling than I’d generally prefer, over showing, however, there is a lot of emotional work going on for the characters before they are ready to give into this thing for real. In that sense, it’s not ‘too easy’ of a romance, which I always appreciate.

It was actually quite a pleasant little adventure. A one-day, entertaining, endearing little romance perfect for summer.

Note:: I received an early copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
