Wilde's End

The Wilde Men, Book 1

By: Saxon James

Narrated by: Tim Paige, Liam DiCosimo

Hudson

Give me the smallest reason to make a bad decision, and I’ll jump in with both feet. Case in point: thinking that drunkenly buying an abandoned town with my brothers is a good idea.

As builders, we plan to renovate and flip the town, maybe turn it into something worth seeing, but the longer we’re here, the more things feel … off.

It’s not until a bearded mountain man breaks into my room in the middle of the night and threatens for us to get out of his town that I realize Wilde’s End isn’t as abandoned as we were told.

But there’s nothing waiting for me in the life I left behind, and in making his demands, Wilde has accidentally tapped into my competitive side.

Terrible decisions? Me?

Wilde can bring it on.

Wilde

I escaped to Wilde’s End twenty years ago, and since then I’ve dedicated my life to the town and the people who live there. Because if I focus on others, I don't have the time or energy to face everything I’ve been running from.

The Bellamy brothers coming to town is like three horsemen of the goddamn apocalypse. They leave destruction in their wake, and when the eldest, Hudson, ignores my very kind request to leave, it’s time to take things into my own hands. Protecting this town is all I know how to do.

But I’ve never faced someone like Hudson.

His stubbornness matches mine, and his attitude has an irritating way of worming under my skin. The more I push him, the harder he pushes back, until we’re locked in a game neither of us will walk away from.

With his smart mouth, bullheaded recklessness and those damn eyelashes I’m starting to question whether I can win this one.

But if I lose, this town isn’t the only thing on the line.

Great story

Where this was tense, sweet, and down right makes you want to fuss in the best way. Seeing how their HEA unfolded is definitely worth the credit.

Great performances!

Great performances and cute story! Love the fresh plot and look forward to more adventures with the Bellamy brothers in Wild’s End.

I like it

I was very intrigued by this new world and characters. Enemies-to-lovers is one of my favorite tropes. the story was really good, a lot of information. the audio was wonderfully done as well.

I look forward to the next book.

Audio relisten
Tim Paige and Liam DiCosimo were fantastic. As soon as I read this book I knew I was going to want to listen to the audiobook and it has me even more excited to listen to Ziggys book on audio
——————————————
The dynamics between all the different relationships were so fun to watch develop! Whether between Hudson and Wilde or all the brothers I was laughing, emotional, frustrated, I felt all the feelings!

The mouth on both of these men had me flabbergasted in all the right ways!!! But then it was so soothing to see them get emotional with each other as well!

This is one I will definitely be going back to listen to on audio.

What to expect
Enemies to lovers
Fight club
City boy x wild man
Small town
Grumpy x snarky
Hate f**king

And really cannot wait for Ziggys book!!!

Thank you Saxon and Hambright PR for allowing me to read this book as an ARC💛

where was the editor?

I'm a big fan of Saxon James. I have all the audiobooks. This book was a little bit of a letdown. Very angsty in the beginning, without the usual snark I have come to expect from this writer. There are grammar mistakes all over the place and the story is a little underwhelming.
