I loved Tonya Burrows' s Wilde Nights in Paradise (Wilde Security #1) so I was excited to hear we'd be getting another Wilde Security novel! Wilde for Her is Camden and Eva's story and I loved it! As part of this tour stop I have my review, an exclusive excerpt, as well as a giveaway!
Publication Date: October 28th 2013 by Entangled: Brazen
About the book:
Friends with
benefits just got hotter.
Former homicide
detective Camden Wilde has been in love with his ex-partner, Eva Cardoso, for
longer than he cares to admit. Not that it matters. She’s shoved him into the
friend zone, and after living through the hell of his parents’ violent deaths,
Cam’s unable to give her the idyllic life she secretly desires.
Eva’s never met a
person who hasn’t let her down. Cam may be sex personified, but he’s the only
man she can trust, and there’s no way she’ll risk their friendship on the
off-chance they could be more. Especially not after the one scintillating night
she’s trying—and failing—to forget.
When a
murder-for-hire contract on his head lands Eva on his doorstep, Cam knows it’s
time to put up or shut up. He’s done biding his time, and he’ll be damned if he
lets the delectable detective ignore what’s between them, no matter the cost.
My Thoughts:
I loved Wilde for Her! Long-time friends who’ve secretly
been longing for each other? Check. Uncontrollable lust and mega-HOT scenes?!!
Double check. A little romantic angst, and
a mystery infused with danger? Now we’re talking about everything I love in a
romantic suspense novel! You ticked all
the boxes, Tonya!
Camden Wilde quit the D.C. force to work for his brother’s
security business Wilde Security, but that hasn’t cut his ties with his best
friend and former partner, Eva Cardoso.
Trouble is he’s longed for Eva their whole time together, but never wanted
to risk ruining their friendship. Add to
that, she was seriously dating a college mate for the last two years, so it was
out of the question. Things are about to
change in a big way when Cam and Eva get drunk on his brother’s destination
wedding trip and lines are crossed!
She threw her head back against the door and groaned his name. His name. A roar of triumph filled his head.
Maybe even rumbled from his throat. He didn’t give a damn. Eva was calling his
name. Finally.
Before the night was over, he planned to know every square inch of Eva
Cardoso’s body by heart.
Eva is freaked out about her night with Cam. She doesn’t do
one-night stands, but she knows that Cam isn’t interested in anything more, he’s
said that over and over through the years.
Plus, he’s her best friend, and she doesn’t want to lose him if things
don’t work out. But mind and body do not
always agree and Eva’s can’t fight what she’s secretly longed for, for ages.
I love friendships that evolve into passionate romance! Attraction that starts from a deep connection
and closeness are often fiery HOT and
Cam and Eva’s was combustible! I wanted
to smack both Eva and Cam upside the head a few times for denying their true
feelings! Fortunately, it didn’t have to
come to that because these two come to their senses leaving me blissed-out-happy!
Being that this is a Wilde
Security novel you know a bit of mystery and danger is involved. Cam has found out there’s a price on his head
and he needs to track down the killer.
Of course the Wilde Brothers are on high alert and full on protective
mode when they hear the news. I did have my suspicions early on but it was
exciting to see it all unfold!
I fell in love with these Wilde men a little more after
finishing this installment! Hot, dangerous,
overly protective males, what’s not
to love?! There were glimpses of romance
drama for Vaughn and Reece, and Greer has me worried, so I wonder which brother
will get his story next? Tonya Burrows
continues to enthrall and excite me with her addictive stories, so I can’t wait
for the next one!

Excerpt:
She peeked through the peep hole. Cam. Relaxing, she opened
the door. “Hey, you scared the shit outta me. What—”
He didn’t let her finish. He stepped toward her, cupped a
hand around the back of her neck, and pulled her lips to his, swallowing her
gasp of surprise. His mouth tasted of minty toothpaste, and his hair was
soaked, the spiky dark strands dripping down his back and shoulders as if he
hadn’t bothered to dry off after a shower. He still wore the outrageous
Hawaiian shirt, but it was unbuttoned, thrown back on as an afterthought. His
shorts hung low, highlighting the V of muscle at his hips and doing little to
conceal how very aroused he was.
She should push him away. Hadn’t she already decided this
couldn’t happen between them? It was only going to complicate things and—
He flattened his free hand across the small of her back,
drawing her flush against him, and his erection thrust insistently at her
belly.
“Oh…” Everything
female in her shuddered with pleasure and her mind blanked of all but his
taste, his scent, and a rising tide of anticipation. All such a delicious
reprieve from the emotional turbulence of the evening, and she let herself melt
into his kiss. Her nipples hardened under the silky material of her dress as
she rubbed against his hard body. He maneuvered them far enough into the room
that he was able to kick the door shut, then spun and pressed her back against
the cool metal. His hands roamed under the skirt of her dress, found her ass,
and boosted her up. She locked her legs around his hips. He was giving her the
gift of release and, dammit, she needed it. Needed him. Right here, right now.
“Tell me to stop,” he groaned even as he surged hard against
her, hitting all the right spots despite the maddening layer of his shorts
still between them.
Eva dug her fingers into his scalp and gave his hair a
punishing tug. “Don’t you dare.”
About the Author: Writing has always been my one
true love. I wrote my first novel-length story in 8th grade and haven't
put down my pen since. I received a B.A. in creative writing from SUNY
Oswego and I'm now working on a MFA in popular fiction at Seton Hill
University.
When I'm not writing, I spend my time reading,
painting (badly), exploring new places, and enjoying time with my
family. Give me a good horror movie over a chick flick any day. (And,
let's be honest, I'll take a bad horror movie too!) I'm a geek at heart
and pledge my avid TV fandom to Supernatural and Doctor Who. I'm also a
big fan of The Voice. What can I say? Guilty pleasure.
I share
my life with two dogs and a ginormous cat. I'm from a small town in
Western New York, but I suffer from a bad case of wanderlust and usually
end up moving someplace new every few years. Luckily, my animals are
all excellent travel buddies.
