Wilder

By: Rebecca Yarros

Narrated by: Christian Fox, Lauren Sweet

I'm Paxton Wilder - motocross phenom & adrenaline junkie. I have more tattoos than scars. And I've never seen a stunt I couldn't pull off - or a girl I can't get off. Until she walks in. My new tutor is sexy, smart, more stubborn than I am, and 100 percent off limits.

That's right - the only rule this semester is "Don't Touch the Tutor". For the first time in my life, I want someone I can't have. She's the girl who obeys every rule. I'm the guy who breaks them. Our biggest risk is falling for each other, but I live for risk...

Each book in the Renegades series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order. Series Order:

Love!! 🖤

I love reading a Rebecca Yarros book, especially a series, knowing that I will not be able to let it go and then listening to the book(s) and falling in love with them all over again! And Audiobooks are just so cool & so fun! I love enjoying my favorite books in both worlds! Anyways, I absolutely loved this! The narrators were perfect & the story was exciting, of course! I was totally engrossed in it & I loved how the narrators brought these 2 characters that I love, to life! This is the first time I have listened to Christian Fox narrate and just WOW. ❤️👏🏼🙌🏼 So perfect for Paxton who is, also, just WOW. 🖤 I will definitely be searching for more of his books. 😊

Familiar Storyline

The narrators did a solid job. The storyline seemed predictable based on other books by Yarros. Different setting but similar to another series.

Kisses Sizzle but Plot Fizzles

Wilder kicks off Rebecca Yarros' Renegade series with a sweet romance that has its share of flaws. While the overall story is enjoyable, the excessive descriptions of "dirty kisses" become repetitive, leaving you feeling like ok ok enough already.

The secret Paxton keeps from Leah is understandable, but its revelation feels about as well-explained as quantum physics to a toddler.

Despite these shortcomings, the book has its charms. The character development, particularly Leah's journey from wallflower to wonder woman, is noteworthy. However, the pacing issues and somewhat clumsy handling of the central conflict prevent Wilder from reaching its full potential. Fans of new adult romance may still find it an entertaining read, but be prepared for some frustrating moments and plot holes big enough to drive a truck through.

the hole thing

great book keep me listening the whole time. I loved the love story. keep me interested the whole entire time. I was reading it and listening to it.

Exciting young adult book

Great book for young adults. Details a adrenaline fueled story. Overcoming tragedy, fear and falling in love.

Fun story

This was a fun story! It has a new scene and great cast of characters. She builds the story and characters well, great pace a mood. It’s a classic trope but told in a fresh way that was fun and enjoyable. I really appreciated that the story moved along and the main characters didn’t get bogged down with internal dialogue and perseverating on BS. The tension building was excellent between the main characters. I figured out the side story fairly early which was a bummer for me, so that was a bit predictable. The female narrator was ok. She has a great range of voices, however the voice of the main character was very nasally and my least liked voice style. The male narrator was good.

Hits you with all the feels

This is one of those stories that definitely hits you with all the feels. There was plenty of action, a sexy and swoony Hero, a smart and strong heroine and a bit of mystery.
It is a great start to a series where you can’t help wanting to know more about all the supporting characters.
I listened to most of this on audiobook and really enjoyed the narration.
-4 Stars!-

Love it

At first I was like oh man not another girl falling in love once she laid eyes on him….. but no way this was so much more so much more.

Loved the plot twist

Love Rebecca and all of her books
This is a great series and another adventure series that had me captivated from the beginning.

Quick read!

It is so interesting when you read a book and have certain feelings about it then go to book club and feel something totally different! This was for sure the case with this book.

I really enjoyed this one, it kept my attention and I couldn’t wait to find out the mysteries that were developing during the story. I really like when an author can incorporate additional depth like that especially in a romance.

I enjoyed Leah’s backstory and her commitment to her studies though some of the trip seemed a little unbelievable. Her relationship with Wilder seemed a little insta-love, I still liked them together.

I definitely want to continue on to read about the rest of the Renegades!
