Passion as hot as midnight in the South and love as wild as the horses they tame.
Camille “Cami” Hines is the darling daughter of the South’s champion thoroughbred breeder, Jack Hines. She has a pedigree that rivals some of her father’s best horses. Other than feeling a little suffocated at times, Cami thought she was pretty happy with her boyfriend, her life and her future.
But that was before she met Patrick Henley.
“Trick” blurs the lines between what Cami wants and what is expected of her. He’s considered the “help,” which is forbidden fruit as far as her father is concerned, not to mention that Trick would be fired if he ever laid a hand on her. And Trick needs his job. Desperately. His family depends on him.
The heart wants what the heart wants, though, and Trick and Cami are drawn to each other despite the obstacles. At least the ones they know of.
When Trick stumbles upon a note from his father, it triggers a series of revelations that could ruin what he and Cami have worked so hard to overcome. It turns out there’s more to Trick’s presence at the ranch than either of them knew, secrets that could tear them apart.

My Thoughts:
Whenever I finish a book written by Michelle Leighton I always gush about how awesome the book is, how amazing her writing is, the wonderful characters who are so real because of their flaws and hang ups, the amazingly swoon worthy males that she always writes and her ability to portray heat and passion between her characters. Well guess what? Nothing is gong to change!! I'm about to do the exact same thing for The Wild Ones!!!
This was another one sitting read from M. Leighton, simply because it was so good I just couldn't put it down. From the minute that Cami and Trick meet at Lucky's bar the heat and passion between them had the pages sizzling!! They have a magnetic pull towards each other, but Cami has a boyfriend and a somewhat overbearing and protective father, who just so happens to be Trick's boss. And Trick needs to keep his job, so starting something with Cami may not be in his best interests. But attraction is a mighty hard thing to fight. But just when things look to be going right for the two of them, secrets will be revealed and will put their love to the test.
I loved Cami and Trick!! Cami was so sweet and caring. Seemingly always trying to do right by others. And Trick was just... WOW!!! He has looks. He is confident and self assured. He is loving. He is passionate. He has made sacrifices for his family. He is just a walking, talking ball of delicious, sexual hotness!!!
“Trick looks up and his eyes meet mine. I am a deer caught in the headlights. I am a girl charmed by the cobra. I am breathless and mesmerized. And then he grins. Just like that, I'm his. Whether he knows it or not.”
But it wasn't just the two main characters who were so wonderful. I adored Cami's relationship with the housekeeper. They had a wonderful closeness. And Cami and Trick's best friends... I would definitely love more of them!!
The Wild Ones is a book which will have you falling in love, and riding a whole wave of emotions. But it is a book that will have you rooting for the characters from start to finish!!
