About this listen

The darling daughter of a champion Thoroughbred breeder, Camille "Cami" Hines has a pedigree that rivals some of her father’s best horses. Other than feeling a little suffocated at times, Cami thought she was happy with her boyfriend, her life, and her future - until she met Patrick Henley.

"Trick" blurs the lines between what Cami wants and what is expected of her - and he just happens to be so sexy she can’t keep her hands off him. While they both know that Trick will lose his much-needed job on the ranch if anyone finds out, they can’t resist the lure of their scorchingly hot encounters.

But 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, and secrets with the power to tear them apart.…

Good but far from great

I bought this book based on the many rave reviews and was a little disappointed. I did enjoy the characters but was disappointed in the love/kissing scenes.I felt they weren't passionate enough to get me fully involved in the story and were over before they started. Don't get me wrong...I'm not looking for smut, but a little more detail would have been nice. These were consenting adults and the scenes were very PG. I also felt like the ending was rushed. There was never any mention of Trick's mum and how she felt about them getting together. I would recommend this book for a young adult reader but not for someone looking for something a little steamier.

It's just like chocolate

It has no nutritional value whatsoever but it’s oh so sweet and satisfying.
If you enjoy a simple and sweet romance book then this one is for you. I enjoyed the buildup between the two main characters and the overall story was a very easy listen. I wasn't sure if I’d like the dual narrators but it really worked nicely.

I thought this was a credit worthy listen, but for $7.34 why bother? Just buy the book.

AHHHH LOVELY JUST LOVELY

If you're looking for a sweet, tender, heartbreaking romance that's filled with great characters (including a handsome hunky ranch-hand) that are all involved in a touching plot that the author describes in such detail that you mentally picture each chapter and laugh, scream, cry and sigh with them - then look no further because this is your book.

I'm never too sure of a double-narration but this worked - Amy McFadden was just ok but Nick Podehl was just yummy. Not explicit or very descriptive sex scenes.

Worth a credit? Well YES it definitely would have been, but it's on sale (at the moment) which is even better (so what have you got to loose?) even at $7.34 it's worth the money.

Great story! Narration so great you were there!

This was an awesome performance by Nick Podehl and Amy McFadden! It felt like you were there at a theatre performance without the actual visual. Great story and stellar narration
Very impressive!

Stayed up all night listening to The Wild Ones

What made the experience of listening to The Wild Ones the most enjoyable?

Listening to both the main characters thoughts gets you hooked to the book and the double-narration performance made it even better.

What about Nick Podehl and Amy McFadden ’s performance did you like?

I think that the narrator's performance is what makes listening to an audio book better than reading the actual book and in this book Amy McFadden voice and accent were perfect and she brought the character to life but Nick Podehl has this charm that makes the character irresistible.

I will be looking for other books narrated by Amy McFadden or Nick Podehl.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was grinning through out the book with some tears here and there.

At first i found this book quite childish but the story picked up and i found myself enjoying it. The doable narrators were great. It's a nice light romance :)

Intense

This book gets pretty intense.. It's almost like a Romeo and Juliet, except Trix and Cami fall.In love before the big secret is revealed. You will definitely blush, cry, and get angry along with the characters. The book is well written and the narrator's did an excellent job.

Fluffy fluff

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I guess so. I don't think the story was innovative or particularly engaging but it was fairly entertaining. This novel was full of tension and angst and I don't really appreciate plots that rely on misunderstanding after misunderstanding. I understand most plots aren't believable but the reactions of the characters to certain developments I found to be incredibly unrealistic. Sometimes the characters seemed mature, sexually anyway, and at other times they seemed almost childlike.

If you’ve listened to books by M. Leighton before, how does this one compare?

Not applicable

Which scene was your favorite?

I enjoyed the trip they all took together. I do have this question, it is very hard to answer without spoiling anything.


Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No but I did tell myself five more minutes several times.

Any additional comments?

The narrators saved this book from being a disaster for me. I find it difficult to listen to a book with two narrators because I find myself thinking about who reads better instead of listening closely but I loved them both, they really complimented each other. I'm not sure if this book is worth the credit I spent on it. If you find this book on sale, go ahead and get it but if not I would wait on this one.

The narrators' southern accents are awful!

What did you like best about The Wild Ones? What did you like least?

The story was fine, but the fake southern accents of the narrators were so distracting and frustrating. Turned me off!

Cute, lightweight, romance

This was a cute little romance. Overall, it's an easy weekend listen about young love, betrayal, and the fallout from poor decisions. The narration was mediocre at points---sometimes their 'southern' or 'country' accents were a bit forced, but it didn't take too much away from the story. Compared to the other books by M. Leighton, this was significantly more tame. I enjoyed it and will probably get the other two in the series. I wouldn't say this is credit worthy, but definitely worth buying if on sale.
