About this listen

Hockey is everything. My game, my team—that's all that matters. But an accident during the playoffs leaves me sidelined and puts my future in question.

With my teammates off enjoying their vacations, my only plan this summer is to heal and come back stronger than ever. No distractions. No babysitters. I want to be left alone.

Unfortunately, Everly Kent has never cared about what I want or need.

She barges in like a storm. Stubborn, sassy, beautiful. I don't want her in my space, but she's determined to take care of me.

Before I know it, she's under my skin in the best way possible and I'm bending all my rules for her.

Including one I never thought I'd break: falling for my teammate's little sister.

Forever Wild is the book I’ve been waiting for since the Wildcats series began and it was so worth the wait. Jack and Everly are pure perfection!! I couldn’t get enough of their push and pull relationship and how well they complemented each other.

Everly has always been a spitfire who isn’t afraid to speak her mind and stand up for herself while Jack is the grumpy hockey player who she always spars with. Newly graduated, she’s trying to find her path in life without disappointing those she cares about. With everyone gone for summer, she finds herself spending time with an injured Jack and the more time they spend with each other, the more the sparks begin to fly.

The audio was narrated by Sebastian York and CJ Bloom. They were perfection as Jack and Everly. Sebastian’s deep, growly voice was so good for the grumpy Jack and CJ showcased all of Everly’s sass and feistiness. I had so much fun listening to their performance, and I think it made me love the story even more.

Jack and Everly were so much fun. Their banter was full of electricity and the tension between them was explosive. I loved watching them become vulnerable with each other and really becoming friends. Both grew so much throughout the story and Everly really came into to her own and figured out what she needed in her life. With Everly’s help, Jack learned that there was more to life than hockey. These two are absolutely perfect for each other and I loved watching their relationship develop. I’m so sad to say goodbye to the Wildcats, but I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next.

FINALLY Jack and Everly=Perfection

This is the 5th book of the series. While you can listen to it solo I’d recommend doing the whole series as it’s really cute to hear the progress of the characters

I put off listening to the last of the Wildcats series because I truly did not know if I could handle it ending… welp, I finally finished listening and I am sobbing!!!
Rebecca did such an incredible job with ending this series in the best way possible! I was so worried that Everly being so young in the previous books may make her relationship with Jack weird but the age gap and friends (frenemies) to lovers WORKED 👏🏻
I laughed, swooned, cried, and fell for this found family even more!!! I 1000% recommend this series 🤩

I LOVE the Wildcats and this story was just an incredible ending to this series!! He’s the grumpy and protective captain of the hockey team and she is the sassy little sister of his teammate. Their story was emotional and sweet but also so playful and sexy! You also get all the found family moments incorporated into their story which was so heartwarming to see as they have all been a big part of both of their lives in the series. The whole book was just a perfect culmination to the Wildcat Hockey series and the added glimpses of those Wildcat babies made it even sweeter!

Jack is the captain of the hockey team and gets in an accident at the end of the season that leaves him injured, but he doesn’t want help recovering. Everly just graduated college and is house sitting for the summer, so when everyone leaves town she is asked to check on him. Despite his resistance she is feisty and ends up at his house every day as he has the best pool in town….

AUDIO REVIEW:
The audiobook for this one is a dual narration by Sebastian York and CJ Bloom. Their performance was SO fantastic as Jack & Everly that I ended up listening to it twice in a row! Their voices showcased the tension and chemistry between Jack and Everly while capturing their personalities perfectly! This is one you want to listen to on audio to experience this story even more!

I will say that at first I was worried Sebastian’s voice would be too low to fit Jack’s character I envisioned the whole series, BUT he proved me wrong!!!! His deep voice showcased Jack’s age as an older athlete while also capturing his grumpy demeanor due to an injury. Then there is CJ Bloom whose light, upbeat tone brought out the vibrant personality of Everly. She even has that younger, yet mature tone to her voice that helped to solidify their age gap in the audio. Her voice is so pleasing to listen while also bringing out Everly’s sass which was the perfect pushback for all of Sebastian’s grouchy banter as Jack with her! Overall, Sebastian and CJ brought the final book of this series to LIFE!!

An outstanding performance on audio that elevates this final story of the Wildcats hockey series!

This is the fifth installment in the Wildcat Hockey series, but it works beautifully as a standalone. I absolutely adored Everly and Jack’s story! Everly is the perfect spark to reignite Jack’s happiness. As the sister of Jack’s teammate, she steps in to help him after an accident, even though he’s reluctant to accept any help. Her persistence pays off, and as they spend more time together, their undeniable chemistry takes center stage. Jack slowly opens up, finding comfort in Everly’s warmth and unwavering support. Everly’s sunny disposition and selfless nature are genuinely heartwarming. The narrators do a fantastic job capturing Jack and Everly’s distinct personalities, highlighting their differences with great skill. If you’re looking for a hockey romance with the perfect mix of spice and heartfelt moments, this book is a must listen!

This is a great story! I have been dying to find out what happened with Jack. He is such a grouchy but lovable character. Evelyn’s personality is the obvious counterbalance! I like this serious and love the narration! Great story.

Love the collision of two stubborn souls!

Yet another fantastic hockey romance in this series, Forever Wild is heartfelt but spicy. This is Jack and Everly's book, and it all starts with Jack recuperating from injuries he suffered in a car accident. He's become a bit of a grumpy recluse, and Everly winds up checking in on him...and using his pool. His coolness toward Everly turns into friendship and then more as the summer goes on, but can these two make it work?

I adored how Jack and Everly's relationship evolved. The way the book starts with him being such a curmudgeon and her not at all putting up with his attitude was exactly what I wanted, and I smiled so much throughout the story. She might be his teammate's little sister and years younger than him, but she's not going to just accept his unpleasantness. And I loved seeing this new side of Jack. He's so much more complex than I thought he was, and his backstory might be one of my favorites for a MMC by Jenshak. His character showed such dimension, and I love that we finally got his story. And Everly is utterly relatable in so many ways, and I think her being paired with Jack was simply great. Together, their banter is so good, and I feel like their characters brought out the best in each other in a lot of ways in the end, but the dramatic touches that also went on made this book a hard one to put down.

And I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook version, and it's so wonderfully narrated. Sebastian York and CJ Bloom are two of my favorites, and the way they portray Jack and Everly is seriously perfect. Their casting was spot on, and they both were able to bring the characters to life and really make me get lost in this romance.

So, if you love hockey romances, then you're definitely going to want to give Forever Wild a read/listen. It's got steam and romance but with just the right amount of tension, and I recommend it.
