Story
The day I left Wilder Valley, I swore I’d never return. My dreams were too big for this small town, and I was determined to make it in LA, even if that meant leaving behind the man I loved. Now I’m back, brokenhearted and publicly humiliated after a colossal breakup live-streamed to the masses. I have no career or money to show for my 23 years away. If I could hide out anywhere else on the planet, I would. Instead, I resort to taking the only job in town. A nanny gig for my high school sweetheart.

Commitment was never my thing. But I've been directionless for far too long. It's time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend's brother at a bachelor auction didn't help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn't stop me. Because now I'm in way over my head. And I'm afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love

Story
I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant. The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

And in a small town, on an even smaller farm, it's hard to keep your distance. It's even harder to keep that friction from turning to fire. But keeping my distance? That might be the biggest struggle of all.

Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. I spend my free time with my daughter, Bella—reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old. But I’m okay with that, because she is my whole world. After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then, all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter.

Marrying Beckett Coleman is the best idea I've had in years. I can grant my sick dad’s wish to walk one of his daughters down the aisle, and Beckett has my help solving a custody situation with his daughter. Our plan is to spend a year together, then part ways. Easy, especially since I'm not his type, and he's not mine either. He’s too quiet and too serious. And while he’s distractingly gorgeous, he’s also my brother’s teammate. Beckett is fake husband material, not the real deal. I just have to remember that.

While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.

Publisher's summary
I've loved Maeve Wilder my whole life.
She's never seen me as more than a friend but that's my fault. By the time I was brave enough to confess my feelings, I was too late.
She met the man she would marry and it wasn't me. I missed my chance.
Now we're in our thirties, still the best of friends, and I've made peace with the fact my unrequited love will never amount to more than a wild crush. Mostly.
But when her husband walks out—leaving her to raise their three children alone, I'm the one who is there to pick up the pieces.
Each night I fall asleep on her sofa, longing for her to see me as more than a friend. When she does, it changes everything.
My heart belongs to hers, it always has. But when reality comes crashing down, will the life we've built over the last few months be enough for her to choose a forever with me?
Wild Crush is a small town, single mom, unrequited love, best friends to lovers, steamy romance in the Wilder Valley series by USA Today Bestselling Author Kacey Shea. This book can be enjoyed as a standalone or start with Wild Hearts.

Now I’m back, brokenhearted and publicly humiliated after a colossal breakup live-streamed to the masses. I have no career or money to show for my 23 years away. If I could hide out anywhere else on the planet, I would. Instead, I resort to taking the only job in town. A nanny gig for my high school sweetheart.

Commitment was never my thing. But I've been directionless for far too long. It's time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend's brother at a bachelor auction didn't help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn't stop me. Because now I'm in way over my head. And I'm afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love

The day I left Wilder Valley, I swore I’d never return. My dreams were too big for this small town, and I was determined to make it in LA, even if that meant leaving behind the man I loved. Now I’m back, brokenhearted and publicly humiliated after a colossal breakup live-streamed to the masses. I have no career or money to show for my 23 years away. If I could hide out anywhere else on the planet, I would. Instead, I resort to taking the only job in town. A nanny gig for my high school sweetheart.

Story
As an author, words have always been my escape. In my mind, I've lived the many versions of happily ever afters I've written for the world to listen to. I've created swoon-worthy men who would do anything for the women they love. The worlds I've created have left women wishing the stories I've penned were real. Yet my life outside the pages is void of romance and dictated by fear—something I have in abundance while my trust is scarce. I'm terrified of the horrors that could break me and avoid them at all costs. But he found me anyway.

Best friends to lovers!
I have been looking to Maeve getting a book since we could tell things were rocky in previous books. And when Maeve finds herself separating from her husband, life starts to brighten for her best friend Rainer who has been in love with her for years.
💛Small town romance
💛Best friends to lovers
💛It’s always been you
💛Cinnamon roll MMC
💛Surprise pregnancy
When Maeve’s husband leaves, Rainer immediately steps in to be THE person for her. He helps keep her together when her life seems to be falling apart.
And during that time, things seemingly switch from best friends to lovers real quick for them. You would have thought that they were together for years based on their chemistry and the domesticity between them.
But all can’t be that easy for them; can it?
Rainer is literal perfection. Everyone deserves a Rainer in their life and I will die on that hill for him. He is one of my favorites from this series.
Now Maeve - I resonated and emphasized with her difficult situation. However, some of her decisions made me want to shake her and ask her what she is thinking?! I don’t want to spoil anything, so I’m going to leave that vague.
Erin Mallon and Robert Hatchet were fantastic in this! Rob always has this way about him and the dirty talking was spicy with his voice! Erin Mallon was perfect as Maeve, especially in her most vulnerable times. The narration pairing for this one couldn’t have been better matched!
Cannot wait to read Jackson’s falling in love next!

A feast of bountiful and profound .....
Shea delves deep into the well of emotion, that we call a heart and exposes the soul. From the pain of loss to the beauty of love, Wild Crush mixes the fragility and empowerment of a feeling that is often times taken for granted. A feast of bountiful and profound, that sticks to the soul.

An emotionally intense journey filled with feels
Rainer and Maeve really take you on an emotionally intense journey that is jam-packed with feels. My heart ached viciously as I enjoyed this romance. Rainer was truly an incredible book boyfriend. He was so sweet, kind and generous. He totally stole my heart and made me swoon. As for Maeve, I thought she was a very genuine, relatable character but I must admit that I found her frustrating. I thought that the narration on this book was wonderful. Both performances were well done, and I felt the voices fit the characters well.

Friends to lovers
We have been teased with Maeve and Rainer since book one of this series and I couldn't wait for this author to give them their story. Rainer has had a crush on Maeve for years but he missed his chance way back to express his feelings and she married another man. He isn't a good man and Rainer knows that so he is there for her as a best friend. When things change and he steps in to help her and her kids will they finally get their happily ever after or will he lose her again? No spoilers!
I love this series and this book was so good. There are lots of emotions but this author always delivers those. I love this small town and the people that live there. I felt as though I was on this journey with them. This is book four of the series but each book stands alone.
Erin Mallon and Robert Hatchet narrate this book and they both deliver. They bring the feels. I loved it and recommend this book.

Friends to More
This was a Wilder romance that kind of lacked the other Wilder siblings… but I think that just showcased how alone Maeve was. I felt for Maeve, her life was her family and yet it wasn’t good enough for her husband. It was pretty obvious how worthless her husband was after Rainer moved in and I like that it opened her eyes to how a true partnership should be. Without giving anything away, she made me extremely mad there towards the end and honestly I don’t know if I wanted Rainer to forgive her but he’s a better person than me because he staid by her side for everything. Erin Mallon and Robert Hatchet did a great job narrating.

Good Story
Ok I think I was expecting more from this for some reason. I mean I loved the story but felt it just seemed to quit at the ending. I was expecting more strife from the ex husband situation or even some resolution from Pop. Some of the situation with Alex was glossed over in the Epilogue..but I just find it odd he is being so gracious to Maeve and Rainier. I know the story is about the new relationship between the two MC and that has tragic and lovely elements.
Overall this is just an okay listen for me. I liked the characters but felt something was missing especially near the end.
I listened to this on audio. Erin Mallon and Robert Hatchet are the narrators. They both are pleasant to listen to did an excellent job portraying their characters. Perfect choices!

Wonderful Story & Narration🎧Riveting & Heartfelt!
Wilder Valley has become one of my favorite places to spend time in, and the Wilders become some of my favorite characters, so it is great to be back there for another fabulous romance novel, a beautifully heartfelt story of a newly single mom, Maeve Wilder, and her best friend, Rainer who has been her rock and by her side threw thick and thin. Rainer and Maeve have been friends for years, but his feelings morphed into more, and he was ready to tell her such but was too late because she had already met someone, the man she wound up marrying, Adam. Rainer never got over his love for her or moved on with anyone else, it was only her and he was happy to have her in his life as a friend. They are both in their thirties now, she is a mother of three young children and her husband’s job takes him away for days, sometimes weeks at a time and she is struggling at doing it all. Thankfully, she has good friends who help, including Rainer, though she wished her own husband would help more. When he comes home, he expects to be waited on and gets an attitude if otherwise, puts her down and she has finally had enough and lashes out at him for how he treats her. So what does he do? He walks out on her and the kids, leaving her broken and in despair. Rainer is there for her, helps with the kids and the household and gives her time to get through her grief. Rainer is truly a sweetheart, the kind of person we all need in our lives - so thoughtful, considerate, and amazing with the kids.
My heart broke for Maeve, a husband who was not willing to fight for her and their kids, but it was great that she had Rainer and to watch her pick herself up and dust herself off and start living again. I would like to say that this is my favorite book in the series, but that would not be fair to the others since each one is just as amazing as the other and I recommend them all. As always, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. The story has a perfect balance of drama, a touch of angst, lots of heartfelt emotions, and a meant-to-be romance, years overdue. Kacey Shea, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Erin Mallon and Robert Hatchet were an absolute delight to listen to, and they did an exceptional job bringing these characters to life and their portrayal of them was spot on, giving each a voice that was fitting, while grasping every aspect of their personality. Hatchet as Rainer was swoon worthy perfection and Mallon nailed it as Maeve, and both were equally amazing performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two make a great narration team, their voices complement each other’s and their performance elevates the already wonderful story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Fantastic story with amazing narration
Another amazing book from Kacey! Erin Mallon and Robert Hatchet deliver a phenomenal performance. They brought the characters to life by giving them perfect voice, emotion and personality. I love how narrators give readers/listeners a whole new experience to enjoying an authors words. Reiner is the perfect man…he is so kind, gentle, protective and soooo in love with Maeve. But he never crosses the line….until the appropriate time. Maeve is a hot mess and needs a break…she’s doing her best but is at a breaking point. She’s gets some help after her husband leaves but it’s from a very unexpected person. Reiner and Maeve are such a beautiful couple…I love how Kacey writes their friendship…and how they grow towards one another. A really beautiful love story between two people who deserve happiness. Looking forward to the next book in the series….they’ve all been fantastic!

Beautiful story with excellent narration!
I've been excited to get Maeve's story after getting to know most of her brothers, and although it was a bit of a rocky road, it was wonderful to see her get her happily ever after with the one person in the world who truly loved her unconditionally...and no, it wasn't her husband.
Reiner...this man has a heart of gold and has loved Maeve for as long as he can remember. He's stayed a part of her life, even when she met her husband because she's always been his best friend and he wanted to stay in her life. When a huge, blow-up fight happens between Maeve and her husband and she tells him to leave, he steps in to help her and take care of her three kids. And slowly, over time...Maeve realizes that there is something there between her and Rainer and decides it's something worth exploring. Rainer treats Maeve how she wants to be treated. He does things and helps without being asked. Seriously, Rainer is almost too perfect, but he also knows his worth too.
There's a moment in the story where I wanted to yell at Maeve because girl, what the heck are you thinking? I somewhat understood why she made that choice at the moment, but I also didn't. But this is the moment where I loved Rainer even more.
And if you get a chance to listen to the audio, do it. Robert Hatchet once again voices the hero, and he was absolutely perfect as Rainer. I could just hear the emotion from him during the moments where it was a bit on the heavier side. And Erin Mallon, she was wonderful also as Maeve. You could tell she tapped into her motherly side, because how could she not? Those emotions also came through loud and clear when it was Maeve's POV, and it was one of my favorite narrations of hers.

Loved this friends to lovers romance!
This is a friends to lovers romance at its absolute best! Maeve and Rainer have been best friends since they were young. Rainer missed his chance to tell Maeve that he wanted to be more than friends, when she left for college. Even tho she met and married someone else, Rainer stayed in her life. Now years later, her marriage is falling apart, she raising three young children on her own, and she is exhausted. Rainer steps in and helps her with her kids, her house, and herself. Rainer helps Maeve rediscover the woman she was always meant to be. The kids love him, and he loves them as well. As Maeve becomes stronger and feeling more independent, she realizes that her feelings for Rainer run much deeper than friends. Just when Rainer thinks he is finally having his dream, something happens that could take it away for good. This is such a beautiful, sweet, heartfelt and sizzling love story. I fell so hard for Rainer, and Maeve and could really feel the love between them right away. I also loved her children and the sweet family they were building together. But hands down, Rainer is the best part of this book. While I love watching Maeve's growth, along with feeling the deep connection between these two, it’s all strengthened by this genuinely good, thoughtful, caring, compassionate, and completely lovable man. He was so patient with Maeve and with all the complications in their lives. I also loved seeing all the Wilder family and friends who gives this story even more heart.
The excellent voice acting by Erin Mallon, and Robert Hatchet was completely mesmerizing. They easily capture and project the essence of each character, including the children, so vividly. I am always excited to listen to both Mallon and Hatchet, and they definitely brought this beautiful story to life with stellar, and moving performances!
I love this series so much, and I can't wait for more from Wilder Valley!
