About this listen

One is new to love.
One is bad at love.
One denies love.

Twenty-one-year-old, foul-mouthed Olympian Sullivan Meadows just made a huge mistake. She told her bodyguards - her buddies, her pals - they could take her virginity. Words forever engrained in her brain.

And theirs.

Akara Kitsuwon and Banks Moretti are best friends, sworn to protect each other and their client Sullivan. But upon hearing her confession, their reactions aren’t what Sulli expects.

They’re all friends anyway.

Just friends.

Solid, good friends.

Right?

As the three embark on the road to Yellowstone, tension builds and close quarters leave no secrets behind. Feelings for her childhood friendship with Akara - that teasing, flirty leader - grow hotter, but so do her feelings for Banks, the rugged, heart-melting Marine.

While Sulli is out west to free-solo her dad’s old climbing routes, the only true destination the three of them are certain of is Yellowstone.

Love and romance are totally up in the air.

The story we were waiting for...

Krista and Becca continue to weave magic on pages/audible. I love the Like Us world. Silly’s story is amazing and very much reminiscent of her mother and father’s story, yet completely different. I can’t wait for the next part of this family saga.

Great ...but reservations

4.5 stars!
Obviously, since this is book no. 8 in a series and I’m still here for it, I’m a dedicated fan.
And the narration was overall very good. The narrator that did Akara had a tendency to sound overly dramatic at times, but is was still ok.

However, I have reservations. So, so, so many reservations.
But first, the good things.

Apart from high-quality everything (writing, story-telling, world-building, characters and yada yada), what I most adore about the series and this book, is the way fame is depicted. It’s not glitz and glamour, private jets and extravagant living which is pretty much standard in every other “millionaire story”. Although – obviously – the famous ones are financially independent. No, instead it’s all the negative aspects of fame. The lack of privacy. The media and paparazzi. The inability to go out in public without being faced with strangers who act like jerks, thinking they have the right to Sully in this case. A right to say whatever to her as if she wasn’t a person. That because she’s famous, basic human decency is forgotten and they have the right to heckle and assault.
It’s bloody brilliant.

But, now to the main two sources of my conflicted feelings about Wild Like Us.

First, the issue of Sully’s virginity. The entire book is totally obsessed about the fact that she hasn’t yet had penetrative s*x. With a person that is. It’s something she talks about, not only with her bodyguards – before they’ve started dating – but her family as well. Even her parents. I mean, really, she’s an adult. That topic of conversation shouldn’t ever come up. And the way they’re talking about it. She’s talking about someone “taking her virginity” this and “taking her virginity” that. It’s like it’s the 17th century or something. I found it embarrassingly antiquated and sexist to be honest.

And then, even though it’s revealed early on that she had used toys in the past, she still bleeds when they finally get it on. I mean, come on! It just made me even more angry. Because of course she has a virginity seal that only a real, live D can penetrate. So antiquated indeed.

Then, the budding relationship between Sully and both Akara and Banks. It’s just so unbalanced. Everything is about Sully. All three of them have their own POVs, but the focus is still entirely on her, and she seems okay with that. Like Akara and Banks are there to serve her, even in the situations that are clearly private and separate from their duties as bodyguards. Sure, those lines are blurry considering they’re her 24-7 security. But still. It makes Sully appear extremely selfish.

Also, since Banks and Akara aren’t interested in each other romantically, the imbalance gets even more pronounced. Because there’s no way around the fact that both of them would have preferred having Sully for themselves if only they could do so without hurting the other. So they compromise in order to have her. Only Sully gets everything. It’s disconcerting in its inequality.
Meaning, in my opinion, the story would have been waaay better if all three of them were actually involved with the other two in a romantic capacity.

When I’m re-reading what I’ve just wrote it’s kind of difficult to understand why I even liked this story. Because I did- I was completely swept away, and I’ve already started on the sequel Fearless Like Us. Guess I’m just complex like that. 😉

Because despite everything, I can only say: Highly recommend!

Chefs kiss 🤌🏼❣️

Fantastic narrators 10/10 !!

I’m just going to say this; your judgment of the “spice scenes” is not needed. Like.. if you came her thinking this was going to be a dark romance then you lied to yourself because this is not that kind of book and you should have read up on it. Especially if your have particular likes in books.

Second- it was not boring.

This book is what it is advertised as -

LOVED

OH MY FREAKING GOD!
Cliffhanger MUCH?!!!
I am so in love with Banks, Akara, and Sulli together. The way their relationship developed and transformed, how even Banks and Akara’s relationship deepened and grew. Sulli’s inexperience but also her strength and tenacity was admirable. Seeing her grown into a confident and assertive woman was simply wonderful.
I will not get over the cliffhanger, but May is just around the corner, I won’t be waiting for the audio, I need the book ASAP! Plus, SEXY!
Also, Beck is perfect, and Luna and Paul need their book as soon as possible!
Loved loved loved!

We finally get Sulli!

I’ve been dying for Sulli’s book from the moment the Like Us series started. We knew she was in love with her bodyguard Akara, but then Krista & Becca Ritchie put a little twist to their romance and made it poly!

First, the audio was fantastic. I loved all 3 of the narrators and they voiced Sulli, Akara, and Banks’ characters wonderfully. Second, I enjoyed this poly romance so much! It definitely felt more like a “love triangle” for most of the book, think “The Bachelorette” style, but by the end of WLU you can definitely feel the love between all 3 of our characters. Sulli is an awesome heroine and more than able to handle 2 men in her life. I loved seeing her relationship with her parents (Raisy!) and was just overall happy to be inside her head.

The romance is a bit slow, with all of them trying to navigate their feelings and believing that Sulli could only choose 1 man at the end. There is still a lot more of the story to explore and I can’t wait to see where KBR will take us next with this triad.

Three POVs and Three perfect narrators

I was amazed with how great this audiobook was. I have come to expect great audiobooks from the Like Us series, and Maximoff and Farrows books were my favorite.

Until now.

I had already read the book, but was super excited to hear the audiobook performance and I was blown away. These three did such an amazing bringing this story to life. I can't say enough good things about it.

There aren't many series that I consistently read the ebook and listen to the audio for every book. This is one that I always get both and it is 100000% worth it.
