Cute fake romance gone right Clark and Jessa meet in the wilderness with all of Clark’s siblings after Jessa’s friend is unable to come there.

Sweet moments and steamy hot occasions. Cute lovely romantic read.

Clark and Jessa fake relationship, second chance at love story in Wilder with You by Serena Bell, book three in her Wilder Adventures series, is a wonderful, heartwarming romance about a strong outdoorsman and a wedding planner. Clark Wilder a widow, still grieving for the loss of his wife two years on is an outdoor survival expert, bearded, has muscles for days and is the strong and silent, mysterious type of man. Jessa Olsen, a wedding planner who goes on one of Clark's glamping survival trips. is sweet and understanding but also has a naughty side to her; like so many of the heroines in this series. She is divorced after discovering her ex-cheated on her and wrote a book about it. Neither Clark nor Jessa believe they will find love again, let alone anytime soon. When Jessa’s sees that her ex-husband is on the same trip as her with his new girlfriend, Clark steps up, instead of allowing her to be bullied, Clark steps up, telling everyone he and Jess are together. This fake relationship works not only to keep her ex away but it also keeps Clark’s worried family off his back. Spending time together, to proud their “relationship” is “real” has them growing closer as they unlock their hearts as they learn to love and trust again. Not to mention acting on the magnetic attraction and off-the wall chemistry these two share. Being with Clark gave Jessa’s confidence a boost and allows Clark to realize it was okay to move on from his loss. Ms. Bell included secondary characters, one who was non-binary, non gender specific, and another character, a lesbian, opening up the discussion, acceptance and support of this lifestyle. I admire and respect her for introducing this topic to her reading community. Ms. Bell wrote a wonderful, emotional, and heartwarming story that should not be missed. She provided a tale rich with sizzling chemistry, strong magnetism, family dynamics, clever banter, the magic of love, and endearing characters giving Clark and Jessa a second chance at love, happiness, and a future neither expected. I highly recommend Wilder with You to other readers and look forward to which Wilder gets his story in the next book in the series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

It was an absolutely heartwarming and exciting read that I finished in a few hours over a couple of days. I could hardly stop reading it! I also got the add-on extra and another book of the series. Chefs kiss! A brilliant book!
