The Wilde boys are back! Very highly recommended

For her thirtieth birthday Ashley St. Claire makes an erotic and provocative wish. After three years, for one night, she wants to walk on the wild side. So she trades her designer suits for a short skirt and heads to a bar on the outskirts of Chicago. There she meets Scott Wilde, the bachelor who agrees to make her fantasies a reality. But she introduces herself as "Just Ashley" and after a fantastic night together, slips out in the morning without leaving a clue to her identity. She has been burned one too many times for being one of the St. Claires of the wealthy family that owns a five star hotel chain.Scott cannot forget the girl who rocked his world. While Ashley is obviously a good girl, her eagerness to be bad for a night proves absolutely irresistible. When she disappears without a trace the next morning, Scott cannot help feeling intensely disappointed. So when she calls a few days later, he eagerly welcomes an opportunity to talk. But he has already been burned once by a woman who kept secrets, and he is desperate to know Ashley's true identity. It will take more than a wild ride between the sheets to convince Ashley to give him a real chance.Readers have come to expect excellence from author Janelle Denison, and once again she delivers with THE WILDE SIDE. A provocatively sexy read that readers will find impossible to put down, THE WILDE SIDE strikes the perfect balance between sensuality, erotica and romance. Ashley and Scott struggle with conflicts and emotional baggage that keep their characters depth. Ashley proves her heart to be made of gold as she struggles with thefts from her boutique. Yet she has spent most of her life living up to other people's expectations rather than honoring her own needs and desires. Scott is remarkably believable hero who once made a mistake that cost the family business dearly, and a personal choice that makes him incredibly gun shy of anyone who cannot be absolutely forthright. Fans will be eagerly awaiting the next installment of the Wilde family. THE WILDE SIDE comes very highly recommended.

Oh, baby!

Man oh man! This book represents my introduction to Janelle Denison. Janelle, where have you been?! I trolled the bookstore in search of something new and steamy, and I found this book. I was not disappointed. This book sizzles, and it's very well-written! My only critique is that it wasn't longer. Janelle, I'm off in search of more of your work--you rock!

But their passion, their hunger for each other, soars out of control from moment one and they willingly succumb to the fiery need that pulls them into a relationship that has no hope of enduring --- because of who they are and the entirely different lives they live.Will Scott and Ashley be able to get past the obstacles standing in their way?

I Love This Family!!!!

Ms. Denison has gifted us with another great sexy, and fun read with the latest in the Wilde Family series.Ashley St. Claire has not had an easy time finding the perfect relationship. If they aren't out for her money (her family is a well-to-do family in Chicago owning their own hotels in several great cities) then they think that she is just a good girl and not worth bothering with. Ashley decides that it's up to her to find the one guy that will be interested in her not her portfolio so she uses her birthday wish to find the perfect guy to have the most incredible "melt your bones" fling with. What she doesn't expect to find is the one man that will offer her that and so much more!!!Bad boy Scott Wilde knows how to love a woman right, the problem is he's had the misfortune of being a boy toy one to many times and is now looking for the perfect woman to maybe live happily ever after since most of his family has managed to not only fall in love but marry and in some cases start having families. Scott is totally blown away though when on a dare from his Wilde brothers attempts to pick up the beauty that has just walked into the bar that he is hanging out in. Scott can tell that she is different right away, and since he has never met a dare that he walked away from he heads towards the beauty at the bar that has been shooting down every guy that has approached her. He is totally blown away when said lady askes him to be her birthday present. Well, heck he would be a fool to say no. Problem is Ashley touches him on many different levels and this hard working contractor has his work cut out for him proving that their one night stand was just the beginning of a very good thing.This was again a fast paced read that was both sexy and fun. Many of the Wilde clan are included in this book and it's fun to see how their lives have moved on. New secondary characters only add to this great story. Scott and Ashley had great chemistry and Ms. Denison managed to keep them both mixed up without the "problem" becoming overly tedious. The premise of working class stiff, and rich girl had me a bit skeptical but Ms. Denison managed to pull it off. If you are a fan of this series you won't want to miss this latest installment. If you are new to Ms. Denison then you are in for a real good read!
