I read the short novella "The Wilde One" by Janelle Denison. It's the fourth episode in her Wilde series. This one features Adrian Wilde the last brother of the original Wilde brothers and overall the most interesting of the three.
Adrian is a mix of bad!boy and hurt!boy. His encounter with Chayse Douglas, well more her chase of him to pose for a charity calendar turns out to be the chase of a life time. Both characters are interesting and the format of the short novella forces Denison to shorten her wandering ways into fantasy play and she focuses on the characters motivation and actions. This is the best of the brothers Wilde novella/novel.

Three great stories from three very good authors. Each story has strong characters that you will like getting to know. I haven't read the last two authors before but after reading this book had to go see if I could find more that they had wrote. Lori Foster I have read but have not found a book of hers I haven't liked yet. Even though they were short stories there was enough to flesh out the characters and story line so that it didn't seem like it was a short story. As stated already they wrote so well that went looking for more as there was humor, characters you felt in touch with and more.
