Amazon / B&N / iTunes / Google Play / BAM / Book Depository

Description:
Love runs wild at the Sagebrush Flats Zoo…

In a bid to revitalize his career, bestselling author Magnus Gray has come to Sagebrush Flats to write about the local zoo’s latest rescue–an orphaned baby polar bear. But Magnus dreads the drama of small towns and is bullishly determined to keep to himself.

June Winters is a people person, and delights in welcoming Magnus to Sagebrush Flats, though it seems unlikely she can get the handsome stranger to crack a smile. Then a mishap with an open gate forces Magnus and June to deal with a stampeding flock of fainting goats, an adorable but clingy polar bear cub, a cranky pregnant camel, and two star-crossed honey badgers. Never mind small town drama–the lively animals may just convince these two that opposites really do attract…

Review:

Sweet Wild of Mine by Laurel Kerr sounded a fun read….. This is the second book in the her Where the Wild Hearts Are series, I haven’t read the first in this series, but I don’t think it really matters. 

Magnus is a best selling author, but he’s hit a block, so in an attempt to appease his publisher and maybe to inspire a new book. He’s helping in a zoo, writing a piece on a rescued orphaned baby polar bear. 

He’s not a people person, he doesn’t do feelings, he’s a loner and likes it that way. So when a bossy woman at the zoo starts to talk to him, at first he isn’t bothered, nor is he interested. But there is something about her, and the more time he spends with her, the more he begins to like her. 

June is the best friend of Katie (the heroine in book 1, Wild on my mind) June runs her nana’s tea shop in the small town of Sagebrush Flats, she makes jams, and is also dealing with her nan’s mental deterioration.  June is used to being in charge, she manages everyone and everything around her. She’s doesn’t take no for an answer, and she assumes she’s always right. 

It was a nice read. For me, I just didn’t feel the connection between Magnus and June.
