ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 10, 2025
I’m not the calm before the storm. I am the storm. And only she can tame my wild ways.
Hockey is my religion.
My body is my temple.
My only goal in life is to win another Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Whales, so women are just a sexy distraction.
Until her.
The fiery redhead I see across the bar while I’m at an away game.
With one look, I know I have to meet her.
With one touch, I need her beneath me.
With one bat of her long lashes, I want those eyes gazing up at me as she kneels before me.
And with booze flowing through my veins, I do something I’ve never done. I offer her a proposition—to spend a long weekend with me.
What is only supposed to be three nights of sizzling passion turns into much more, and when I leave for my next away game, I find myself wanting her in ways I’ve never felt.
She’s a young heart with an old soul.
My dream woman in every way.
The only thing I’ve ever encountered that my family name, talent and money can’t attain.
But there’s too much distance between us, and I realize that maybe we just aren’t meant to be.
Until a chance meeting skates us right back together and our time is suddenly now.
Except all of that changes when I learn the truth …
She’s forbidden, untouchable, and off-limits.
With my heart on the line, can I score the most crucial goal of my life, or will she realize that being with the wildest one isn’t worth the sacrifices she’ll have to make?

REVIEW: The Wildest One is such a perfect title for Beck and Jolie’s second chance at love. As book two in the Weston Group series, the book itself can be read as a standalone, but as always, to get the most out of the series, I recommend reading them in order.
Jolie is halfway through her college degree and back in her hometown for a small break, during this time she stops for a drink with a friend after a big hockey game, one that “her” team if you will, loses. Thinking of nothing but having a good time with her friend, and enjoying her time away from school for once, Jolie is surprised when she is hit on by none other than the captain of the winning hockey team. Beck seems larger than life, and not at all like the basic hockey man-ho that the world makes him out to be. Their chemistry sparks between them, leading Jolie to agree to spend the weekend with him. Three days of all out, no strings attached, fun time, neither of them are in a place where they want more, but the connection they have is one neither of them can deny.
When Beck sets eyes on Jolie with her red hair and bright smile, he’s smitten and he knows it, only hang up? She’s wearing their rival’s team jersey, not that that stops him from making his move on her. Getting Jolie to spend the three day weekend with him feels better than winning the game that night, but alas when the weekend ends, his thoughts and feelings for her don’t. Now three years later, their paths intertwine again, and this time he’s not letting her get away.
There are many things I can say about Ms. Author, but what she can do with her books is just top-notch. At first I was a little unsure with Jolie and Beck, I wasn’t feeling the chemistry with them, but when they met up again after a few years, I was happily proven wrong. As per her usual writing style, Ms. Author serves up some angst and struggle for her characters, making them work for their HEA, but even with that, the read was very enjoyable. The characters were fun and engaging, the plot easy to follow but interesting enough to keep the reader wanting more. I loved how stubborn Beck was in his pursuit of Jolie, and Jolie sticking to her guns and being the “typical” hockey fan, together they are just a kick in the pants to read. The Weston series has more to come I’m sure, and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into it.
