Title: Ridge (Wild #2)
Author: Adriane Leigh
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 3, 2014
Synopsis
Sometimes doing the wrong thing feels so right...
I'm a player. I'm an asshole. I'm someone you should stay away from. I have demons. I've made mistakes. And the biggest can't be taken back.
I've gone to hell and back in twenty-nine years and I'm only now coming to terms with moving forward, righting my wrongs, and making amends. Except not everyone deserves forgiveness.
Sometimes the damage done is beyond repair.
Everyday is exactly the same. I focus on the pain, in the quest to feel and forget, but I remember everything. When I close my eyes the darkness encroaches and some days it feels like the things that kill me are the things that make me feel alive.
**Ridge, like Wild, is a standalone. Reading Wild first will provide some back story, but is not required to read Ridge**

Excerpt:
"Hey.” She grabbed my chin and
turned my eyes to hers. "I realized something about you long ago, Ridge
Wild.”
"Oh yeah?” I tipped my head and
smiled at her.
"Other than you have a smile
that melts panties.” She smacked my cheek playfully.
"Other than that.”
"We don’t have to fix each
other. We don’t need to. You’re not perfect, and I’m not perfect, but we’re
perfect together. It was never about fixing you; it was always about loving
you.” She dusted a kiss along the corner of my mouth.
My eyes danced around her dark
features, soaking her up, before I pulled her in tighter to my body and planted
a kiss on her lips.
I realized finding her, fighting for
her, was about forgiveness, some twisted sense of retribution, coming to terms
with our pasts and learning that they don’t define us, but only serve to shape
us, make us who we are, make us better people.
As I looked at her, I realized I had
two options. I could go back in the direction I’d come from, or I could go
forward in the direction I wanted to go.
I was shit without her, but
fortunately, when I was with her, she was my other half. My matching piece. My
mirror image. My perfect opposite.
When I met her, I'd found me.
My Review: 5 stars
Wow! Ridge is all kinds of messed up alone. I feel badly for him, because he's trying so hard to be something and someone he's not. He's given up the one person who made him feel complete. God love him, he tries to be the person that he thinks he should be for others. Nothing goes right, everything spectacularly fails, and he hits rock bottom. He gave her up so he could get his brother back, because he needs him in his life. He just didn't realize what he was giving up when he does. Truth - They're perfect for each other, because they totally and completely get each other and give the other what they need when they need it. This was such a good read, I understand why Ridge did what he did, he thought it would make things better. He just didn't understand that Lane didn't care anymore about that because he'd moved on. That moment when they had that all to brief phone conversation - that was a game changer for Ridge. There were other moments that made him realize that he's not such a screw up, he's just not built the same way as other people. I loved getting to know Ridge and how he ticked, what he thought, what tortured him and kept him up at night. There were times that I felt so badly for everything that he went through, but I guess you do what you have to do, then you do what's right for you. Adriane so has a fan in me. I'm loving this series, and I can't wait for Slade to come out to find out his story.

Slade (Wild #3)
Always overlooked. Always just there.
That's what Dillon was to me.
Until one night. In one night she flipped my world on its axis and there's no going back.
But she has secrets, and secrets fester like an open wound. They color the past and forecast the future, but I'm determined to open her up; free her from her memories so she can live in the light and have the life she deserves.
It's just too bad that she wants nothing to do with me. But I'm nothing if not persistent and I'm not a man that gives up without a fight. I've had a taste and there's no walking away.
I just have to convince her that I'm not what she fears, I'm what she wants.
