If he was a lion, then I was a goat. The kind that fainted every time someone snapped their fingers too loud.

I was looking forward to reading this book a crazy amount, which can sometimes backfire a little. Thankfully Wild Heart didn’t disappoint at all. I think this book is a pretty perfect representation of what I love about both Daddy/boy dynamics, as well as the hurt/comfort trope. The caretaking and cuddling was top notch, and the love the MCs had for each other could be felt throughout.

“Ugh. Freddy.” “Baby, are you jealous of the man I torched?” “You torched him?” He gagged a little. “That's disgusting.” “I gave the order.” Bowl in hand, I made him a dish and set it in front him. “It’s hot. Don’t burn yourself.” “Thank you,” he said. “And for the record, I think I’m jealous of any man who gets your attention.”

“I have a bit of a jealousy problem,” he mumbled, and I chuckled.

Marcos and Ivan have known about each other for a long time, but an event at the start of the book is what led to them acting on their mutual attraction. It’s hard to say if it’s instalove or not because of this, but they are definitely instaobsessed with each other. We’re talking about an unhealthy codependency, possessiveness and a jealous streak a mile long that would normally be red flags, but sue me, I freaking love reading about it in books like these.

“Ask me how many relationships I’ve had.” “No, I don’t wanna.” “Ask me.” “Fine!” He spat. “How many?” “Zero.” The space between his shoulders stiffened. “Really?” “Swear it.” “Aren’t you like forty or something?” “I’m thirty-eight, you fucking brat.”

My father made a humming sound and took a tentative step forward. “Your boyfriend looks forty.” “Don’t be a dick, Luis. He’s thirty-eight.” Ivan chuckled in my ear.

Speaking about Daddy kink, this is the first time I’ve read a book where the boy calls his daddy Papi, and let me tell you, it’s absolutely adorable. It fits with these MCs so well, and I loved that April Jade did that.

“I don’t want anything to happen to you, Dad, but I’m… I’m important too.” “I never said you weren’t.” “That’s true.” Hand to my mouth, I nodded, fighting against the tears that pooled in my eyes. “But you never said I was either.”
My heart hurt really bad whenever Marcos talked about how his family treated him.

If you enjoy mafia romance with a good dose of ruthless violence, extreme obsession, possessiveness and Daddy kink, look no further. The spice in this one was a step up from the previous book as well. *chefs kiss*

“Ivan!” Marcos stiffened, a low sound vibrating his throat. His grip was punishing now, and he tore at my skin like he owned it. Eyes thin and lips flat, he cocked his head ever so slightly and stared at the man who approached us. “Baby, that’s Austin. He owns the farm with his dad.” “I don’t like how he said your name,” he spat. “Like he knows you or something.” Hell.

You don’t have to have read the first book, Mad Love, but I highly recommend it, just because it’s a really good book as well.

Ugh, I have so many quotes I want to share
