Love in the Wild was such a fantastic story and I honestly couldn't put this one down and just swept through this story so easily. I read this partly audiobook and partly ebook. Either way is a wonderful format in reading this book. I have had this book on my TBR for over a year and I am not sure what took me so long to read it, but I absolutely LOVED this book. I do something get nervous in reading new authors and as I had never read this author before I wasn't sure how I would take to her writing. But I have to say that I absolutely adored this book in every way. It turned out to be such a win for me in so many ways. I was so drawn into the retelling of Tarzan. The author puts her own twist on it, but she does follow the tale of Tarzan pretty closely. I love the connection between the two characters, and even though it had a more insta love feel to it, the author really made it work in this one. I was so fascinated to see where the author would take this story and how she would develop the romance. I will say that this author definitely knows how to work through my emotions in such a captivating way. I was so drawn into both of these characters and seeing them fall in love with each other, the family units of the gorilla's that raised Thorn was so endearing. There is such strong character growth that is implemented within this story and the way that our pair find their way to their HEA was so stunning and I was on board all the way through and couldn't put this treasure down.

Overall I found Love in the Wild to be a stunning gem of a read that focused so beautifully on real emotion and the true power of love!
