Editoral Review
In Wild & Sweet, Rhenna Morgan delivers a sizzling romance with a touch of magic that will leave readers spellbound. Morgan is known for weaving together richly detailed characters and settings with plots that range from action-packed to emotionally charged, and Wild & Sweet is no exception.
Set in the fictional town of Havenwood, Kentucky, this novel follows the story of Kenna Starr, a determined and independent woman with a secret gift that makes her an outcast in her community. When Kenna meets Mason Bennett, a ruggedly handsome man with a troubled past and a deep connection to the wild horses that roam the land around Havenwood, sparks fly.
But as their attraction grows, Kenna must face her fears and decide whether she can trust Mason with her secret, and whether she is willing to risk everything for a chance at true love. Morgan excels at creating multifaceted characters who are both relatable and unique.
Kenna is a fierce heroine who readers will root for from the first page, while Mason is a complicated hero whose tough exterior masks a deep vulnerability. Morgan also skillfully weaves in magical elements, from Kenna’s supernatural ability to communicate with animals to the mystical bond between Mason and the wild horses.
These elements add depth and richness to the story without overpowering the romance at the center. However, the pacing of the novel can be uneven at times.
The first half of the book is heavy on exposition and internal monologue, which may slow down readers who are more interested in the action and romance. Additionally, some of the conflicts and obstacles that arise in the second half feel contrived and overly dramatic.
Despite these issues, Wild & Sweet is a compelling and entertaining read. Fans of romance, paranormal fiction, and stories set in rural America will find much to enjoy here.
Morgan’s descriptive prose creates a vivid sense of place, from the sprawling fields of green to the cozy small-town diners. Her exploration of themes such as family, loyalty, and finding one’s place in the world also gives the novel a deeper resonance that will resonate with readers.
In conclusion, Rhenna Morgan’s Wild & Sweet offers an engaging and steamy romance with a dash of magic and mystery. While the pacing may be slow at times, the characters and setting are richly drawn, and the themes explored are thought-provoking.
Overall, this novel is a worthy addition to Morgan’s body of work and is sure to charm readers who are looking for a swoon-worthy love story with a touch of the otherworldly. The Washington Post gives this book a solid four out of five stars.
