Sasha
I'm prey. Weak little helpless prey. At least, that's what I let the wild men in Wilde's End think. I haven't trusted them one bit since I've been stranded here, and after Lynx tries to kill me, I know my instincts were correct.
At least until I'm forced to spend more time with the machete-wielding animal. He's got a past he won't talk about, and a protective streak that anyone else would find suffocating.
Anyone but me.
And when he extends that protection to me, it feels better than I expect it to.
I still want out of The End, but maybe I can have a little fun first.
Lynx
I'm a predator. When I was young, I promised myself that no one would ever get past my defenses again. People call me scary and unhinged, but they can think what they like so long as my town is safe.
The influx of outsiders to Wilde's End already had me on edge, and then in stumbles Sasha. A small, weak, walking tragedy. I have no idea how he's survived this long, but something about him calls to me. Everything from his pretty eyes to the way he bites back at me and fights battles he has no chance of winning.
I'd assumed he was prey.
But the more I push, the more I feel like I'm the one being hunted.

next.
Lynx is the mysterious, dangerous, superstitious, scary protector of Wilde's End. He takes protection of his pack very seriously and wants them to know how to defend themselves. He does not like outsiders and is untrusting. And when they find out an outsider, Sasha, has been hiding out and stealing from them to survive, he comes close to killing him.
Sasha seems like a lost, oblivious rabbit and prey. And he piques the interest of Lynx the predator. But Sasha is not as sweet or as innocent as he appears and has his own demons nipping at his heels. He is also smart, sneaky, can bite back, and is dangerous in his own way. He crashed into Wilde's End with the intention of it only being a temporary stopping point.
They push and challenge each other and find unexpected common ground. Sasha likes to push Lynx to see more under his hard, psychotic, unemotional facade. And Lynx is intrigued by Sasha's bite and cunning. They are a perfectly matched prey who is also a survivor and a predator with protective instincts.
It's grumpy sunshine, hurt-comfort, forced proximity romance with danger, suspense, and some primal play in an isolated wild town full of quirky characters. These two men are just trying to figure out if it is scarier to be with the person that they are obsessed with or without, and if being together makes them weaker or stronger. We get more with Booker in this one, and I am interested in his book next.

Hudson
Give me the smallest reason to make a bad decision, and I’ll jump in with both feet. Case in point: thinking that drunkenly buying an abandoned town with my brothers is a good idea.
As builders, we plan to renovate and flip the town, maybe turn it into something worth seeing, but the longer we’re here, the more things feel … off.
It’s not until a bearded mountain man breaks into my room in the middle of the night and threatens for us to get out of his town that I realize Wilde’s End isn’t as abandoned as we were told.
But there’s nothing waiting for me in the life I left behind, and in making his demands, Wilde has accidentally tapped into my competitive side.
Terrible decisions? Me?
Wilde can bring it on.
Wilde
I escaped to Wilde’s End twenty years ago, and since then I’ve dedicated my life to the town and the people who live there. Because if I focus on others, I don't have the time or energy to face everything I’ve been running from.
The Bellamy brothers coming to town is like three horsemen of the goddamn apocalypse. They leave destruction in their wake, and when the eldest, Hudson, ignores my very kind request to leave, it’s time to take things into my own hands. Protecting this town is all I know how to do.
But I’ve never faced someone like Hudson.
His stubbornness matches mine, and his attitude has an irritating way of worming under my skin. The more I push him, the harder he pushes back, until we’re locked in a game neither of us will walk away from.
With his smart mouth, bullheaded recklessness and those damn eyelashes I’m starting to question whether I can win this one.
But if I lose, this town isn’t the only thing on the line.

Kim's 4-4.5 starreview
Kennedy
I’ve always been the relationship guy.
I love big, hard and fast … but unfortunately for me, that’s the quickest way to make a new romance crash and burn.
Moving to Wilde’s End, our not-so-abandoned town, is exactly the fresh start I need. What’s better than a town in the middle of nowhere and long days of hard work to swear off relationships? At least that’s what I think, until I meet Ziggy.
He’s the town electrician who has a weird habit of making sparks fly whenever I’m around him. He’s cute, snarky, and his piercings are hot as hell.
Too bad I don’t trust myself not to make the same mistakes I always do.
Ziggy
I’ve always been the weird loner. The strange kid who doesn’t talk.
So when Kennedy shows up in my life, with his big energy and sunny personality, I don’t know how to take him. I’m used to being the invisible shadow that goes unnoticed in the Wilde.
Kennedy makes me feel seen.
He doesn’t expect me to talk when the voices in my head get too loud, he doesn’t expect me to be funny or witty or anything that I’m not.
He’s happy just to be around me, and that’s not something I’ve experienced before.
He’s sworn off dating. And I’ve never so much as been kissed.
But with the sunshine he brings to my life, it’s impossible to feel like a shadow anymore. I’m determined to win him over, no matter what it takes.
