Publisher's summary

I was ready to say "I do", then my fiancé left me at the altar.

Broken and embarrassed, Trace and Elliot helped me run away—ditching my wedding dress in the process.

When I come back to the Wilder Retreat to show the world I’m no longer hurting, I know I must ignore my traitorous needs when it comes to these two men.

Because my body wants them both.

And my soul craves them just as much.

I know I can’t choose, and part of me asks why I should.

Only when we decide to take that chance and share everything, the danger from our pasts refuses to let our choice stand.

With one kiss, one dance into temptation, we could lose everything.

Including our lives.

Good addition to this series

This latest installment of this series was a pretty good read and one that I was not really expecting to turn out the way that it did. It also brought this end to the Wilder brothers to an end and a bitter sweet end to this branch of the family that it was.

In this installment we meet embarrassed bride Sidney who has been left at the altar by her fiance for her sister is trying to come to terms with the events of her life, working in making some life decisions with her business as well as her life goals and just plainly looking for closure. What she does not expect is to find not one but two men that are interested in her and want to have a no strings attached relationship.

Trace who has been fighting his attraction to Elliot for the longest time at the start of the story ends up saving Elliot's life works has just ended a relationship of convenience - one that would only benefit his affluent family and not him. He gives into the attraction that he has to not only Elliot but to Sidney as well and agrees to a short term relationship in hopes to get over his attractions.

Elliot is the last Wilder that is single. He had one relationship that when in the military that had to be a secret. He has guilt over the death of the man in that relationship and is having a hard time accepting that he can move on with his life and be happy too. He too has an undeniable attraction to both Trace and Sidney and also agrees to the short term fling.

While for once, there was not anyone that was after one of the main characters - which appears to be a typical theme in Ms. Ryan's books, this story between this trupple was one steamy read. All three main characters have chemistry that is off the charts when they are all together as well as when they have time where they are paired off in twos. I enjoyed watching these characters work through their issues and becoming the stronger characters that they were meant to be. I also enjoyed the return of hte characters from the previous books in the series as well as the taste of where the series is going to go after this branch ends.

The narration in the audio book was performed by Stephen Dexter, Ryan West and Samantha Cook who all did a great job bringing this story to life while making it an enjoyable listening experience. Overall, this was a good read that I enjoyed from start to finish and would recommend not only this installment to the series but also the entire series.

I love the Wilder Brothers

The Wilders have been so much fun to get to know. I was so happy that Trace and Elliott were going to be a thing and Sydney really brings them together in a special way. This trio's story was beautiful and heart wrenching as they worked through their own demons and issues with outside influences on their lives. Seeing how the Wilders always come to support each other is beautiful.
The narrators did a beautiful job bringing these characters to life. I really enjoyed the full personality that the narrators brought to each character.

Love this trio

Book #6 in the Wilder Brothers series and I have yet to read a book by Carrie that has not completely satisfied and fulfilled me. Love, love, loved Elliot, Sidney & Trace's story.

Sweet and easy story to get lost in!

This was a sweet and easy story to get lost in! Sidney met Trace and Elliott on one of the worst days of her life. And they were there for her in a way that was unexpected. She knew there was something special about Trace and Elliott and when she comes back to Wilder Retreat, she learns there was indeed something there. I enjoyed the way the narrators brought these characters to life. It felt like you were really hearing from Trace, Elliott and Sidney. And the reader could feel the love and genuine appreciation for one another. I enjoyed their journey and couldn’t listen to this one fast enough! I like how we see the rest of the Wilders as well as the trio this book is focused on. I do recommend starting with the first book in this series, but be sure to grab your copy!

Elliot, Trace and Sydney

𝘼 𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨.

Elliot, the youngest Wilder, is the only remaining single one until not one, but two people catch his attention. Trace, who he works with, and Sydney, a jilted bride from one of the weddings hosted at their venue. After a weekend of fun, it soon becomes clear the three of them are meant to be together.

Elliot, Trace and Sydney's story is a rollercoaster ride. I love how even though they all had their demons that they were battling, they managed to find and lean on each other to help fight said demons.

I loathed Sydney's family and was happy when the book was complete that I would not have to hear about them anymore.

Ryan West, Samantha Cook and Stephen Dexter did a good job of portraying all the characters and bringing the story to life.

Get ready for... why choose (mmf), military, jilted bride, bodyguard, workplace, age gap (9 years), and first-person point of view.

Fɪɴᴅɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ Rᴏᴀᴅ ᴛᴏ Us by Carrie Ann Ryan gets 4 Maple Leafs.

A broken melody that hits all the right notes.

From the turbulent to the unpredictable, Ryan forces emotions out of their comfort zone. Finding the Road to Us, lays it's sins bare. Three hearts spell trouble with a capital "T." Elliott, Trace and Sydney are a wild ride of heartache, temptation and romance. A broken melody that hits all the right notes. Dexter, Cook and West are a sultry feast. Emotions run deep, attractions run wild and danger is only a heartbeat away.

Wilders in the Wild

The final book in the Wilder Brothers. Elliot gets his HEA. But what an interesting HEA he gets. Sydney gets left at the altar by her groom and her family gives her grief and blames her for it. So when she needs to escape, enter Elliot and Trace (yes, Trace). Elliot and Trace have been skirting around their attraction for some time now. But when Sydney enters the picture, they decide it could work. But will his brother's accept the relationship. Will Elliot accept the relationship or try to torpedo it before it gets off the ground? He's done this before and it didn't end well, so he assumes history will repeat itself.

I love the Wilders. They are the most accepting family ever. And we are introduced to the cousins. More Wilders in the Wild.

Stephen Dexter, Ryan West and Samantha Cook make quite the team inSt this book. I loved Sydney's spunk and Samantha Cook brings it out in force. Stephen Dexter and Ryan West bounce off of each other well and take everything in stride. Just like a couple would.

Emotional and sweet MMF romance

These Wilder Brothers are something special and we’re at the last brother who has found his forever with two special people. “Finding the Road to Us” is an emotional, heartfelt and wonderful MMF why choose romance that was a delight to listen to.

Elliot is the last brother to be unattached and he’s also the jack of all trades being able to help his family with whatever they need. And when a bride is left at the altar, he and Trace step in to help her escape. Fast forward, one year later, Sindey is back at the resort. She has been thinking about them for the last year and has felt an attraction to both of them. Trace and Elliott have always had a flirtation connection and when Sidney comes back, they all realize that there is an intense connection between the three of them.

Oh my gosh, there was so much emotion and passion within this story… it made my heart so happy. Elliot had a tough time in the service like his brothers and had some struggles dealing with it. Finding Trace and Sidney helped him heal some old wounds that way he could be what they needed. Trace was such a genuine guy and I loved his role on the estate and how he felt connected with Elliot right away. I loved the longing glances and flirtation between them. Sidney was an instant favorite for me and I loved how she became apart of their lives. Being left at the altar was hard but it led her to better things. There were steamy scenes with all of three of them together and some with just two. That shows that this was a true polyamory relationship. The ending was so sweet and I can’t wait for the Wilder cousins stories.

Samantha Cook, Stephan Dexter and Ryan West were so great as this triad. All three were the perfect choices and brought each character alive perfectly. There were so many emotions and special moments in this story and I enjoyed this audiobook so much.

Great story

I really enjoyed this story! It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention the entire time. Elliot and Trace have known each other for years but have never really shown any interest or made a move during that time. Until a year ago, on a hike where Elliot almost fell off a cliff. A short time later, they both help a bride who's groom has run away from her at the alter. They both felt something, a connection, to that bride but nothing has happened or really been discussed for the last year...until she comes back to the Retreat and things are set in motion. I loved watching these three come together and build something. None of them were exactly looking to pursue something but the situation and the connection has things happening and finally nudging them along. I enjoyed how they went about their triad and talking as they figured things out. They all have some emotional baggage that they are dealing with and they fit and work together. This story had plenty to hold my attention though there isn't this one large threat but smaller ones that are part of life for the most part that they have to deal with as they figure out what they want for their future. This story was well done and flowed smoothly. I really enjoyed Trace, Elliot and Sidney as they found love together.
Narrators did a good job with the voices, some showcased emotion and action a little better in the voice but still enjoyable to listen to.

Finding the Road to Us

The last Wilder brother finds his way. Elliot is the last single brother and expects to be that for the rest of his life. He believes that the two people he longs for are out of his reach. When the three begin a tentative relationship, it is all fun and gamed but is it really? Elliot my think so but Trace has a different opinion and Sidney cannot believe in love again. The three must decide if they want to fight for their happy ever after or let it slip away.
I enjoyed this story. I loved Trace since he first showed up in the Wilder world. Elliot is such a sweetheart and Sidney is stronger than she realizes. I loved seeing their relationship grow and deepen. It was nice to see the support that they are able to give to one another. Their journey is full of emotions and pulls at your heart. Alongside the romance we also get a look at the cousins and I am excited to see how their stories will turn out, Narrators Stephen Dexter, Samantha Cook and Ryan West to a nice job of keeping the story flowing and bringing the emotions out for these characters.
