5.0 out of 5 stars I love RE Hargrave’s writing!!!

Hyde is a voice actor, who lives in his childhood home that he has renovated. His studio is in his home and he doesn’t leave...ever. His parents were murdered in their home, the one he lives in now, when he was in college.. he feels guilty because he knows that if he has been home,he would have been able to save them.

Gypsy has been a wanderer since she was 18 years old, never staying anywhere permanently. Now she has custody of Tina, her sisters daughter. She needs to stay put for Tina’s sake. Gypsy takes a job as Hyde’s housekeeper. She likes him, Tina likes him, the arrangement appears to be working.

Situations arise that cause Gypsy’s flight instinct to kick in.... and she does just that.

What happens? I promise you, that reading this book will not only give you the answer to this question, but, oh, so much more! R.E. Hargrave is a fantastic writer and this book is no exception. There is so much heart in this story! For me, it was a dive right in and don’t stop till you’re done kind of story! And that’s just what I did! Hyde caught me from the first pages of it, and his determination and fight kept me captivated!

Wanted by R.E. Hargrave is the book that I have read by this author and it will not be the last. Gypsy is a free spirited person who has her wings clipped by a personal tragedy. Hyde a quirky recluse. When a chance meeting with Hyde's loving yet interfering family brings the two opposites together, it holds true to the saying opposite due truly attract. The story has a quick start, jumping right into Gypsy and Hyde's meeting. Then a slow build to tell the each character's personal backstories. The characters are well developed and compliment, not only each other but the story nicely. The only real criticism I have for the story, is that I would loved to see more of the story to the unraveling of a certain blond pain in the --- . Make sure not to pass up this read this summer a definite 5 star read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathe of fresh air...

I could jump right in and say that even though I know I should, "I never write reviews”... Honestly, I write them only when something either impresses me or makes me cringe. This one impressed me... This story was an absolute breath of fresh air. First of all, the writing is excellent... I didn’t notice any glaring typos or grammatical errors. That by itself gives it a 3 star rating compared to what I’ve been reading. I didn't have to continually be pulled out of the story because of grammatical mistakes, poor word usage or a plethora of ill placed commas. Next, and probably my favorite thing... is the story is sweet and believable. You genuinely like the characters in the story and you are rooting for them. Gypsy is well developed and strong female without being a curse word laden witch. Can you say refreshing? She is a little lost on her path in life but genuine and nice. I would actually love to be Gypsy’s friend. Her outlook on life is lightness and good. Not to say she doesn't have struggles, because she does... oh does she ever, but she doesn't have a "woe is me. Poor me... I'm so pitiful" world view. Hyde has been hurt and is struggling with his demons but he isn't so broken that he is some all around a-hole. He is thoughtful and introspective and cares about his family and about Gypsy. Likable, relatable characters; that bumped it up to 4 stars... and the rest is just because I couldn’t put it down... This is worth every penny and worth the evening it took me to read it.

I LOVE THIS BOOK. Which, real talk, I love all of RE Hargrave's books. But this one is my new favorite.

Very well written. The characters absolutely leap off the pages. It can take me awhile to get through a book, I am a mama of 4 very active kids. This book picked me up and swept me along from the first page.

RE Hargrave writes in a way that makes you get lost in the story of her characters and I am so glad to have her newest on my shelf

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great idea!

This book hooked me with the summary. What a great idea for a romance book. I really fell in love with both the main characters and truly hated the nasty villain. Mrs. Hargrove does a magical job of developing her characters so that you understand their backgrounds and fall in love right with them. This isn’t your typical insta-love romance, you really feel the connection between the characters even before they do. Thank you for a great read, I loved it!

Hyde, the quirky reclusive bachelor narrator, and Gypsy, a free spirit wanderer guardian. Throw in a caring brother and his overwhelming family, a demanding author, and a grieving niece. This story has all the craziness to make or break them and just enough to keep you wanting more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Story!
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2020
Hyde Johnson may narrate erotic tales, but his personal life is anything but. A confirmed reclusive bachelor with some pent up family issues, he gives the illusion that he is content with his lifestyle. His brother and sister-in-law know different. They love him and are worried about his mental and physical health.
Gypsy Hartford is a young, single woman who has been left with the daunting charge of raising her adolescent niece, Tina when Gypsy's sister suddenly passes away. Her life is far from perfect - she has no career, no money, no car and above all, no job.
A chance conversation overheard in a local coffee shop sets the stage for Hyde and Gypsy's meeting.
While this story is short, it is packed full of emotions. Redemption, assessing one's self worth, learning to trust, letting go of the past and above all - accepting love.
The one character who stood out for me was Tina and her ability to connect with Hyde in a way no one has ever been able to do. Their friendship was so touching and I believe the kindling for the story.
Hargrave, while best known for her erotic, BDSM tales proves with this book that her genre limits are endless. She is a great story teller and quite frankly, I will continue to read what she writes.
Well done, Ms. Hargrave!

This book is a reflection of RE Hargrave’s talent. I have read many of her books and this one adds to my favorite list. She always comes up with great stories, in different genre too.
I love the fact that Hyde Johnson is an audio narrator. It adds a little something to the story in my opinion. He lives the bachelor life and pretends to be happy with it. He has his world turned upside down by Gypsy Hartford. After the passing of her sister, Gypsy has to take care of her niece. It isn’t an easy task but she’s willing to find a way to live a better life.
I like how the characters get together. How they build their own story. Hyde is a character I would like to see again.
It’s a great story. A must read. Get your copy now.
