Forever Wild

Wildcat Hockey, Book 5

De: Rebecca Jenshak

Narrado por: Sebastian York, CJ Bloom

Hockey is everything. My game, my team—that's all that matters. But an accident during the playoffs leaves me sidelined and puts my future in question.

With my teammates off enjoying their vacations, my only plan this summer is to heal and come back stronger than ever. No distractions. No babysitters. I want to be left alone.

Unfortunately, Everly Kent has never cared about what I want or need.

She barges in like a storm. Stubborn, sassy, beautiful. I don't want her in my space, but she's determined to take care of me.

Before I know it, she's under my skin in the best way possible and I'm bending all my rules for her.

Including one I never thought I'd break: falling for my teammate's little sister.

Jack & Everly 🩷

I put off listening to the last of the Wildcats series because I truly did not know if I could handle it ending… welp, I finally finished listening and I am sobbing!!!
Rebecca did such an incredible job with ending this series in the best way possible! I was so worried that Everly being so young in the previous books may make her relationship with Jack weird but the age gap and friends (frenemies) to lovers WORKED 👏🏻
I laughed, swooned, cried, and fell for this found family even more!!! I 1000% recommend this series 🤩

Best of the series!

I loved this story! This was by far my favorite of the series so far!

FINALLY Jack and Everly=Perfection

Forever Wild is the book I’ve been waiting for since the Wildcats series began and it was so worth the wait. Jack and Everly are pure perfection!! I couldn’t get enough of their push and pull relationship and how well they complemented each other.

Everly has always been a spitfire who isn’t afraid to speak her mind and stand up for herself while Jack is the grumpy hockey player who she always spars with. Newly graduated, she’s trying to find her path in life without disappointing those she cares about. With everyone gone for summer, she finds herself spending time with an injured Jack and the more time they spend with each other, the more the sparks begin to fly.

The audio was narrated by Sebastian York and CJ Bloom. They were perfection as Jack and Everly. Sebastian’s deep, growly voice was so good for the grumpy Jack and CJ showcased all of Everly’s sass and feistiness. I had so much fun listening to their performance, and I think it made me love the story even more.

Jack and Everly were so much fun. Their banter was full of electricity and the tension between them was explosive. I loved watching them become vulnerable with each other and really becoming friends. Both grew so much throughout the story and Everly really came into to her own and figured out what she needed in her life. With Everly’s help, Jack learned that there was more to life than hockey. These two are absolutely perfect for each other and I loved watching their relationship develop. I’m so sad to say goodbye to the Wildcats, but I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next.

Book 5 in series- Read all 5

This is the 5th book of the series. While you can listen to it solo I’d recommend doing the whole series as it’s really cute to hear the progress of the characters

Great end to the series!

Finally got around to picking up the audio of this one, and it was so good! I enjoyed this series a lot, and I was happy to see Jack finally get his own HEA. I don't typically love an age gap, but this was a good one, and I loved how Everly really got Jack to open up and was there for him when he most needed it, even if he didn't want her to be. They were super cute together, and the tension was so good when it started to ramp up. A great finale for this series!

An outstanding performance on audio that elevates this final story of the Wildcats hockey series!

I LOVE the Wildcats and this story was just an incredible ending to this series!! He’s the grumpy and protective captain of the hockey team and she is the sassy little sister of his teammate. Their story was emotional and sweet but also so playful and sexy! You also get all the found family moments incorporated into their story which was so heartwarming to see as they have all been a big part of both of their lives in the series. The whole book was just a perfect culmination to the Wildcat Hockey series and the added glimpses of those Wildcat babies made it even sweeter!

Jack is the captain of the hockey team and gets in an accident at the end of the season that leaves him injured, but he doesn’t want help recovering. Everly just graduated college and is house sitting for the summer, so when everyone leaves town she is asked to check on him. Despite his resistance she is feisty and ends up at his house every day as he has the best pool in town….

AUDIO REVIEW:
The audiobook for this one is a dual narration by Sebastian York and CJ Bloom. Their performance was SO fantastic as Jack & Everly that I ended up listening to it twice in a row! Their voices showcased the tension and chemistry between Jack and Everly while capturing their personalities perfectly! This is one you want to listen to on audio to experience this story even more!

I will say that at first I was worried Sebastian’s voice would be too low to fit Jack’s character I envisioned the whole series, BUT he proved me wrong!!!! His deep voice showcased Jack’s age as an older athlete while also capturing his grumpy demeanor due to an injury. Then there is CJ Bloom whose light, upbeat tone brought out the vibrant personality of Everly. She even has that younger, yet mature tone to her voice that helped to solidify their age gap in the audio. Her voice is so pleasing to listen while also bringing out Everly’s sass which was the perfect pushback for all of Sebastian’s grouchy banter as Jack with her! Overall, Sebastian and CJ brought the final book of this series to LIFE!!

Loved this

This was a great story! The characters were complex, well-developed, and thoroughly entertaining. I loved their chemistry!

Age gap yes pleaseeee

I love Jack! I think he instantly became my number one wild cat!
Eve didn’t back down and kept him in line! She never gave up on him and he finally got his head out from his a$$ haha! I love how it’s going to play into the holland brothers!

Loved this forbidden age gap love story!

Jack and Everly's forbidden age gap love story is the perfect way to conclude Jenshak's Wildcat Hockey series. This story had it all, fun banter, heartfelt emotions, their teammate family, hot steamy passion and more! I loved it all! Jack is the perfect team captain because he cares, and looks after everyone. After an accident, he is recovering at home alone, because everyone is gone during the off season. He is surly, and grumpy, and not in the mood to look after his father, or have any company. Everly has grown into her own over this series. She has graduated college, and spending the summer enjoying herself before starting her internship, away from the people she loves best. When she looks in on Jack, she knows he needs someone to care for him for once. He tries to push her away, but secretly loves having her light in his life. The more time they spend together, the attraction between them grows, and their chemistry is impossible to deny. Jack doesn't feel worthy of love, especially from his teammates much younger sister. Everly is smart and creative, but she isn't sure she likes her career path. They are both facing uncertain futures, but can they find their way together, or will their obstacles be too much, breaking them apart and their hearts? Jack and Everly are so perfect together, and their chemistry is explosive. I loved seeing Everly as the woman she was meant to be, and how she helps Jack to let down his guard, and let others in past his walls. I also love the way Jack takes care of everyone, but he shows Everly that she is a partner, not a burden. Ms. Jenshak portrayed life with all it's complications, joy, heartbreak, and pleasure so beautifully. There are so many intriguing facets to their story that held me completely captive from start to finish. What a perfect ending to this fun, exhilarating, emotional and steamy series. I have grown to really care for all the Wildcats and the women who challenge and love them. I am sad this series is done, but so happy I was along for the ride!
Narrators CJ Bloom and Sebastian York were fantastic. Bloom effortlessly brought out the lively, loving, and vulnerable, Everly. York's smooth, deep voice that perfectly characterized the surly man hiding behind a wall of obligation, fighting to unleash his generous, tender, loving side. Both performances were pure perfection and I was completely lost in their storytelling. I absolutely loved this heartfelt, hilarious, and sizzling romance!
