Publisher's summary

The only thing that frightens shapeshifter Selene Rhodes more than the full moon is the idea of falling in love. Selene Rhodes has lived her whole life with a terrible secret: Not only can she take the form of any animal at will, but once a month the full moon transforms her into a fierce wolf-creature without a human conscience. Managing her condition means living by a strict routine, and more importantly, abstaining from intimate relationships with human beings. Selene is convinced that love and friendship can only bring her pain.

Forensic pathologist Eve Thomas is well acquainted with the pain of romantic love. Swearing off relationships after having her heart broken by a cheating ex, Eve throws herself into her work: catching murderers. When Selene comes to her aid after an attack by a masked man in Golden Gate Park, Eve is shocked by how powerfully she is drawn to her mysterious savior. Shaken by her own feelings for Eve, Selene is even more terrified to realize she isn’t even close to being the scariest monster stalking San Francisco. There is someone out in the city who is killing for pleasure, and his next target is the one woman he thinks might be able to stop him: Eve.

Alexandria Wilde makes this story interesting.

What did you love best about Wild?

The story it's self is a par-normal mystery. However, Selene one of the heroines (who is a shape shifter, for around 30 years) I find it hard to believe she has no clue nor did she ever try to find anyone else like herself since she's computer savvy and highly intelligent. (that whole premise is just screwy) Eve who is the love interest, and a medical examiner for the city is being stalked by a nut job serial killer. Selene in wolf form stops his attack on Eve. Then she goes behind a tree and turns back into her human form and helps Eve. They form an instant attraction. Alexandria Wilde's narration made this story interesting. Without her various voices for each character I don't thing I could have listened to the whole story.

Would you recommend Wild to your friends? Why or why not?

If you enjoy lesbian, paranormal mystery, with excellent narration then yes it may be worth it for you to listen.

Have you listened to any of Alexandria Wilde’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I love Alexandria Wilde and her narration's I've listened to many of her narrations in erotica, and novels, she has a wonderful voice and can do accents, and different genders, as well as express emotion, and passion. One of the best narrators for romance and erotica.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I wouldn't ........

Any additional comments?

I just found that with all of Selene's intelligence, and obvious capabilities and access to internet, that she never bothered to try to find others of her kind. Yes she was orphaned, and kicked out from her home but obviously she over came obstacles to get an education and earn a very good living. I can suspend my imagination on a lot of things but some how this part of the story bothered me. Again if it were not for Alexandria Wilde, this story would never have gotten me to the end. I'm not sure if a squeal is planned but at least we have the whole shape shifter thing out in the open......So maybe Selene will help Eve with her forensic work in the future. Who knows. As long as Alexandria Wilde Narrates I'd give it a try.

Steamy...

A good read with alot steamy romance scenes, had a decent plotline which kept things interesting. And... for me it was an acceptable amount of plot vs (sex on a stick). This had a nice mystery/thiller plot pusher which I enjoy and some touching moments as well. I read another novel which was the inverse of that cough* cough* midnight hunt, let's just say it was all about (sex on a stick) vs (sex on a stick).

Definitely Wild!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I loved it and wish that they would do all of Meghan O'Brien's books, with Alexandria Wilde as narrator. The story is erotic and different. I loved the characters and story line.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Eve. She was so open-minded. Her acceptance of Seline's changing was so refreshing. Laughed and cried, My favorite story line.

Have you listened to any of Alexandria Wilde’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes and this one is just as good!

If you could rename Wild, what would you call it?

I wouldn't it's the perfect title...

Any additional comments?

Please try to get Alexandria Wilde to do Battle Scar by Meghan O'Brien and the others not on audio yet...

Good, but...

Would you consider the audio edition of Wild to be better than the print version?

Despite this being a very good audio book overall, no.Although the narration added depth to the story, some aspects of it shift my personal preference towards the print (e-book) version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Wild?

Nope. I'm not going to spoil that for you.

What aspect of Alexandria Wilde’s performance would you have changed?

I really liked Alexandria Wilde's narration, but Selene's "Russian" accent did not seem to match the character's background.

And while I would normally overlook the pronunciation of 'perigee' in a romance novel, I was helpless against the tidal pull of the occasional "peri-ghee" towards a culinary tangent.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A hot shapeshifter romance.

Any additional comments?

Wild is an entertaining mix of romance, crime and urban fantasy.
I would recommend the audiobook to anyone who doesn't mind Selene's accent as much as I do.

simply amazing!!!

Where does Wild rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Its right next to the honor series. Its been a while i have enjoyed a book that was not written by Radclyffe. I loved every moment of this book, couldn't get enough.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Wild?

I think it was when Eve brought cake to Selene's house to thank her for saving her from that psycho and they fell into bed over and over again.

Have you listened to any of Alexandria Wilde’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I swear Ms. Wilde sounds really like Abby Craden I dont know why. I absolutely love Abby and I enjoyed Ms. Wilde's performance as well.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, when Eve was the house when the call girl arrived and Selene couldn't tell her what was really going on. I think I cried when they both were crying knowing how much it hurt Selene, not telling the truth and how much it hurt Eve not knowing the truth,

Any additional comments?

I was really hoping this book had a follow up or better yet a few more sequels to this story. The story has ended and now I dont have anything else to listen...oh well.

Excellent. I have always loved this book, so I was a little worried about getting the audio version. I needn't have worried.

worth a listen.....

Worth a listen if you like lust filled relationships and powerful women. I have to admit I didn't settle to listen properly at first because I couldn't get why it wasn't obvious that Alex Wilde and Abbey Craden are one in the same narrator ?
I therefore re listened to the first couple of chapters and put the narrator thing to the back of my mind.
The plot is a good one although the execution is a bit weak. The book relies on the relationship that quickly develops by the two main characters. The story premise seems to only really work if this was the start of a series of 'crime fighting' stories (can't say more or it would spoil the book.)In summary a little far fetched but its fiction so who cares !

Fantastic. Brilliant. Exciting. 10/10.

What a great story, it was so loving one minute and intense the next. I absolutely loved it. A different kind of lesbian romance and so sexy to. I was hooked and wanted to know more,. I listened to this story every second I could as I was desperate to find out what happens. I genuinely cared about the characters. It was that good. I definitely recommend this audio/book.
The narrator was brilliant with such a sexy voice that in places I'm sure steam was coming out of my ears! The narrator made things flow effortlessly and it was a dream to listen to.

I want book 2!

Best lesbian/paranormal book I've listened to!

The characters were well developed, the story had a twist, with an epic love story, and raunchy sex scenes. overall this is the first real book that I've found to have a great paranormal set up and an even better romance. can't rate it highly enough. I just hope other LGBT writers of paranormal fiction go to the same lengths in terms of an in depth story telling instead of just the romance or putting so much effort into the plot and action that there isn't really any romance to be had. The mix of the two were spot on. I sincerely hope that I can find more like this.

This is Abby Craden.

1000% sure that Alexandria Wilde is Abby Craden doing more risk-ay type stories. In any case, that means that there's a wider range of Abby-narrated stories to read now that I've discovered this is also her. Loved this book and how it is different from Meghan's other stories. Selene's gift isn't tacky and really well done. I'll be reading more Meghan O'Brien books for sure.

WILD!

This book totally surprised me. I have read a few Meghan O' Brien books and wasn't sure what to expect from the supernatural shape shifter element as this is not my usual genre. Instead, I was totally engrossed from the very beginning.
I love crime fiction so add a serial killer to the mix along with sexy and exotic females, and an intriguing story, what's not to like. This was a really good read with a fantastic narrator and I totally recommend.

Meghan O’Brien the Superstar

I’m a huge fan of Meghan O’Brien’s work and ‘Wild’ certainly did not disappoint. Prepare to be taken on an exotic journey of fantasy and crime expertly interwoven into modern society. You’ll intimately experience the characters’ highs and lows and connect wonderfully to the masterfully crafted story line. Plus Alexandria Wilde is one of my favourite narrators and you’ll soon hear for yourself why that is.

I highly recommend!

Awesome stuff

I’m a big fan of fantasy novels and have listened to and read very many, this one was really quite different and exciting. A combination of crime investigation, gentle lesbian romance, hot sensuous sex with the fantasy twist of a shifter. The characters are funny, interesting and very likeable and the narrator does a great job of creating individual characters and very much adding depth to the story. I very much recommend this audiobook, I just wish it was a series to continue their relationship and adventures.

Decent

I loved Alexandria Wilde's narration and Meghan O'Brien take on the shifter.

I would have enjoyed this more if it didn't have so many chapters devoted into the crimination investigation scene from Eve's PoV since it felt really flat.
