Wild Mistake

Wilder Valley

De: Kacey Shea

Narrado por: Robert Hatchet, Samantha Brentmoor

Sarah Baker was the first girl I ever loved. It didn’t matter that we were high school sweethearts, our bond was unbreakable. Or so I thought.

I enlisted in the military to make a life for us and she promised to wait. Only, she crushed my heart, along with our dreams, when she married someone else.

Every inch of Wilder Valley is etched with memories of her, so I stay away, building a career for more than two decades.

But I can’t stay away forever.

When I return home, nothing is the way I expect it to be. My family has changed, but most surprising is discovering that Sarah is back too.

Separated from her husband, she’s raising her two teenage boys, living with her parents, and waiting tables at the diner.

Curiosity draws me to her, but that’s not what makes me stay. From the moment our eyes meet, the feelings I’d long forgotten come rushing back.

I’ve never loved anyone the way I’ve loved her. Maybe fate has brought us together again for a reason. Maybe finding each other too young was our only mistake. Maybe this is our second chance.

Aiden and Sarah’s book is the next standalone in the Wilder Valley series. This second chance, small town, single parent romance features a couple in their forties reconnecting after almost two decades apart.

Great Second Chance Romance

I am always leery when I start a second chance romance, I am stubborn and I completely hold grudges against characters who do the main character wrong… luckily that wasn’t really the case here! Sarah and Aiden were both young when they made decisions that led to them walking away from each other. While they both broke the other’s heart, they willingly gave in to the attraction and friendship that was always there. Aiden wanted Sarah from the second he saw her again and he had no problem admitting that, it’s always great reading books where the male is the determined character that knows exactly what he wants! The petty and grudge holding side of me really wanted something to happen with Sarah’s ex… I thought for sure the kids would realize what a d-bag he was being, but no, Kacey Shea took the high road with her writing. I read the book when it first came out but listening to it now just made it so much better. Robert Hatchet and Samantha Brentmoor did a great job narrating, they really added something extra that brought the characters to life.

Aiden + Sarah forver

So glad to be back in Wilder Valley and with the swoon worthy Wilders 😍!! Each brother is more loveable and each book gives you all the feels. Aiden and Sarah's second chance story literally me chills and tears, it was written so perfectly. They both struggled in their time apart, but one eye lock in their hometown cafe and you just knew. Sarah was an amazing mother, who did everything she could to give her boys, Gabe and Parker, a good life in Wilder Valley. Kacey Shea, as a silent suffer, I personally appreciate the care you took in both researching and accurately portraying Sarah's everyday fight!! The last few chapters were hard, not giving anything away, but I totally fell more in love with Aiden during the last 7 chapters. I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Robert Hatchet, who both were the perfect Aiden and Sarah!

BEST story ever!

This is the BEST story ever!!! I love the laughs, the tears and all the feelings in between this one evokes! I like that these two have a old connection with includes smiles and heartbreak. The author does a wonderful job connecting me with both of these. The story is filled with many ups and downs. I could not put this down and read it fairly quickly since it is so enjoyable.
The characters are delightful! i really liked both Sarah and Aiden. Sarah has a lot to overcome plus a couple teenagers on top of that. She really is the star in here.
Aiden is a dream man! He is so kind, nice and he unassumingly sneaks into your heart. Plus he comes with the best family! Maeve and Jackson both cracked me up numerous times while reading this one.

Overall I highly recommend this book! It is the second in a series but it isn't necessary to read Wild Hearts first but it will ramp up your enjoyment of this one. I can't wait for the next installment in this series.

Emotional second chance romance!

I was totally captivated by this emotional second chance romance. Aiden and Sarah were high school sweethearts who had plans to be together forever. When Aiden left for the service, Sarah was heartbroken, but promised to wait for him. But life happens, and events cause them to move on in different directions. Now years later, they are both back home at the same time. Aiden has retired from the service and Sarah is a divorced single mother. Sarah's life is in turmoil and needs to focus on her two boys, not on the man she loved and thought was in her past. Aiden is trying to figure out civilian life when he sees the woman who got away. She is still the love of his life, and he is determined to do whatever it takes to win her back, for good this time.
This is a moving and tender story that kept me riveted and on a roller-coaster of emotions from beginning to end. I loved both Aiden and Sarah, they felt real and authentic and their relationship with her boys and their friends and family added so much fun and heartfelt emotion to this story. I loved learning the depth of their love and loss through their letters to each other through the years.
Robert Hatchet, Samantha Brentmoor's narration was fantastic. They really captured every nuance of these characters. Their depth of emotion, and delivery created a realism that was completely captivating, I was totally mesmerized by their performance. This is a wonderfully witty, moving, and steamy story that you can't help but devour as it captures your heart.

Second chances

Great job done by the narrators. They brought the story to life. A small town young love and second chances. When Aiden joined the service after highschool. Sarah said she would wait. Life has a way of making its own plans.
Aiden’s time serving is over and Sarah is back in town after a failed marriage. Can they just be friends or will all the feelings from the past come back. But can they make it work or will their past keep them apart. A great second change love story. Has been a great series and can’t wait for the next. I received an advanced copy for a honest voluntary review by Author.
