Publisher's Summary

"I've heard that boys with motorcycles have less-than-noble intentions."

"Not a boy," Beck said. "And you heard right."

Luna da Rosa is America's vegan best friend. The self-made billionaire is a flower-crowned hippie whose Instagram feed is as popular as Wild Heart, her vegan makeup company. When she's not changing the cosmetics industry, she's dazzling her online fans with kombucha recipes - until Wild Heart is caught in a scandal, destroying her reputation as a cheerful do-gooder.

Beck Mason is the prodigal son of Miami's most notorious biker gang. But Beck left his criminal family to start Lucky Dog, rescuing dogs who need the most help...except the surly ex-outlaw never realized leading a struggling nonprofit with a ragtag crew would be so damn hard. They're in dire need of cash - and fast.

Luna believes working at Lucky Dog will fix her image problem and get Beck the money he needs. It's a win-win, right? Except Beck doesn't like the sunny, free-spirited - okay beautiful - billionaire. He sure as hell doesn't trust Luna not to use him just to make herself look good.

Sure, Beck's grumpy, stubborn pride and meat-eating ways irritate Luna. Even though his big-heart-and-big-beard-combo is dangerously sexy. And they really shouldn't have shared "The Kiss to End All Kisses" on the back of his motorcycle one night...

But as the bohemian billionaire and the burly biker give into their electrifying attraction, will their differences keep them apart? Or will they finally learn to trust their wild hearts?

Author's Note: Big, grumpy, bearded hero. Happy-go-lucky hippie heroine. Snarky banter. Opposites that don't so much attract as combust. Motorcycle sex. Steamy Miami nights. Four lady billionaire best friends. All the rescue dogs. Major heart-feels.

Eh!

Too long, story not that interesting and not funny in any way.

The best in this series was Crazy for Loving You by Pippa Grant. That one was hilarious.

A wildly perfect love story

Luna and Beck will steal your hearts. I am a huge dog lover and I couldn't get enough of this book. I think that anyone reading this is going to fall for the love that is shown between these two. I highly recommend this series to everyone who loves love.

good foundation but f###ing disappointing

the story had good potential but got to a point of why didn't they leave anything to the imagination. not going to bother with the rest of the series

Loved it

Oh my goodness the Audible just bring the whole story to life!! I would recommend this book to everyone!

Entertaining

So any time I listen to a story as long as it's kept me entertained Stirs emotions crying laughing it's a story well worth it. and this has done all those things

Swoon worthy

Beck played by Stephen Dexter was performed perfectly his velvety voice matched with his character. The pain, desire, hope in his voice made you see those emotions. Natalie was no slouch to Lunas as well. Enjoyed he storyline, especially with Lunas trying to get back to her original passion and finding Lucky Dog rescue. The slow burn of the Relationship is another combustible match that only Kathy Nolan can do. She did an awesome job. Definitely a must read.

Love finds Wild Open Hearts

The story line reeled me in from the very beginning - a vegan billionaire makeup mogul who finds herself embroiled in a scandal and needs an image improvement to help save her reputation and her company.

Pair this free spirit with a man who is as closed off as he can be due to his last and his parents' reputation as leaders of Miami's most notorious criminals motorcycle club. Fireworks!

One of the hottest, panty-melting first kisses I have ever read happens in this book. 🔥💥

There is a HEA when two people with the most generous spirits and kindest hearts find their forever together.

The narrators for this book, Natalie Duke and Stephen Dexter, were absolute PERFECTION in casting! They each had spot on voice inflection and conveyed every range of emotions that both main characters were feeling. Stephen Dexter's growly Beck Mason is the stuff of very naughty dreams!

I enjoyed listening to this book as much as I enjoyed reading it. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic Story

Beautiful cosmetics CEO, Luna has more trouble than she needs but with a loving heart reaches out to Lucky Dog, rescuers and rehabilitators of wayward pups to lend a hand. Luna meets Beck, Director of Lucky Dog and there’s instant chemistry.

This is a great story full of kindness and love for both animals and people. The chemistry between Luna and Beck is sizzling hot and quite steamy.

One of my favorite books of 2019, which has been further enhanced by the narration by Natalie Duke and Stephen Dexter.

nice easy listen

My first read by this author and I liked it.

I listened to this book in audio and it was a nice easy listen with good narration.


A self made Billionairess meets ex biker gang member who now gives sanctuary and training to dogs with the aim to find them forever homes.
An odd combination but with Lola being a vegan and owner of a cosmetics company who pride themselves on no animal testing, their relationship once they did get together, worked.

Wild Open Hearts, I would say is a slowburn Romance containing hot sex scenes.

Wonderful and sweet, great addition to series

This series is amazing. 4 different authors and 4 different voices but all just wonderful stories with laughter, love and so much heart. I found Wild Open Hearts to be less humorous than the other ones but that's ok. This book had so many feels in it. We're talking about a man who loves rescuing dogs so much that the sincerity bleeds off the page. I feel like the author must have this type of heart because how else do you write about this so sincerely to touch the reader's heart? I loved Luna and her growth, her recognition that in the quest to make her billions of dollars, she forgot the simple things in life. I love how her relationship with Beck brought her back to remembering the important things in life. I love the supporting cast- the employees at Lucky Dog, Luna's friends, the dogs!! All of them just made me happy and my heart smile. This was a fantastic addition to an amazing series. Read or listen to them all for a fantastic time.

I first borrowed the book through KU and read the book when it came out. Then, I was given the opportunity to request and receive this audiobook and my goodness. Natalie Duke was great- she had a beautiful voice and played Luna perfectly but also did a good job playing all the other characters too. And Stephen Dexter- smooth, gorgeous voice, calm but still full of emotion. I loved his reading and I'm so happy I had the opportunity to listen to the book after reading it.
