Publisher's summary

There are worse things than getting trapped in a cabin during a blizzard with her best friend’s big brother, hockey star Elio!

Gianna, queen of to-do lists, clean freak, organizer extraordinaire, has her future all figured out. Dream job at 24, engaged at 26, married at 28, first baby at 30. And she’s on her way to achieving that…sort of. She has a job, though it’s not a dream, and she even thought she had her guy. That is, until he dumped her just short of that engagement ring deadline.

Enter Elio Moretti, king of the ice, the playboy hockey star who lives his life just one day at a time. When Gianna and Elio are trapped in his family’s cabin during a blizzard, the concept of opposites attract is put to the test. Until the tequila comes out.

Their steamy one-night stand throws Gianna’s original plan out the window—and now, she only has nine months to come up with another one. Lucky for her, Elio is very good at thinking on his feet, and calls a play that just might give her everything she wants.

Short but steamy

Wild and Wicked was a short but steamy read. It was well written, until the end. It just ended, leaving so much untold. Theo Sinclair and Marina Barrett did a great job narrating.

Sweet and Steamy Romance!

This is the fourth book in the Italian Stallions Series, a Contemporary Romance. I love this series! Elio and Gianna's story is sweet, steamy, and heartwarming. Elio, a hockey player, is handsome, and very supportive. Gianna is beautiful, kind, and smart. This is a great best friend’s big brother romance. Theo Sinclair and Marina Barrett did a great job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to Hot and Heavy, the next book in the series. #PFPAudio

Short and Steamy

This is a sweet and steamy romance. Elio and Gianna are complete opposites but complete each other perfectly. This is definitely a swoon worthy story as these two find their HEA.

Theo Sinclair and Marina Barrett did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. I really enjoyed listening to them and they emotuons they brought to the story.

Love Reformed Playboys and the Woman That Changes Him

Love this trope of the man who never commits to one woman, plays the field with only one night stands..starts to feel the emptiness of the life and then meets the woman who changes it all
Mari Carr has been doing a wonderful job with this series, each book with their own unique and loving relationships
Elio is a hockey player, so we get the player athlete, yet he is a good man. Gianna is a friend of Eliot’s sister and has just had a breakup from a long relationship when they have a forced time together and fall for each other- yet neither is sure of the other due to little communication, some misunderstandings and assumptions
Live this couple and loving this series..looking forward to more
Perfect narration and narrators!

New author/narrators for me

I am super fond of older brother's best friend/best friend's little sister trope. This doesn't quite qualify, but it is sister's best friend/best friend's older brother. It's also close proximity. And let's not forget the surprise pregnancy. And finally, sports romance. This story has a lot going on in it. Overall a cute listen. I enjoyed the family dynamics and the friendships.

This was my first Mari Carr book and I think I need to go back and listen to the rest of the series.

Theo Sinclair and Marina Barrett are both new narrators to me. I enjoyed listening to their voices and their takes on the characters.

It was ok

I love sports romance but this one was just ok. The story was short and half of it was the H and the h spent time in the cabin. It was a bit boring. All they did was talked and have sex. I wouldn’t use credit for this. If you want to listen, wait until it’s on sale.

Best of the Italian Stallions series! ❤️

I loved this story of Gianna and Elio so much!!  Elio Moretti is hurt from playing professional hockey, so he is back at the family parties and kisses Gianna under the Mistletoe after Keeley tells them they have to.  It was a very steamy kiss and they both are thinking about it during the party, but no one else saw the kiss.  Gianna and her boyfriend of 11 years just broke up so she went up to the Moretti cabin in the Poconos to forget about things.  Elio didn't know that, and also heads up to the cabin for some down time before he heads back to playing hockey.  Neither know the other will be there and they get snowed in. Mix in some tequila and vodka and sexy things happen between them.  They spend the rest of their time there together and you just can’t help but fall in love with them as a couple.  There are no promises as they leave and go back to their lives.  You have to listen to this book to find out the rest.  I just loved the both of them so much!  Gianna and her naive sweetness and Elio being a “player” but being so sweet and loving.  Their friends and his family are so awesome!  Theo Sinclair and Marina Barrett did an amazing job with the narration and were spot on with all the emotions.  I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

A Surprise Pregnancy Hockey Romance

Wild and Wicked by Mari Carr is a surprise pregnancy hockey romance that I listened on audio narrated by Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair. This is the fourth book in the Italian Stallions series.

I loved the relationship between Elio and Gianna. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of views throughout the story. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Hot and Heavy to be released on July 18, 2023, so I can get Kayden, Aldo, and Hazel's story.

Theo and Marina did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like one night stand romances, surprise pregnancy romances, hockey romances, or contemporary romances.

hot and wicked!

I love the family dynamics Mari Carr has developed in this series.
Elio Moretti, pro hockey player, confirmed bachelor, no commitment, no relationship until he kissed Gianna under the mistletoe. Sparks flew for both.
Gianna is upset after her boyfriend of 11 years cheated on her. Her best friend, ,Elio sister, offered the family cabin for her to use over the holiday season.
Elio has a lot on his mind, He is contemplating to hang up his skates after his contract is over.
The best place to think, is his family's cabin.
A snow keeps them confined in the cabin. sparks fly, hot and steamy.
Theo Sinclair and Marina Barrett narration is so good. They tell the story with so much emotion, they bring the story to life. a very enjoyable listen.
