Book review: WILD RIVER, by Laura Pavlov


Magnolia Falls #2

River & Ruby

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 I haven’t read many books by this author, and I was surprised by this one, since it feels different from the others I’ve read.  The author used the trope of enemies to lovers, and the main characters certainly started on point of war!

River and Ruby are not exactly enemies or friends, more like frenemies, united by love of Ruby’s father.  They have this sexy and playful banter between them, and when they are together it feels like foreplay, it’s so hot and fun.  The situation is a slow burn romance, Ruby starts very snarky and ends very caring.  I thought the book title was because of a river near town, and it turns out it’s because of River, who can be very wild at times.


I loved their sixty-second challenge, very hot and yummy.  Also how much they liked to make the other one laugh.  They were both broken souls, River because of the way he lost his parents, Ruby because of her parents’ ugly divorce which ended up having a selfish mother and loser brothers who constantly leaned on her to solve their problems.  No wonder she went away to study, she was escaping from her family!


River helped Ruby grow a spine against her dysfunctional family and demand some space and respect.  I loved how they helped each other and in being two broken souls they turned out to be a perfect couple, perfect for each other.  Great read!

Book review: KARMA’S KISS, by R.S. Grey

The best part about this book is that it’s a small town romance, and I love this trope.  Everyone knows everyone else’s business, gossip tra...
