Wylde Fire
100 Proof Book 1
by Sarah Robinson
Sam Wylde is ready to prove he’s more than just the privileged son of a wealthy Southern dynasty.
Wyldefire Whiskey is poised to take Nashville by storm—and with any luck, overshadow the scandal of his cheating ex-girlfriend marrying his brother. The only problem? This gruff country boy has no idea how to throw a launch party that will get people talking.
The answer to everything might just be Holly Glen.
A party wrapped up in one tiny woman, Holly is tattooed, tempting, and exactly the event planner Sam needs to liven up his brand—and his life. He can give her what she needs, too.

All it will take is a ring on her finger.

Momma Says: 3 stars⭐⭐⭐
Wylde Fire has the feel of a small-town romance, which is one of my favorite romance tropes. This one, however, left me somewhere in the fair to middlin' range. That's not to say the story isn't entertaining, it is. And I really liked several of the characters. I do think that there were quite a lot of them introduced here, I suppose as a series starter. The problem with that is while we're getting to know everybody else, we're losing focus of the romantic couple who should be the focal point of this book. That's what I would've liked to have seen more of. I mean we get lots of Sam and Holly, and they have plenty of chemistry - chemistry between the sheets, on the table, on the desk - well, you get my point. And there's nothing at all wrong with a good, steamy romance, but I really wanted more of them falling for each other stuff than we're given. I loved the banter between them, and they felt like great friends, but lust and friendship don't mean love. It just felt like they went from fooling around and fake romance to madly in love without any of the fun middle stuff. That said, the story did keep my interest, and in addition to Sam's family, we have some angst for Holly. Angst that is sure to affect even the most cynical of us. Thankfully, that angst is tempered with wit and lighter moments, so it has a good balance. In the end, I did have a couple of unanswered questions, and I'll be interested to see if those get answered later in the series. I'm also keen to see how both the series and writing grow with future books. This one was worth the read, and I enjoyed the premise if not all of the delivery.
