    This was a wonderfully romantic book. These two have been in love with each other since early teenage years. Brindle Montgomery and Trace Jericho are the ultimate “it” couple in their small town. Brindle is a 25 year old woman that loves to party at the creek, dancing on Tuesdays at the local bar on Girls’ Night Out and being with Trace. She is an English teacher at the local high school but she has problems with communicating with Trace though. Trace for his part is a 28 year old cowboy that didn’t go to college as he didn’t want to be away from Brindle or the ranch for long. He now helps to run the family ranch with another brother and sister due to his father’s health. Trace loves his monthly early morning horse riding with his brothers and loves his Mustang (his pet name for Brindle). Brindle returns to Oak Falls after an extended stay in Paris, France. She is pregnant and she goes to the Jerichos’ barn bash to tell her family and Trace. Unfortunately Trace jumps to the wrong conclusions as to the paternity and the book really starts with glimpse into their relationship. I adored how these two get over the misunderstanding and how they work on their relationship. It was a refreshing change to see the continued growth of these two and the lengths they went to to work on the relationship and themselves. While this is a part of a series, you don’t have to read in order to comprehend this story. Also it is a sexy read. I highly recommend this to anyone over the age of 18.

    I loved Brindle and Trace’s story! Brindle was always the wild child who didn’t want to be pinned down. She returns from her trip to Paris with a bun in the oven and sets the small town rumor mills on fire. “I like hearing you say I’m yours... Then tell me again so I can hear it in my dreams.” Trace and Brindle really needed to grow throughout this story. They have always had a wild on again/off again relationship. They both need to learn to forgive and allow themselves to just love each other. I loved the narration. Savannah Peachwood has become one of my favorite narrators. -4.5 Stars!-

    I listened to the audiobook as well as having read this book that brings the Braden and the Montgomery clans together. Savannah Peachwood and Brian Pallino were new narrators for me, but I have to say they did a wonderful job of bringing these two lovers to life and added so much to the story telling. Trust and communication are two things that both Brindle “Mustang” Montgomery and Trace “Cowboy” Jericho desperately need to work on. They have a non-traditional relationship and are more than best friends with benefits since teenagers. Brindle is a wild child at heart and has never wanted to be tied down or viewed marriage the way other women do. At least that’s what she’s always thought. They fight like teenagers, lashing out at each other and pretending they don’t care, but pretending to be able to easily walk away is not working. Brindle takes a solo trip to Paris to sort out her life, leaving Trace behind. When she extends her stay this only hurts Trace further, being the one left behind. Trace has always played by Brindle’s rules, but this trip to Paris without him makes him decide he’s taking the reins from now on, until she comes back with a revelation of her own. Never professing their love for each other for fear of pushing the other away, hurt causing them to let accusations fly. This is how they’ve always operated, but clearly it’s not working. Each takes steps to grow up and learn to be better communicators starting with telling the truth. It’s not an easy path to take, especially for Brindle who enlists the aid of the married women in her family to help teach her to become a better communicator without running away. Trace for his part, is relieved to finally do all the things he’s wanted to do with Brindle, starting with dating like a traditional couple instead of just hanging out and hooking up, but he also has his fair share of growing to do. I really liked Trace. He was what you’d expect in a hero, but so much more. His pride more than anything else is what caused him to let Brindle think he could be tempted by another pretty face. When they both leave themselves exposed and vulnerable it’s touching and beautiful. Passion and heat is never a problem for Trace and Brindle, but it’s the time they take to listen to the other and the efforts they make to become the couple they were always mean to be that grabs your heart. As with all of Melissa Foster stories you get to see family and old friends and she takes you on another wonderful ride with Wild, Crazy Hearts!

    Loved the plot and the history of this couple! My favorite thing was probably his nickname for her, definitely the best nickname in any book I have ever read and his reason why was so perfect and not cliche at all!

  • Great Story!

    #TeamTrindleTrio, I really liked this story. Trace and Brindle were young loves bu grew up to Forever Loves. Brindle as considered the wild one out of The Montgomery sisters. She liked to dance and partly, she was herself always. She swore she didn’t want marriage ever, but life had a different plan for her. Trace has loved Brindle since he was young and he wa loyal as the day was long. But he played by her rules of no commitment. Seem a though as they grew up, their hearts grew bigger. The problem was they were having problems communicating that to each other. So Brindle took off to Paris only to find out she was.....oops! When she returned home they had to figure out life. That’s when she realized she had been running for nothing all these years. Trace was a MAN! Whew this is an excellent story. Covers a lot about men women and relationships and marriage. Friendship continue to grow throughout the town. 😆😉😍

  • Dynamic Relationship

    I absolutely love this story of Brindle Montgomery and Trace Jericho. They have a dynamic relationship that has been on again off again for years, since teenagers. They truly love another and care for each other deeply, but don’t know to communicate with one another. It’s not till Brindle returns from Paris pregnant with Trace’s baby, they really work on their relationship and their love is finally admitted to each other and Trace becomes the man she always knew was.

    Wild horses couldn’t keep me away from this story! It was original, thought provoking, hurtful, joyful....EVERYTHING you’d ever want in a romance! Melissa Foster excelled in weaving Brindle’s pregnancy into a meaningful, relatable story. Brindle is a wild, free spirit who doesn’t always think before she speaks. It took a lonely trip overseas to truly find herself. Even though her trip to Paris was a lonely one, she finally realized her love for Trace. Brindle realized she didn’t just love Trace, but she enjoyed his company and friendship. When she returns home, hurtful words are exchanged. Before she knows it, she and Trace have fallen right back into their same destructive behavior. Wanting the best for herself and her baby, Brindle vows to change her ways. Trace was a wreck while Brindle was away. He was hurt she didn’t include him in her plans, but even more surprised when she returns pregnant. Brindle has ALWAYS been “it” for Trace, but he’s always been too afraid to pressure Brindle for fear she’d take off. Even though she’s hurt him more than words can say, he vows to stick by her and prove to her how great they are together. Best story in the series! I gobbled it up in one sitting. Relationships are HARD work! They’re aren’t easy and they require a lot of compromise. You have to learn from your mistakes and break the hurtful patterns that can turn love into hate. I loved how Trace “took over” and started doing things his way. I also enjoyed the parallels between mustangs and Brindle. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the family’s lives unfold. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

  • Love this book universe!

    I just love that Melissa can continue this series in multiple sub-series that all intertwine and keep the stories going! Picking up where the last book ends, we find that Brindle is pregnant and feeling unsure of her feelings towards Trace after their longtime relationship and how her life is going to change. After taking a longer than anticipated vacation to sort through everything, she arrives back home ready to talk to the father of the baby, Trace. What she doesn’t expect is that he assumes and accuses Brindle of being pregnant with someone else’s baby, taking all those feelings she sorted through moot point. The bulk of the book’s storyline is the two sorting through their feelings while also preparing for the birth of their child. Overall it was a really cute book, especially finally seeing the two of them end up together and happy after the back and forth for so long! Love this series, love this author and can’t wait for the next installment! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
