Everything's naughtier after dark...

Four years ago at a film festival, Cici Fine met Cooper Wild, a man who turned her world upside down in the span of one deliciously perfect week. He was everything she'd ever dreamed of: sinfully sexy, intelligent, and incredibly loving. When the festival ended, they returned to their own hometowns with promises of forever. But Cooper disappeared, and Cici was left to raise the daughter he never knew about alone.



Cooper is finally thinking straight after years of being lost in grief from the tragedy that killed his father and left his mother blind. Now he's on a mission to find the woman he left behind--the only woman he's ever loved.



But Cici Fine is no longer a naive young girl. She's a savvy businesswoman with big responsibilities, on the cusp of a life-changing move. When fate brings the two together, they'll put the old adage to the test and find out if love really can conquer all.

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free for a Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to JB for letting me take part in this tour.

Cooper is the last single Wild brother. All the Wild boys have fallen in love and their lives have changed forever. What they don't know is that Cooper was the first of the brothers to fall in love.

Four years ago Cooper met Celeste (Cici) Fine at a film festival and he gave her his heart and soul. Devastatingly on the night they go their separate ways Cooper's father was killed in a home invasion and his mother brutally beaten and left for death. This knocks Cooper for six. He is so consumed by his grief that he decides that the best way to protect Cici is to push her away.

It has been four long years for Cici Fine. She's not the same person that Cooper left behind. Her life is not the same as it once was. She has responsibilities and she needs to be stronger than ever.

While I was sad this was the last in the Wild series I really enjoyed Cooper and Celeste's story.

This is the third book in the 'Wild Boys after Dark' series. The title gives an indication that this is Jackson's story. He is a photographer and co-owner of a prestigious photo studio.  He is what would classify as a man whore. He enjoyed women and had a special appreciation for leggy blondes. He did not believe in being monogamous. It was, for this reason, he failed to acknowledge his true feelings for his best friend Erica Lane aka Laney.
 
Laney and Jackson have been best friends for most of their lives. They had a friend with benefits arrangement which appeared to be going well. However, things began to unravel when Laney received a marriage proposal from her current boyfriend.  Will Jackson finally acknowledge his feelings and fight for Laney or will he let her go?
 
I was looking forward to reading Jackson's story.  I enjoyed it, however, there were certain aspects of the story that I could not wrap my head around.  First of all, I could not fathom how Laney's boyfriend was so accepting of her's and Jackson's relationship.  His actions indicated that he did not care for Laney, as there is no well-thinking man, who would be accepting of the woman he loves and wants to spend the rest of his life with sleeping with another man. I found this aspect of the story unrealistic.  It was evident that Jackson and Laney were more than friends. They behaved like two people involved in a relationship. It was more than sex between them as such I could not fathom why it was difficult for them to make it official. Their actions were frustrating to the point that I wanted to shake them both.  It is for these reasons that I was unable to give this story a higher rating.
 
The relationship between Laney and Jackson reeked of complications. Here we have two people who obviously love each other, but one did not wish to give his womanizing ways.  Jackson is the epitome of the adage wanting his cake and eating it.  He wanted to continue his arrangement with Laney but was not willing to commit to having a monogamous relationship.  I considered his actions selfish.  Why did it take a proposal from another man to make him see what was in front him all this while? 
 
Of all the books in the series, I found this one to be more sensual. The sex scenes were explicit and did not leave anything to the imagination. Their chemistry was off the charts.
 
To conclude, this was an ok read. I have to admit that this is my least favourite of the series.
