Wild Love offers a heartwarming romance filled with familiar elements that many readers will adore. The story follows childhood frenemies Ford and Rosie, who eventually become lovers, set against the charming backdrop of a small town. This classic trope is enhanced by relatable characters and sharp, witty banter that keeps the dialogue lively and fun.

Ford, the grumpy and guarded hero, reveals a surprisingly sweet side, particularly in his relationship with his daughter, Cora. Watching him go out of his way to make her happy was heartwarming. It was refreshing to see such a tough guy be so soft when it came to his little girl, and those tender moments really stood out to me.

However, I had mixed feelings about the sperm donor-turned-single dad trope. While Ford's protective nature towards Rosie was endearing, at times it felt like he had a bit of a hero complex, always trying to fix everything for her. Though I understand why some readers might enjoy that, it didn’t entirely sit well with me.
