Wild Passion: Steamy Billionaire Enemies to Lovers Romance

I've read (and loved!) all of the Wild Irish books, so I was naturally very excited when I found out that Mari Carr was beginning a series about the children of the original characters! As Mari Carr is one of my favorite, go-to authors, I knew I would not be disappointed in this book. One-click! Caitlyn is a lawyer, and the granddaughter of Pat, owner of Pat's Irish Pub, in Baltimore, MD. The pub was started by Pat, and his wife, Sunday, when they first came to America from Ireland. It has since passed on to Pat and Sunday's children (all 7 of them!). Caitlyn and some of her cousins live above the pub, in the apartment that Pat and Sunday raised their brood in. All of this to say, there is history, memories, and emotions tied up in the pub for the Collins family. So when Lucas comes around to try to buy the pub, Caitlyn naturally sees him as enemy #1! Even so, there is an immediate, undeniable attraction between them, that convinces Caitlyn to give him a chance, even if temporarily. While Lucas is a cutthroat business man, who will do whatever it takes to get his way, Caitlyn is a giving philanthropist, who uses her Law degree to help those around her who need it most. They couldn't be more different, but the attraction won't let loose of Caitlyn, or Lucas. This story is packed full of emotions, both positive and negative. This family is supportive, loving, and just plain amazing. Lucas's family.... is not. It never fails to amaze me the impact that the Collins family has in these stories. Their relationship with each other opens eyes, and changes lives. I've enjoyed meeting the Collins kids, all grown up, and can't wait to see what is in store for the rest of them!

Wild Passion is a fantastic contemporary romance by Mari Carr. Ms. Carr has provided readers with a well-written book. Caitlyn is a lawyer but she's also dedicated to her family and the family pub. Lucas isn't tied to anything other than his business. When Lucas sets his sights on Caitlyn's family pub he also sets his sights on Caitlyn. Caitlyn and Lucas's story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle and a touch of suspense. I enjoyed reading Wild Passion and look forward to my next book by Mari Carr. Wild Passion is book 1 of the Wilder Irish Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

An engaging, sexy, quick, fresh, kinky story that is hard to put down. I finished it in a few short hours. It's very steamy w/ it's D/s story line. The characters seem very well rounded and wholly believable. I have always enjoyed Mari Carr's works, but this one is my newest favorite. I hope to read the others in this series soon.
