Breathless

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This book was a long journey, about halfway through I was unsure on if I wanted to finish it but I am so glad I powered through. Addison & Tucker’s story is a collection of witty banter from a best man x maid of honor with forced proximity, frenemies to lovers vibe. This book touches on PPD and depression in general and does an amazing job of de-stigmatizing mental health care. This is what made me love this book. This is what saved it. Addi & Tuck’s story is full of crazy, spicy moments & lots of banter. I wanted to smack her and throw my kindle across the room the multiple times she rejected Tuck toward the end… but believe me, it gets better!

I love this series for the cameos of other characters from the Carter Hills series and them remaining true to themselves. You get little snippets of your favorites you were afraid of leaving behind when you finished the book.

I’ll definitely be following along with this series. Will I reread? No, simply because it’s a looooong book. Will I hype up the next book? Absolutely!!

I was given an advanced copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion. 💕

I found myself enjoying this story, although I think I still prefer Pink and Country. Addison and Tuck’s story is charming, sexy, and fun. Of course this story wouldn’t be classical Snow without some potentially problematic plot twists and drama. You do not need to have read any of Snow’s other Carter Hills Band books to read this story- so feel free to check it out if the story interests you (see the blurb below). I have so much to say about this story, but I’m trying not to give anything away. The only complaint I can possibly share is that I was going nuts reading the “ya” throughout the story; to be fair though, that’s probably because I’m a Californian 😂😭 I will remind you all that story is graphically sexual and is not meant for young teens or children.

Tucker freaking Philips!!! Wow! Emmanuelle Snow has written another beautiful, rollercoaster, sneakily emotional romance. Wild & Country is a totally wild romp from start to finish. Tucker and Addison have an instant, explosive connection. This one-night-stand turned friends-to-lovers story is a heartbreaking, steamy, and incredibly relatable journey. What starts as a bachelorette weekend hookup becomes an unexpected friendship and love for the ages. Addison is an ebullient, impulsive, brilliant personality. Tucker is a fastidious, fiercely loyal, playboy…until he meets the unstoppable firecracker Addi. These two will make you laugh, cry, and will melt your heart to goo. Emma Snow’s wonderful community of found family she has created in the Carter Hills series is stronger than ever. Their stalwart & true friendships are lovely and endearing. Emma shines light on real life struggles bundled in a charming love story. It’s possible I’m still in tears, but in a wonderfully cathartic way. If you love a whirlwind, yet slow-burn romance with amazing community, delicious spice and heaps of heart, Wild & Country should be at the top of your TBR.
