Loved the voice actors who brought Jade and Declan’s story to life! Note- I actually listened to the audible copy (it went live early) back and forth with my digital arc and the audible is so good. Highly recommend Wild Ever After, and the entire series really, to anyone who enjoys low angst sports romance that has found family and romance you can’t help but root for.

Still rooting for a J & E book even if it’s a little age gap taboo 😂 Plus, it doesn’t hurt the little teases of what could come next. I loved the glimpses at the other players and their partners from the Wildcat series and just those little tastes of found family love that Jenshak always sprinkles into her series. They are both dealing with some traumas from their pasts, so it’s interesting to see them trying to work through those as they navigate through a year long fake marriage. Though spending so much time pretending makes it a little difficult to not really fall for each other. They are both insanely attracted to each other, so this isn’t a TRUE hardship. So Jade is in it for her job and Declan is in it because he’s a pure soul who can’t stand to see Jade lose out on all her dreams because she needs a fake husband quickly, so why not him. Marriage of convenience turned, “I think I’m falling for my possessive cinnamon roll fake husband/brings color to my life fake wife.” Can’t beat it if you ask me. Jade and Declan absolutely stole my heart. Why did I have to start falling for my husband?

Thank you so much Valentine PR and Rebecca for a copy of this arc! It comes out on 2/7 ♥️ She grew up without any stable relationship role models, so she never thought she’d be in a position like she is with Declan. Jade is anti-marriage and anti-commitment because of her mom. When she calls, he literally jumps out of the shower, puts his clothes on wrong, and comes RUNNING. Declan is an acts of service guy, and there is nothing better. This book was fast paced, steamy, swoony, and had me blushing. But she didn’t expect him to be her actual DREAM MAN. For one year they’ll play house and married couple and live in his house. When her ex breaks up with her a week before the wedding, Declan steps up to help her out.

Declan is the quiet hockey player content with being in the background. Jade is a commitment-phobic vivacious wedding journalist documenting her upcoming nuptials. Wild Ever After is a marriage of convenience hockey romance where he falls firstttttt.
