Wild Night Ebook copy (1)

He never realized the woman of his dreams is his lifelong frenemy…

After a few too many drinks at a Halloween party, Kelli spends the night in the arms of a man who rocks her world. However, when she learns her mystery Mr. Right is Mr. Hell No, Colm Collins, she’s ready to run for the hills. He’s more than a confirmed bachelor and highly regarded lawyer–not to mention the best sex of her life.

He’s also her least favorite person alive.

But Colm refuses to accept just one wild night with her. He wants them all–and this sexy man plays dirty.

 

 

 

I fell in love with Colm and his snarky attitude towards the Collins Curse a few books ago. I am so, so happy to watch him succumb to the curse and with the one woman who he abhors. Well, the feeling was mutual for Ms. Kelli as well. Oil and water become peanut butter and jelly and it was hysterical watching this train wreck happen.

Colm and Kelli have known each other since they were kids. They did nothing but pick on each other. After a pity-party night of drinking, they actually started talking to each other … civilly instead of sniping … everyone’s curiosity was piqued. But, they just blew them off. Some true feelings were reveled that surprised Colm and alarmed him as well. But, Kelli had a mind of her own and her decision was made. It’s no big deal to him but it could be a big deal to his family who look at Kelli as a Collins.

We all know how wild a crazy a party in the Collins Dorm could be. Especially Halloween. Costumes, booze and a black-out. How could anything go wrong? Colm is with a woman who finally agreed that tonight is the night. Kelli had a little too much to drink and just wanted to sleep. And, oh what a night they each had. Colm couldn’t believe that a woman who could barely hold his interest is his perfect match in bed. Kelli couldn’t believe her eyes when she woke up. First she was satisfied then she was mortified. What the hell did she do?

I laughed my ass off through most of this book. Yes, there were serious times but most of it was a comedy of errors that had me giggling and smiling. I loved this story from beginning to end and couldn’t have been happier that Mari Carr finally gave us this story. I love the characters that she writes and the stories that she weaves. And, Pop Pop … always Pop Pop. I love, love, love this man and I cannot fathom a story without him and will not be a happy person when he’s no longer around. Hopefully there are a whole lot more stories to tell of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Um, Mari, can we keep him for the great-great-grandchildren, please? But, enough about Pop Pop.

Colm and Kelli definitely belonged together and a wise old man told them as much in the end. They always told you to beware of the boy that pulled your pig-tails and they were right. Kelli and Colm took the long road to each other but it was a road that led to love and happiness.

5 stars

 

 

 

You never know what you are going to get with a Mari Carr Wilder Irish book; will it be funny and enticing, will it be hopeful yet poignant, will it be raunchy and wild, or will it be like Wild Night and be easy yet sexy?  Wild Night is an easy romance as the two main characters have known one another for 30 years, they have been frenemies  for most of that time, but all it takes is one wild night (hence the title) for them to begin to realize they have something good together.

I’ve always appreciated the verbal sparring between Colm and Kelli in this series and as it turns out it was really a lot of foreplay.  A blackout, a lot of alcohol and many, many orgasms leaves both Colm and Kelli satisfied and thinking they’ve found the one, not realizing its each other. Seriously the way their first encounter played out was pure genius on Ms. Carr’s part and their assumptions of who they spent that night with left them both a bit shaken.

What I loved is that there really wasn’t a lot of drama between these two once they figured out they’d slept together.  They ended up spending time and really getting to know one another better than they already did leaving no doubt in Colm’s mind that the “Collins curse” had struck him, but Kelli has a plan and he doesn’t fit into it leaving him to figure out a way to get her to change it.

Filled with so much love, joy, friendship, and family, I adored Wild Night. Low on angst and lots of hot, raunchy sexy times this book was just what I needed at this point in time.

Excerpt

 

“Well, I guess I should—”

“Invite me up.” There wasn’t a hint of request in his words, so of course, it tweaked Kelli just enough that she’d deny herself what she wanted—him in her bed tonight—just to put the man in his place.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

Though the two of them had gone out for dinner a couple of nights this week, they’d met at the restaurants and managed to not talk about Halloween or that fucking hot as hell interlude in the bathroom last Sunday.

“Kell,” he said, his gaze heated…hungry. “Invite me up. Now.”

“You know,” she said, turning away from him, not surprised when he followed, “it would serve you right if I sent you packing, you cocky bastard.

“But then you’d suffer too.”

She glanced over her shoulder to make sure he could see her rolling her eyes. “I’d hardly suffer. You’re not that—”

Colm cut her words off with a firm smack on the ass. “You go to hell for lying, Kell.” And then, to punctuate that, he smacked her again.

“Ouch,” she said through clenched teeth, trying not to recall how he’d done the same thing the night of Halloween and how much she’d fucking loved it. She punched in the code to her apartment building and led him inside.

“That was just a warm-up,” he warned.

He’d certainly warmed up her ass, but she wasn’t about to admit that. Or how much she wanted him to make it burn.
