** Book Review- Surrendering to Hunt (A Wyoming Wilde Novel) by Jennifer Ryan

   

 General Fiction (Adult), Romance

They’re tough, tenacious, and sometimes tormented; they’re the Wildes of Wyoming, three brothers whose family ties are as strong as their wills.

The last thing lawman Hunt Wilde ever dreamed he’d do was fall hard for a purple-haired troublemaker like Cyn, who seems to be on the wrong side of everything. After all, Hunt Wilde believes in law and order, while Cyn is somehow mixed up with a criminal like Rad…the man who was once Hunt’s best friend and who is now his sworn enemy.

Then Hunt discovers Cyn held hostage during a raid on Rad’s hideaway, making him question where her loyalties actually lie. But Cyn knows she needs to hide her true motivations, or she’ll never be able to exact revenge on the man who took her sister’s life and turned her own existence upside down.

Still, neither can deny the overpowering attraction simmering between them, or the way fate keeps throwing them together. And when Hunt discovers the truth, revealing her secrets and putting her life in danger, Hunt becomes ever-more determined to take down the man who would take Cyn out of Hunt’s life forever.

 4.5 STARS

 This story started out a bit rough for me with the domestic abuse which had me wondering if I would even like this book.  But hold on..it did end up getting so much better.  It was definitely emotional but it also had humor and people who were there for purple haired, independent, sassy, unique Cyn. Hunt and his family turned out to be some of those people in her corner for sure.  As well as her best friend,  Shelby.  Cyn's mother wasn't one that was much help though.  She's in major denial about just about everything.  
A driving force in the story is the  search for Cyn's sister,  Angela and her daughter Lana.  Are they alive?  What happened to them?  Angela's husband, Rad has turned into a dangerously abusive man.  What has he been doing?  Is he responsible for their disappearance?  And if so, can they prove it?  A lot of questions that do get answered.  Cyn throws herself heart first into getting those answers and it puts her into several really dangerous situations.  Each time causing Hunt to almost lose it because he cares for her and has for a long time.  Prior to this Cyn gave him the excuse to keep in touch because of the speeding tickets he had to issue her.  When they start working together things do end up with some serious, detailed heat but also some sweet moments and witty conversations.  I smiled when she called Hunt, her Wilde man.
There is plenty of unpredictable actions that keeps you on the edge of your seat.   Rad has a serious hate for both Hunt and Cyn and you never knew when he was going to strike again.
It had a good ending and a new beginning for some.  
Something that also caught my attention was the hint of maybe "something" going on with Hunt's cousin, Lyric and Viper (a biker cub member).  Now, I want their story.
