This Is Wild by Natasha Madison (This Is #2)

💛💛💛💛💛

This Is Wild scored a winning goal in my heart! A beautiful story about overcoming your past mistakes, even though you still have to overcome the temptation every minute of every day.

Viktor Petrov is quite possibly the ultimate book boyfriend, and will steal your heart with his triumphs and trials. Being able to see how far he's come, and still facing the continued aftermath from certain friends and family members is hard to watch.

Zoe Grant loves to irk her protective brothers, often providing laughter and mischief. Her resolution to never date a hockey player proves difficult once Viktor enters her life. The kind gestures and gifts she bestows him, come at the perfect times.

The chemistry between Zoe and Viktor is undeniable, but both of them keep their distance and fight being more than friends, for their own very different reasons.

At one point during this story, I literally had to put the book down to catch my breath and stop crying. I love that it shows the brutal honesty of addiction, even after the detox and rehab has ended.

I've truly enjoyed every story in the This Is series so far, but this one will definitely be one I recommend to others and revisit again in the near future. Beautifully written!

Summary: 
Zoe
When you grow up surrounded by hockey players you know one thing for sure, I was never going to settle down with one.

Heck, I didn't even know what icing was. I was too busy climbing the corporate ladder, becoming one of the most successful realtors in New York City.

I wasn't interested in dating or anything that got in my way.

First, he was my client and then he became my friend.

Viktor
My parents told me I skated before I walked. When I was eighteen I was drafted into the NHL third overall, playing in Los Angeles - the city of dreams. What more could I ask for? I played hard, but eventually, I partied even harder.

Five years later I was traded a week after I entered rehab.

There was no time for anything except my health and making sure I'd come out on top. I had to be better. There wasn't another option.

One of the rules of recovery was 'don't fall in love' and I made it a top priority. She was off limits in every single way.

Until it was too late.

One night, one decision, one act can derail everything.

When push comes to shove, I'm only certain that, This is Wild.
