Description

The Wilder Brothers from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continue in this emotionally charged enemies to lovers romance.
It took two days for me to know Kendall was the one for me.
And it took two years for me to realize I had to leave in order to protect her.
When I walked away, I told myself it was for the best. But now we work together, and every time we’re in the same room, we end up fighting. If we didn’t, we’d end up naked. Or worse–spilling heartbreaking secrets.
If she knew the truth, she’d either walk away for good or convince me to take a second chance. The first thing would break me, and the second would break her. I can’t let either of those things happen…

  • A great second chance romance

    Always the One for Me by Carrie Ann Ryan is book 2 in The Wilder Brothers Series. This was a wonderful and beautifully written second chance romance. Second-chance is often a harder read for me but I loved how CAR wrote this one and we had just enough of the past to keep me intrigued and wanting to know their present story. Kendall and Evan had a whirlwind romance years ago but now find themselves divorced yet still fighting their love and attraction. Both characters had emotional wounds and situations they were working through, and I loved when Evan came around enough to really communicate with Kendall. I also really adore the relationship between the Wilder brothers and how they support and are there for one another. Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell are fantastic narrators and they really bring out the emotions of Evan and Kendall throughout the story.

    Evan and Kendall have history. And now they’re working together. With history and unresolved feelings and hidden love between them (but don’t let the other know). Theirs is a story of history, secrets, pain, and of course, love. Lots of it. All they need to do is work their way through it and back to each other. There is also danger around, so this definitely keeps you guessing. Look forward to the next one

    Always the One for Me is book 2 in the Wilder Brothers series. This book was about Kendal and Evan, who were married young and divorced. This was about them finding there way to each other and I loved the story!!

    This story was an emotional rollercoaster, i laughed cried and yelled. Evan and Kendall broke my heart. They are so good together yet could not figure out how to talk to each other. They were able to communicate with their bodies but words appear to fail them both. Once Evan made a decision that he needed to open up then the words flowed so much easier. Kendall wants to do everything on her own that she almost missed the opportunity to be part of something great. She was already a Wilder, she just needed to believe. So good!!! Don't miss this story.
  • Evan and Kendall find their HEA.

    Evan and Kendall had a history that Evan and Kendall had a history that was once love at first sight, but their love wasn’t enough and it ended in heartbreak. Fast forward to the present and the Wilder brothers need her to be able to continue their success in a new venture but will their past cause a stir or will their passion once again ignite to a deserving HEA? One click to find out in this newest addition that doesn’t disappoint. I love the sizzle and sass that brings Evan and Kendall to a second chance at forever with all the drama and heat level that brings their story to life.

    What a journey Evan and Kendall took to find there way back to each other. Their story was so emotional with ups and downs that made the story so entertaining to read. I’ve enjoyed the Wilder brothers series and I think I’m going to like the next book the best. I have a soft spot for Everett. Until next time y’all happy reading.
  • Touching, emotional rollercoaster story!

    Second in the Wilder Brothers series, this is Evan and Kendall’s story. Evan walked away from Kendall after only two years into their marriage. He thinks he’s protecting her. She feels shattered and broken. It will be another eight years before she sees him again. When Kendall takes a job as lead chef at the Wilder Resort and Winery, it is only a matter of time before she crosses paths with Evan. Both he and she have changed and, while the attraction is still there, so is the unresolved pain. Can they find a way to be something more without hurting one another? Can Evan talk to her about why he thought leaving her was in her best interest? And more importantly, can he open up to how the past still haunts him? Is Kendall willing to try again with Evan? Can she trust him again with her heart? This is a touching, emotional rollercoaster of a story that will keep you engaged until the end!

    PTSD, brain trauma from concussions, lost limbs these afflictions and more affect our veterans. Not only them though it also affects their families especially the wives. Kendall would have liked to stand with Evan but he didn’t give her the chance. This tale is filled with so many emotions. I was brought to tears by their stubbornness then tickled by Evan’s unexpected romantic quips. Kendall is a strong personality. She’s tried to get over Evan and has, mostly, she thinks. Besides their personal struggle an outside force keeps attacking the resort keeping them off balance. Can their smoking chemistry overcome the guilt and anger? Their HEA is hard fought and heartfelt.

    We finally find out the reason behind Evan and Kendall’s divorce, and it honestly wasn’t what I expected. In fact, I think it made me sadder than the ideas I already had floating around in my head. No, I’m not revealing what the issues were…but I think the more important part of the story is how these two broken-hearted former lovers try to rebuild their lives. Evan needs to push past his guilt and anger while Kendall must find forgiveness and understanding for them both. There are a lot of tears but ultimately love conquers all. While most of this book is about our main couple, there’s more going on in regards to other family members and those nasty Dodge men. Another brother embarks on a relationship, and we see glimpses of him and his lady…but it’s yet another Wilder brother who’s story is told in the next book. I’m loving these brothers and cannot wait to watch the rest of them fall in love!
