Blurb:


She has the right to remain silent because whatever she says--men will do.


Hollyn Oates has a knack for finding treasure. She fancies herself a female version of the movie archaeologist that rhymes with Jindiana Bones. Just one problem—she can't talk. Well, as a powerful half-siren, half-witch, she could—if she wanted to mesmerize every male within a twenty-foot radius. So, she lives by the silence is golden, and Duct Tape is silver philosophy and continues successfully hunting treasure. Just one thing scares her—her father. A warlock who wants her tears to enhance his magic, he's willing to do just about anything to get them, and unfortunately, he's hot on her trail. If only she had an amulet to protect herself.

Kai Iona is a pilot-for-hire discovering new magical abilities each day, but he still doesn't know exactly what type of supernatural creature he is. Abandoned on a Hawaiian beach at birth, he only had a simple shell with an emblem carved into the side of it as a clue. Now, he's been hired to fly Hollyn Oates, who is "not to be confused with the band," to an island in the Atlantic to find an amulet with the exact same emblem carved into it. It's the first lead he's had, and he's ready to chase it.

These two will hunt for the greatest treasure of their lives. Could be an amulet; could be love. But one thing is for sure, it's going to be A Real Wild One.

My Review:

A Real Wild One is the first book in the new series Wild in Love by author Cherie Marks and it is also a part of the Magic and Mayhem Universe. A Real Wild One grabbed me with the summary well, truthfully it was the author.

But I must say once I started reading A Real Wild One I was pulled into its depths from the first page and I don’t think I came up for air until the last page was read as Hollyn Oates and Kai Iona took me on a wild ride with lots of danger into between as there was not a dull moment to be had.

Hollyn was being held captive by her father well until she escaped that is. Her father kept her locked up as he wanted her tears for his own ill gain. When Hollyn escaped she went on a treasure hunt. She needed a certain amulet to help stop her father for good.

In her search for the amulet is where she met Kai, a pilot. Hollyn hired Kai to fly her to an island in the Atlantic where she could hopefully find this amulet and put a stop to her father once and for all.

Kai is told that Hollyn can’t speak. Why he does not know. But Hollyn’s secret is that she is a powerful half-siren, half-witch, and can mesmerize every man within a twenty-foot radius of her if they hear her voice.

Kai agrees to fly Hollyn where she wants to go even though he does not know what her true intentions are. Kai believes that the amulet she is looking for may be a clue to who he is. Kai was abandoned as a baby and has no clue where he came from or who he is.

Yeah, Kai and Hollyn kept me on my toes with all their treasure hunting and the perils they found themselves in along the way. I felt as if I was flying on a pirate ship as they fought with a group of men that Hollyn’s father had sent to capture her. I was mesmerized by it all as I took in the scenes that took place in my head which by the way was very easy as the descriptions were so vividly written.

I can’t wait to see this series, Wild in Love continue with the next story to see what lies ahead in this wild and crazy world.

I highly recommend that you grab a copy of A Real Wild One today and join in on all the adventure!  


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:



It all started with an old fashioned typewriter. When my family brought it home, I knew what I wanted to do. All those stories rolling around in my head could finally get out. The press and click of the keys were satisfying in their own right, but when I pulled out a finished page, I knew this was for me. Since then, I’ve graduated to a laptop, but the stories still find a way out.

I’m a breast cancer survivor, a teacher, a wife, a mother, and from the very beginning—a storyteller. Always a hint humorous and honest to a fault, I love to make people laugh, smile, and have “a-ha” moments. My goal in life is to achieve tact and stop procrastinating. The battle wages on.
