Book Description

June 29, 2004
Let's go crazy!

Successful Claudia Barrett seems to be doing it all right. She's a vice president at her firm, with an engagement ring on her finger from the man who's loved her since high school. So what if she's been wearing it for five years -- and her classic, expensive, dull everyday outfits make her look like someone fatally allergic to a good time?

What exactly is wrong with the girl?

She's bored, for one thing. She's thirty years old and in a rut -- and best friend, Pam, thinks it's time Claudia got her freak on. It's time to inject a little action, adventure, and good old-fashioned lust into this sister's life. But practicing what Pam is preaching and going buck wild could have some serious consequences, especially when tall, dark, and dangerous Cody is added to the mix.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little crazy..., September 7, 2004
By 
The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Going Buck Wild (Paperback)
Claudia Barrett, a young, up and coming professional, has been engaged to Jackson Baxter for five years. Although she claims she loves him and does want to marry him, she has been hesitant about setting the date. After five years, Jackson finally gets fed up and calls off the engagement, much to Claudia's dismay.

Cody, a young man who works in the same office building as Claudia, has been attracted to her since he first laid eyes on her. When he hears that Claudia is no longer engaged, he makes known his interest in her. Claudia is a little leery of going out with him at first, but eventually decides to take him up on his offer. All seems well until Cody's past comes back to haunt him.

GOING BUCK WILD...a racy title for a not so racy book. I'm not sure what happened between the conception and final copy of this book, but the title is very misleading. There is one part of the story where Claudia steps out of her comfort zone and becomes a little more daring, but nothing to the extent that the title and synopsis lead us to believe. All in all, this was a good read, with enough twists and turn to keep the readers attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellently Drawn Characters, September 7, 2004
This review is from: Going Buck Wild (Paperback)
Nina's characters are complex and drawn well, it is evident that she took some time to think about her character's motivations. If I were a writer I might have written the ending differently, but that is okay, my book club talked about this one for awhile. A good exploration of the line between admiring someone and stalking and a bold exploration of the dark side of behavior. If you are looked for a well plotted, interesting story, this is for you. It is not one of those books with lots of sex and no plot as you might think at first. I was pleasantly surprised and look forward to whatever Ms. Foxx has up her sleeve next.

3.0 out of 5 stars Going buck wild to nowhere, March 18, 2005
By 
This review is from: Going Buck Wild (Paperback)
This was easy reading to say the least. When you think of a title like going buck wild you think it's going to be filled with characters going buck wild. This does nothing. I was somewhat dissapointed. I was able to finish it because the was "just" enough to hold your interest.
Don't let the title mislead you!
