In what feels like a moment, Beatrice Edmund goes from being a proper lady cooped up in a stuffy Scottish castle to travelling miles from anything she's ever known, in the midst of the wildest adventure of her life. And at the centre of that adventure is the most infuriating, puzzling scoundrel on earth. She cannot take her eyes off him. Colin Fitch cannot deny he's drawn to Beatrice - but lust is all he could possibly feel for the sharp-tongued minx. Still, if there's a chance she can help him stop the madman he pursues, he must withstand her obvious disapproval. Yet withstanding the longing he feels for her is growing more troublesome by the second. And Colin has never been terribly good at staying out of trouble.

By Blodeuedd
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Plot:
Leo and Ella, the couple we met in Wild Heart is back, well sort of back. They went to India in search of a statue, and answers. With them went Leo's cousin Bea. The book starts with a bang, Bea in her room when a stranger appears, Ella's cousin Colin. And they are in for a rocky start, she dislikes him and he thinks she is so English, all prim and proper. But soon they all must leave. There is danger concerning the statue and they are not the only ones looking. Little by little Bea and Colin are brought closer and closer together.
My thoughts:
It was fun to see Leo and Ella again, even if they were just introduced before they went away. This is Colin and Bea's book after all. Colin is all American; he is used to being on his own and always moving around. Not to mention that just like his cousin, he too has a power, one hard to believe. Bea is nice, innocent, and she questions things a lot. But soon she sees the beauty of India and becomes quite the adventurer. They are so very different from each other, but thrown together in a time of turmoil they find comfort in each other.
This is a paranormal romance, and the paranormal comes from that Colin, and Ella have got powers. And as it shows in this book they are not the only ones. The statue they look for is supposed to hold riches, and a key to this is are the rings that they have in their possession, or had.
One does not have to read Wild Heart to understand Wild Desire; it starts as its own book and explains the things that need to be explained to follow along. Of course it's more fun to know what happened back in England with Ella and Leo, and how this whole journey got started.
Colin is a sweetheart, he may not even act like that, but his heart is so big, and I realize how big after reading on. He is also very wounded by the past. Bea may be different in the way she acts but she also has wounds, from being exiled to Scotland with her grandmother. For them to be together seems impossible, she is destined to marry a man of wealth and title, and he has nothing. And there is the desire, it's wild, and it gets only wilder as you read on.
Recommendation and final thoughts:
This book is all it promised to be, it has passion, adventure as they escape through India, danger, evil villains that only wants power and money, and a couple who doesn't know how on earth they will stand each other in the beginning.

So, this story was very interesting. It was sort of that edge of your seat story where the hero and heroine are constantly in and out of danger. You're wondering what's going to happen next, how they will escape their situations, and for that reason only I gave the book three stars. Otherwise, I was pretty frustrated. There is no explanation regarding why these people are searching for this statue, what this statue does, why they have these extraordinary powers and why the heroine is so important to everyone. It was very aggravating. The heroine was kept in the dark the entire story, and instead of explaining what was going on, the author simply says, 'Oh you know what's going on, Bea.' Really?!! Deep down in her heart, she supposedly knows what's going on. Well guess what Ms. Brighton, we don't! You go on this ride with the author and then she just straight leaves you hanging at the end. It completely ruined the book for me. It was a huge let down. You had all these charactors that were popping up supposedly to add some sort of value to the story when really they just confused and added more questions that the author never answered. So, nice plot, nice charactors, crappy ending.

I won't go into detail about the plot, you can read the other reviews for that. I'm writing this review for one reason and one reason only, as a warning--this heroine will annoy the bejesus out of you. If you're anything like me that is. Although, I will say that for some reason I haven't put it down. It's like a teeter-totter. One second you want to shake her until her teeth clack together, and the next she does something that makes you think that she isn't so bad after all. I'm a little more than halfway through, and I don't see this pattern changing anytime soon. I wouldn't say that the book is not worth the read, but I would recommend borrowing it from the library before you decide to spend your money. Who knows, you might have a higher tolerance for nonsense than I do.
