When an earthquake hits California, Mitch Stone knows fate is telling him that it’s time to leave Denver, go get his girlfriend in San Diego, and try to salvage their relationship. Instead, he finds himself roped into helping his girlfriend’s best friend at an evacuation shelter.

Gwen Tagaloa is having a strange day. Thrown out of bed during an earthquake, she is shocked when she receives a text from her best friend’s boyfriend asking if she’s okay. She’s even more shocked when he appears at the camp where she’s volunteering.

Opposites in every way possible, when circumstances change for Mitch, he and Gwen learn that sometimes two wrongs make the very best right.

Wild For Him is a sexy opposites attract novella that uses a catastrophe to address a failing relationship and the reasons behind it’s failure. An Aftershock series novella, is is the companion piece to Wild.  Though it can be read as a stand alone, it does resolve some events left hanging from Wild.

Mitch and his girlfriend, Helen, have been slowly losing touch with one another after Mitch took a job in Colorado while she stayed in California. Though he knows deep, deep down they really aren’t well suited for one another, he is of the mind that he can fix whatever is broken between them. When he arrives in California, he finds himself searching out her best friend to make sure she’s okay. It’s here in the evac camp that Mitch begins to see that what he thought was mild attraction for a good looking woman in much more.

I enjoyed the story overall with its action scenes and emotional epithimies. The sexual tension between Mitch and Gwen gives off a nice forbidden vibe. Sorenson does a nice  job of building on the protagonists’ differences in order to show you just how well they will eventually fit together. My only qualm was I wasn’t 100% convinced that Gwen wasn’t more than a convenience for Mitch when he was hurt. I also wasn’t convinced that Mitch would have ever left Helen if she hadn’t told him it was over. Regardless, it’s a quick sexy read that fits well in the series.

Overall Rating: C+
