Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we're shining the book spotlight on the latest addition to the WILDSTONE series from author Jill Shalvis via William Morrow! It's a Contemporary Romance that, while a part of the series, stands quite well on its own, and all the better for it so YOU can dive in and feel like part of the gang....although some of the characters are having a hard time of exactly that right now! Anywho, let's make our way back to Wildstone for today's book of choice...

About the book...
When Maze returns to Wildstone for the wedding of her estranged bff and the sister of her heart, it’s also a reunion of a once ragtag team of teenagers who had only each other until a tragedy tore them apart and scattered them wide.
Now as adults together again in the lake house, there are secrets and resentments mixed up in all the amazing childhood memories. Unexpectedly, they instantly fall back into their roles: Maze their reckless leader, Cat the den mother, Heather the beloved baby sister, and Walker, a man of mystery.
Life has changed all four of them in immeasurable ways. Maze and Cat must decide if they can rebuild their friendship, and Maze discovers her long-held attraction to Walker hasn’t faded with the years but has only grown stronger.

With that GORGEOUS summery cover calling your name, how can you possibly resist a trip back to Wildstone? For readers, the obvious answer is YES...but for the characters...you might want to see exactly what they're stepping into, and why running the other way SERIOUSLY crossed their minds...
Once upon a time, they were tight as tight could be. Brother and sisters of the heart, they knew bloodlines were not all that made someone family, but when tragedy struck, guilt was taken unnecessarily, and deep seated insecurities rear their ugly heads...well, it's easier to run than to face your fears, right? Thing is...you can only run so far, so fast...and eventually it all catches up to you. Grant it, you don't anticipate the catch up time being your life's anchor's wedding, but hey...it WAS coming! Why not face it with pizazz?! Can I just say prepare for fireworks of ALL kinds? Yeah, SO MANY kinds because things are about to come to a boiling point and where there's steam, you're bound to find fire...
The connection these four had is enviable, but the state we find them in...so much less so. Don't worry, things begin to get sorted, but definitely not before they get much MUCH messier. We get the skinny on events as they unfold from all four of our main characters, which certainly gives us a well rounded picture to play with. Cat is their anchor; she always knew how to draw them together and make things right, but even she's out of sorts at the moment with the wedding (that really shouldn't be because though I love the puppers, Dillion was not growing on me). Heather is definitely the heart, but her reluctance to share her own hiccups over the last few years broke mine. Maze was a wild card, and though she hasn't truly settled her competitive streak, nor her take it all to heart ways, she's definitely grown...and still carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. Walker doesn't really have room to talk because HELLO...dude took off and ensconced himself in brick walls of another variety (military, FBI, the works!)...but he did keep in touch with most of them, so there is that. She plus he is also a highly volatile combination...as in hearts have been broken and could still break further, but they could also be the best thing that ever happened to each other if given the proper chance.
So many roads to travel, but all of them made better with true friends, true family by your side...and these four know that lesson inside and out. A great add to the series, and a great read for Contemporary Romance fans! If you've not picked up a
Wildstone book, or a work by this author for that matter, you don't know what you're missing!
