I’m free. Fucking free!
I’m in college with my best friends and far, far from home!
With my Scheuermann’s disease as the excuse, my father kept me locked up at home all through high school. Here in Deepsilver, I can finally be me, Pandora, so—
Why the hell should I hold back?
They accept our fake IDs at Smother, our local haunt. I’m the life of the party, everyone loves me—hell, I could get away with murder in this place! Drunk off my ass, I dance on the bar, and—
I’m on top of the world!
I need to get my shit together, though. If I don’t pull off good grades, my father won’t pay my tuition. There’s no way I’m moving back into his “fortress.”
At the bar, I set my eyes on a gorgeous stranger. My plans don’t involve him long term; one night should be enough. But Dominic is more than I bargained for. God, I’m so drawn to this man. My skin hums at his touch because—
He expels the shadows of my past and replaces my pain with desire.
Perfect Dominic. Beautiful, graduating, soon-to-move-on-with-his-life Dominic.
I’m a wild child. A hot mess. Not grownup and focused like him. He’s addictive, and I am weak, but—screw this; I can wean myself off him! With the right antidote—
Addictions can be broken
Wow! Pandora sure lived up to being a wild child…
Pandora Wild Child follows the story of Pandora and Dominic. Pandora has lived her entire life, sheltered. Now, she is off to college with her three friends and is finally free of her parents watchful eyes. So, what does one do when they’ve been sheltered for their entire life??? They party, of course. Pandora’s free spirit and carefree attitude can’t help but draw people into her…..The only thing holding Pandora back is her Scheuermann’s Disease. If Pandora over does it, she will be in pain and this is how Dominic enters her life for good….
Dominic: he’s just taking one day at a time, biding his time at school until he has to go back home. He is instantly attracted to Pandora and can’t wait to know more about her. He discovers that one night with her will never be enough. As fate would have it, Dominic works a side job as a masseuse and one of his patients is Pandora. In treating Pandora and keeping her pain-free, he becomes more captivated by her and wants to spend more time with her. But Pandora turns out to be more than he ever bargained for. Will Dominic be able to tame this wild child????
I found the story line to be very interesting. The characters had great chemistry and were easy to relate to. I liked Pandora’s spirit and how she wasn’t afraid to let go. She didn’t always make the best decisions, but I think it all worked out in the end. There was a bit of a love triangle between Pandora, Dominic and Leon. Leon was definitely the “bad boy” and is really intense. He knew how to show Pandora a good time and certainly kept things interesting…..
Pandora Wild Child was a fun, interesting read. I enjoyed watching Pandora come into her own and discover who she really is. This book does discuss some tough issues and did have a little dark tone at times. Other than that, I though that Pandora Wild Child had some nice angst, hot chemistry and definitely steam. And I’m happy to report that it does not end with a cliffhanger 🙂
