Description

There are worse things than getting trapped in a cabin during a blizzard with her best friend’s big brother, hockey star, Elio! Gianna, queen of to-do lists, clean freak, organizer extraordinaire, has her future all figured out. Dream job at twenty-four, engaged at twenty-six, married at twenty-eight, first baby at thirty. And she’s on her way to achieving that…sort of. She has a job, though it’s not a dream, and she even thought she had her guy. Until he dumped her just short of that engagement ring deadline.
 
Enter Elio Moretti, king of the ice, the playboy hockey star who lives his life just one day at a time. When Gianna and Elio are trapped in his family’s cabin during a blizzard, the concept of opposites attract is put to the test. Until the tequila comes out.
 
Their steamy one-night stand throws Gianna’s original plan out the window—and now she only has nine months to come up with another one. Lucky for her, Elio is very good at thinking on his feet and calls a play that just might give her everything she wants.

    Wild and Wicked is the fourth in Mari Carr’s Italian Stallions series, about the Moretti and Russo families. Gianna Duncan and Elio Moretti have never seen each other as more than the sibling of friend or friend of a sibling, but when the two of them end up snowed in together at the Morettis’ mountain cabin, suddenly they’re having the best time together, and not just in bed. Mari Carr writes these two people at a crossroads in a warm and compelling way, and the way they come to connect is fiery and fascinating. It’s pure pleasure to see them tangle with their own needs and desires, and of course, with each other. Wild and Wicked is a stellar surprise pregnancy, snowed in, big family story that is delicious from start to finish. Can’t wait for more in this series!
  • Elio and Gianna were perfect together

    This Italian Stallions series keeps getting better and better! Elio and Gianna are absolutely my favorite couple of the series, as well as one of my favorite pairings from Mari Carr in general...and I think I've read almost all her books. Stranded with one bed isn't my favorite trope, to be honest. Maybe because it's often those enemies/frenemies that are stuck together; again, not always a fav. But Elio and Gianna not only have a friends and family connection, but they are already friendly. Especially after that mistletoe kiss! that was HAWT! And while the smexy parts were, you know...super smexy, I adored the fun and laughter they had together. The connection this list making, slightly tightly-wound heroine has with the recovering-from-an-injury pro hockey player. They were both such likable characters with seemingly nothing in common, but them mesh in the best way possible. To me, that's what makes a great story, and Ms. Carr gave us readers that in spades! While I recommend the series as a whole, Wild and Wicked will remain my favorite for all the reasons I listed above, plus it kept a smile on my face from beginning to end.
