Sweet Wild of Mine features a wonderful romance between a reclusive writer covering a zoo's new polar bear cub and the town social butterfly.

Bestselling author Magnus Gray is looking to revitalize his career after his last few books didn't do as well. His subject will be the Sagebrush Flats Zoo and its' newest resident, an orphaned baby polar bear. Magnus is looking forward to the work even as he's dreading the small town gossip. Upon arrival he meets June Winters, one of the town's most social residents. After a disastrous first meeting, the two meet again at the zoo where a herd of fainting goats escape drawing the pair together. Between his work at the zoo and spending time with June, Magnus is beginning to think small towns may not be so bad after all.

June is the type of person who is always trying to help someone and she has a tendency to be pushy when it comes to offering her advice. June's pushiness could get a bit frustrating and I was happy to see by the book's end she realized she needs to dial back her advice. Magnus had a terrible childhood due to his abusive father and teasing from others in his small island town due to a stutter. Magnus turned to writing as his outlet and through writing about his hometown and later his experiences rescuing two polar bear cubs, his first two books sold well. Reading about Magnus's experiences as a kid was heartbreaking and I was happy that he was able to work through some of the issues caused by his childhood.

Magnus and June's relationship doesn't get off to a great start as he finds June pushy and she thinks him rude. June is used to men falling at her feet and when Magnus doesn't respond the same way, she isn't sure what to do to win him over. I liked that June had to work to gain Magnus's trust and that her relationship with him was different than others she's had. Magnus doesn't let people in due to his past, so it was nice watching June slowly work her way past the walls he built. The chemistry between these two is great and I thought the steamy scenes were very well done. There were some pretty big issues the pair had to work through for their relationship to work and I thought the author handled them well.

One of the best parts about this series is the various animals at the zoo. From the camels to the goats to the grizzly bear, they're all absolutely adorable. Like the first book in the series, we once again get scenes from the points of view of the zoo's honey badgers which are interesting to say the least. The addition of the polar bear cub added some adorableness and I loved the scenes of her bonding with the zoo's old grizzly bear.

Overall Sweet Wild of Mine was a fantastic read and I highly recommend this series for anyone looking for a cute contemporary romance series.

My first read of Laurel Kerr, and this is a funny, laughable story to the core! How can you resist a cute couple total opposites in life, a zoo full of eccentric animals, with a mind of their own and throw in some healing and love, you've got yourself a cute story.

A delightful read!

I have never read a book by Mrs Kerr until this one. I absolutely loved June and Magnus’s story. June is a bit of a busy body and has never met a man she can’t charm. Magnus is Scottish and a loner. June and Magnus’s first meeting was hilarious to me because he told her “ screw off” and that me putting it nicely! The funny part was how floored June was that a man walked away from her. That was a defining moment because June decided she would make Magnus talk to her.

This is a very sweet romance with Magnus finding himself and meddling animals. I struggled at first trying to understand Magnus’s accent/words but actually enjoyed it. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series.

I received an advanced copy for an honest review.

A cute premise, but the hero/heroine fell flat for me. The animals kept me reading, and I enjoyed their hijinks, but I needed the humans to be more engaging.

I loved being back in the setting of the Sagebrush Flats Zoo with SWEET WILD OF MINE, the second book in the WHERE THE WILD HEARTS ARE series. We are reunited with both characters and animals we’ve met before in the first book in the series, WILD ON MY MIND, though this book can easily be read by itself. This story revolves around reclusive Scottish author, Magnus, and June, a tea shop owner and jam maker.

June is taking care of her grandmother, or Nan, as she calls her, and it’s getting tougher. Nan is becoming frail, scared, and forgetful. Nan is English and has fond memories of Scotland, where she met her American husband.

Magnus’s memories of that area are unhappy ones. His mom left when he was just a young boy, and his dad was abusive and ridiculing. He’s not used to affection or communicating with others due to his stutter, but when he meets June, sparks fly.

Magnus and Nan hit it off since they have a shared connection to Scotland. He’s trying to write his next book and volunteers at the zoo since he has a background with animals, especially polar bears (and the zoo is set to get a baby one.)

There are a lot of stories surrounding the animals, who all have personalities and act as if they understand everything said to them. The characters didn’t have the depth to them that I expected, and I found June hard to like. However the plot and vivid descriptions of the setting made for a fun-filled, vibrant story. There is nice closure, especially with the epilogue and a lovely happily ever after.

I’ve enjoyed the two books in this series and look forward to reading more books by Ms. Kerr.

A surly, sexy Scotsman and sweet innocent Polar bear cub come together to teach a woman that all she ever knew about herself and her life was wrong. I have been looking forward to this story for a long time for these two exact reasons because I am a huge animal lover and come from a Scottish background so I always have a special fondness for those characters. I enjoyed the first in this series, despite all of the heavy childhood traumatic issues that were dealt with and was looking forward to a story that dealt more in the current and future, but this story also relied heavily on the family dramas to carry the day. Thankfully I can relate in a lot of ways to both of these characters and the writing was good enough that the story was carried through as June and Magnus slowly made their way through their individual minefields and the ones they encountered as they because a couple. Magnus has traveled to Sagebrush Falls to volunteer at the zoo and chronicle his time there as the works with its newest resident –the cute and cuddly polar bear cub Sorcha—in order to find his way back to his writing roots, but otherwise he has every little interest in socializing. Sadly he has no idea that June has set her mind to becoming his friend in order to ask for his help with her aging grandma. As they work together on their individual projects, they decide to explore their attraction, despite the end date on their affair, but soon they are in way deeper than either ever imagined they could be. When a true challenge to their relationship presents itself, they have to decide if they are willing to compromise and be together or if they will walk away despite the emotions that grown so strong between them. I enjoyed getting to know both June and Magnus, despite there being a few issues that I had with them both on a personal level. Magnus was a bit of an ass through so much of the story and I would have like more time to explore the reason for it, instead of it not being uncovered until almost too late, but once we know about his past we are able to forgive him and see that he was truly just protecting his unexpected vulnerability all along. June was just such a clueless woman, forging ahead and knowing that she knows what is right for everyone else without question, that many times I wanted to tell her to open her damn eyes and for once shut up and just listen instead of talking all the time. I understand that some people are just too social for solitude and quiet, but I am not one of them so she truly was an anathema to me to be able to understand her, though thankfully Magnus is able to appreciate her despite that lack of fully understand her himself. I enjoyed the fiery chemistry between these two from the very first page, though I would have liked more time for them to explore an open and honestly loving relationship before the ending. I am looking forward to seeing who comes next, though I have my suspicions and I will enjoy seeing this author grow and develop as she continues to produce interesting stories. I also LOVED the little side story for the honey badgers and look forward to much more for Honey and Fluffy in future novels.

2 stars
I hate when I don't like the main characters in a book. I know, I won't enjoy the book because of it. With Sweet Wild of Mine, I didn't like June. I found her to be annoying. And Magnus wasn't much better. It was formed from the start for me.

I am blown away by the wonderful writing, descriptions and dialogue, not to mention the amazing insight into zoo animal husbandry and the particular and interesting personalities of the zoo’s resident honey badgers, all found within the pages of Sweet Wild of Mine.

The author provided exceptional respect, care and consideration to a topic I have no knowledge of – speech dysfluency. There’s a naturally organic plot involving rejecting and accepting, hiding and being open to possibilities, fear and courage, with love and healing woven throughout. Ms. Kerr captured the heart of romance, the perfect balance of hopes and dreams among the landmines of traumatic pasts. In their own ways, both Magnus and June have broken pieces inside of them and they’ve dealt with them by means of various coping mechanisms, some positive and some stifling. The thing they have in common is not being complete, that something is missing but have no idea what it is or how to identify it. They’re pretty much clueless. Their first meeting was inflammatory and yet, it started something bigger and more profound than anything they could have imagined. My heart, emotions and feelings, were all engaged in this delightful and truly marvelous journey of love, forgiveness and discovery. I feel fortunate to have read this because it’s simply beautiful, fun, entertaining and charming.

Another strong element is the theme of family. Not all of it is good, especially on Magnus’s side, but most of it is, and it’s as real as it gets. I read so many scenes that I could relate to. June’s Nana reminds me of my aunt because they both are suffering the same kind of condition. What June is going through touched me deeply because my own family is starting that emotional journey, making those same heartrending decisions. It’s not easy or without pain and I could relate to June’s position on a more intimate level. The thing that touched me the most is how Ms. Kerr made sure that a reader felt the unconditional love June had for her Nana.

Magnus’s family situation is not only sad but when he revealed the truth to June, it was horrifying. The reveal was powerful, and June wasn’t the only person reeling from the enormity of what the hero lived through. I was also tremendously relieved that the hero experienced some level of reconciliation but I won’t reveal how, when or with whom. I’m just happy the author shared that with me.

The only advice I have to give about reading this novel is to have on hand a glossary of Scottish slang. I used the one from Wiktionary. The author was clever in her usage by having her characters utilize them naturally in conversation. I could guess on the meaning and more often than not I got it right. But there were some colorful ones I wanted to be sure of so I could enjoy all the nuances. I actually had fun learning some of them and found them so fascinating, I’m thinking of adopting a few into my own vocabulary.

I could go on and on about all the awesomeness that can be found in Sweet Wild of Mine, from the adorable polar bear cub, the camels, the secondary characters, and the sensual exploration between the sheets showcasing the physical side of Magnus and June’s love. Sometimes it was hot, other times sensual but at all times perfectly well placed and well written.

Romance readers are in for a solid treat, a memorable story and a remarkable and amazing romance between two characters easy to fall in love with. I enthusiastically recommend reading Sweet Wild of Mine for yourself.

June Winters and Magnus Gray fit the bill of opposite attracts.

June Winters was raised as a true southern lady, always a smile on her face and a helping hand and a kind word for everyone. She is naturally bubbly and folks in the small town of Sagebush Flats gravitate toward her. Everyone that is other than the newcomer to town, author Magnus Gray.

Magnus is more a...total eclipse to June's sunny disposition. Magnus was raised on a small, isolated farm off the coast of Scotland. Alone with just the animals and his father, who had no interest in his child other than the help with the farm that he performed. Magnus likes being alone, even as a writer he spends most of his time alone. The only reason he came to Sagebush Flats Zoo is because his publisher wants his to get back to his writing roots where he talks about his time around animals.

But when Magnus's publisher wants him to create an online vlog to re-excite the audience, he knows that the one person whose help he needs to seek out is the same sunny person he has been avoiding since she tried to welcome him to the neighborhood.

June loves to help people solve their problems and is more than happy to help Magnus, all she asks is the one thing Magnus hates doing - talking about his childhood on that isolated farm. It is a place June's grandmother is familiar with from her own youth and her mind has been slipping lately. June notices how much she perks up when her grandmother sees Magnus and she makes him a deal, a makeover and help with this vlog for conversations with her granny.

Spending time at the Zoo and with June is growing on Magnus but is he really ready to step out of his shadows and solitary existence that he is so comfortable with and stay with the vivacious June and enjoy her small town life.

I really enjoyed June and Magnus. They are such polar opposites but bubbly June simply can't leave Magnus to sulk alone in the dark, and while June is bubbly, she can't accept when she can't solve all her own problems. Her granny is getting older and starting to deteriorate and quiet Magnus becomes the sturdy rock for June when she flounders with her failure to save her grandmother.

I also like how the author deals with Magnus's stutter issue.  June's brother also has a stutter so she is very blase about it and let's Magnus work things out.  She doesn't make him feel bad about it, like his father did, and tries to help him navigate his blocks better.  It takes Magnus awhile to accept June's help but he does especially since he realizes that he doesn't stutter as much around June.

I am even warming up to the mischievous honey badgers. They do add a level of chaos to the story.

First of all, I hadn't read the first in the series before this. I blame my eagerness to request anything on NetGalley which involves something about Scotland, Ireland, UK... But thankfully that didn't affect my enjoyment of the novel at all, it could be considered a standalone. But I will definitely try and read the first now as well if I get the chance!

Both of the main characters have quirks that I found charming, some that I found infuriating. I'd go nuts if I had someone like June in my life who thinks she knows best and goes out of her way to do good. Her nosiness kind of bothered me at times, especially when she was told otherwise and still kept doing what she thought was right. It made her seem a little naive. But all in all, her heart is in the right place and she does help the struggling writer Magnus a lot.

Reading parts from the viewpoint of the honey badgers was a little confusing at first, but oh so charming in the end. It made the story much for fun and I don't think I've ever read anything like it. And the little polar bear definitely stole my heart! Made me wish I could go volunteer at a zoo myself.

I very much enjoyed the character development in this novel. It warmed my heart seeing Magnus opening up and trusting someone again, even though he definitely tried his best to avoid it all. Oh boy, was he stubborn. But to be fair, June's personality is pretty "in-your-face" and hard to avoid. But at least it all ended well, despite it all.

All in all, it was a nice quick read with a little annoying, but pretty lovable characters (especially the animals, loved it). Definitely recommend it!

Really liked the first book in the series and this one was good as well. I enjoyed this author and glad I found her. Great story and people.

Sweet Wild of Mine is the second story in the Where the Wild Hearts Are series. In this installment we meet Magnus, a best-selling author who has hit a bit of a snag in his career. His publisher thinks it would be best if he went back to his roots of being around animals and documenting his time in nature in order to pull in the readers again. So, he packs up and heads to Sagebush where there's a little zoo getting quite a bit of buzz. Magnus hopes that by spending time at the zoo, helping care for a baby polar bear, and laying low for a while, he will get back into the zone. What he wasn't planning on was a little firecracker pushing her way into his life and stirring everything up.

I love that this series deals with a small town. It's the kind of place where everyone knows each other, and it just feels like one big family. As with the previous book, we got to hang out at the zoo quite a bit. We are there when Sorsha the baby polar bear arrives. We watch as she grows, becomes more confident, and wins over the hearts of everyone. We also get to see some development with the other animals in the zoo as they thrive and live their best lives in captivity. I also really liked that we got to see the original crew from the first book quite a bit in this novel.

With all that being said, I had a tough time with this book. For one, it moved excruciatingly slow. I found myself bored a lot while reading this book. In fact, it took me two weeks to read, which is not normal for me. It usually only takes me a day or two to polish off a book. However, the slow pace of this one had me putting down the book a lot. I also had a hard time dealing with our heroine. She's quite abrasive and pushy. Right from the start Magnus lets her know that he doesn't want to be bothered, and yet she continues to push herself into his business. Whether it's chasing him down the street to ask him why he won't be her friend, to telling him he needs to cut his hair and shave his beard. June was just too much, and not in a good way. If the roles were reversed and June was a guy, there wouldn't have been one thing acceptable about her actions. I suppose for me, the chemistry just wasn't there for these two and the heroine's demeanor really turned me off.

I love that the author gave this story a twist by bringing in a new character to the small town of Sagebush. I'm a huge fan of the zoo setting and the fact that we get to see the animals develop and grow as well as the humans. I did have issues with the heroine and ultimately didn't feel connected to her or their romance. I also wish the pacing was a bit faster and maybe focused more on the humans rather than so many side stories in the animals point of view. However, I think that for anyone looking for a slow-paced romance with imperfect characters, this might be right up your alley.

SWEET WILD OF MINE brings us back to the Sagebrush Flats Zoo for another adventure with some very lively, opinionated and adorable animals and some appearances by old friends. If you haven’t yet read the first book in the series, WILD ON MY MIND, you could still enjoy this second story without troubles – although, I will always suggest reading a series from the start when possible for there are overall nuances that you’ll otherwise miss.

This time around we’ll meet Magnus, a Scottish author who is having a bit of a book slump and his editors have strongly suggested that he head for the Sagebrush Flats Zoo for some small-town stories to get back to his book roots. Magnus isn’t exactly thrilled but he shows up. You’d be hard-pressed to find a grumpier, more aloof hero than Magnus. Although your heart will ache for him when you discover the reasons behind his gruff exterior. June is a bubbly, people person who often comes across as bossy since she strongly believes that she is right about everything and people should just do as she says without argument. To say that attitude can be a bit overwhelming is an understatement, certainly, Magnus felt that way upon their first meetings. June has some family issues going on that will draw Magnus into her life more than he really wants at first. It was an enjoyable experience watching these two people fall in love and to heal each other in many ways.

As always with this series (so far) it is the antics of the animals that capture my heart even more than the humans and this time around was no exception. Add an adorable foster Polar Bear cub adopted by a Grizzly Bear and cared for by Magnus into the mix and my heart just melted.

I had fun with this story. While there are heavier subjects dealt with, they are part of life for some people and watching caring people help along the way was a major part of SWEET WILD OF MINE.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

Sweet Wild Of Mine

Where the Wild Hearts Are Series - Book 2
By Laurel Kerr
Sourcebooks Casablanca - June 2019
Contemporary Romance

Magnus Gray wouldn't have chosen a zoo in a small town to be the basis of his newest project. He preferred to live in anonymity in a large city, but it was his first books which had been based on his experiences of the small island of his childhood that had been the big sellers. His publisher wanted him to go back to his roots, or close to it. A small zoo in Sagebrush Flats was becoming an internet sensation, and he had been sent there to volunteer and find inspiration for what would hopefully be another best seller. He intended to interact mostly with the animals and avoid the human residents.

June Winters wasn't used to people pushing her away. She was cheerful. She was friendly. After living all over the world as a military brat, she had settled in town, took care of her ailing grandmother, and simply enjoyed all the visitors and regulars who came into her shop. Everyone liked her. All except the gruff Scott who rebuffed her at every turn. June was nothing if not persistent, and she was determined to work her magic on Magnus. Magnus grudgingly accepts her help with a project for his next book, and June quickly realizes that she is falling for the man. Unfortunately, Magnus has no intention of staying in the same type of small town he had once before escaped, and June had finally settled into the only place she would call home.

Sweet Wild Of Mine was exactly what I was hoping for, full of romance, emotion, friendships and the entertaining antics of the zoo's residents. Both human and animal. June was the perfect heroine to break through Magnus's gruff exterior, and it was wonderful to see him become more open. Sweet Wild Of Mine is a great addition to Laurel Kerr's Where the Wild Hearts Are series, and I eagerly await more.

Kathy Andrico - KathysReviewCorner.com

I loved this book. The premise was so sweet. A loner and author is told to go to a small town to find the root of his writing again. A young woman strikes up a conversation and he tells her off. There is the start of the story. Magnus is helping out at the zoo because he knows animals and they don't bother him.. The animals in this zoo are just as important as the humans. There is the sweet baby Sorcha (a very young polar bear that barely has her eyes open. The the honey badgers are a kick. There's a pregnant camel that is very friendly. Truly between the story of the two main characters and the animals, I couldn't put this book down.

Sweet Wild of Mine is another cute, sweet addition to the Where the Wild Hearts Are series by Laurel Kerr.

Magnus Gray is a well-known author from Scotland. When his latest books don’t resonate well with his readers, his publisher sends him to Sagebrush Flats in the United States to volunteer with their small local zoo. His first night in Sagebrush Flats, he’s accosted by perky June Winters and given a warm welcome to the town. The grumpy loner isn’t pleased to make her acquaintance.

But June isn’t to be deterred from turning Magnus’s frown upside down. When Magnus’s publisher tells him he also needs to vlog about his time at the zoo, he turns to June for help. And help she does...with more than just the vlogs.

I’m a huge fan of small town romances, and Sagebrush Flats hits the sweet spots. The side-characters add extra charm, and when people aren’t gossiping about everyone else, they are always there to chip in with what needs doing. The hero and heroine find love when they’re least expecting it, and as with the first book in the series, a good deal of the story takes place at the zoo.

This is a slow burn romance with an even slower paced plot, and the story is filled with lots of animal antics. LOTS of animal antics. While things started well in the beginning, I felt like it got bogged down in the middle with all the goings on at the zoo. Cute as all those stories may be, I’m here for a story about the humans. Thankfully, things finished up with a decent pace at the end, dealing with complex issues from the hero’s and heroine’s pasts.

I’ve enjoyed Ms. Kerr’s writing, but I’m not sure if I’ll continue with this series. I find myself needing stories to move along faster and have a little more grit to them. If you’re looking for a sweet story (with some marginally steamy times), this IS a series that I would recommend!

Avid Reader – ☆☆☆
M/F Romance
Triggers: Child abuse

This is the second book in the series and while you don't have to read book one to understand what's going on in book two, there are some repeat characters.

June is a vibrant, bubbly woman who loves her life. What she misses is someone to share her life with. Her friends are hilarious, and they have great sense when it comes to what June needs and wants.

Magnus, for all of his bluster, is just a softy at heart. He might have a gruff exterior, but he has spent his life hiding. What he can't hide is his love for the animals. And despite how much he fights it, he can't help but fall for the pushy woman who is always around.

With that being said, while the characters were well developed, I was so sad that I didn't enjoy this story as much as I had the previous book. There was just a lack of chemistry for me. It was so much before the romance that it became less interesting to read. The honey badgers were still hilarious, and you could see the change they went through was similar to the main characters, but overall, this was just a ho-hum romance.

June Winters was trying to welcome Magnus to Sagebrush Flats. But under good circumstances Magnus did not like introducing himself and this wasn’t a good circumstance. Magnus always stutters the M in his name even after years of practice. Magnus avoided small towns because of the endless gossip like this woman was saying about a couple who had just found out they were having twins. He didn’t like growing up on an isle in Scotland- no privacy, no boundaries, and no peace. He broke free and moved to London only for his editor straight into another web in a small town. Magnus had wrote his first book between working on an oil rig off the coast of Norway. He wrote about his childhood . He hit the Bestseller List all over the world. His second book was about how he rescued a couple of polar bear cubs that were starving to death while working on the ice. He’d kept the cubs alive until they could be relocated to a zoo. His fans had loved that story. Living in London he could eat, drink and write in peace. None expected him to converse or even make small talk. But the public didn’t like his wry witticism about city life. His editor told him to get back to his roots. Small towns and living creatures. He said he knew the perfect place for Magnus and told Magnus to go work there for a season. So here Magnus was. Magnus wasn’t usually the type to attract women. He longed for a big city where a man could find solitude among millions of strangers. Magnus had been abandoned by his mother and his father was a butthole. Magnus didn’t liked to be touched especially by a stranger. Magnus was a loner. Magnus stood up and lust speared him for June. Strong and heady and he didn’t want to head it. He pushed past the woman-June- and she wait she would replace his spilt beer but than he basically told her to get lost but swore at her. Magnus hurriedly left The Prairie Dog Cafe. June’s best friend Katie- the pregnant lady with twins- asked June what that was all about. Katie than told Josh. the three had grown up together and stayed close even though Josh had moved to California after college to start his own computer security company. Katie told June she flirted that's how she interacted with the entire male species. But when Mr rude- magnus- stood and stared her down she’d felt a thrill clean to her toes. Bowie- Katie’s husband- owned a zoo and said he hoped June didn’t scare the man off as he was suppose to volunteer to work at the the next day. Bowie was especially glad to have magnus’s helpo as he had an orphan polar bear cub coming to the zoo. Magnus just wants to do his work at the zoo around the animals and write his blog about it as his editor wanted. June is willing to help Magnus with his blog and stutter if he will find time to talk with her grandmother. Magnus finds as time goes on and the more time he spends with June he does like her and not so annoyed by her.
This book was a good read but I have mixed feelings about it. I did like the opace and loved the zoo animals especially Sorsha - the polar bear cub. But june and magnus just didn't spell love or romance to me. I was happy June agreed to help Magnus with his writing and stutter and that he could help her. I advise you to read the first book in this series for a smoother and more knowledgeable read. I did get annoyed at times trying to figure out what Magnus was saying with his brogue. I didn’t particularly care for June and even Katie felt that Magnus should just pretty much do as June wants. He is after all and man as well as normally a loner. I also feel June was a bit too touchy especially as Magnus didn’t like being touched. So as you can tell I had mixed feelings about this book.

I am always on the look-out for new-to-me contemporary authors. This happens to be this author's second book, and worked way better for me than the first to be honest. The reason: I loved the characters, the shy, awkward hero, the vivacious heroine and the animals too!

Magnus Gray is an author and a recluse. He is so not a people's person given the isolated way he grew up. But his new books aren't clicking with the readers so his editor wants him to go back to his roots. Hence, Magnus finds himself working at a zoo and crashing into June, who is everywhere.

June is his direct opposite. She is a people's person who keeps at it with Magnus. She also wants him to talk to her grandmother who came from his neck of woods and is struggling.

Honey badgers, a cute polar bear cub, vlogging and you have a recipe for a really great read which also delves into the psyche of both the characters. We see June realise that in her quest to fix everyone's life she often takes it too far as she does with Magnus, and then has to work on herself. I really loved this one and can't wait for this author's next read.
