I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Another great book from one of my favorite authors. Highly recommend to friends and family.

I loved the tension between Katie and Alexis in the first book and i wished more would happen.
Now both of them have their own love story, which sometimes led me to madness.
I wanted to grab and shake Alexis countless times. She is deeply scared of her past and yet she cannot stop her feelings for Katie and her growing love for this whirlwind.
When Katie is in mortal danger and she is about to lose her, she can no longer deny it in front of anyone ... what happened next is wonderful and yet full of stumbling blocks.
I fevered with the two, but also with Emilia and her own new discoveries regarding her past and her powers.
It really is an incredibly good sequel and i can't wait for the next book in the series to come out.
I listened to the audiobook in one day!
The speaker is just fantastic.
I know Keira Grace from other audio books and her rough and deep voice goes incredibly well with the characters. Very clear recommendation!

Jenny Frame's vampire series is my favorite of hers. I know that may be sacrileges to some who are big fans of her Court series, but I guess I gravitate more toward the paranormal series.

This book is obviously the 2nd in the series, and it does help if you've read the 1st one. Not only because you'll enjoy it more, but because Byron and Amelia have some good scenes that happen to continue a lot of Amelia's journey that started in book 1.

Also, be prepared for this one to leave off with a slight cliffhanger. I do have to say, I'm really looking forward to the 3rd book too. It's pretty apparent which two that book will focus on, and I'm loving it.

Now focusing just on this book, I thought it was a great continuation. Alexis is a solid, stoic character that I loved watching melt from her love of Katie. Having said that, Katie was my favorite of the two. It's pretty cool to see her side of being a human and living in the vampire world, but on top of that, what it's like to not be able to be with her longtime crush because she is human. Talk about an obstacle when Alexis refuses to be with a human and quite the spin on unrequited love (or what she thought was). Also, she didn't let Alexis boss her around which always makes me like a character so much more when they naturally seem like they'd be "weaker".

Overall, great 2nd book. Bring on the 3rd!

Disclaimer: I haven’t read the first book “Hunger for You,” but Frame wrote “Longing for You” in a way that made the story completely understandable. However, I do recommend reading book one because there is a fascinating paranormal rivalry storyline going on that I surely have missed parts of.

“Longing for You” opened with the jovial wedding of Byron Debrek and Amelia Honey, whose story is featured in the previous book. Duca Alexis Villiers (b. 1792) is scarred by her fiancée’s violent death more than a century ago and is not ready to fall in love again, but it is practically impossible to not think about the head housekeeper Katie Brekman. When Alexis keeps acting mean, Katie believes that her crush hates her. Meanwhile, Victorija’s Dred clan is teaming up with dark witch Anka and working to destroy the Debrek clan.

In the beginning, I disliked Alexis for her rudeness to Katie while acting like she belonged to her. But throughout the book, I slowly warmed up to her; she still isn’t my favorite person, but I feel like her actions were really justified, despite the fact that their communication could have been better. I enjoyed the sort of hate-to-love romance between the pair, even though they were in fact both deeply in love with each other before either of them said anything.

The paranormal world conflicts were what kept me reading non-stop. In this book, Alexis and Katie’s romance isn’t the sole focus. We follow Amelia’s journey of becoming a witch after learning that her biological mother (I had a bit of issue with the word choice “real parent” even though her adoptive parents were awful) was a witch all the while getting glimpses of Victorija struggling to be the powerful villain she was before some blood mania overtook her.

There were many POVs, and by many I mean a lot. During some scenes, the POVs shift and I picked up on a total of seven different ones: Alexis, Katie, Victorija, Byron, Amelia, Drasas, and Anka. I like that we also get the thoughts of the Dreds, but I would love to see more of the Debreks.

I really love that feeding is a very sexual thing in this book and that the sex scenes involve having sex while feeding. It feels very powerful and intense. I also love that in the Debrek clan, feeding is always consensual.

Frame’s “Longing for You” is a very solid paranormal story, and with it ending on a slight cliffhanger, I cannot wait to find out what happens next.

Alexis, Katie, Byron & Amelia...

I really enjoyed reading it 🤗 definitely need book 2.

4 star ⭐️ read.

I absolutely love Jenny Frame and this new release did not disappoint. I would recommend reading all the books in the series although you could read this as a stand-alone. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Was given this ARC for an honest review via NetGalley and publisher. Many Thanks!

I didn't realise this was the second book in the series so some confusion but not bad. I was intrigued initially by the cover and the appeal of vampires and romance indicated by the title

Longing For You is book two in the Wild For You series, sequel to Hunger For You. This supernatural erotic romance is super fun and sexy.
I did not realize when I started this book the it wasn’t the first in the series, and while I was able to follow just about everything without reading book one first, I highly recommend reading Hunger For You first. This book follows the unfolding love story of Alexis and Katie but it is just as much a sequel to Byron and Amelia’s story and still features them as pov characters. I enjoyed Byron and Amelia’s love story too even if I jumped in at the middle. Frame also did a wonderful job of covering the important stuff from book one, the only thing I was left a little confused on was the intricacies of the blood bond which I am sure was covered in more detail in book one.
I loved the world building of this series and the little nods to Frame’s Wolfgang County series for those werewolf fans out there. I love a good supernatural romance and this certainly fits the bill, with wonderful lore and a complex and well thought-out hierarchy of supernatural beings.
The romance for both couples is dazzling. The will they won’t they is well done and keeps tensions high. The sexual tension between Alexis and Katie is palpable and drives the story. This story is hot and extremely sexy.
Alexis lost her first love tragically many years before and it changed her to the core. Making her harder and closed off. She decides to close her self off to love to avoid that kind of pain again, the second she feels a connection to Katie she pushes her away. Katie thinks Alexis hates her. Katie is sporting a major crush on Alexis that she can’t shake despite Alexis’ rejection of her. Katie’s stubbornness, determination, and recklessness are the driving factors of their romance. Katie must break down every one of Alexis’ walls if they are to stand a chance.
Both Katie and Alexis are wonderful characters. Alexis tries to hide all vulnerability because she is sweet and soft at her core. Katie is selfless and kind. Katie is fiery and passionate and tends to wear her heart on her sleeve. They are a marvelous fit for each other.
This is an action packed thrill ride of a romance and I am excited for the sequel and to go back to the beginning. An absolute must read for any supernatural romance fans.

3.75/5

This is the second book of the Wild For You series. I was super excited for this book to come out. After reading the first book I feel in love with the characters and with the world. However, I felt like this book did not meet the expectations.

This book is suppose to follow Alexis and Katie's story, two characters which are great and lovable. And if the book would have concentrated on just them it would have been 5 stars. However, I found the constant going back and forth to the main characters from the first book a bit disconcerting and frustrating at times.

Besides that, I love the characters and I was glad to be back in a world I loved so much the first time. I love this author and I will continue reading her books.

I received the ARC from NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for an honest review.

The story of Alexis and Katie, an interesting take on a vampire romance with witches and intrigue thrown in for good measure. Not one of the fastest paced stories going but enough to keep you interested to the end.

‘Longing For You’ takes us back to the Debrek clan of vampires and those around them. We get to see Amelia and Byron as they get used to their life together. This is the story of Alexis and Katie though. Alexis has kept other women at a distance for many years, but she has her reasons. Katie is the Debrek’s housekeeper and part of a long family tradition. There is an obvious attraction, but the fact that Katie is human is a stumbling block to love.

I enjoyed being with the Debrek vampires again as I believe that there is huge scope for stories in their world. The tension between Alexis and Katie was well done and passionate. I liked how this thread was woven with others regarding Amelia’s background and a threat from less honourable vampires. There was certainly a lot going on in the background. I expect some of that will pay off on future books.

I was given this ARC for review.

Jenny Frame knocks it out the park once again with this fantastic sequel to Hunger For You. She can keep the pages turning with a delicious mix of intrigue and romance.

Byron and her now-wife Amelia are once again pulled into the world of danger. But we know their story already (or you should if you read the first book) so Jenny frame takes us on Alexis and Katie’s journey to love. I love Alexis. The strength and bravery she has shown in both books is fantastic and made me crush on her even though she was a secondary character in the first book. Being the centre stage in this book was magic and getting to know her inward thought and vulnerabilities just made me enjoy her more. When throwing the strong and wilful Katie into the mix, I knew their love story would be great, and I was not wrong.

Katie and Alexis have had palpable chemistry from the beginning. The fact they show nothing but contempt to each other at times just fuels their attraction and love.

The sex scenes like with most Jenny Frame books are hot and heavy and all kinds of fun to read.

I loved this instalment from the Wild for your series. The epilogue in this book just made me hungry for more from this series, and I think the next book is going to be just as much as a wild ride.

Longing for You is the second in the Wild series. I completely enjoyed the first book, "Hungry for You". I would recommend reading that first so you are familiar with the characters and storyline. It will make more sense for you in the long run.
This book is primarily a love story between Alexis and Katie with a lot of frustration and angst but continues the story with Amelia Honey, Byron Debrek their vampire clan and all the paranormal that goes with it. It's got a lot of moving parts and characters but will keep you interested from beginning to end. I highly recommend the Wild series starting with the short story, Dapper. Dapper is about how Amelia and Byron met.

This is book 2 in the Longing For You series and its absolutely important to read the first book before you read this one. The main characters in the first book are featured heavily in this book. In fact that is one of the main issues I have with this story, the main characters of this book (Alexis & Katie) take a backseat to the first book's characters. Everytime there is some progress in the plot/romance between Alexis & Katie, the author cuts to the first books characters story and as the book progresses Alexis and Katie get less and less screen time. It gets so bad that their ending is entirely rushed and their conflict just feels randomly resolved. Beyond that this is and interesting and fun read. If you look at it as just a continuation of the first books plot with Alexis and Katie as side characters you'll enjoy it more.

I am always looking for good paranormal books. Ms. Frame never seems to disappoint me. This book is the second one in the “Wild for You” series. Although it is not necessary to read the first book in this series, I would highly recommend doing so because Ms. Frame has created a wonderful story with excellent characters.

The story centers around the Debrek vampire clan. Alexis Villiers is the best friend and right-hand protector of Bryan, the Principe of Debrek. Bryan has recently married/bonded with Amelia. Alexis deeply misses the time spent with her best friend, Bryan, and is lonely. However, this does not last for long. Alexis has been attracted to the head housekeeper, Katie Brekman. Katie and Alexis do the push-pull relationship dance throughout the book. Readers will have fun reading about these two characters and their friends and how they play into the brewing vampire war.

Ms. Frame is one of my favorite writers and she never lets me down with her books. Her stories are complex and well-planned. The characters are very well developed and readers who enjoy this genre will long for the next book in the series.

I highly recommend Longing for You and rate this book with 5 out of 5 stars.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

What a story! Perfect read for upcoming season but also so moving. I don't think I read any books before, but I will have to get to it. This story is wonderful. The dilemmas Alex and clan have to deal with and her ever growing love for Katie, geez! I cannot wait for next story!

Another awesome paranormal story from Jenny Frame! I was so happy to find out there was another book following Hunger for You. I'm guessing there'll be another book since the storyline isn't complete which would be extra awesome. I really love the authentic honest almost sappy love between the committed couples. This author tells the best romance stories even with all the blood and red eyes. I will worship every book Ms. Frame writes. I definitely recommend both books in this series. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really wanted to get into this but it was just a bit to scattered for me. I enjoyed the return of Byron and Amelia but I felt like Katie and Alexis story was not really the focus. There was just not enough to really make me feel like I was immersed into their world.

This is the second installment in Jenny Frame's Vampire Series and I really liked it to come back to the old characters. I liked the story a lot but sometimes I felt the writing / scene buildung could have been better. There were thrilling moments but they weren't that thrilling because Jenny Frame just told us what happened through the character's eyes after everything happened (I would have loved to read some scenes especially from Katies PoV to feel the angst, the dramatic moments and so on). So some parts seemed to be rushed where I would have loved more. The lovestory was okay but I whish I would have been more enganged this time. I loved both characters but the spark in me was not as strong as I hoped.

So just 3 stars from me this time though I love the story and its characters.

Can*t wait for the next book.

This was a fun read! After the first book (Hunger for You), it took two years for this second to get published. I liked it better than the first book, but have trouble pinpointing why. Let's just keep it at my state of mind when I read a book.

I read the first book, but I think that you don't have to read it first to be able to understand this book. I do think however that you would enjoy reading it in order. Otherwise, you'll crash into a full-blown relationship between Byron and Amelia. It's nice to read first how they meet each other.

In this second book, the story of the first continues and we zoom into another couple: Alexis and Katie. They do the push-pull thing pretty convincing in this book. They both have their reasons for not engaging so when they do it is rewarding. I didn't expect a certain plot twist, I can't tell more without spoiling the story for you, sorry!

This book is told from two viewpoints: the "good side" and the "bad side". Just like in the first book I felt less invested in reading the parts of the "bad side". I even resorted to scanning some of those parts instead of fully reading them (blush...). They are important for the storyline but just couldn't hold my attention. Also, I was waiting for the big fight the whole time, everything leading up to that, and it just didn't come... Guess that's for book 3 in the series. Wich, I want to read, because I'm that curious and also mainly enjoyed the read.

If you like vampire-romances and you're not heavy on the action, this is a good read for you.
