Nobody can write better than Cynthia Eden. This series has kept me entertained from the beginning. When your ex isn’t who you think he is; yet comes to your rescue as some big bad superhero. What do you do, well run with him. As the masks fall off Chelsea learns that Colt is definitely hero material. Will they make out alive? And can Chelsea handle this new Colt?

I absolutely loved this book. I am a huge second chance romance fan and this one did it for me. Chelsea and Colt were so much fun and the storyline was unique. I can't wait for more from Cynthia!

hank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book for an honest review. The book starts off with Chelsea's "accountant" having to leave rather quickly....Chelsea feeling dumped goes on a Caribbean vacation and gets kidnapped. Her rescuer is none other than Colt (the accountant) if you want a fast paced hot rom you have come to the right place - never a disappointed with the Wilde books nor Cynthia Eden's writing.

Oh my word, yet again another, I can’t put it down, book! If you like fast paced suspense and super hot hero’s you will love these books. Never boring. When Chelsea discovers that her ex is not as into her as she is him, she breaks it off with him. Then while laying on a beach enjoying the sun he turns up. Cole is determined to make her trust him again. So much that he will put his life on the line to prove it.

Chelsea Ember was tired of waiting on her boyfriend Colt Easton to show up for their dates and definitely tired of him sometimes missing their dates all together . When he shows up and tells her he has to go out of town and doesn't know when he'll be back . That's the finally straw she breaks up and hopes to never see the lying Accountant again . She finds herself on a vacation and Who shows up on her island paradise none other than Colt . The one man she doesn't want to see . She soon finds herself in danger and Colt is the only man she wants to protect her . But can she look past the secrets he kept from her . This is a Sensational Suspense Romance . It's entertaining and definitely action packed . I could not put it down . I highly recommend taking the time to read .

Ms. Eden does an absolutely fabulous job of combining suspense, fast-paced action, drama and romance all together in one perfect bundle in these standalones in the Wilde Series. I keep thinking she’s going to run out of ideas because this is the 16th title in this series!! I mean, how does she do it?! I keep saying, “this is my favorite” and then she outdoes herself again and the next book far exceeds my expectations. Colt was everything I wanted him to be and more–he is the perfect soulmate for Chelsea. There were so many favorite moments in this read that I can’t list them all or I’ll spoil it and I don’t want to do that – just buy it and read it. Ms. Eden’s signature laugh-out-loud moments between these alpha males can be found in this read and there are some that are absolutely hilarious. I loved everything about Ex Marks the Perfect Spot, but that doesn’t mean I can’t wait for The Thief Who Loved Me – I have a feeling Remy is going to knock our socks off. I’m very grateful to have been given the opportunity to read an early copy of this book for NetGalley.

Intense, unpredictable with plenty of dangerous action. That's just a few words to describe this story. Chelsea and Colt both drive the story in good ways too. I liked that there wasn't any instant lust right away although the attraction was firmly in place.
Nothing and nobody is what they appear to be on the surface and that just keeps things edgy. So who can you really trust?
Some extra surprises towards the end continue to keep things unpredictable, mostly in a good way. I also liked how things ended with a H.E.A. and a surprising gift that Colt gives Chelsea. It was perfect and that one made me smile big time.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

I loved Chelsea and totally agreed with her when she walked away from Colt who was dating her. Later, we find out that he was undercover and a few more secrets revealed which does not really put Colt in a good light. He really was not a good boyfriend and she was right to expect more from him.

So, it was a surprise for Chelsea to see Colt appear at her vacation spot months later. Now that his case was over, he was ready to try and win Chelsea back but before that can happen, they need to try and figure out why people all of a sudden are trying to abduct her.

More secrets come out and Colt has to connect with Pierce to get help as they are on the run. Throw in Remy from the previous book and you are not sure who you can trust!

There is a great reveal at the end that is heartwarming and an even better HEA for Colt and Chelsea. I could not put this book down and had to read it straight through and now, am eagerly waiting for the next book. I really hope that eventually Remy will have a book and find his HEA.

When Chelsea Ember believes that Colt Easton has dumped her, she decides to take a relaxing Caribbean vacation. She’s shocked when he arrives on the island, but that is just the beginning of her vacation from, well you know. When she is attacked, although she tries to fight off her kidnappers, Cole is able to rescue her. She has no idea why anyone would want to harm her, but they soon realize that they must get off of the island. With the dubious help of Remy, who is maybe with the CIA, and Colt’s team at Wilde Security, they try to untangle the who and why. Colt is definitely not the accountant that he said he was and his ability to fight and protect her is impressive. When their escape from the island involves their occupancy of the honeymoon suite, their attraction blazes out of control. Learning that the threat might be involved with her mother’s past comes as a total shock. Her mother was a beloved school teacher, how is this possible? I can always count on a “wilde” ride, a thrilling romantic suspense story with amazing characters and dialog from Ms. Eden. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

Ex Marks the Perfect Spot is book sixteen in the Wilde Ways by Cynthia Eden that is still going strong. Fast-paced from the very beginning. Colt is excellent as the Wilde agent former Navy SEAL but this mission is personal. Chelsea is wary but not wary enough with what happens to her.

Not the longest of stories but every word is hot attraction, secrets, danger, and suspense. One rollercoaster ride from beginning to conclusion. All romantic suspense readers will love this one.

An ARC of the book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Another wonderful addition to the Wilde Ways series and like all its predecessors it is fast paced fun read with the perfect mix of suspense, drama, romance and of course humour.

Colt Easton broke Chelsea Ember when the suave business man walked away from something she thought they where building What she didn't know was that he was in fact an operative working undercover The only problem is that he may have walked away but he has never forgotten her and now he has tracked her down as he wants to get a second chance with her. He has tracked her down to where she is having a vacation on an island the only problem is he arrives to see her been abducted tossed in to the back of a van and he reacts. Chelsea has problems this man who is all business as he goes about destroying the men who attacked her isn't the man she remembers Now they are both in danger who is continually attacking Chelsea and can they escape the island before she is taken You will have to read to see if they survive and if she gives him a second chance

Holy Crap!!

What a fantastic fast paced adventure.

Chelsea Ember is on vacation when her life is turned upside down.

He glanced down at her. And smiled. His megawatt smile. “Are you glad to see me now?”

Colt Easton has a lot to make up for but thankfully he’s there at the right time.

“I will never choose anyone over you. I don’t care how things look, you’re it. That’s why I came to the island. That’s why I came after you. You don’t give up something that’s so important without a fight.”

Lies , betrayal and secrets all come to light in this story. You just think you’ve see an alpha male before. Wait until you see Colt in action. He messed everything up and now he’s trying to make things right.

“It’s like when you’re baking a cake…”
“You have all these ingredients…We have ingredients. We have attraction. We have the fact that, quite frankly, you are a stellar kisser. The best I’ve ever known.”
“But when you put the cake in the oven, things still might not bake properly.”
Now I need Remy!!

Ex Marks the Perfect Spot (Wilde Ways, #16) by Cynthia Eden
Another fantastic Wilde Ways book by Cynthia Eden. Colt Easton and Chelsea Ember are the perfect H/h for this story. He walked away and broke her heart - said he would be back. When she is in danger he shows up to save her. There is angst, lies, deception, discoveries, fierce attraction, old friends and co-workers, villains, some laughs and tears, lots of danger and plenty of steam to get us to a very HEA. I can't wait for the next Wilde Ways book.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Steamy Happily Ever After Scary Page-turner Tear-jerker Action-packed Romantic Witty Great world building Easy-to-read Unpredictable Entertaining Wonderful characters.. I was lucky to read this ARC.

Get ready for steam to pour out of your eReader! Chelsea and Colt's chemistry is beyond hot. Look no further for your next book boyfriend. There's sexy romance, action and suspense, popins from favorite characters, and twists you won't see coming. What's not to love? I love jumping back into the Wilde world.
