Easton and Hanna have been rivals for as long as they can remember. When they're both hired for an outdoor adventure reality show, they have to learn to work together. Will these frenemies become lovers?

This book is so fun! Easton and Hanna have a long history together. Their friendly competition has created more of a bond between them than they realize. The attraction that develops between them surprises them both. The resulting emotions are confusing and sometimes heartbreaking, but the ending is sweet and satisfying.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

I loved this book. It is the fifth book in the series but the first one that I have read. I am going to have to go back and read the first four books. Easton and Hanna are such a cute couple having been friends with a contentious relationship turned lovers. They have tension and connection and it gets pretty spicy. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more!

Thanks to Jelsba Media Group, NetGalley and Serena Bell for an Advanced Release Copy in trade for a fair and honest review.

mf - contemporary romance - curvy grumpy tomboy bisexual heroine - reformed player hero - opposites attract - frenemies - best friends to lovers - love triangle - relationship coach - small town - workplace - high steam - ARC - 5 stars. The last in the Wilder series. I loved Hanna! She’s a little socially awkward and getting in touch with her emotions through the book. The shower scenes. 👀

Growing up in the small town of Rush Creek, Hannah and Easton have always been frenemies teasing and picking on each other. He's always been there for her when she was having a hard time though, and she teases him about his many women and his nickname around town as the "panty melter". Easton was always the jokester, the Wilder brother nobody took seriously. But when Wilder Adventures hires a popular social media outdoorsman, and Hannah admits her crush on Bear to Easton, he realizes he's never been more serious about anything in his life than winning Hannah for himself. But can he prove to her that it's not just a fling?
When I received an ARC of this book, I didn't realize it was the last book in the Wilder series. I'm super ocd about reading series in order so of course I had to order and read the rest first. I'm so glad I did as each book made me feel closer to the Wilders and their exciting adventure business. Hannah and Easton just had this vibe since the first book that you knew eventually they would end up together and here we are Wilder At Last! Loved it, and I'm so excited about the upcoming spinoff series about Hannah's Hott brothers.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Once again I’m pleasantly surprised by a Serena Bell steamy romcom that has some great messages about loving yourself first; asking for what you need and knowing you deserve it; and showing up no matter what for the ones we love.

Have the cold shower ready after reading this because you are going to need it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is the 5th and final book of the Wilder Adventure series. Hanna Hott and Easton Wilder have been frenemies for years. They work together at Wilder Adventures, the outdoor company owned and run by Easton’s family, and they prank each other and argue like it’s part of the job.

When a celebrity chef is brought on by the family to head up a few outdoor cooking excursions, Hanna immediately develops a crush and enlists Easton’s help to win this mountain man’s attention. While doing so, both Hanna and Easton start to realize what’s been right in front of them for years.

And as they give into this pull that’s happening between them, they wonder if this relationship can last. Hanna worries she cant trust that Easton can fully commit to her, and Easton may be leaving town to pursue his dream job.

This was such a fun read! And while this is a standalone, I highly recommend reading the entire series in order so you can have the backstories on all of the family members!

The entire family is extremely close and highly involved in each others’ lives which I absolutely love! The banter between the family and especially Hanna and Easton was fantastic!

I can’t wait to go back and read the entire series about the Wilder siblings!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Serena Bell for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this last book in the Wilder series so much! Each book just gets better and better, and Wilder at Last was my favourite, even though I didn't think it could top A Little Wilder. Hanna is outdoorsy and a bit of an outsider in a way that is very relatable, and as much as Easton is supposed to be the ladies man or "panty-melter" in the family, he seems a bit too nice for that. He is very likeable though and has always been there for Hanna without being overbearing, so I can see why so many women like him! The banter between Hanna and Easton is hilarious and I like how they have always been real and honest with each other about everything, even uncomfortable topics. I felt a little bittersweet while reading this book, as we all know there aren't any more Wilder brothers to write books about, so I was pleasantly surprised by the ending and announcement of a new related series! I can't wait to see what happens next for all the characters in the Wilder universe. For a sneak peak, don't forget about the free bonus chapter that gives us a glimpse into their future.

At last we get the story of Hanna and Easton which we knew was bound to becoming from the previous four books in the series.
Easton is the youngest of the Wilder children and is seen as the Joker and ladies man of the family. Hanna is someone who has been friends with the family for decades but has a frenemy relationship with Easton.
When Bear (a Bear Grylls type chef) comes to work with Wilder Adventures and Hanna asks Easton"s advice over how to get Bear's attention, true feelings are bound to come out.
I've loved this whole series and I really enjoy the family relationship in the whole series. This can be read as a standalone but I do recommend reading the rest of the series first as their is references to things that happen in other books.
Can't wait for the next series to release with Hanna's brothers.

So when I got this arc, I didn’t realize it was part of a series. I was a little worried going in that I’d be confused, but it was pretty easy to follow along. I’d say it could be read as a stand-alone!

I loved Hannah and Easton, they had such chemistry as both friends which they eventually realized could be more.
One of my favourite tropes to see is the jealousy trope, especially when they don’t recognize that what they’re feeling is jealousy. This author wrote it so perfectly, just *chefs kiss*
We also see a little bit of found family as well. I love that it isn’t JUST about Hannah and Easton, but their families too!

I was pleasantly surprised to see LGBTQ+ representation, as well as a non-binary character. I always love seeing this in books, always a win for the LGBTQ+ community.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I plan to go back and read the series from the beginning. This author had such great writing!

Hanna and Easton have been driving each other crazy since kindergarten. 25 years later, they've worked together for a decade and continue to not take it easy on each other. But when a celebrity chef visits town, it's a chance for Hanna to find love and Easton to get a job out of town. Now, they're working together to help each other, spending time together alone, and practicing kissing...

While Hanna and Easton have been giving each other hell for decades, they've also been by each other's side through their worst times. The quiet support and friendship they have finally comes out when their dynamic shifts and look at each other outside of the friendship lens.

I loved how they are best friends even though everyone thinks, and you see through the other books, that they're enemies. They may be rivals, but they also have loved and cared for each other in ways no one else has since they were kids. The quiet understanding shifts to actually vocalizing their knowledge and feelings and seeing that development was beautiful.

As Hanna asks Easton to help her attract Bear, it finally thows in their face their attraction to each other. Finally allowed to think it they quickly can't stop, and in classic Serena Bell, build and build their physical relationship.

Easton was an excellent romance heroine! Described as an, "Alpha with a side of twenty-first century consent," Easton is always there to support Hanna, even when he wants her to himself, recognizes her capability while being there to love her.

I felt for Hanna and how she felt like she never belonged anywhere, that she never fit in any box. But Easton loved, and showed that love, for every part of her. By each other's side is where they always fit together perfectly, and they finally find that out.

I really enjoyed their story and am excited for Hanna's brothers' series! This was a great conclusion to the Wilder family and shows how far they've come since Gabe's book.

Feat: friends to lovers, rivals to lovers, teach-me-how-to-date, banter, curvy heroine, small town romance

Thank you to netgalley and the author for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

I went into this not realizing it was the last of a series, so my connection to the characters was not the same as someone who had read the previous books. That being said, I'm not sure if it should be read as a standalone. The two main characters are described as being like a bickering old married couple, but I didn't get that at all. Actually, they seemed more friendly and didn't really have any tension. It was a cute read but I think I would've benefitted from knowing the rest of the characters and more of a backstory.

Thank you Author Collective 20 / Jelsba Media Group, Serena Bell, and Netgalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book! I loved Hanna & Easton! I read this as a standalone and understood everything just fine. I will be picking up the other books, I really like the Wilder's.

Perfect ending to this heartfelt series. The characters are spot on and the romance... wow. It's so subtly built throughout the series that when it finally happens... just wow. Another great book by Serena Bell. Can't wait to see what she writes next.

The final instalment in the Wilder Adventures series gives us Easton and Hanna’s story. And it starts with Hanna pulling a brilliant prank. We’ve seen them bickering in previous books and it is clear to their friends and family that it is foreplay, but Hanna and Easton don’t realise that.

This is a romance with flirting and fun with off-the-charts sexual chemistry. But I love how deeply Easton and Hanna understand each other, having been friends since childhood and I found it quite emotional at times to see their friendship move to romantic love. I’m tearing up just thinking about it. Happy tears. I loved Easton and Hanna, and their love story just made my heart sing.

WILDER AT LAST is a completely marvellous story and a fantastic ending to the series. But this won’t be the last we see of the Wilder clan as we are getting a spin-off series featuring Hanna’s brothers and I can’t wait.

This is the fifth book in the series – and all ardent fans will be delighted that Easton and Hanna finally get their story. I would recommend that you read them in order to get the full goodness, particularly for this installment.

Though it has been obvious that their love-hate relationship is going to lead somewhere – but only once Easton grows up! But now the arrival of a celebrity outdoorsman chef has Easton thinking it is time to move away from the family business and the teasing.

It is a lot of fun joining them on their kitchen in the wilderness trip, watching Easton develop belief in himself as a leader and feelings for Hanna. Watching how he struggles to come out from under the assumptions of his family is a good reminder of how difficult it is to get a second chance.

Really lovely to catch up with the Wilder family and seeing Hanna and Easton get their chance at making their own way in the business.

I admit I have been waiting for this book since book one. I wasn't sure how Serena Bell was going to tackle the lovable animosity between the two and turn it into a romance.

Who knew that all it took was for Easton to grow up and realize that his life could be more than just Wilder Adventures. Seeing his brothers realize their dreams while still maintaining a close relationship with the family, showed him that he didn't have to stand in the shadows anymore.

Hanna, on the other hand, is a dutiful granddaughter and loves working with Wilder Adventures. She loves the backcountry life and when she finds out the guest cook Wilder Adventures is hosting is looking for a person to assist him in future projects, she jumps at the chance. And it doesn't hurt that the guy is cuter than cute.

As Hanna is not much of a girly girl or serial dater, she turns to her best frenemy, Easton, to help her out. Turns out Easton is not as annoying as he once was, nor is Hanna as Easton believed her to be. Especially when Hanna lets her guard down and Easton sees the real Hanna.

The animosity between them quickly leads to sparks. Both Hanna and Easton reluctantly give in to those moments of heat because they don't trust the spark not to die.

I really think this is one of the better books of the series, and that's saying something because I loved them all.

This book was fine. It didn’t really wow me in either direction. The childhood friends and friends-to-lovers tropes are not my favorite. The scenes with Bear and his social media were great, and the tension it caused was fun to read. I liked the witty banter and her use of words like “glommed” and “borked.” I also appreciated that the female lead was plus sized, but the story didn’t revolve around that and it didn’t cause any angst. She was confident.

Other than that it overall wasn’t super memorable for a romcom to me. Some of the reactions the characters had were confusing to me, and the relationship seemed like it moved a little fast.

Thumbs up for all the Bridgerton references though.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher and author for providing me with a copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

LOVED this one! I had no idea it was a series but it can definitely still be read as a stand alone. Hanna and Easton were perfect, their chemistry was top notch and wooo those spicy scenes were perfect! I loved the whole vibe of the Wilder Family. Definitely going to read the other 4 books in the series now!! Thank you netgalley and Jelsba Media Group for the opportunity to read and review the ARC copy of this book!

I think this was a super cute quick read, I’m not sure if I feel inspired to check out the rest of the series, but I definitely enjoyed it for a lighthearted romance.

This book! Go ahead and sign me up for the rest because I am hooked! I hate that I am just learning about this series and coming in on book five because I feel like I have stepped into the middle versus learning about the Wilder family (and the amazing women who have tamed the brothers) from the beginning. Again, incentive to start from book one and work my way through – especially with some of the jaw dropping details that mention throughout Wilder at Last!

Hanna and Easton go together like oil and water. If there is ever a motivator to get up each morning, it is to see how far under each other’s skin they can get before someone cries uncle. The youngest in their individual families, Hannah has known Easton since kindergarten. Sure, he is attractive and rightfully earned the name “panty melter” but this is Easton! Besides, she has better things to do with her time, energy, and effort – particularly getting the attention of wilderness expert and master chef Bear Warden. When Bear shows up to run his foraging program, to help Wilder Adventures gain exposure, Hanna is determined to make him discover a lot more during his visit. Enlisting the help of her naturally flirty friend Easton, she can’t possibly fail. That sentiment would be true if Easton wasn’t finding himself losing focus and getting inexplicably angry each time Hanna looks like she is going to succeed with Bear. Yes, he does look out for her and that has to be the reason he is being irate – he is just being a good friend, Sure, he simply notices how attractive his female friend is suddenly and has started fantasizing about her; but, absolutely none of this is out of the ordinary (and that is the story he is sticking with!)

What I like about it: Easton and Hanna were just too cute for words. I loved their banter and their overall dynamic. The fact that they had known each other since kindergarten, became friends, then frenemies, not realizing that they filled the role of best friend for one another just made me smile. The caught off guard attraction for one another was absolutely hilarious. I also enjoyed the brotherly love between Easton and the other Wilders. Like I mentioned before, coming in at the end means they have already had their stories and are giving insight on their personal experiences. I hate that I have missed those and will definitely be going back to read each of their tales.

As for the heat, Bell did not hold back on the spice at all! If it wasn’t mentally happening, it was physically happening! There wasn’t a moment where the attraction and lust between Easton and Hanna wasn’t crystal clear.

Asides for the blushful moments, the character growth is this short read was unreal! To watch Hanna and Easton transformed, not to be what the other needed, but because the other shined a spotlight on their blind spots was excellent writing. Hanna’s growth was the most captivating. Her coping with lost and abandonment and discovering why she kept people at arms length was such an eye opener. Her reveal to Easton towards the end made my jaw drop. For Easton, to finally discover who he was and what he wanted, it was so pleasing to see him “grow up” and be the man he knew he could be.

Back to the laughs, I loved Fox! For some reason, I kept picturing Sam Elliot anytime he was mentioned. I am interested to see what he has up his sleeves in the spin off series featuring Hanna’s brothers.

I can’t wait to go back and read this series from the beginning. Bell has made a fan out of me with Wilder at Last. As there are six kids, I am curious if she is going to do another book feature the sister or if her story was already told. In either case, be sure to download the bonus scene! I already loved the ending but that made it even better and solidifies that they were truly made for each other.

"Hannah might be a Hott by birth, but she's a Wilder for life" like are you kidding me!! This line had me melting!

Okay let me back up some! I loved this story from the start! The banter from the Easton and Hannah is A+ in my book and just got better and better. I love their chemistry from the beginning. It was fire right away!

To add even more goodness to this book you mix in the Wilder family and it is just incredible! The Wilders are the nosiest, most loving and caring while meddling family! And how Hannah fits right in with them is just so heartwarming. Especially given her past. They just love her and add so much to her storyline!

I loved this book from start to finish! It had me squealing, laughing, sighing and feeling heartbroken all while loving the character growth from both Hannah and Easton! Easton in the last part of the book is just gooey with his realization!

I would recommend this book for anyone that wants a fast read and a gooey rom-com. I couldn't get enough of Hannah and Easton!

A really enjoyable read and a story that can be related to which I love in a book.

Really loved the cover and it drew you in and I'm so glad because the story is beautifully written.

My first read by the author too so will be looking out for more to enjoy by them
