Brie Carter's father's land development business has taken her family all over the world,
but as soon as they arrive at their new home in Lost Spring, Wyoming, the town turns out to protest. They don't want a new hotel if the resident mustang population will be displaced or hurt as part of the deal. Then Brie meets Logan, a gorgeous local who has a special connection to the mustangs, and she is immediately drawn to him . . . and the horses. However, with Logan's father leading the protests and Brie's father refusing to budge, it's clear that their parents are heading towards an all-out war. Can Brie and Logan find a way to save the mustangs and be together? Or is their love doomed from the start?
Altough I read a lot of YA, I've never read a book by Jessica Burkhart before, so I was very curious what to expect.
I was very impressed by the story of Wild Hearts. From the cover it seems like a very sweet YA romance, but trust me, this book has a serious dose of good drama! I really liked the somewhat forbidden romance between Brie and Logan. Brie has her share of obstacles to overcome along the way, what with her father being so against Logan and his father, the fact that she will have to up and move again once her dad's project is over, and how they can save the horses while keeping what they're doing a secret.It was also very refreshing that the setting of the book was so completely different than usual. No city life, but rural countryside with horses, which is beside writing, a passion of the author. You can read between the lines that she loves and knows everything about horses!
Overall I thought Wild Hearts was a fun, realistic and romantic story from Bloomsbury's If Only series. The previous books in this series where awesome, and so is Wild Hearts!
