Wild Games eBook Mila Rossi Reviews

The jungles of Costa Rica are a pretty wild place; add to that a swashbuckling security guard/baby-sitter (to a group of grown-up scientists) plus a stubborn researcher there to study native plants, and you’ve got a unique setting for a story.
Matt works at the local university and is a security officer there – but takes jobs with the university guiding scientists into the Costa Rican jungle to a research facility where they cohabitate (well, two to a treehouse) for a month while doing their work. He wields a machete as they make their way through the foliage and assists the travelers should they need it.
And Becca, well she needed it. Her luggage was lost and she was ill-equipped for the hike in as a result. She’s stuck in shorts – while great for the hot weather, they are terrible at protecting her legs from the local fauna and she brushes up to a plant that causes her leg to swell up and makes her journey deeper into the jungle a painful and slow endeavor. And with this incident, Matt does what he does best. He has Becca hop up onto his back to piggyback her in to the site.
You’d think Becca would be grateful but Matt is the type of guy who sits squarely outside her comfort zone. He’s got a scruffy face and she likes clean-shaven men. He’s muscular and handsome and pretty intimidating to this beautiful redhead - so she may have said a thing or two that did not endear herself to Matt (in other words, she whined). Matt tries to be professional but she’s getting on his nerves. Once they roll into the work-site, they are told they will be sharing a treehouse…
“You must be joking,” she said. Jonathan’s face was serious. “I am not.” Matt rubbed his neck. ****. “This is obviously a mistake,” she said. “Everyone is paired up with a member of the same *** [gender]. Mr. Ritter is not a woman.” “Glad you noticed,” Matt mumbled under his breath and a few people snickered. In no time, Rebecca [Becca] shot up and hopped over to Jonathan as if she hadn’t been the biggest handicapped pain in the *** through half the jungle. “You can’t possibly expect me to share a hut with him,” she whispered quietly while looking at Matt over her shoulder. “Why not?” Jonathan replied. She turned to frown at him. “Because, it’s inappropriate. I should be rooming with another female.” Matt had to agree with her for once. “We are not evenly numbered, Rebecca. I was going to ask for a couple of volunteers to have a male/female pair-up, but seeing how you are injured and require assistance, it’s only logical to pair you up with Matt,” Jonathan said. She stared outraged at Jonathan, then at Matt. “This is unacceptable. I will not share a hut with that. . .brute.” “Thanks, I’ll take that as a compliment,” Matt said dryly. She snorted and turned back to Jonathan. “You can’t be serious. Mr. Ritter and I cannot share a hut.” “It’s not a hut, sweetheart. It’s a treehouse,” Matt corrected her…
But you know those kids on the playground who “like” someone would pull their hair or tease them to get their attention? Think of this pair like that. These two bickered – like a lot. His manly ways irritated Becca and her temper frustrated Matt. They were constantly harping on each other, and then they were not…
“And you are the most, the most. . .,” she obviously tried to think of the worst insult, “non-threatening machete-wielding bodyguard I know.” He grinned, earning himself an even deeper frown. “That didn’t seem to be the case when I protected you from that spider. You screamed like a ******* opera singer when you saw me.” Her cheeks glowed like hot embers. “Anybody would scream if they were faced with a wet, naked man looking like he’s about to chop someone’s head off.” “I’d say I’m going a pretty damn good job then,” he concluded smugly. She grunted and was about to turn away, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back. She hit his chest with large surprised emeralds staring back at him. “Where are you going?” he asked, letting his gaze run over her face. “To bed.” That sounded good to him, but he wasn’t going to suggest he join her. Not yet at least...Her gaze moved from his eyes to his mouth. He pulled her closer and crushed her lips with his. He expected resistance but there was none. Her lips were plump and soft and melted onto his just right. Her tongue did as much exploring as his, and her hands dug into him everywhere at once; his back, his neck, his hair, even his ***. Holy ****…
These two were a conundrum throughout this book. I often wasn’t sure whether they actually liked one another or hated one another. They blew hot and cold right up until the end and it was different to see a couple being so at odds with each other for most of a story.
And to be honest, I found myself having a very difficult time understanding or liking Becca. I don’t understand why a girlie-girl would agree to much less want to trek into an actual jungle to research plants and if she did, why she wouldn’t be very happy and grateful for the guidance of an experienced guide to be at her side?
I liked Matt overall though; there were times he acted like a guy, but then, he is one. He was completely as perplexed with the actions and voiced-out-loud thoughts Becca threw his way and whenever he would try to smooth things over with her, she would just wind him back up again.
Although there was definitely sexual tension between these two, there were times when they acted like sibling rivals as well.
The setting for this story was very intriguing. I enjoyed reading how this author painted the scenery with her words and could feel the humidity around me and hear the animals of the jungle in my mind (as I read it). It is a fairly short novella (113 pages) so it’s a fun, quick read.
If you feel like a quick, trip into the wilds of a jungle with a hunky guide who’s prepared for anything, this would be a good story to consider adding to your TBR.
I started Wild Games looking forward to a quick and sexy read set in the jungle. I sort of got what I was asking for. The hero of the story is Matt, a security officer, who takes on security work protecting research students studying plants in Costa Rica. He’s handsome, tough and handles a machete well. Becca is on her first expedition and really looking forward to the opportunity to take her studies to the next level. When the two meet…it is definitely not love at first sight.

This is a novella, so a lot needs to be covered in a short story. Contents wise, the author did OK. I wouldn’t have minded getting a bit more info on why and how a security guard is taking people into the jungle. Ex military? Lived in a jungle when he was a kid? All we know is that he’s done it a few times and can handle a knife well.

Here’s my problem…considering this is a novella, we don’t have a lot of time to get to like the characters. Now Matt, I had no problems liking, he was protective and sexy. But Becca, holy shamoly, she was bloody annoying. She was rude, condescending and ungrateful. Even towards the end she couldn’t understand the fact that her words and actions were mean and uncalled for. I could NOT see what he saw in her. She went into the jungle not at all prepared for the animals and wildlife she would come in contact with. To walk away from the group, because she’s inquisitive, is just plain stupid.

I think this author has huge potential. I liked the storyline and the hero Matt, but considering it’s a short story there isn’t enough time for us to…come to love…try and understand…See where Becca was coming from. Unfortunately, this made their romance a tad unbelievable for me. Give me more characters like Matt and less characters like Becca and I will definitely be reading more from this author.

I received a complimentary copy of this story from the author for an honest review.
