Wilder

I was really excited about this one at the start. I was intrigued by Leah's character and the romance she clearly had ahead of her. But the writing and characters quickly became incredibly corny and unrealistic. The last several pages had me cringing and wanting the ending already. I thought I may have found a great new series to sink my teeth into but Leah and Wilder are so overly "mushy" and cheesy. Sorry :( done with these characters.

Paxton and Leah have an arrangement that keeps them together yet apart. This was probably a great read for some but it was so boring to me unfortunately I did not love this book but I do love Rebecca's writing

If I could give this book more than five stars I would! What an amazing start to a new series!! Leah Baxter is stepping out of her comfort zone to study abroad on a yearlong cruise. Her scholarship depends upon the success of her tutoring subject, Paxton Wilder, but she is determined to be successful so she and her roommate can make the most of this experience. She's hidden behind fear for too long to fail. Paxton Wilder is only interested in passing this year so that The Renegades documentary will be funded. The Renegades and chasing the next extreme adventure are his priorities. Neither Leah nor Pax can risk their chemistry getting in the way of their goals. I don't think any review can really do this story justice. It was the most unique book I've read in really long time. College on a cruise ship? This needs to be something offered in real life! This author did an amazing job connecting readers to all of the characters in the book. I felt every emotion the characters had from the very first page. I'm really looking forward to the rest of The Renegades stories!!! *I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.*
