Publisher's Weekly Review

Wilde (All of Me) pays homage to The Gilmore Girls in this lighthearted romance. The small town of Twilight, Tex., is known for reuniting high school sweethearts, and when girl-next-door Flynn MacGregor finally agrees to marry straitlaced sheriff Beau Trainer, she thinks she's settling down with her first love. Then Flynn's old flame Jesse Calloway rolls in, fresh from 10 years in prison, and rekindles "chemistry that time and circumstances had not erased." As Flynn struggles to stop mothering everyone around her, Jesse helps her realize her highly controlled life has not been so different from his in prison. Full of colorful characters, pleasant descriptions and sexual tension, this romance is slow to get started and overloaded with campy Southern charm, but once it gains momentum it's as satisfying as a glass of lemonade on a hot day.
