GR's Summary:
A good girl goes fabulously bad in the final book in New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan’s sexy New Adult romance series, in which three Ivy League suite-mates seek higher knowledge of just how far they can go.
Months after her boyfriend dumped her, Georgia can still hear the insults he hurled at her. Boring. Predictable. Tame. Tired of feeling bad, she’s ready to change her image, and go a little wild. What better way to prove her ex wrong than a hot night of sexual adventure at the secret campus kink club?
In the shadowy den of the kink club, she unexpectedly runs into Logan Mulvaney, her friend’s little brother. A player extraordinaire too hot for his own good, he may be younger, but the guy is light years ahead when it comes to sexual experience. Now he’s telling her to go home—“good girls” don’t belong here!
Georgia is tired of having others define her. She’s going to teach Logan a lesson he won’t forget—one white hot, mind-wrecking kiss . . . that leads to another . . . and another . . . and. . . . Realizing she’s way in over her head, Georgia runs.
Only Logan won’t let her go. Everywhere she goes he’s there, making her want every inch of him. Making her forget who she is. Who he is. And just how wrong they are for each other.

My Thoughts:
I love the Ivy Chronicles!!! The main characters in this story are so real and relatable, that they could be my friends in real life. Ms. Jordan gives us an exquisite example of what the New Adult Genre should be all about; growing up, exploring, maturing, and becoming an adult. I love the college setting, and whenever I read a book from this series, I'm taken back to my college days, and can't help but reminisce.
Foreplay, Tease, and Wild are all about three different college friends finding love. In each segment, I feel like I have gotten to know Pepper, Emerson, and Georgia on a deeper level. Even though each book can be read as a standalone in this series, all of the characters intersect. Needless to say, I have been dying to get me hands on Georgia's story. Georgia is the most conservative of the three girls. She was brought up to be a prim and proper lady, show obedience, and not think for herself. Her mother runs her life, and expects that Georgia will marry one day and answer to her husband.
Georgia dated her boyfriend for many years, because her mother loved him. His father was a politician and he came from a upper class, well-off, and prestigious family. However, he ends up cheating on her, and dumping her for another woman. Georgia is devastated at first because she had her whole life planned out, but then she realizes that she really never loved him. Unfortunately, what sticks out in her mind is the fact that he called her boring. Therefore, she decides she's going to become a more fun, wild, and adventurous person. When Annie, invites her to an underground, kink club, Georgia accepts, and is excited! When she is there, she see's 18 year old Logan, Reese's younger brother. He tells her good girls are not welcome in the kink club, and as these two share an explosive attraction, Georgia kisses him passionately, which becomes a catalyst for growth, passion, and change in her life!
I loved Wild!!! Yes, I was engrossed in the romance. Let's face it Logan is very sexy, and swoon-worthy, and he definitely gives her the adventure of a lifetime. However, what I loved most about this story was the growth and change that Georgia went through as a character. She went from letting her mother run her life, being passive, and unhappy to empowering herself. She became strong, independent, and a woman. This process was extremely difficult for her. Nevertheless, I was cheering for Georgia, and wanted her to realize her own inner strength.
The story plot was very fun and sexy. I loved being reunited with Pepper and Reese, Emerson, and Shaw, and Georgia and Logan. This was a great ending to an already great trilogy! I was very pleased with how everything was wrapped up, and enjoyed the ending which included all of the friends and their significant others. While I am sad to see, The Ivy Chronicles end; I am excited to see what Ms. Jordan writes next.
My Rating:
I give, Wild, by Sophie Jordan, 4.5 Growing Up, Experiencing Life, and Fiery Passion Filled Stars!!! Ms. Jordan has great story telling talent! If you enjoy New Adult Romance, check out, The Ivy Chronicles!
