Me and my hot ex-husband.
Alone. In a cabin in the woods.
With one tiny bed.


Once upon a time, Davis Westbrook was my small town fairytale.
We fell in love at 16. Married at 21.
High school sweethearts destined for forever.

Then in one cruel moment, fate stormed in, knocked over our white picket fence and stole our happy ever after.

Davis and I moved on with separate lives.
I run the local veterinary clinic.
He is Honey Hill’s hot-as-hell chief deputy sheriff.
And we’re nothing but cordial exes, ‘politely keeping our distance’ around town.

But four years later, fate is laughing at us again.

My best friend is marrying Davis’s brother.
Which means, I’m the maid of honor. And my ex-husband is the best man.

No biggie. We can handle this.
We’re pros at the whole ‘keeping our distance’ thing.
Right?

Not so fast.

We get caught in a violent rainstorm on the way to the destination wedding.
Now, instead of ‘politely keeping our distance’ at the wedding venue, we’re stuck in a tiny cabin in the woods.

With one tiny bed.

As if that isn’t awkward enough, we have to pretend to be a happily married couple just to keep the roof over our heads.

Dammit. Fate is pulling strings again.

I was sure the spark between us would be gone by now.
Oh, I was so very wrong.

The minute our lips touch, our souls are on fire and we’re drowning in the flames.
Turns out—this thing between us isn’t just a spark. It’s a freaking wildfire.

And when our secret comes out...it’s going to burn our hometown to the ground.

The Wild Fire is a steamy, laugh-out-loud, small town second chance romance. It is set in small town Iowa and is book four in the Wild Westbrooks series. No cheating. HEA guaranteed.


The Wild Fire (The Wild Westbrooks #4) Reviews

    True move

    I really hate when someone loves someone but leaves them so they can find somebody better. She isn't worthy, blah blah, blah. Its cringe worthy really. Then for four years they still pine for one another because she made a stupid decision. I really DoD like the hero but the heroine was kind if meh. I just didn't understand her reasoning. Now they are going to a wedding for his brother and her friend and they are forced to be together. The sex part was very detailed and I passed over most of it. It was very steamy so those that like that will be happy. He has a girlfriend, or at least everyone thinks he does, and Is keeping secrets. Not bad ones but he can't tell anyone because of an NDA so you don't know what is going on. It really was a good story. Their love never died, and both of them were celibate during those four years. If she hadn't been such a moron they would still be together. So I took away one star due to that. But its well written. I think this is my first read by this author and I really liked that it wasn't the same old story everyone else does with the ex-husband becomes a bed hopping porn star and she sits at home mourning his loss because she was an idiot. I will read her again as long as her other books are safe for me.

    Ok this book had me until about the 60% mark. I love a second chance romance, and this one was striking the perfect balance between longing and hope. With a dash of pining. And then it went completely off the rails.

    I swear all these authors are reading the same “how to write a romance” books because they are all leaning in to absolutely outlandish villains. It’s ridiculous.

    Also let’s ban the term “tunnel” when used for the female anatomy. Channel is bad enough yet tunnel is somehow worse.

  • Kim

    this was so good! everyone needs to go read this right now. i don't even like second chance romances but this is the exception. the only reason i'm not giving it 5 stars is because alana's lack of communication was infuriating. that trope usually ruins the whole book for me, but i enjoyed this book so much it only bothered me a little which says a lot about how good it is tbh

  • Christina Rybka

    Davis and Alana starting dating when they were 16 got married at 21 and then Alana left Davis and they got divorced. Four years later their lives are interconnected they have the same friends, but their interactions have been limited. Alana’s best friend is marrying Cash who is Davis brother and they are going to Cresent Harbor to get married. There is a huge storm and Davis and Alana end up together and stuck in a one room one bed cabin. The attraction and love is still very much alive, but they keep fighting it until they can’t anymore. Can they stay together or will they just keep fighting it ? Great characters and storyline Highly recommended Amazing book. Love Davis and Alana the supporting characters are amazing. The storyline has some twists and the spice is nice. Love the sarcasm and Easter eggs

    Second chance perfection ❤️

    This was second chance perfection. Second chance stories can be so hard. Sometimes when the issue that causes a break up is so horrible, it’s hard to believe someone could ever forgive it. Authors also frequently write the guy as sleeping with every single person in the world during the time they are apart. I cannot fathom why so many authors think that is something a woman wants to see. I’m so over it.

    But this story, this story hit the sweet spot. Alana and Davis grew up together, and were childhood sweethearts. They married young and were each other’s soulmates and first everything. Alana was from a “wrong side of the tracks” family, and it’s her family baggage that ultimately causes her to leave Davis unexpectedly and without explanation. Four years later, the wedding between her bff and his brother forces them into close proximity. Super close. Like a one room cabin with only one bed, close. Neither one has moved on. Remarkably, in their four years apart, neither one has been with anyone else either. How swoony is that!? And swoony Davis still wears his wedding ring on a chain around his neck ❤️

    We learn in bits and pieces what caused Alana to call it quits. And oh my heart. These two clearly love each other, and are clearly meant to be. I loved watching them struggle through all their emotions and how to navigate where they are and where they want to be. Their love was never the issue. These two are 🔥🔥 together. Smoking hot. And I love the relationships all around them as well. I love that even when they split up, she didn’t lose her connection to those people. Seriously, read this book. It’s a great ride.

  • Katie

    First off, let me start by saying that when I read the other books in this series I was DYING to read Davis and Alana’s story.

    I was not disappointed.

    We have Alana, a girl with a troubled family and never feeling worthy of love due to her upbringing. The local town veterinary.

    Davis is the golden boy who grew up to be chief deputy sheriff in town. His family is everything to him.

    They met at sixteen, married at twenty one, divorced at twenty seven and rekindled at 31.

    Was this book full of miscommunication? YES. And while normally I hate that, I usually am more accepting of it in second chance tropes, after all we do need a story. But this one was a little different. While Davis was left in the dark, and I was hurting for him.. Alana was facing circumstances and at the time truly believed she was protecting him.

    They get stuck while traveling to his brothers wedding, end up having to pretend to still be married to eachother, ONE BED, and they hook up and try to find closure while they’re there.

    Overall this story was full of angst and for some reason I’m in an angsty mood recently so I read this at the right time!❤️

    Loved this whole series!!

    Tropes: small town; second chance; one bed; forced proximity; fake dating(sorta)
    Rating: 4.5/5⭐️
    Spice: 2.5/5🌶️

  • Marina Skinner

    Where do I even begin? The Wild Fire was this angsty, second chance romance with so much steam, it almost lit me on fire! Haha
    Davis Westbrook’s story is quite the bumpy ride. He’s the towns deputy chief sheriff, divorced for four years, however never really got closure. Needless to say when hes stranded due to bad weather, trying to get to his brothers wedding, with his ex wife no less, lets just say these two need to talk it out or whatever they need to do.
    Alana is hiding, keeping the truth as to why she left him close to her chest.
    Honestly I wondered what on earth could be so bad that Davis wouldn’t support her? He’s this caring, wonderful man with a heart of gold and would do anything for those he loves, his family notwithstanding. Growing up the way she did, Alana’ self worth is lacking. But who could blame her, considering how her mother treats her, I wanted to slap that woman, she was abominable.
    These two butt heads more often than not but will love win over, or are they just not meant to be? Read it for yourself to find out. I really loved this book. Love the way the Westbrooks all are supportive to each other and their extended families too. Loved it!

  • Destany

    I have wanted Davis and Alana's story since the first Wild Westbrook story, and it's finally here! I wasn't disappointed, but I was way annoyed with Alana! I'm not a big fan of the miscommunication trope, and Davis and Alana had a HUGE miscommunication problem. Well, it was mostly Alana. She seriously lacked self esteem and preservation skills. Totally blowing Davis off. A lot could have been fixed if she's just talked to Davis.

    Traveling for Cash and Meghan's wedding, Davis and Alana get stuck in a quirky little town when a storm hits. And pretending to be married for the sake of the people who gave them shelter proves too much for them and they give in to their passions. A lot. In various ways. Dang, Davis has a dirty mouth I didn't expect haha But when it's back to reality, what happens?

    At any rate, I love this series, this town, this family, these characters. I'm crossing my fingers that Nicky will get her story after Mason!

  • Jo-Ann Forrest

    I love these WestbrookS! Davis is the one who had it all, married his highschool sweetheart, deputy sheriff with political aspiration everything was going his way until, Alana divorced him 4 years ago.
    He has been miserable, having insomnia and going through the motions of his life. Alana divorced the love of her life and plowed through life, with no passion. The opportunity for these two to clear their past came when Davis saved her while she was driving to Cash Westbrook and her best friend Meghan's wedding. They end up in this crazy town in a cabin owned by her friend Ziggy's aunt and uncle deep in the woods. Their sizzling attraction and magnetic chemistry will heat up the pages of their story. Entertaining, heartbreaking, heartwarming story that will make you laugh, cry and scream at these two stubborn troubled souls, so full of love for each other!

    My heart is full of Davis and Alana

    Brava Cassie-Ann L. Miller for writing such a wildly different Wild Westbrooks book! This fourth book in the series is the best of the bunch, so far. And that says a lot because they’re all beautiful books.

    Oh, and this is the dirtiest of the bunch too!

    Tracing their lives from their breakup to the present and back to love is quite the genius. Thank you so much for such a wonderful job of writing two people who are made for each other, finding their way back together.

    Definitely read this book, but do yourself a favour and start at the series beginning, because these two are in every book.

  • Melinda Swaine

    Just the perfect escape everyone needs from every day life!!

    Whenever I read a Cassie-Ann L. Miller book, I find myself wanting to read it slowly to savor it, but also hurry to finish it because it’s just so fantastic. This is definitely one of her best books I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Definitely say my favourite one to date. I tried to force myself to put it down as I need sleep but just couldn’t as I knew I had to finish it as I knew it would play on my mind till I did. I’m still getting over the book hangover now. You have to read this one and any book by this very talented and wonderful author. Her books always hit the mark and are just the perfect escape everyone needs from every day life. Happy reading everyone

    Davis and Allie

    Finally we get the story of what happened between Davis and Alana. After reading the first book in the Wild Westbrooks series, I was dying to know more about these two. I have to say, at first the story was a little slow. Having already known about these characters, I wanted all of the details right away! My heart was aching and bursting for these two during this whole book. It is definitely a good second chance romance book that will leave you with all the feels.

  • Gladys

    Davis and Alana's story really does it all. From smiles to tears and from heat to heartache, this couple gives your heart and emotions a workout. These two had me very much up in my feels and to be honest there were times when I wasn't sure if I wanted to hug them or shake them. Still, I found myself powerfully moved as this couple got a much needed second chance at a HEA. This is my freely posted, frank review.

  • Fanofbookfire

    Eh - it was ok

    This book was ok. Had some spicy scenes in the middle. I didn't love the story. I really wanted to, but I found myself skimming just to get it over with. I wanted to get to the end, but it was a struggle. They weren't together, then forces together, then apart because they were both stupid, then the scandal then the last 2% of the book everything was right for them and everyone else in their world. Just wasn't enough of anything I liked.

  • Karen Swann

    Instant Family vibes

    This was so good! Some of the storyline mimics the movie “Instant Family” - watching that and reading the ending together had me in tears. Just so good! I can see parallels between Alana and Lizzie (the younger siblings didn’t have much in common), and I felt like reading the last few chapters after watching the movie gave me Lizzie’s (And Charlie’s) happily ever after story in Alana and Davis. 💕😍 It just made my heart happy!

  • Ces Jimenez

    Well Written but Eh

    It’s okay, the spicy scene are indeed spicy. You get to see the characters from the other books. But the plot is lacking, the back and forward and “no I don’t deserve him” is just not great. I have a hard time believing that after 10years together she reacted like that… and believe me my suspension of disbelief is top notch. Could have been half the length and been more impactful.

  • Maggie

    Davis and Alana

    I was really looking forward to this story. Unfortunately, I just spent most of my time being annoyed. Alana. Girl, please. Davis. Really? You just let her not answer to why she wanted the divorce when your were apparently extremely happily married? You catch sister shoplifting and take the blame instead of offering to buy the merchandise? It’s not even shoplifting until they go past register and out the front door. Ugh. Oh well. HEA

  • Lisa J.

    I love reading about the Westbrook brothers and was excited to learn about Alana & Davis's story but the hated how long it's taking for them to realize that they are meant to be together. I'm 2/3's of the way thru the book and I'm tired of Alana saying she's not good enough for him. Get to the good stuff already. A little disappointed with how this has dragged out.

  • Elaine Root

    This is the story I’ve been looking forward to the most in this series. Alana and Davis high school sweethearts to marriage at 21 to divorce without any closure. I love love and to getting a second chance. Although some of this book was slow and repetitive, I still really liked the book and Alana and Davis got the ending they deserved.

  • NanaX8

    I have so been waiting for Davis and Alana’s story and it was a perfect storm in the path to a once in a lifetime love. I laughed, I cried, I got angry but most of all my heart broke for these 2 and then it filled with love and joy. Grab the tissues and enjoy the journey!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
