Review: Oxford Wild

 

✩✩✩✩✩

CEDAR

My name is Cedar Wild—wild by name, wild by nature. I arrived at Oxford straight from my family’s off-grid log cabin deep in the Canadian forest. Intimidating? Absolutely. But if I can run a trapline and butcher a moose, I can adapt to student life at the world’s most illustrious university. Right?

I hadn’t bargained on my barely-older-than-me advisor, Alfred, Lord Invernay. On my first night in Oxford, I help him out of a mortifying situation. By all accounts, this brilliant, rugby-playing academic should make a much-needed friend. Instead, he treats me like a pebble in his brogues.

Sure, the air snaps with electricity every time we’re in a room together, but he’s obsessed with rules—especially the proper respect due to him as a newly minted Oxford faculty member. Let’s just say reverence is not exactly what he gets from me.

ALFIE

It's obvious Cedar has never encountered a rule in her life, much less followed one. She needs taming if she's going to put her right foot forward at Oxford. Thanks to College orders that unenviable task is mine. Good grief, this should be interesting.

Oxford Wild is an enemies-to-lovers, opposites attract, fish-out-of-water, SLOW-BURN (but steamy!) romance. Fasten your seatbelts for the culture clash to end all culture clashes within the dreaming spires of Oxford University. New World vs. Old World. Who will prevail?

Genre: contemporary romance

Publication date: December 2021

Mature content: yes

Review: I totally loved Oxford Wild! I was hooked from the beginning and I will certainly look for more books by this author in the near future.

I found the second part of the book a bit weaker when compared to the first part, especially when Alfie turns out to be a bottomless well of contradictions and mixed messages, but the added hint of suspense sort of compensated for that and I was still glued to the pages until the end.

Overall, Oxford Wild is a fun book with original and engaging characters, and I recommend it.  

Happy readings!
