Wrecked By You (Wilder Horizons): A Spicy Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity, Contemporary Romantic Comedy

There were two problems with kissing Max Harrington. First—he kissed like sin. Second—he knew it. Now we’re stuck in Scotland together, and pretending it never happened is definitely not on the itinerary.

Rayann Wilder has charm, connections, and one job: make sure a million-dollar pre-wedding celebration in the Scottish Highlands goes off without a hitch. But when her boss assigns the company’s broody security chief to join her? Everything unravels fast.

Max Donovan is ex-military, exasperating, and entirely too attractive for Rayann’s sanity. He follows rules. She makes her own. He’s planning for worst-case scenarios. She’s trying not to jump him in a castle hallway. And the worst part? The more they argue, the harder it is to remember why this was supposed to be a strictly professional trip.

Tensions are high. The stakes are higher. And between ancient feuds, competitive games, and one very inconvenient suite-sharing situation… the line between enemies and lovers is about to disappear completely.

Wrecked by You is a sexy, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy with snappy banter, forced proximity, and enough slow-burn tension to melt your passport.


✍️💬 Goodreads First Impressions: Early Praise from Beta Readers

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  (Gracelyn F)
This book is fantastic! I have a very hard time with finding many characters in romance novels realistic, however in this book, both protagonists seem like real people I’d be friends with IRL. There is the perfect amount of slow burn and spice and this book is not only a fast read, but one that feels like a hug. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  (CC) 

I feel so fortunate to have been selected as BETA reader for this Wrecked By You (Wilder Horizons): A Spicy Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity, Contemporary Romantic Comedy wich is the first book of the Wilder Horizons series.

And oh god, what a surprise. I was obscenely surprised in a good way. Kate's writing is beautiful. Truly is. And the sense of humor? So so so good.

This book is going to shatter people. Because the beginning is light and with lots of humor and with the romantic Highlands in background. But then? Then you are hit with a bulldozer called 

FEELINGS. 

And it's not just the characters, YOU feeeeeeeel it too. 

The love, spreading and taking over as a ivy plant does to a house.

And the sipcy scenes? Oh they spice😄Be prepared for never look at a closet the same way.

I hope many of you, readers, can let this book take over your heart and treasure it.

These were 5 of my favorite quotes (no spoliers):

"Why the hell are you still looking at me like you're still starving?"

"If this is foreplay, I’m not surviving the main event."

"And when I came - slow, deep, eyes wide open - I saw him.

All of him.

And he saw me."

"We devoured each other like dinner, drinks, and dessert, and we licked the plate clean."

"You lit the match, Harrington. Burn with me."

You guys you are up for a ride… start as soon as you can…

A gorgeous heroine and a former navy seal 😋 falling in love in the beautiful landscape of Scotland!

Rayann a tough, fierce, intelligent and chaotic young woman who can conquer the world in her high heels is on an enemy sort of bases with her co-worker Max. He is organized, always calm and stoic and the quite opposite of her.

The story is narrated from Rayann‘s point of view. I loved the description of her feelings which where very detailed. Kate Sweden‘s writing style is definitely top shelf! I felt everything threw Ryann…(my heart almost bursted with emotions) … from the early antagonizing feelings - Max goes under her skin with his spreadsheets and back up plans for everything - over her blooming feelings for him, to each and every intimate thought when touched by him and being very - very - close to him.

Oh is it hot in here… or is it just me? Well there are enough 🔥 scenes that you may have to pause and go fan yourself!

It was interesting to read a single POV - I’m more familiar with dual and I’m not a very patient woman so I had to scream at my tablet multiple times because I wanted to know what Max was thinking.

I could empathize Rayann… that she is on the precipice of loosing it because Max is always so calm and put together… he almost never looses control or his composure… well…🤫 Rayann may have intel on how to do it…

Oh boy! All of it was so good… I loved every second of reading - I laughed and cried, don’t worry there where mostly happy tears - and I’m amazed by their story.

The epilogue and the bonus scene where something else… and I bet you you will also love all of it…. You guys you are up for a ride… start as soon as you can…

I ate this book up. No crumbs left behind. Rom-com with SPICE and so well done. The FMC Rayann is so relatable. Every single anxious thought or wild emotion was right up my alley. The MMC, Max, is a brooding, grumpy, always put together guy and the way the two worlds collide is so much fun. I just loved the ride. The characters were funny and HOT. The book was HOT. Great time!

These book tropes were so good in this book!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Kelly)
Started reading this book and just couldn’t stop! I love romance and smutty novels like this! The story line was just great and god do I love a MMC that’s grumpy and prides himself on never losing control, plus a FMC like Rayann who’s a total boss a** B*tch. She knows she’s a lot to handle but also amazing at her job and how she can handle situations. I love the competitiveness of the two characters and the steamy scenes between them ! They were straight 🔥🔥🔥 I highly recommend this read to find out how it ends! This book is so worth the read and im thrilled I got to read it!
