Wow！ This series is just flat out fantastic and I can't wait for the last book。 Karis and Jude have so much chemistry and with all of the suspense and twists it made this part of the series unputdownable！ I couldn't stop reading but didn't want it to end。 Bring on book4！！！。 I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 Wow！ This series is just flat out fantastic and I can't wait for the last book。 Karis and Jude have so much chemistry and with all of the suspense and twists it made this part of the series unputdownable！ I couldn't stop reading but didn't want it to end。 Bring on book4！！！。 I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

The Mysterious Reader ，

I’m very sad to write this review of Wilder Play。 Not because there’s anything wrong with the book。 In fact it’s just the opposite。 A near perfect story， and a wonderful conclusion to Karis and Jude’s romance that’s ties off all the story lines （yes， including who Karis’ dad is and why he wasn’t around for her） perfectly。 Suspense， romance， perfectly presented sports that gets into the heart of the athlete’s perspective， oh yes indeed， this is the ideal sports romance。 My only complaint is that I’m very sad to write this review of Wilder Play。 Not because there’s anything wrong with the book。 In fact it’s just the opposite。 A near perfect story， and a wonderful conclusion to Karis and Jude’s romance that’s ties off all the story lines （yes， including who Karis’ dad is and why he wasn’t around for her） perfectly。 Suspense， romance， perfectly presented sports that gets into the heart of the athlete’s perspective， oh yes indeed， this is the ideal sports romance。 My only complaint is that it ends， even if it ends oh so well。 Oh yes， there’s always something else to complain about。 Here it’s that I’d like to have had the sort of years later epilogue Ali Dean provided in her Pepper Jones tales。 Luckily the author says she’s going to provide an extended epilogue， Wilder Ace， doing just that。 Of course I’ll still have my “but it’s ended” complaint after that， but all things considered， crying over perfect endings to wonderfully written tales isn’t all that bad， so I suppose I will have to highly recommend this （really actually quite fantastic） novel after all。 。。。more

I was so excited to get a advanced reader copy through Bookspourt。 I couldn't wait to find out what happened to Karis' mom and who her dad was and where he's been。 Why was Renee and Battle being weird and acting to care？ There were so many questions from Wilder Match that I devoured this book。 I was trying to guess and just knew Ali was going to go with my way of thinking， but man she kept me on my toes and constantly saying wait what！！！！ Jude shows his protective side even more in this book the I was so excited to get a advanced reader copy through Bookspourt。 I couldn't wait to find out what happened to Karis' mom and who her dad was and where he's been。 Why was Renee and Battle being weird and acting to care？ There were so many questions from Wilder Match that I devoured this book。 I was trying to guess and just knew Ali was going to go with my way of thinking， but man she kept me on my toes and constantly saying wait what！！！！ Jude shows his protective side even more in this book then in the other two。 Their love and respect for each other is felt through Ali's words and just jumps off the pages right to your heart。 Karis grows so much more confident in Wilder Play and I love seeing it and how she respects and trusts herself more。 She opens up to the ones who love her and it warms your heart to finally see her having those kind of relationships since she has never had them before。There are many twists and turns in this book that I was not expecting， but they made it so much better！ I am very excited that this book did not end on a cliffhanger and that Ali tied it all up because I would not have been able to wait for the conclusion。I am stoked for Book 4 in this series， an extended epilogue， to see where Karis and Jude and all the loved Wilder/Jamison family members end up！ Maybe we will get another spin off of the next generation！！ 。。。more

I absolutely loved this story！ I loved getting to pick up right where we left off with these two。 This is the 3rd and final book in the series （just an extended epilogue/novella next） and I highly recommend reading the previous two books to fully understand what is going on in the story and the relationship between Jude and Karis。 They are all very closely related and pick up where the last one leaves off。 With that said， this was a great story！ We finally get to see what happened to Karis's mom I absolutely loved this story！ I loved getting to pick up right where we left off with these two。 This is the 3rd and final book in the series （just an extended epilogue/novella next） and I highly recommend reading the previous two books to fully understand what is going on in the story and the relationship between Jude and Karis。 They are all very closely related and pick up where the last one leaves off。 With that said， this was a great story！ We finally get to see what happened to Karis's mom and find out information about her father。 We get to see Jude and Karis overcome even more obstacles and knock down those walls and barriers that stood between them being on the same page and fully committed。 I loved watching team they formed and Karis coming out of her shell with more than just Jude。 This was a great story and I loved the bits that we got to know about the rest of the Wilder family and friends and I really really really hope that we get more of the Wilder children's stories as I have already fallen in love with quite a few of them lol。 I loved getting to come back to this world that we were introduced to in the Pepper Jones series and I really hope that we get more stories to come！ This story had everything needed， action， intrigue， and heart as we watched these two come together and build something great。I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book。 。。。more

This book， as are all of Ali Dean's， was a quick and easy read。 The 2nd book was left on a cliffhanger so go back and read the last chapter if it has been a while。 The thing I love most about this story is that you can tell how much Jude honestly and genuinely adores Karis。 It goes against her nature to let someone past her walls and see her demons。 Jude doesn't let that stop him or really even bother him。 He just keeps showing her that he isn't going anywhere and will always be there for her。 A This book， as are all of Ali Dean's， was a quick and easy read。 The 2nd book was left on a cliffhanger so go back and read the last chapter if it has been a while。 The thing I love most about this story is that you can tell how much Jude honestly and genuinely adores Karis。 It goes against her nature to let someone past her walls and see her demons。 Jude doesn't let that stop him or really even bother him。 He just keeps showing her that he isn't going anywhere and will always be there for her。 And believe me， with all the mystery and action in this book， there are plenty of times he does that for her。 。。。more

This series just keeps getting better， this one starts where the last ones end。 I enjoyed seeing Karis and Jude grow closer as a couple。 There were many twists and turns that left me questioning a lot about what has happened in all the books being filled with secrets and danger that had me invested from the beginning。Should note that this book is part of a series so you need to read the previous books

I am obsessed with this book。 It’s the perfect ending to the trilogy。I love Karis and Jude just as much as I love Pepper and Jace。Karis is such a strong character but she needs the love and support she gets from the Wilder family to know that she’s not alone。 Jude needs Karis to humble him。

Karis and Jude are a real pleasure to read。 Great character development through the storyline with plenty of twist and turns to keep you guessing。 Really looking forward to reading the next one to see how it ends

I have never read Ali Dean’s books before but this book sounded interesting， but it was the third book in the series， so I went ahead and got the first book to try out。 I really got into it and got the second book and then read this ARC。I really really enjoyed this book （as well as the first two）。 This is the third book in the story of Jude and Karis。 For those that read the Pepper series， Jude is Pepper and Jace’s son。 Jude is the popular boy at school and Karis is the girl from the wrong side I have never read Ali Dean’s books before but this book sounded interesting， but it was the third book in the series， so I went ahead and got the first book to try out。 I really got into it and got the second book and then read this ARC。I really really enjoyed this book （as well as the first two）。 This is the third book in the story of Jude and Karis。 For those that read the Pepper series， Jude is Pepper and Jace’s son。 Jude is the popular boy at school and Karis is the girl from the wrong side of the tracks。 Her mom and older sister are both con artists and blackmailers and most people in town hate them。 Karis feels the brunt of this and is dying to get out of town and go to college where she can start over。 She is an amazing tennis player and that is her ticket out。 She lands on Jude radar when his little sister becomes Karis’s fan。 The first two books are about how they fall for each other， the development of their relationship and the complications that ensue。 This book takes off where the second left off。 Karis finally opens up to Jude and lets him in and he in turn communicates more with her and more complications ensue。This was an amazingly well written book。 Ali Dean does a phenomenal job of sucking you into the story， getting you invested in and liking （or hating） the characters。 The plot was somewhat unbelievable， but the beauty of Ali Dean’s writing is that I didn’t care。 I also figured out who the obsessed person was， and I was correct but again I didn’t care。 The ride was that enjoyable。 And despite the book being about teenagers， the writing was mature， characters fleshed out and I didn’t cringe on reading it。 I am looking forward to reading the 4th book in the series and Peppers story。 I highly recommend it。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more
