Thank you to Melanie Hepburn, Bronzewing Books, and NetGalley for the ARC. My review is voluntary, and all opinions are my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was well written with characters I felt were believable. Each written showing emotions and the story was filled with laughable moments. I did like that the heroine was portrayed as a curvy girl. Add to that a man who was attracted to a curvy girl. Story had some spice to it! I will definitely look for other books by Melanie Hepburn in the future.

Harper and Logan are mesmerizing. Hepburn brings angst and emotion together. Wilde Secrets blends small town sweetness with big city drama and finds it's heart waiting on the horizon.

Wilde Secrets by Melanie Hepburn is a small-town romance that delivers on its promise of a cozy yet steamy escape. The story centers around Harper Holden, a talented songwriter whose life takes an unexpected turn, leading her to the small town of Cape Wilde. There, she encounters Logan West, a seemingly gruff but ultimately golden-hearted carpenter.

Hepburn crafts a compelling dynamic between Harper and Logan. Harper, a curvy female main character (FMC), is portrayed as both vulnerable and resilient, grappling with the aftermath of a career-altering event. Logan, the "grumpy, golden retriever" male main character (MMC), is a classic small-town loner with hidden depths and a strong protective instinct. Their initial reluctance to engage with each other quickly gives way to an undeniable attraction, forming the core of the narrative.

The small-town setting of Cape Wilde is more than just a backdrop; it's a character in itself. Hepburn effectively uses the community to support Harper's journey, adding a layer of warmth and camaraderie to the story. The townspeople's involvement in helping Harper achieve her goals adds a unique and heartwarming element.

The plot revolves around Harper's need to write a crucial album within a tight three-week deadline. This creates a sense of urgency and provides a clear external conflict, balancing the developing romance between Harper and Logan. The book explores themes of second chances, finding love in unexpected places, and the courage to pursue one's dreams, even when faced with adversity.

While the romance is central, Hepburn also addresses Harper's personal struggles, including anxiety, stage fright, and difficult family relationships. These elements add depth to her character and make her journey more relatable. The book includes explicit content, catering to readers who enjoy a more sensual romance.

In summary, Wilde Secrets is a satisfying read for fans of small-town romance. It combines a compelling love story with engaging characters, a charming setting, and a touch of spice. Hepburn's writing style is engaging, making it easy to get lost in the world of Cape Wilde and invest in Harper and Logan's relationship.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

i thought the characters of Harper was a great one. her troubles but her grit was both endearing and inspiring. shes had a lot thrown at her but still she is determined to see things through.
the romance part felt genuine and heartfelt and the added tension was given by the time limit that Harper has to turn things around in her music career.
when things go wrong for her its not to see there are still kind people who when she moves to this small town, take her in and welcome her.
this could definitely be a hallmark move. although the added spice might mean maybe not,ha!
i really felt for Harpers struggles. and can totally see how they added to her lack of confidence in herself and so many areas of her life. i thought Logan was a great supporter for Harper ad their warmth towards eachother felt real.
this is a book full of charm and i really enjoyed it.

Wilde Secrets is about Harper Holden, the younger singer of professional singer Isla Holden. By accident, Harper confesses to a reporter how she is the one that writes Isla's songs. It leads to a big media frenzy. In return, Harper's dad sends Harper out of town to create a new ablum for her sister. Harper gets stuck in a pickle and carpenter Logan West is there to save her. I was not a fan of the pace of the story, it was a little too slow for me.
