Wild Dreams

Wilder Irish, Book 12

By: Mari Carr

Narrated by: Lee Daniels, Connor Brown, Oliver Highpoint

Dream big. Dream wild.

Oliver has always longed for a love just like his parents have—all three of them. He’s certain he’s already halfway to that happily ever after. His foster brother calls it wild, but Ollie knows they can find the woman of their dreams.

Gavin has always accepted that life is just one disappointment after another. Growing up in the foster care system taught him that. Oliver is one of the few people he can trust, so he prefers they stay a two-man band.

Erin is the curvy, spunky brunette neither of them saw coming. But fate has another wild card in store for the three of them, one that will test everyone’s faith in their very different dreams for the future.

Wild Dreams

Wild Dreams is the twelfth book in the Wilder Irish series. Oliver was raised by one mom and two dads. He was raised in a family that accepted any form of love. He always imagined his future to have multiple lovers like his parents. Gavin and Oliver were best friends as boys. Gavin moved in with Oliver and his family when he was a teenager. His mother had mental and substance problems. Oliver and Gavin both were into each other. Oliver could see Gavin as one of his future partners. The only problem Gavin was not into women. Oliver and Erin started dating in their twenties. She knew of Oliver’s dating preferences and dreams. Gavin and Oliver lived in the apartment above Pat’s Pub. One day it caught fire in the restaurant half and burnt down. They were homeless and needed a place to stay. They moved in with Erin, and things got interesting.

Lee Daniels, Connor Brown, and Oliver Highpoint did a fantastic job narrating this book.

Book 12 - Wilder Irish

This is book 12 in Carr's Wilder Irish series and can be read / listened as a standalone. Oh - pop pop...how I love his love for family! Our main characters are Oliver, Gavin and Erin. Oliver has come from a family full of love, where Gavin struggles with what love means from how he was raised early on. I love the storyline on this, while short, it's full of content and gives the background needed to relate to these characters individually and together. I love that Oliver has big dreams for his life and never gives up on them. I also adore the level of maturity and communication displayed. Overall, a beautiful read / listen of love, hope and family. Well written and beautifully narrated. I can't wait for more in this series!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

It's Electric!

Oliver "Ollie" Collins, Gavin Hawke, and Erin McCaffrey are electric together! I absolutely love them as a unit. They are hot, playful, and have a good foundation. Plus, they have plenty of familial support.

Gavin's past is wretched and when his past meets his present... let's just say that it's all heartbreaking in so many ways. I do like how Erin and Ollie react to the childhood scars and how the rest of the Collins Clan accepts him as one of their own.

Other than knowing that Erin is tenderhearted and a good fit for both men, I felt like I didn't really get to know her. That said, there's a chance that earlier books in the series filled that in a little. As I've read a couple here and there, I can't say with certainty. Either way what I do see, I like.

I plan on going back and reading both series, Wild Irish & Wilder Irish, in order at some point. While it'll likely enhance the experience, prior reading isn't required to enjoy this.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrators are Lee Daniels, Connor Brown, and Oliver Highpoint. They are all wonderful narrators.

Emotional read…

Wild Dreams is book twelve in the Wild Irish series. It is a MMF, contemporary romance. I love visiting with all the Collins Family. There is drama, excitement, sadness and love. This story is an emotional roller coaster ride with all the feels. I absolutely love Oliver, Gavin and Erin together. The bond between these three is amazing and beautiful. And of course I adore Pop-Pop and all his wisdom.

Lee Daniels, Connor Brown and Oliver Highpoint did a great job bringing this story and these characters to life.
