I don't think I have ever read about two more wild and stubborn people
I don't think I have ever read about two more wild and stubborn people who loved to get into mischief! They both want their independence--or do they? Brindle took off to Paris to figure out what she really wanted--and found out she was pregnant. Home again and lied to her on again off again boyfriend and her family. Trace. said boyfriend was understandably upset when she told him that the baby was not his. He had always loved Brindle but knew better then to rush her into anything!Eventually Brindle realizes that she has to tell him and her family the truth about just who the baby's father was.Lots of drama with these two--and lots of Brindle trying to learn about happy relationships from the females in town including her Mom.I particularly liked the ending----I think I now know where Brindle got her temperament!!

This was a wonderfully romantic book. These two have been in love with each other since early teenage years. Brindle Montgomery and Trace Jericho are the ultimate “it” couple in their small town.

Brindle is a 25 year old woman that loves to party at the creek, dancing on Tuesdays at the local bar on Girls’ Night Out and being with Trace. She is an English teacher at the local high school but she has problems with communicating with Trace though. Trace for his part is a 28 year old cowboy that didn’t go to college as he didn’t want to be away from Brindle or the ranch for long. He now helps to run the family ranch with another brother and sister due to his father’s health. Trace loves his monthly early morning horse riding with his brothers and loves his Mustang (his pet name for Brindle).

Brindle returns to Oak Falls after an extended stay in Paris, France. She is pregnant and she goes to the Jerichos’ barn bash to tell her family and Trace. Unfortunately Trace jumps to the wrong conclusions as to the paternity and the book really starts with glimpse into their relationship.

I adored how these two get over the misunderstanding and how they work on their relationship. It was a refreshing change to see the continued growth of these two and the lengths they went to to work on the relationship and themselves.

While this is a part of a series, you don’t have to read in order to comprehend this story. Also it is a sexy read. I highly recommend this to anyone over the age of 18.

I've been waiting for this story since we met Brindle & Trace at the end of Violet's story, Bayside Escape (Bayside Summers Book 4). These 2 steam up the pages like a key of dynamite. I couldn't put this story down until that I got to the end. These two have been friends, lovers, on-again/off-again since they were teenagers playing out in a small town where everyone knows everyone and their business. Their love for the other is fierce and passionate. Their main problem is a lack of communication. They have been in each others lives for years and yet, instead of explaining what is on their mind & in their hearts, when they argue, they get mad & react! And those reactions cause explosions like fireworks going off on the 4th of July. Added to this communication problem, they have a baby on the way. They both love each other, no doubt about it. But, they both know that they can't continue things as they have. With the help of their family & friends, they start on the road to their HEA! They also find out how the town has been pulling for them when it is discovered that during a time that Brindle was across the pond for a few weeks, a social media account was set-up for #TeamTrindle! Which explodes after Trace posts a picture about how they are officially off the market & definitely together!! Then, when it is discovered they are expecting a baby, #TeamFilly or #TeamColt are created and has everyone betting on whether they are having a girl or boy!!! Trace & Brindle come up with a clever baby reveal at an annual charity race called the Turkey Trot!! You're going to have to read the story to find that part out!! So now we have #TeamTrindleTrio!! Another great book Melissa Foster!! Looking forward to the next one.

Brindle has just returned from a trip to Paris and she has come to the Halloween party at the Jericho’s barn to see her family. But she has a small secret she needs to tell them about. Not really think she takes off her coat and the small secret is revealed. Her small baby bump. The one person she didn’t want to tell like this is right behind her. And now he finds out but after she try’s to run off he says something that just hurts and she tells him a lie. That the baby isn’t his. Trace can’t believe that Brindle is back but before he can welcome her back he is shocked with the evidence of her pregnancy and the hurt makes him say something hurtful to her. Now she has to find away to fix this and her relationship with Trace. Trace need to fix his relationship with Brindle and if he can’t be her lover he needs to be her friend. So enjoy another good read and see if they work it out!!

After I finished Trails of Love, I couldn't wait to dive into Wild, Crazy Hearts!!! Especially after the epilogue that tells us Brindle comes back from Paris pregnant, I had to know that story!!
I have loved Trace and Brindle since we first met them, so I couldn't wait to see what their story was. And I wasn't disappointed!!!
Trace is just Trace! He's a hunky, cocky, amazing cowboy who gave his heart to Brindle as a teenager, but he can't admit it because he's playing by her rules. She doesn't want a commitment because she thinks it will change things between them, so they've had a "no strings attached", passionate, raging kind of relationship for years. But since Trace loves Brindle so much, he goes along with whatever she wants. That is until she comes back from Paris pregnant and thinks it's another guy's baby.
Brindle always seems like the wild child, up for anything, fun loving girl. But really, she was in love wth her cowboy and really didn't know what to do about it. So, she goes to Paris for 6 weeks by her self to try to figure out if what her and Trace has is deeper then just incredible sex. Along the way, she finds out she's pregnant. She decides to do the right thing once she gets home, but in true Brindle fashion, screws it up because she's scared.
Luckily, it doesn't take them both to apologize and get on the right track with each other. I loved watching them finally expressing themselves honestly and working on their relationship. I was hoping that the baby would have been born by the end of the book, but it wasn't. Now, I need more books in the series to come out!!!

Any way, this book was amazing. It gives you a real look at what real relationships are. The up and downs.
I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series and learning about the Braden’s and the Jericho families.

If your a fan of Melissa Foster then you already know that your in for a wild crazy ride in this addiction to the series.

Brindle Montgomery thought she needed to leave Pleasant Hill, leave her cowboy behind to see if how she felt was real and not clouded by history and lust. A few months in Paris and she back home to tell the man she loves that not only does she want to commit to a relationship with him but that she’s also carrying his baby. However their reunion does not go as planned....

Trace Jericho has been in love with Brindle since their were teenagers but he’s always played by her rules, that meant no long term commitments and hanging out together as ‘friends/lovers’. However he’s now spent a few months without Brindle, during this time he’s drove everyone nuts.... he’s missed her more than he thought he would but he’s also hurt, her leaving him wasn’t something he wanted but he knew he couldn’t push her into staying either. When seeing Brindle for the first time his first thought is that she’s been with someone else, he didn’t imagine the baby would be his until he hears thoughts few words come out of her mouth ‘ the baby isn’t yours’.

Read how two people learn to grow from their teenage relationship and have one as adults. One who is afraid of commitment and one who is worried if they push to much the other will run.

This story was fantastic, you could see from previous books how much these two loved each other but were scared of making that change. This is another great hit from Foster and I can’t wait to read more from this series!

Another incredible book by Melissa!!!

Brindle and Trace are in love with each other but neither wants to admit their feelings because they don't know how the other feels. When Brindle comes home from Paris she makes a mistake which she instantly regrets. This mistake however does not hold Trace back and he makes it known he is there for her no matter what. When the mistake is rectified Trace is hurt but is determined to make Brindle realise she is the one he wants. They both realise for it to work they both have to make changes also do some growing up.

Reading how their relationship grows and realising just how much they love each other melts your heart. They both go out of their way to show each other how much they want their relationship and the ending was emotional but in a very good way.

I cannot wait to read the continuation of their relationship when I read the following books in the series, which believe me I will be. I also cannot wait for the next books in the series to enjoy the other characters stories and can I just say I want to read Nana's story because I can guarantee that would be hilarious, I love her character so much!!!!

Highly recommended and I will leave you with one last comment.....

Wild, Crazy Hearts is the long awaited story of Brindle Montgomery and Trace Jerico. Their relationship has been on and off for years, but Brindle's decision to go to Paris alone brought everything to a head. However the news she brings back with her return turns both their lives upsidedown.

This story has lots of ups and downs, but the desire to make the relationship better keeps the story moving quickly along. Another hot romance that we come to expect from this author.
