Summary

While on vacation, Hayden Blake and his ex-boyfriend get into an ugly argument. Needing some space, Hayden storms out of their rented cabin and gets not only lost it in the dense woods of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, but injured, as well. Being rescued is a miracle, but being rescued by a man who looks like a Norse god wearing plaid...that's a dream come true.

All Kurt Jorgenson wants is to go hunting and bag a sizable deer, but instead, he finds Hayden Blake, a city boy lost in Kurt’s forest. He takes Hayden home to care for his injuries, but Kurt finds himself drawn - in ways he hadn’t dreamed existed - to the young man he’s rescued and installed in his spare bedroom.

Kurt yearns to be everything Hayden needs, but he doesn't know where to start. Hayden desires Kurt and longs for a home, but he's not sure he has anything worthwhile to offer in return. However, with the help of a nosy librarian, a trip to Walmart, a pig named Wilbur, and cops bribed with cheese, Kurt and Hayden may find their way to a well-deserved happy ending.

Wild by Nature is a romance novella with a displaced twink, a confirmed bachelor, improper library behavior, pasties, shirtless wood chopping, fuzzy cows, and gas station pizza. It contains men falling in love, falling into bed, and just falling. Not necessarily in that order.

Note: This version has been expanded to include a new epilogue.

Delightfully fantastic

I found myself delighted in Van Dorn's newest book. Hayden and Kurt are dynamic together and are totally filled with humor and moments that make your heart race. I found the plot to be enjoyable and full of fun aspects. Truly a book that is good for a re-read or two.

Finding his own boy in the wild <3

Such an enjoyable romance from Lynn Van Dorn and Michael Ferraiuolo.
A perfect age gap romance with the boy, Hayden, being the more knowledgeable and experienced of the two. Kurt has never had a relationship but soon finds himself wanting so much more than that with Hayden.
They work really well together as a couple, Kjurt's innocence is so endearing which is balanced by Hayden's topping from the bottom. The story takes place over a short time period and with Hayden having just broken up with his boyfriend but the attraction between them is immediate and intense and they quickly build a connection, especially when one kink quickly brings their relationship to a new level.
The romance is very well written and it's so easy to fall into the story that develops for the two men. Lynn also writes a beautiful setting, allowing me to easily imagine the vistas.
Michael's narration is perfect for both of the characters. Kurt doesn't have a lot of life experience but is very intelligent and the balance is hit perfectly, especially when it comes up against Hayden who is going through a lot but is also sure what he wants from Kurt. I fell right into the story and the voices that Michael provides match up with how I imagine the characters to sound.

Great Relationship & M Ferraiuolo is Amazing!

WHOA 🔥
Holy smokes that's hot! Wild By Nature is a fantastic novella, made even better when performed by Michael Ferraiuolo. Gruff, older (and virginal) mountain man meets sweet, somewhat jaded, power-bottom - well I don't have to tell Mr. Ferraiuolo's fans that he kills this one.

Lynn Van Dorn always writes incredible relationships, and the speed at which she binds these two men is really something. They just need each other so beautifully, and their attraction simply works.

Fun little story, but mostly it's about the sparks between the couple and how beautifully Michael Ferraiuolo brings it all to life.

an audio copy of Wild By Nature was provided to me for the purpose of my honest review

Amazing as ever!

Amazing as ever!

I love Lynn’s style and these characters are as amazing as ever. Witty, sweet and steamy. This a fantastic short story, with a super hot daddy and a sassy lost boy. I felt this was more lighthearted than Lynn’s usual work but still such great depth of character. These characters play off each other so well and just melt into there perfect roles which also happen to be hot as hell! I just wish it was longer! I wanted more of Daddy Thor and his new boy 😉!

Michael is an exceptional performer and this was fantastic as always!

Extra note: I do have to say I found it so funny when Harry from Bond (by Piper Scott & Virginia Kelly aka Lynn Van Dorn) made an appearance as the neighbor, I can’t hear anything but Harry when Michael uses that voice LOL!

Fantastic as ever. I loved it!!!

Thanks for reading!

Sweet, Sexy Story

This is a fun, sweet, sexy, low angst story. I am not usually into 'Daddy kink' but Hayden is just so sweet and lovable, and Daddy Thor (Kurt) is gentle and clueless in an adorable way. He may seem to be issuing orders sometimes, but he never does anything he doesn't know Hayden wants. This is just a really fun, quick listen. And I loved the way the town looked after their own, including Hayden by proxy. And the ex? Yeah, he got what he deserved...in a pretty funny way too.

Wonderful narration, especially the voice of Hayden. One of my favorite narrators! He never disappoints.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

good

This was a new to me author but a narrator I had previously listened to. The story itself was why I wanted to grab this book. It turned out to be a good story. It was low on angst when it could have been pretty dramatic if the author had wanted. The narration was on point for the story.

Grwat book, full of snark

When Kurt stumbles across Hayden, he believes its a dead body, but luckily Hayden spoke at the right time. After nurturing Hayden back to health, Kurt realises he has feeling for the young man that he's saved.
Will a Romance develop or will ahaydens boyfriend finally turn up and start looking for him.
This book has the right amount of everything, love, laughter, snart, age gap. First time gay. You name it, it's in this book.
Narrated Well by Michael, I would highly recommend.
