 Dark Wild Night is the third book in the Wild Seasons series by Christina Lauren. I love this writing duo and the work they produce is top-notch, definitely in a league of their own. I cannot recommend this series enough. Before diving into this book, a short recap of the series for those who have not read it (what is wrong with you?); right after college graduation three girlfriends head to Vegas to celebrate before heading into the real world. They meet three guys who are celebrating their completion of an across the country bike ride where they volunteered to build low-income housing (aren't you already in love with them?). This chance meeting in Vegas and mucho alcohol later results with them pairing off and getting married. Yeah, three best friends marry three best friends. EPIC story-line!!!!!! Now, after two amazing couples, the long awaited friends to lovers story of Oliver and Lola (LOLIVER) is finally here. 
 Oliver and Lola like to think they were smarter than their friends when they annulled their unconsummated Vegas wedding the next morning before everyone parted ways. We knew from the start how the other couples hooked up but we were never privy to the deets regarding Oliver and Lola's night in Vegas. That is until now. I'm so so happy the authors gave us this information. It explains so much. Fast forward two books and eight months after Vegas, we see their friendship has grown, they have become really great friends, are living in the same city, hang out all the time, have a lot of the same interests, tell each other everything, rely on each other, and genuinely care and totally "get" everything about the other. In the previous book we see they both want more but think the other doesn't, so starts our enchanting and sizzling little story. 
 Until DWN, Lola was such a mystery to us. I liked her okay in the previous books but didn't feel like I had a handle on her at all. She was basically the quirky author/artist friend. As perfect as Oliver is (I'll get to him in a minute) SHE is what drove this story. I LOVED her character arc, her backstory, her struggles, misfires, vulnerability, and realness. She was young and a bit naive but she caught on and grew up fast. She won me over and I ended up with a great deal of admiration for her and the way she adjusted and changed her situation. OLIVER. OLIVER. OLIVER. He is....everything. One of the best book boyfriends I've ever read and I do not just throw that out there lightly. I texted one of my book friends , tears streaming over this man and his sweetness. I couldn't contain my feelings for him and just wanted someone at that very minute to know it. I relish characters that can bring out these emotions in me and Oliver did just that. He is the yummy, funny, lovable, sexy as sin with the Aussie accent nerd you'll want to keep all to yourself. Surprisingly, Oliver was a dirty dirty boy and that made me love him even more. 
 Christina Lauren could not have written a more perfect story for them. I laughed and cried, and don't get me started on the wayyyy hot dirty talk, the built up lust, and overall steaminess of this story. I loved it when all the friends were together, and Harlow (book 2) was ah-may-zing. After all this time, I'm still crushing on her. 
 Dark Wild Night is one of my favorites of the year and if you haven't read this series you need to jump on that right now.
