Wild Ones by Kristen Wyllys is the first book in The Lane series. If I had to pick one word to describe this book it would be turbulent. It is a rather violent romance that centers around Luke, a boxer and Bri, a waitress who ran away from her abusive boxer father when she was 17 years old. Both characters have very volatile emotions and when those emotions clash it's like a flame to kindling, and not in a good way. They spend a good portion of their time fighting and yelling at each other. Be still my heart... 
 Wild Ones is an intense read that takes you down into the depths and drama of the life of Bri. She is a no holds barred kind of girl with a self-destructive streak a mile wide. Her inner voice and decisions, at times, are almost painful to read. Luke the hero isn't a whole lot better. This isn't a sunshine and roses kind of romance. It has a darker, hard edge feel to it. It's fast paced with drama, sex, violence and romance. The characters are unapologetically flawed and it makes for an interesting read.
