: Kat Taylor plays by the rules. Christopher Jacobs only follows one - always ask yourself: why the hell not? When Kat meets CJ during a critical time in her college career, CJ changes the way she thinks about everything, especially love.
----------------
Kat is a worrier. With every decision, she sees a list of all the things that could go wrong. So she plays it safe, avoiding risk at all costs. But as she works her way through her junior year of college, Kat can't help but feel dissatisfied with her life. What if making all the safe decisions her parents would approve of actually wasn't right for her at all?
CJ can't seem to catch a break. He's in the middle of dealing with a lifetime's worth of bad decisions when he meets Kat. Suddenly, CJ finds himself not just wishing to be better but trying to be. No matter how hard he tries, he can't help but wonder: What if some mistakes are truly unforgivable?
When their worlds collide and Kat's heart is on the line, she must face her most life-altering decision. Is it better to be safe... or to be wild?
: Meet Kat, an overthinking college student, raised to be perfect in every way. The pressure that she puts on herself, causes anxiety with the need to not just succeed, but to go beyond all expectations. She's never had time for a boyfriend due to her studies, so she's not sure how to navigate her feelings with the boy she just met at the college cafe.
Enters CJ, a laid-back charming man who attempts to get Kat to relax and enjoy life. However, he has his own demons to deal with. He leads Kat to believe that he is also a student at the school but lives off-campus in his own apartment. His secrets eat at him giving him a who cares attitude.

The author takes you on the adventure of Kat's and CJ's relationship. The highs, the lows, and how they maneuver through the story with their share of heartbreak. Their simple dates allow Kat to see a different side of herself. CJ shows her the freedom of following her heart.
Kat's roommate, Hannah, does not believe that CJ is good enough for Kat. CJ wants to think that he deserves Kat, but ends up pushing her away and into the arms of her childhood friend because of his insecurities and the aftermath of a poor decision on his part that affected Kat.
Will they find their way back to each other? Will CJ trust Kat enough to disclose his hidden side? I highly recommend that you read the story for yourself to find out. You will not be disappointed.
The author does well in showing how anxiety can affect the lives of people no matter what their background is or how they were raised. The characters were relatable and you find yourself feeling their emotions and turmoil throughout the story.
Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Your character development allows your readers to fall in love with and invest in their written lives. This story was very eye-opening for me, and I thank you for revealing the truths about mental health.
: In addition to Wild, Kjobrien authored the CLOSER TO YOU TRILOGY. Their ability to pull you into a story is admirable and their characters come to life and have you engaged right from the start.
