Book Review | The Wild Man

It’s release day for The Wild Man by Alex Grayson!

From USA Today Bestselling author, Alex Grayson, comes a dark, spicey Tarzan retelling…

I went into the wilderness in search of the person the town calls Wild Man.

Living on his own since he was a small boy, he raised himself.

When I found him, it wasn’t the experience I expected. He wasn’t what I expected.

A savage, more animal than man. Pure instinct was how he survived.

With his hand wrapped around my throat, he said only one word.

“Mine.”

Then he took me to his tree hut and wouldn’t let me go. He kept me naked and tied me to him with a rope. He was an anchor around me while I slept. He fed me by hand and forced me to bathe him.

Those are the tamer things he did. The others were much more… explicit.

I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t want his touch, although my body called me a liar. 

He’s a primitive uncaged animal who claims I’m his, and he’s hellbent on getting me pregnant.

No matter how much I fight him, he’ll never let me leave. I was his and he’d do anything to keep me.

Maybe in the end, he’ll make me just as wild as him.

And it’ll be me who won’t let him go.

I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was my first time ever reading this author, and I can say it was a great experience. After reading the blurb for this book, I immediately knew this was some thing I would want to read. It’s definitely different than anything else I’ve ever read before, especially for it being a Tarzan retelling. It was spicy, wild, emotional, and filled with ups and downs. Everlee and Wild Man were something else. I love the pushing pull between the two of them, especially on Everlee’s side. From the beginning, you can tell how much she wants to despise the Wild Man but he intrigues her so much that she can’t help but stay with him. They have a very interesting dynamic but I absolutely love them together so much!

I definitely didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. I really had no expectations going in other than knowing that I really wanted to read it, so overall, it was a pleasant surprise. It did take me quite a while to finish this, not only because of life, but because I had to keep stopping and starting over again just because of how heavy the content of the book is. This book definitely has a lot of trigger warnings, it’s very dark, so make sure you take that seriously before even thinking about reading this! Overall, I enjoyed this book so much, this is definitely a book I’ll be buying in paperback and I am definitely going to read more by this author in the near future.
