A zookeeper always on the fringe learns to go after her wildest dreams—including a certain television star—in this charming and laugh-out-loud romantic comedy by Kerry Rea, author of The Wedding Ringer.

Lucy Rourke has two great loves in her life: the gorilla troop she cares for as a primatologist and the laundry list of reality TV shows she watches to escape the fact that her actual love life doesn’t exist. And like a reality contestant gunning for the final rose, Lucy’s laser-focused on one thing: getting promoted to head keeper. So when a wildlife docuseries hosted by hotshot TV personality Kai Bridges chooses her zoo as its summer filming location, she sees an opportunity to showcase her beloved gorillas to the world and land a starring role in her department.

When Kai and his film crew arrive, however, it's obvious to Lucy that Kai cares more about sky-high ratings than the gorillas, and he considers her a camera-averse know-it-all whose wardrobe consists entirely of khaki. But she’s surprised to discover there’s more to him than his rugged good looks and cheesy catchphrases...and that maybe a promotion isn’t the only thing she wants. But when secrets from their pasts threaten to complicate everything, Lucy discovers that happiness and success aren’t the same thing—and that finding joy just might mean getting a little wild.

This story is a sleeper hit! I'm so surprised by this author I've read 2 of her books this week and they are great. I've never heard of her before now and there were good ratings but very few of them. So I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I loved both, and this one is just as good as the 1st. the narration is wonderful, the story pulls you in, i laughed a lot and when I cried I ugly cried, ugh so good! I'm always looking for this perfect balance of action, comedy, romance, and just enough depth! aka All the feels! I haven't watched TV for days because once i started Ms.Rea's books. I have one more to go but I'm hoping she's writing more because she's now on my list to follow! it would be great if she could do a series instead of these standalone novels that leave you hating to see them end!

I thought this might be a light romantic read, and in some ways it is; but there were also these beautiful, thick plot/character developments that honestly got this whole world of Lucy Rourke and friends wrapped around my finger. Like I full-on cried at some of the (no spoilers here! They could be happy tears, who knows??) later developments. The book was the best mix of reality and fantasy. The relationships are rom-com-ish in a way that is also realistic and complex, I think that's the secret that turns this book from an easy breezy read to a memorable, emotional story. Thoroughly recommend for folks who enjoy the rom-com genre but also looking for something a bit deeper/more engrossing :)

I got more feels than anticipated!
