From New York Times bestselling author Megan Hart comes a haunting and insightful novel about a woman trying to find her place in the world… Brought up in the savage captivity of her unstable grandmother's rural Pennsylvania home, Mari Calder once yearned for rescue. Now she struggles every day to function as an adult in the confines of normal society. Left with only a foggy recollection of her childhood, she's consumed with being a dutiful wife to her husband, Ryan, and mother to their two children. But an unexpected twist of events returns her to that long-forgotten house in the woods. Soon, Mari is greeted with reminders of a past life, the clarified memories only inviting a new level of strangeness into her fragile world. To protect her family, she must find the beautiful, powerful strength hidden in her inner chaos. Because someone is bent on exploiting Mari's trauma, and as normal and wild begin to blend, a string of devastating truths force Mari to question all she thought she knew.

Megan Hart does a spectacular job giving depth and shadows to her characters, alongside a sexual passion more usually seen in romance. LOVELY WILD is about relationships, sexual and otherwise, and they change with time, perspective, and truth. Mari's character is often overshadowed by her mystery and circumstances, but in her present, I enjoyed seeing her as a mother (and Kendra's POV's were wonderful, too). Mari's relationships with men are both complex and emotionally remote, leaving me less invested in her marriage than I was in other parts of her family.
