Book description
Sebastian Rousseau isn't just a grumpy pilot with hands that could fix anything-he's a walking, talking complication. And as Elsie Silver masterfully delivers in Wild Card, he's also your ex-boyfriend's dad, living under the same roof a year after a chance meeting left you both stranded in tension. The setup alone is pure, delicious chaos.
What makes this audiobook crackle is how Silver turns "forbidden attraction" into something visceral. You don't just read the simmering heat between the characters-you feel it through the narrator's voice. That moment when Sebastian's low growl cuts through the silence? The way his voice drops on "damn" when he catches you watching him? The audiobook format makes the unspoken words land like punches. You hear the hesitation in his voice when he says, "We know the rules," but then you also hear the need underneath, the same need that's got you re-listening to that one line over and over.
Silver avoids clichés by making Sebastian's struggle real. It's not just about lust-it's about mending a fractured relationship with his son while wrestling with a past he can't outrun. And the heroine? She's not just chasing a man; she's fighting her own heart, admitting she's been thinking about him "when I fall asleep" for a year straight. That's the kind of raw, relatable longing that makes the tension unbearable in the best way.
The best part? The audiobook's pacing mirrors the story's slow burn. You don't rush for the payoff-you lean into every charged pause, every lingering glance. The narrator's delivery turns "mutual longing" into something you can almost touch, making you lean closer to your speakers, hoping the next line will finally break the dam. It's not just a love story; it's a masterclass in tension that makes you forget you're listening to an audiobook and just feel the story. By the time the rules get broken, you'll be hitting play for more before you know it.
