Synopsis
I’m so fucking pissed off that she would do this to me.
I really thought we had something, but instead, I’m left feeling like an idiot.
All I want to do is go back home and forget the last few weeks ever happened, but I’m stuck in this stupid country teaching tennis to spoiled rich kids who care less about playing than I do.
All I want to do is forget about her.
But things are never that easy, are they?

Review
After reading Wildcard, Volume 2, it’s clear to me that the person who could send Ryder and Scarlett’s relationship into turmoil is actually Scarlett. Sure, Ryder comes with his own set of issues, but it’s been pretty obvious since he started this thing with Scarlett that she does something to him that nobody else has before. He wants more than one night with her…more than just sex. He may not be good at a relationship, but he’s not scared away from pursuing what he wants. Scarlett, on the other hand, is a ticking time bomb. She has a past that is creeping back up on her, and it, or should I say he, won’t go away until she’s paid up. Scarlett is keeping both Ryder and readers in the dark about what her ex has on her, but one thing’s for sure, it has to be pretty bad if she’s willing to take extreme precautions to keep her secret from being exposed. Ryder knows she’s hiding something big, but she doesn’t want his help…too bad she isn’t going to have a choice because he won’t allow her to struggle like she is when he can do something to help. When Volume 2 ends, both Ryder and Scarlett are scrambling to fix her problem albeit with differing tactics, and it’s too soon to tell if either of their plans will garner the results necessary to allow Scarlett to move on with her relationship with Ryder and keep her son safe and healthy.
Wildcard, Volume 2 offers both Ryder and Scarlett’s perspectives, which allows readers to understand how both are feeling as they work to make a relationship work amidst the chaos of Ryder’s stardom and Scarlett’s issues with her ex. Ryder and Scarlett definitely have chemistry and help keep each other steady, but where there’s a breakdown with them is in terms of their ability to communicate, which, in the end, might cost them everything their working towards.
I can’t wait for Volume 3 to see how Ryder handles a certain news reporter, and what happens with Scarlett’s plan to force her ex out of the picture. One thing’s for sure, it’s going to get a hell of a lot more complicated before anything gets settled not only between Ryder and Scarlett but also in terms of Ryder’s career.
A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.
