Description from the publisher:
Fate brought them together, but then it ripped them apart. Eight years later, Wilder is still wishing for more time with the beautiful submissive he held in his arms for a weekend, and Lydia is still searching for a man worthy enough to be called "Master."

At Oasis headquarters, they're in the business of making dreams come true—especially for the people who work there. When Lydia lands a job there, she is required to make a wish, only she doesn’t want to risk her heart, so she wishes to serve a Dom without the complications of a romantic relationship.

Wilder Burke, son of the Oasis founders, is just the man for the job. Years of accumulated misunderstandings means he must settle for the little bit she's willing to give. Will Wilder fight for Lydia, or will he let fate tear them apart once more?

Warnings: D/s, bondage, impact play
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
WANTING WILDER is the first book in the Safeword: Oasis series.  Each story will stand on its own, but I recommend reading them in the listed order.  This first story is a second-chance romance and is stunning.

Is it bad that I was humming Willie Wonka’s Pure Imagination song while deliciously devising my own wish to be submitted to Oasis, Inc.? Yes? No?  We’ll keep that our own little secret, okay.  Let me just say that Oasis probably wouldn’t exist as a real work place, but it is a great fantasy, just as Willie Wonka’s factory is the perfect fantasy for chocolate lovers.

On the other hand, Wilder Burke is the fantasy Dom of any little subbie’s dreams.  He sees Lydia.  Those three words are a complete sentence.  In some ways, more than the other three words we all want to hear.  He SAW Lydia when they were on Spring Break and they made the most of their weekend as he introduces her to BDSM.  He SEES her when they are reunited eight years later and he will move heaven, earth, the moon, and the stars to let her know that he does see her, respects her, and still wants her.  You know my word for that – sigh!!  

Misunderstandings suck, but the cure is communication.  Thank God for the wishes at Oasis, meddling friends, and determination.  I cannot wait for more trips to Vermont (despite the snow!).

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
