Wild Child (A Soul Sister Novel) Paperback – November 2, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
Twice my life changed in a single day.
The first was when I lost my parents. Hand in hand I walked with my big sister up the steps of Kerrighan House, a foster home for girls. We were lucky to be met with open arms and a house filled with children just like us. Children who’d lost everything. From that day forward, we were raised as one big family. Our bonds of sisterhood were strengthened through shared experience, pain, sacrifice, and love. Sisters not by blood, but by choice.
Soul sisters.
The second day my life changed was on the worst day of my adult life. My boyfriend broke up with me via text. My sleazy boss hit on me, forcing me to quit a job I desperately needed. And the cherry on top, was getting pulled over by an FBI Agent. Little did I know, he’d also save my life that night.
From the moment we met, Agent Fontaine wouldn’t dare let me out of his sight. And between his alpha ways, kind brown eyes, and heroism, I was lost to the man who hid behind his job. But this agent had a rule: never fall for a woman you’ve saved.
Yet I wasn’t just any woman. I was known among my sisters for taking risks and dreaming big. I was the wild child of the group. We were raised to appreciate every day as the gift it was, and not let anything stand in our way. The more I got to know the brooding, serious FBI man, the more I realized maybe it was my duty to save him.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2024This romantic tale by Audrey Carlan unfolded like a psychological thriller filled with suspense. I anticipated a story about a girl weary of her life, who gets intercepted by someone I assumed was a policeman, only to discover he was an FBI Agent who ultimately saves her life. Simone Wright-Kerrighan's life has been challenging. She lost her parents in a house fire when she was a young girl, spent many years in a foster home with her biological sister, her soul sisters, and her foster mother, Mama Kerri. Now, she has grown up. She juggles three jobs, none of which are ideal for her, resides in a cramped apartment alone, and strives to complete her college education. Yet, her life as she knows it could transform in a moment. Believing it to be a stroke of luck, she found twenty dollars to fuel her car and stopped at a gas station. As she was leaving, she noticed the clerk waving frantically to catch her attention. The simple decision to fill up her car set her on a new path. Suddenly, amidst sirens, police, and gunfire, she found herself at the heart of a crime that would steer her towards a future grimmer than her present course.
FBI Agent Jonah Fontaine is hot on the heels of the Backseat Strangler, a man notorious for strangling his victims. In pursuit of a lead, he is directed to a car potentially harboring the wanted criminal. With sirens wailing and weapon at the ready, he stops a young woman, who unbeknownst to him, is the next intended victim. However, this night would deviate from the pattern. As he secures the woman's safety, he is shot in the shoulder. Amidst the chaos, it is the stunning Simone who captivates him. Now, he has two compelling reasons to remain in Illinois: to apprehend the dangerous fugitive and to pursue Miss Wright-Kerrighan.
This book was a delightful read. It was refreshing to see that the romance didn't just stem from an initial sexual attraction but developed through overcoming challenges together. The characters, Jonah and Simone, navigate through their troubles to form a happy union. Alongside Jonah's issues with his brother, the story introduces Simone's sisters, adding layers of suspense to the narrative.
I will be reading another series by Audrey Carlan, known as the Soul Sister Novels. This series features a group of young women fostered by Mama Kerrigan, including Simone and her sister Sonia, Addison, Blessings, Genesis and her daughter Rory, Charlotte, and Tabitha. These women share a deep love for one another and regard themselves as soul sisters. Each has endured a significant loss that led them to Mama Kerrigan's foster home. Loved this story and would highly recommend this book for reading.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It has been a while since I have read an Audrey Carlan story, and they never disappoint Wild. Child is no exception. It has everything from sweet to sexy, perfect storyline, that special something that keeps you hooked, but the emotional aspect was everything for me. Audrey has portrayed a beautiful lead character who will take your breath away, laughs with her, cry with her and feel all of her fear!
Simone Wright- Kerrighan has had a tough life, she lost her parents in a house fire as a young girl, spend many years in a foster home with her real sister, and her soul sisters and of course her foster mother, mama Kerri, now she’s grown up us her life is still not hunky dory…. She holds down 3 jobs, nine of which are great for her, she lives in a shoebox apartment by herself and struggles to finish college. But her world as she knows it would change in an instant…. The choice to put gas in her car, would change the path of her future. Add sirens and police and gunfire she finds herself front and centre of a crime that will create a new future that is worse then her current trajectory.
FBI agent Jonah Fontaine, is hot on the heals of the backseat strangler, a horrible man who strangles all of his victims. While following a lead he is lead to a car that may be carrying the elusive criminal, with sirens blaring and guns drawn he pulls over a young lady who is his next unsuspecting victim, sadly on this night it wasn’t to be… As he pulls over the woman, he clears her from the vehicle before he is shot in the shoulder, but it is gorgeous Simone who takes his breath away. Now he has 2 reasons to stay in Illinois, one to find and catch this madman, and two, to win over miss Wright- Kerrighan.
As both Jonah and Simone come to grips with their misfortune and luck at the same time, the strangler takes a torrid turn himself, he doesn’t like losing and letting Simone get away wasn’t in his plans, now all of her family and friends are targets. Jonah is hellbent in keeping them all safe, but it comes at a cost to his own family. As each of Simone’s family come together it is clear their incredible bond ever as adults, but whether their bond can keep them all safe is another. In a fast paced, heart racing ending, nit everyone comes away unscathed, and it will forever alter the Kerrighan House family.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2021I absolutely fell in love with Wild Child! I got this book based off reading the blurb. As it began, it sounded interesting. As I continued to read it, it just sounded more and more interesting and as soon as I saw that the hero was an alpha (swoon) I was ready to one-click. I kept reading though and then as I got to the end of the blurb, when I read "The more I got to know the brooding, serious FBI man, the more I realized maybe it was my duty to save him." Well let's just say I knew this book had to be mine. And I just loved it! It was suspenseful, funny, sweet, hot, and heartbreaking. You will love Simone, you will love Jonah. You will also fall for all of her sisters, her niece, Mama Kerri and Jonah's family and his best friend. I really try hard not to give specific spoilers so do what I did and read the blurb for a little bit about what happens. After that definitely-one click. You won't be sorry. I can't wait to read the next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kept me on the edge of my seat!
5/5 ⭐️
I love me a wild ride, and this book delivered that tenfold.
This book is thrilling, captivating and kept me on the edge of my seat (or bed), so many twists I didn’t even see what was coming next.
Normally I am pretty good with picking up on things, but with Wild Child, I truly had no clue - and because I had no clue what was going to happen next, I had to keep flipping pages to find out.
My heart was wrecked and completely destroyed at one point, but thankfully there was a HEA for everyone to enjoy (THANK GOODNESS).
From the start of this book, you’ll be taken on a wild ride — this author just jumped right on in, so buckle up .... you’ll need to hold on for this ride.
Pick up this book immediately if you love —
✔️ Suspense
✔️ FBI/Law Enforcement
✔️ Family Support
✔️ HEA
✔️ Thriller
✔️ Romance

Rollercoaster are my most favourite rides. The rush, excitement and sudden drops are always so thrilling.
Wild child is one crazy rollercoaster ride. It has so many twists and turns and even , in typical Audrey style, a few stop the ride moments too.
Simone and Jonah lead us on this intense story while even finding things they weren't looking for.
Audrey brings out all the emotions as only she can.
A definite 5 stars read

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn’t put it down!
I loved this book and the characters from start to finish...so much so that I read it with 3 days and now want to know what happened next to Jonah and Simone.
What I love about this book is that you had a gritty storyline with the killer but the blossoming romance with the two main characters.
Definitely a must read to all Audrey Carlson fans!!!
