Product Description
Avril Shearing is a landscape gardener brought in to reclaim an overgrown woodland for the handsome and manipulative Michael Deverick. But among the trees lurks a tribe of environmental activists determined to stop anyone getting in, led by the enigmatic Ash who regards Michael as his mortal enemy. Avril soon discovers that on the Kester Estate nothing is as it seems. Creatures that belong in dreams or in nightmares emerge after dark to prowl the grounds, and hidden in the heart of the wood is something so important that people will kill, or die, for it. Ash and Michael become locked in a deadly battle for the Wildwood - and for Avril herself.

My first experience of Janine Ashbless' writing has been a positive one. Wildwood has a sexy front cover - and a very sexy storyline. It starts off gently, giving you some necessary back story, but when the action kicks in, you're in for a wild ride!
Avril is a tree surgeon, and she's damn good at her job. Nevertheless, she's still surprised when entrepreneur Michael Deverick offers her a job on an estate he's renovating. Although she was happy in her job, Michael offered her a salary package she couldn't refuse. Unfortunately, not long after starting in her new role, Avril discovers that not the only package he's offering her. Unwilling to get embroiled in the whole 'shagging the boss' thing, Avril rebuffs his advances. Besides, she doesn't even like him that much. Does she? Maybe not as a person, but there's something about him that's piqued her interest.
Michael is a man that's not used to being turned by women, and it spurs him on even more to pursue his newest employee. Meanwhile, Avril has discovered that things aren't quite what they seem on the Kester Estate. There are a bunch of environmental activists living in the woods on the property, and at night there are strange beings wandering the land. Presently, Avril comes across the leader of the activists, Ash, and things start to become a little clearer.
It would appear there's a war afoot. Michael is determined to get into the wildwood, for reasons unknown, and Ash is determined to stop him. Avril is caught in the middle and unwilling to fall on either man's side until she knows more about what is going on. Trouble is, when she finds out, she is taken completely by surprise. What will she do? Both men are fighting over the wood, and Avril herself.
Avril ends up with more sex than she knows what to do with, but it still doesn't solve her dilemma regarding the wildwood. Soon, she realises she has to choose a side - and the man who represents it.
Book summary: hot. I really liked this unique supernatural twist to the book. Many supernatural erotica runs along the same themes, but this was something completely different to the books I've read in the past, and it completely worked. Throwing in old myths and legends to the mix really added to it, particularly for a history geek such as myself. Wildwood combines, sex, the outdoors, the supernatural and British myth and legend - some of my favourite things, and for this reason - it gets top marks from me. If you're of a similar opinion - buy it now.

When tree surgeon Avril is offered a job by the shadowy Michael Deverick after a chance encounter at a wedding, she has no way of knowing that there is more to the woodland on the Kester Estate than just trees. And when she meets the sinewy dreadlocked Ash, she is thrown into all manner of conflict - sexy nature boy versus sexy property magnate; environmentalist conscience versus money and power. But there is even more to it than that, as she is soon to find out.
As ever, Janine Ashbless offers us a sensual cornucopia, replete with ancient gods, forces of nature, lashings of al fresco delight and even a seduction scene at the Eden Project (I will never be able to look at those sculptures in the Mediterranean Biome in the same light again). Ash and Michael are both irresistible in their different ways - and for more reasons than are at first apparent.
Wildwood satisfies in so many ways - the kind of way one would expect from a Black Lace novel not least, but there is also something to please the historian, the naturalist, the folklore enthusiast and the lover of plain good writing alike. If you are looking for a read that is both arousing and intelligent, this will be right up your forest path.

Black Lace releases haven't impressed me in the last few years, but this one was excellent; Ashbless writes with humour and candour, the sex is hot ( the build-up with Ash is just electrifying, I got as frustrated with him as Avril must have been, lol ) and the plot was just awesome - my only problem with it was it needs to be a much longer book and thoroughly explore that story line with all the myths and legends ! It's nice to see an "alternative" man in a Black Lace as well, and a tomboy-ish, sporty girl.
If you like Arthurian myths, pagan legends, faeries, sex outdoors and the great British countryside, and hot sex, you'll like this :)
It left itself wide open to a sequel, so here's hoping :)
