Dana's life with her boyfriend hasn't been satisfying. When he perks up and seems interested by the idea that they go camping, Dana reluctantly agrees. While in the camping store, she meets Hank. Sparks fly, forcing Dana to face what's missing in her current relationship.
When she tries to clear the air with her boyfriend, he breaks up on the spot.
Witnessing the break-up, Hank comes to Dana's rescue. When he asked her to meet him at a certain camping area, she throws caution to the wind and agrees. When they meet up, she finds herself offering him sex while he says no.
Annoyed by the rejection, she battles her fierce attraction. The problem is, Hank had just gotten out of a bad relationship and wants to take things slow and the speed of their intimacy bothers him.
As they get to know one another, they fall into love. Their camping weekend is dreamy and full of fantastic sex.
However when they return to real life, she's a web designer and he's a woodworker, can they reconcile their trust and esteem issues?
Wilderness Girl is a sweet erotic romance. I felt as I knew Dana and Hank and I was rooting for their happiness. I liked the different set up (with camping as a backdrop) although I kept thinking EWWW, you two need showers!
I felt he author portrayed a new love relationship, with its obsession and insecurities well. The story worked through their issues rather than glossing over them.

Book Blurb & Info for Wilderness Girl
Rating: Sizzling
Book Length: Category Novel
When Dana's boyfriend drags her to Wilderness Outfitters on a Friday night, she wonders why so many people find The Great Outdoors so great. Until she meets Hank--six feet of tanned muscle, wrapped in a faded black T-shirt and jean shorts loose on his hips. Eyes like wildfire burning in a sun-kissed face. Grinning like a fox. After her boyfriend dumps her in the parking lot, humiliation becomes gratitude when Hank invites her to his favorite camping spot, and she seizes on the impulse to change her boring life.
A web programmer, Dana's outdoor experience had consisted of walks to and from her car. Alone on a mountaintop, as she struggles to set up camp, a five-foot snake doesn't seem a welcome sight: until Hank comes to her rescue.
He initiates her to the pleasures of hiking, campfires, and Harley rides down winding roads. Making love beneath a starry sky, Hank awakens a primal Wilderness Girl in Dana she never knew existed.
Their weekend feels like a fantasy, which proves all too true on their return to civilization. As the daily grind eats into their time together, their romance begins to come untethered.
Will her high-tech lifestyle clash with his low-tech one? Can she manage to recapture the passion of the wilderness in their city existence?
Though an erotic story, it's also a very sweet romance.
