About this audiobook
Her power-hungry husband takes pleasure in her pain, but she’s done playing the victim.
Three years ago, ex-operative Sophie Jordan made the mistake of falling in love—and marrying—her target. Now she’s paying for it tenfold. Her husband might be one of the sexiest men alive, but he’s also a psychopath. She’s been a virtual prisoner, and the time has come for retribution—and escape.
Undercover agent Malcolm Gunnison has his orders: get intel from Sophie’s arms-dealer husband, then kill him. He plans to get rid of her, too, if she gets in his way, but he’s unprepared when she gets under his skin instead. Whose side is she on? And what is she hiding behind those mesmerizing eyes?
Sophie vowed to never fall for another man again, but this sexy undercover agent is different. With danger mounting, can Malcolm and Sophie trust each other—and their growing passion—enough to get out of this operation alive?

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Sophie Jordan, a member of The Committee, met and fell in love with her first target, Archer MacDonald. Even before he hired someone to shoot and kill her, she had figured out her mistake. After initially being paralyzed from the bullet she took, Archer decided to keep her around on his private island where Sophie essentially became his prisoner. When the feeling started to come back into her legs, she kept it a secret and began training quietly and planning for her escape. Malcolm Gunnison's mission is to stop Archer from selling a biological weapon that one of his scientists had developed. What he didn't know was that Sophie was no longer in love with her husband and was looking for a way to kill him and get off the island.
The characters in Wild Fire are flawed in ways that makes them tough to like. Sophie has played the victim for so long that now she is only interested in revenge. Malcolm is a burned out agent who just wants to complete this one final mission and doesn't really care if Sophie gets away or not. Their negativity and unwillingness to work together makes it difficult to enjoy their story. Overall, a well written story, but not a very enjoyable read. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I stayed up last night to read Wildfire by Anne Stuart because I wanted to see what happened next. I found this to be a real page-turner, full of unexpected surprises. I've read some of the author's Regency books, but this was the first contemporary of hers I read and I enjoyed it quite a bit.Sophie is a prisoner on her husband's private island. An ex-operative for the Committee, she had made the mistake of falling in love with her target and marrying him. Now confined to a wheelchair, Sophie is subject to his abuse and mind games all the while plotting her escape.Meanwhile, the Committee (the organization that originally sent Sophie to kill Archer has now sent another undercover agent, Malcolm, to finish the job. Mal and Sophie become reluctant allies against Archer while both fight the instant connection between the them.I liked very much the connection between Sophie and Mal though I did wonder at Sophie's propensity for the quick attraction that occurred first with Archer, then Mal. Mal was able to explain both Sophie's failure to complete her mission and this attraction in a way that made sense to me. I did like that I was unable to determine some of the twists and turns; that's what kept me up reading. It was a quick read and I thank Netgalley for allowing me to read this book.
