For 22 years, Des Ross was searching for a home to belong to. What will be the storybook ending for Des?
Des Ross is such a gem of a character. She is resilient, strong, beautiful, smart and sassy. Right off the bat I loved her character, she had a personality that you couldn't help fall in love with. Des is not only a virgin and trash collector but she had a painful past that continues to haunt her. But her traumatic past is what made her a beautiful and strong person that she is today. So when she meets Hollywood hunk, Adam Trenton, sparks fly. 48 hours is what it took for Des’s life to change, because within the two days, Adam will hold a special place in her heart. So will Des finally get her chance at a HEA? Or will she be afraid to take a chance on a man who makes her feel?
Adam Trenton is Hollywood’s “IT” actor. He has women around the world fawning over him. So when Adam and his movie team were on location for a charity function, he couldn’t believe his luck when he spots this raven haired beauty that he was instantly attracted to. Call it fate or what not, Adam knew at that moment he had to know who she is. He didn’t care what she was wearing because all he noticed was her beauty. Personally, Adam was swoon worthy. He was indeed the hero and prince charming all wrapped up in one. He didn’t care that she was a trash collector. He didn’t judge at all whether she had money or not. All Adam saw, was the girl who knocked him off his feet. He saw the girl whom he wanted to get to know. He saw a woman whom he connected with physically and emotionally. Sparks and connections were buzzing from a single kiss and that it was all it took for Adam to be consumed with Des Ross. Adam knew that Des had secrets but he didn’t pushed because he wanted Des to tell him on her own. The connection between them was indeed electrifying. Des and Adam for sure didn’t need any help in the sexy department because these two in the bedroom had a way to heat up your kindle with all those steamy moments. So when Adam has to go back to Hollywood and Des has to go back to Detroit, how will their story book romance ends when Des leaves Adam? Will Adam make Des to take a chance on love? For a girl who never knew what love was, can Adam show her what it means to love? For the girl who never knew what it means to have a home, will she find her home in Adam?
Trashed was light, beautiful, sexy and romantic. In this modern day fairy-tale romance, Ms. Wilders whips up a fun fresh new take of a prince finding her princess. Who says the happily ever after doesn’t exist? Because in Trashed, this book delivered that and much more. Ms. Wilder will leave her readers with a big fat smile on their faces. The romance and connection between her hero and heroine were palpable and believable. The instant connection between Adam and Des made my heart go pitter-patter since I was so ooohing and ahhhing in how sweet, romantic and steamy this book was. Trashed reminds us all that you do not have to conform to society’s standards of beauty. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder and regardless whether you are a size 0, 2, 4 or whatever size, everyone is beautiful. And most importantly, this book reminds us all love heals. The power of love is that it can slowly heal all our broken past and with love you can find your home. Home can be starting anew or finding that special person who makes you feel whole. So if u are you looking for a book, that is sweet, romantic, sexy, and touching then I highly suggest you to go read Trashed.

Adam used to be a pro football player and movie star. At one point, he had to chose which path he wanted to take. So, he chose to be a movie star. He is not your normal Hollywood actor. He hates dressing up, plastering fake smiles and mingling with people in celebrities benefits. That's not just who he is. He's just your typical, normal guy that happens to be a Hollywood star. A normal guy who was instantly attracted to a normal girl. Des Ross was the girl, who literally turned Adam's world upside down. She brought back fire, desire, longing, and lust back into his life. Adam will stop at nothing to get Des's attention. As it so happens, he was able to make Des see that behind the Hollywood glitz and glamour, Adam is just an ordinary guy with a big heart. And so Adam begins his quest to make Des see that she is indeed worth the fight.
Destiny Ross grew up in Detroit. Graduated college with her bachelors in social work and just on her way to her masters. And she's a janitor. She has this wall she put up and will not let anyone in. Des had a mother, who was a crack addict. OD'd when she was three years old and so she ended up in the foster home system. She moved from foster home after foster home growing up. One of the homes, the father molested her. It's the reason why she put up these walls and does not trust anyone easily. She tried pushing Adam away, but he wasn't having it. He knows what he wants and that's Des. And so begins his mission to show Des how important and special she is in his life.
Adam and Destiny's story was an emotional and a HOT DAMN STEAMY read. It had me fanning myself the entire time I was reading. Des struggled with letting people get close after what happened to her in one of her foster homes. She became closed off and only had one best friend. The story is about moving on, being independent, loyalty and understanding the true meaning of LOVE. Taking a risk and not being afraid to be make yourself happy. I loved it and I can't wait to read more of your writing Jasinda.
