Start your review of Pandora Wild Child

Pandora is a wild child through and through. After being sheltered by her overprotective (and at times, seriously neurotic) parents, she’s finally free to live her life on her own terms. Finally free of the consequences she suffered for so long, but not the fear instilled by her parents. Pandora shoulders deep-rooted anxiety—thanks in part to her parents’ unconventional forms of punishment—as if it’s just a part of who she is.

Wild!
I loved every minute of this book! Pandora is truly a wild child. She wants to be good, but she has a hard time with it. Dominic tries to help her and keep her out of trouble, but he has his own battles to fight. And then there is Leon....mysterious Leon. I can't wait to read his story!

From the moment I started reading, I was hooked. Nothing around me exist, like I was in "Smother" with all the characters. It was crazy-chaotic-wanna-pull-your-hair-out, kind of read. If you love, a love triangle in a way, then get to reading Dominic and Pandora's story.

***** (5 stars) Will you open Pandora’s Box? An emotional read – wild and driven!
I can’t help but think of Pandora’s Box, and what a box Pandora has! For this Pandora, opening the box is symbolic of many things, good and bad. Her box is full of mistakes, entrapment, freedom, choices, self-discovery, growth, and love.
Pandora Wild Child is quite the emotional read. Pandora is wild and driven. She is rebellious, yet has lived a sheltered childhood with overly strict parents. College is her first ta ...more

I will start that I have not had the pleasure of reading Ms. Sunniva's work in the past but I am certainly a fan girl now!
Pandora is a beautiful, sexy, smart girl who has been emotionally scarred and damaged by those close to her. She finally has some freedom and has gone off to college with three girlfriends. She doesn't always have her own best interests at hand and has been know to make spontaneous and poor choices. She is also afflicted with the chronic condition of Sheuermann's disease that ...more

What a rush! This is Sunniva Dee's first contemporary novel and boy oh boy does it deliver! Pandora is just as the title suggests--WILD to the core. Yet, there's those endearing moments that makes her easy to relate to. You'll laugh at parts, really laugh at others, and your mouth will drop open more than once. You'll be happy for Pandora. Sad for her. And at times, you'll want to scream at her to try to knock some sense in her. Though, thank goodness for best friends, right Pandora? :)

Series or Standalone: Standalone
Rating: 5 Stars *****
Review:
I don’t usually do this in reviews, but before I get into the nitty gritty of this book and what I thought of it, I need to get it out of my system.

Pandora is not your typical heroine. She’s not your typical main character and I think that’s what I like most about her. She even admits at one point in the story what I’ve shown in the gif above. She is one hell of a hot mess and this book w ...more

Wow! Pandora sure lived up to being a wild child...
Pandora Wild Child follows the story of Pandora and Dominic. Pandora has lived her entire life, sheltered. Now, she is off to college with her three friends and is finally free of her parents watchful eyes. So, what does one do when they've been sheltered for their entire life??? They party, of course. Pandora's free spirit and carefree attitude can't help but draw people into her.....The only thing holding Pandora back is her Scheuermann's Dise ...more

I LOVE PWC!! The main reason why I loved it? DOMINIC!

"Dominic's arms circle me and hold me as if we always nap like this. It's natural, safe. It awakens a softness in me that makes me need him more."
It was a story told with a lot of talent. I loved the dialogues! I actually really loved Pandora as well. She is strong, feisty, stubborn, crazy, loving and funny as hell, she also didn't take any crap. She stood up for herself and other people. She's not perfect. She's got faults and issues and we l ...more

Holy shianikes! This. Book. Rocks.

The moment I picked up Pandora Wild Child, I couldn't put it down. It’s one of those reads that gets your heart fluttering from the first pages alone—I think it may be love—and it’s the kind of book that reminds me why kiss a lot of, ahem, book toads, to find.
What I loved about this story was that everything was so deliciously original. As far as main characters go, Pandora is exceptionally fun.

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I loved the way Mrs Dee expressed her love for her family in the introduction to this book.
Pandora suffers from Scheuermann's Disease and has lived a very sheltered life within a very strict family environment. When she leaves home with her three best friends, she is almost drunk on the freedom ahead of her. Some things which happened in her upbringing have unfortunately left Psychological Scars.

Well, I've discovered a new favourite author. Sunniva Dee's work was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad I picked it up. At long last, here was a college story that I could relate to with less than perfect characters. When the safety-valves are off, experimentation takes place, and not all experiments are productive.
The story centres around the symbolically named Pandora, the 'wild child' female lead character of the story. Similarly to the Pandora of legend, when her box (suitcase) is ...more

After a couple of months of it sitting in my kindle app, I finally started reading about Pandora. A wild girl because of her traumatic punishments from daddy dearest, Pandora is testing the limits. Off to college with her 3 besties, they share an apartment in Deepsilver. They found this bar called Smother, and everything goes wild from there. With a perfect stranger, and a mess of a biker, Pandora has her life in such a mess.

This book is one wild ride.. Pandora is wild, Dominic is super hot, and their sexual chemistry is explosive. All the characters are fun and very relatable. The story had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't read the pages fast enough and the ending was great. I loved this crazy, fun, sexy story! I can't wait for more..

Yes!! Pandora is something.. but honestly.. I think she is everything that we wished we could have experienced once we had our freedom. & the heat.. Sunniva, You Never disappoint! ;) Haha!! & the emotions.. & the seeing oneself in your characters, while we are watching Pandora find herself. No, I didn't just like it! Yes, I LOVED it!! :D <3 <3 Thank You, Sunniva, for sharing her with me!!

ONE HELL OF A WILD RIDE!!! I've become a huge Sunniva Dee fan. I love her work. This story is amazing. Sunniva takes you on one wild ride with Pandora's story. This wild child is determined to live it up now that she is no longer under her overprotective parents roof. Pandora is a smart, sexy, beautiful woman. But she's also reckless. She doesn't always know what's best for her. Sparks fly when she meets Dominic. Everything about him is perfect. The complete opposite of Pandora. Or so she thinks

Pandora is embracing her freedom after leaving the control of her oppressive parents, she has issues related to her father's ideas about suitable punishment and over protectiveness. She has a good group of friends who try and keep her on track but at times she is out of control.

My heart is melting. Sunniva Dee got me again with this gorgeous gem that had me sighing and swooning.
There’s no false advertising with Pandora (Wild Child), a freshman college student who’s as immature and spontaneous as they come. Despite Pandora’s antics, Ms. Dee weaves her backstory and character so seamlessly that everything this young woman did made sense to me (even if she’s far beyond my own temperament.)

Pandora’s life has been majorly sheltered. With her overprotecting parents and their extreme way of dishing out punishments, it is no surprise that when Pandora goes off to college, she becomes well, a Wild Child. Boy does this girl does like to party - big time. She is finally free and doesn't care about the consequences, at all. It’s at the local bar, Smother, where she catches the eye of not one hot, sexy guy, but two. Yeah, Ms. Dee definitely knows how to turn up the heat, and both these guy ...more

My 4.5 star review!
Review copy provided.
This was such a unique story and not at all what I expected. Since we already have a synopsis I'm not going to recap the story.
Pandora (h) was definitely a mess she didn't know what she wanted except to party be free and LIVE, away from her overbearing parents. And saying she's a wild child is putting it lightly. The first night out she gets totally wasted and doesn't come home. I love how she wasn't painted like a damsel in distress. I loved the girl and ...more

A compelling novel about a girl so wild, only one man can tame her.
Sunniva has done it AGAIN!
She has managed to write another book that, not only, drew me in with the very first paragraph, but also got me so emotionally involved I yelled, pouted, jumped for joy, cheered, and almost cried like a baby.
Pandora is incredibly feisty, determined, and sometimes naive, but more than anything she is a wild child. I'm pretty sure if you looked up the definition of wild child in the dictionary you'd see ...more

Usually new adult or contemporary romance novels are not my thing. However, this is a Sunniva Dee new adult novel, so the rules are bent.

Pandora has lived far too long in the sheltered house of her neurotic parents. Starting college finally gives her the chance to be free and to live a life full of choices. Unfortunately for Pandora, those choices become far to easy to make on the back side of creme de menthe. Will Pandora learn from her mistakes? Or is she doomed to keep herself locked in a cycle, with no way out?

Pandora Wild Child by Sunniva Dee was an excellent read in my book, coming in at 4 Wild Child stars!! It is written in a dual point of views of Pandora and Dominic and also added snippets from Leon's point of view thrown in here and there. I was in a bit of a book slump before I started Pandora Wild Child and this one definitely got me out of it because I started it yesterday and finished today!

POWERFUL is one word to describe Pandora Wild Child
