I’m not exactly sure where to begin with this amazingly written read. The growth of the author is apparent within her stories as she slowly advances in her writing style and techniques and I couldn’t be more proud of her accomplishments. Having given the opportunity of a sneak peek of part one, the brokenness of these characters was too much to handle. But am I ever appreciative for the continuation as there was so many questions answered throughout. Carter and Lex go through so much turmoil thr

Wow, this book was amazing! This is my first full-length novel by Ivy Wild, and I very much enjoyed it.
The Estate is the story of Lex and Carter - two beautiful but broken people, both with saddening histories. When they find each other, sparks fly - but several outside sources are determined to destroy the happiness they are starting to find.

This book...this book was amazing! I was lucky enough to be able to proofread and help edit this amazing story and I can’t say enough great things about it. Amazing storyline, struggles, fear of being let down and rejected, fear of loving again, of letting someone in, of disappointment, people that are doing you wrong behind your back, steamy, STEAMY HOT scenes, beautiful moments between characters that you can literally feel the chemistry off the page. Ivy Wild was made to write romance! Loved

The blurb for this book captured my attention but the story is what captured my heart! This book had me hanging on every word and so enthralled with the story I hated putting it down, I was so consumed!
“I’ve never chased after anything. Not money, not deals and not women. I never even chased my own fucking dream, Lex. You’re the first thing I’ve chased after.” He smirked. “And by that, I do mean by car, horse and through the fucking woods."

I don’t know where to begin so here I go…. Carter and Lex both have suffered in different ways by the ones that were supposed to love them. So, it was no surprise that they were drawn to each other even though neither knew what each one had endured.
When Carter hires Lex as his property manager he didn’t expect his life to change for the better. He didn’t expect to have someone fight with him at his side. He didn’t expect to find the happiness he didn’t realize he could have. As they both fight ...more

I made the mistake of starting this book right before going to sleep and I instantly got sucked in and was up most of the night reading this story. It captured my attention from the very first page and as the story continued, I fell in love with these two broken characters and their story.
Lex is strong and she has come to accept her life and the fact that everyone always ends up leaving her. You can’t help but love her character and want to cheer for her and want her to find her HEA. Carter is ...more

I could not put this book down!
From the first words to the last words I felt this story pull me inside.
Ivy Wild’s use of words to write the reader pictures of what is happening reeled me in and took me on a wild ride with Lex and Carter.
Having the book in parts felt like it was giving me a goal. How fast can I read part one, what will part two give me…the pages were flying by.

The Estate by Ivy Wild was long and complicated. I say complicated because while I'm not a huge fan of 3rd person narrative, sometimes it works. It kind of worked in this one but it took a long, looooong time to get used to how quickly the narrative switched between the FMC and MMC. I mean, sometimes it happened every other paragraph and that was very distracting having to figure out who was talking or thinking at the moment. Also, the timeline was a bit strange. It goes back and forth and seeme ...more
IVY WILD HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! FIVE STARS!!! What an AMAZING READ!!!

The Estate is the first book that I've read by Author Ivy Wild and I enjoyed it. The Estate is Carter and Lex's story. They have both been jaded by their pasts, but neither can deny their chemistry and the desire to let down their walls with each other. When they first meet, they have no idea how soon their paths will cross again. Although any relationship should be forbidden due to their circumstances, neither of them can seem to say no.

Blown away by the authors storytelling!
From the first chapter on I was simply enchanted! The story, the characters! Gah, the amazing chemistry between Carter and Lex. Him all guarded and reserved, and her, she was always trying to please everybody. He build his walls up so high after the dark past that he had. And she cracked them down by just being herself.
Utterly beautiful!
You will swoon and sigh happily as you read this sweet emotional story. I highly recommend!

This is my first time reading Ivy Wild and she did not disappoint. It was a long beautifully written book split into 3 parts.
Carter's life was built around Family, Honor & Commitment, however the people in his life were not guided by these 3 things.
Lex has been abandoned by people throughout her life and she has come to accept this is the norm.
Carter needs help running his estate and Lex was hired to manage the property. Sparks were flying from the moment they first met.

Lex is the woman everyone leaves, and she's gotten used to it. So when she meets Carter, and falls for him, she expects him to be the same way. She doesn't take into account that Carter has as many demons as she does, and perhaps they're perfect for each other.
Carter's had such a hard life, wanting, but never receiving, love from his father, and having his ex-wife cheat on him. Then the coma happened. And now, this gorgeous woman slides into h ...more
What an amazing, truly beautiful read this was from start to finish. I didn’t want this book to end! You can clearly see that this book has been written from the heart, leaving the lines blurred between truth and fiction.
Everything about this book was captivating, the characters, the drama, the heartbreak and omg! the sex scenes where off the charts! From the moment Carter and Lex met you just knew they were taking you on a rollercoaster of a journey that you wouldn’t want to get off!

Gah what a story. From start to finish I was glued to this story.
The two main characters Carter and Lex are so so good. The chemistry between them is oh so hot. This is one of those books where I felt the emotions of the characters. I could say so much about these two but I really think you should read this one for yourself.
I’m so looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.

This is Carter and Lex’s journey. Carter has not had an easy life after losing him mom in childbirth, his dad’s resentment, and had a nasty divorce from a cheating gold digger, and then to have a tragic accident which left him in a coma for months, only to recover to his company going downhill. Having no option Carter hires Lex as a project manager, and the sparks fly between them. Lex has not had the best of life either having no family or friends, and through no fault of her own, getting fired

Lex and Carter are the perfect blend of imperfect. Together they blend to create a stronger family, with a deeper commitment, and respect for each other and life. Ivy Wild touched me with this story deeply, outstanding writing.
The story is romantic, dreamy, intense and full of drama with a strong FC. The readers will fall in love with the characters in an instant. It is beautifully written with a gripping plot line that will make the readers want to know what will happen next. It is a highly recommended book for readers who like romance.
Personal Take:

This was such a pleasant surprise! Although it's written in the third person (I'm not a big fan of that), this story kept me hooked until the end. Carter and Lex are two broken people who find in each other the things they've always been looking for. Their first meeting is casual and they think it will be the last too, but fate has other things in store for them. The development of their relationship is explosive, their encounters are full of heat and passion, and neither can resist the attracti

This is my first read by Ivy Wild and wow- can she weave a tale. The story is told in third person omniscient. I have to say it’s been a long time since I’ve read a romance novel that way.
Alexandra Evans (Lex) is looking for a fresh start. On a night out before she starts a new career she meets a gorgeous stranger, Carter Ross. So, she decides for one night to give the decision making power to someone else. After an explosive encounter they part ways.
