Wild Winter

The Wild #4.5

by K. Webster

Home is where I’m the safest.

Away from people, the world, my awful mistakes.

But I can’t hide forever.

A broken part of my past comes to visit, and I’m forced to face it.

The snow, a cruel enemy, makes sure I have nowhere to run.

My emotions are a mess. Confusing thoughts make things worse. There’s only so long I can keep all this pain bottled up inside of me.

Loneliness and desire dictate my next move.

I’m probably ruining everything…again.

There’s no escaping it this time.

It’s going to be a wild winter.

I need moreeeeeee. I’m obsessed with the Wild World and this little snippet of Rowdy’s story has me salivating for his big book 😭😭

[Josephine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rowdy and Destiny full book WHEN!?? I love them so much already, my heart hurts!

[♥ I’d Rather Be Reading ♥]

Note to self: According to author's website, this is a novella meant to bridge stories, learn about Rowdy's past, and prepare for his full book. So I will wait until his full book is out before reading this...

[Leah (dark&twistedromancemama) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love K. Webster and this series. While it isn’t for every body, it is an amazing series. This is a taboo novella involving mentions of sexual assault and rape,mental health, drug use and other taboo subjects. Read with caution.

[Lindsey Daniel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked reading that Wild wanted Rowdy. That really isn't shown in the rest of the series. I hope that the next book has Rowdy and Wild coming a part for each other. (Oh I hope there is going to be more books)

4 ⭐️

I'm so ready for the full book!

[Sabrina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I absolutely loved being back in the Wild world! Rowdy has been through so much and I can’t believe I have to wait until October to get more of his story 😭 This novella is available on K Webster’s website. I believe The Rowdy Ones will also be on there once it releases in early October 2025.

[⭐Toonasa⭐ •Romance Book Lovers' Haven• · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found my way to this book after finding out that Rowdy is getting a (taboo 🎉) book in an announcement by K. Webster! I didn't even know this novella existed before it, but omg I'm so excited for Rowdy's book 😍. I read this in 2hrs! Be beware of TWs.

This short story works as a prequel to Rowdy's book / a bridge between the big books. It gives us more info on Rowdy's trauma, & shows his bond with little sister Destiny & "cousin" Wild. I'm glad to find Wild actually wants Rowdy 🤭. I didn't expect all the confessions & talk to happen so fast here, but it sets the stage for dynamics for main book.

Gosh, being friend/sibling zoned hurts. I really hope Rowdy's book is MMF at least 🥺.

⭐ 4 Stars – short, intense, and emotionally raw
📚
Wild World, Book 4.5 | 🔥 A glimpse into Rowdy’s broken heart


This novella may be brief, but it packs so much pain, longing, and confusion into such a tight emotional space.

Wild Winter gives us a brutally honest look into Rowdy, someone we’ve only seen as a side figure in the chaos of the Wild World so far. Now, he's front and centre… and unraveling….and I’m loving it!

Rowdy’s inner voice? Absolutely wrecked me. He’s isolated, ashamed, drowning in his past mistakes and haunted by a forbidden desire he can’t shake. We also have glimpses of Wild…. As well as Destiny…..

I need to know who K. Webster pairs him with in the next full novel, because this setup? It's dark, it's heartbreaking, and it feels like we're about to watch him fall into something he knows he shouldn’t want.

Wild Winter doesn’t give you full answers, but that’s the point.

It’s the silent inhale before the scream. It teases Rowdy’s forbidden feelings, and you know his full story is going to hurt before it heals.

I'm personally aching to see where K. Webster takes this savage soul next. Bring on Book 5.

[JD · Rating 4 out of 5]

I just knew there was more to Wilds dislike towards Rowdy. but man, did K Webster break my heart with Destiny. Finally hearing some of what she went through when she was taken and the after-effects, I just want to scoop that poor girl up and protect her with my life.

I read this series in 2 days and am now left in a hole because we have to wait for Rowdys' book.

[Clay · Rating 4 out of 5]

I know they’re all fucked up, but I really cannot wait for Rowdy’s story everything is so painful
I really would like to see him happy I don’t care who he ends up with, but I just want him to be fucking happy. Oh my God.

[Ashley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I need Rowdy’s book more than I need air at this point 😭
I’m BEGGING for it to be a Rowdy, Wild and Destiny throuple 🥺😭

[Athena, the goddess of books · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rowdy's story promises to be an interesting one about overcoming trauma and finding love. I suppose this will also be a throuple between him, Dez and Wild

[Jessica Grooms · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can not wait to get Rowdy and Destinys full book! The way I ate this short story up was INSANE!!

[H.B. Jasick · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a cute little novella about Wild, Rowdy, and Destiny. It gives you a little look into what to look forward to. I can’t wait!

[Darktwistybookworm · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this little bridging novella.
You get to see Rowdy and Wild start to reconcile and poor Destiny's torment. Im eagerly waiting to see what's going to happen next!

[Debra (Dragon Nanny) Phiri · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a great little insight as to what’s coming for Rowdy, Dez and Wild(maybe)!

Loved it!

[QueenOfComplaining · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excuse me Miss K!! You CANNOT do this to me! I need the rest of Rowdy’s story like right now! Like EXPEDITIOUSLY! Are you working on this!? Is there a timeframe? Omg! 😩♥️

[Ashlee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Even though these books are super taboo, this world has been fun to read. I am curious to see where things go with Wild and Rowdy in Rowdy’s book or if Rowdy goes that route…

[Maky Irigoyen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I guess I was kinda hoping for more romance, but it left me intrigued, I don’t loved the idea of Rowdy coming back to his triggers but I know he is going for Destiny, I don’t know, maybe it was really sad for me…
