But the retreat proves to be anything but relaxing when a raging wildfire sets the landscape around him ablaze.

She is desperately trying to escape the fire herself only Breeze, a hardcore animal lover, is also fighting to save the menagerie of animals she’s been hired to pet sit. With fire lapping at their heels, these two unlikely allies join forces and battle their way through the deadly flames threatening to engulf them.
In the immediate aftermath of the fire, Bodhi and Breeze sneak off on a road trip along the California coast to uncover the truth about his family, forging a powerful connection that will forever change their lives. But, when the real world comes crashing down upon the fragile new couple, Breeze gets a taste of what life is like with a superstar and isn’t convinced their relationship can survive the crush of Bodhi’s oppressive fame.

Bodhi Beckett

A series of popping explosions cleared away the haziness, and I bolted to my feet, the sheets sliding to the floor. An eerie orange glow pulsated off the dark walls. The shrieks of what sounded like a train barreled through the house, sent me racing to the window. But before I could get there, a punishing blast shook the house, flinging me forward toward the glass. I caught myself, bracing my hands on the window frame. Staring through the fragile glass, a flickering flame caught my eye.

“What the…?”

While I’d slept, nature had set a blowtorch to the landscape, bringing a raging inferno right to my doorstep.

The Supporting Cast

“There’s no time. We’ve got to go. Now!”

“Please,” she pleaded, tears filling her eyes as she gathered her pets. “I can’t leave them.”

Something about her desperation kept me from bolting back to my car. “Okay. Give me the dogs. But hurry.”

She picked up the tiny dog and unceremoniously dumped him into a carrier. “Here. He bites so don’t put your fingers in there.”

Yeah right. It wasn’t like I was going to get all touchy-feely with the Taco Bell dog while the world around me burned to the ground.

Breeze Cassidy

The driver-side window lowered, revealing a man who looked every bit as traumatized as I felt.

“Are you okay?” he asked, his words heavy with remorse. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t see you.”

I nodded stupidly, staring at him with unblinking eyes. A thick layering of ash had settled into his hair, giving it a grayish tint. My gaze dropped to his bare chest, and further to his washboard abs. In any other situation it might have been a nice touch to be saved by some guy in an Abercrombie ad. But he was no model. My rescuer was none other than Bodhi Beckett, of AnyDayNow fame.

Insanely powerful connection between these two characters.
5 Stars
Insanely powerful connection between these two characters.
Simply. Incredible. This story focused on the truth of what matters most. The heart. Abandonment issues. Rejection. Cheating. All those things don't matter when you find your person. It's totally clear that Bodhi and Breeze found each other at the most vulnerable state in their lives. They needed each other before they even realized it. Their connection was inevitable and the pull was even greater. However, sometimes not even the heart can win and when it's crushed to pieces, the ashes are left blowing like the wind. Yet, this wind only gas one destination and these two beautiful people better suck it up and accept their truth. Their heart is one heart and it only belongs when they are together.6 STARS If possible

I do NOT recommend starting this book before bedtime unless you plan to be awake for a few hours. I mean I like my books to start off with a bang and a little surprise but after just a few chapters to introduce us to Bodhi, J. Bengtsson decides to throw him and us into a wildfire! A freaking wildfire and not only that but things are HOT, and not the steamy kind of hot. While escaping, he meets Breeze and her band of misfit pets including one anxious and aggressive chihuahua – who will forever be referred to as Little Dick. As their story continues, we uncover hard truths and their instant chemistry and lust leads to so much more. I loved the super sweet ending very much too! We deserved it after the crazy beginning of this amazing romance book.

I really loved how deeply we got to know the characters and how some things they thought were the truth sometimes weren’t. I loved the journey Bodhi went on to uncover his truths and how in the end, it was Breeze’s insecurities that split them up. The big moment at the end was the perfect ending to this amazing story.

This is the first book I’ve read in a long time in which I really enjoyed the main male and female (Bodhi , Breeze) equally. It’s a fun, thought provoking story with great characters. I was hooked from page one.

After reading ‘Ripple Effect’ the other day, I knew I wanted to read more books by J. Bengtsson. So when I saw that there was a book, although another standalone, that could be linked to ‘Ripple Effect’ I knew that book had to be my next read. So I got myself a Kindle version of ‘Like The Wind’ and started reading.

In ‘Like The Wind’ we meet Bodhi Beckett, an international pop star who recently found out his past has been a lie. As a pop start Bodhi’s every move is planned and nothing he does is private. But finding out everything in his past isn’t the way he thought it was, made him want to rebel against his life, and his manager a.k.a. his father. But even that isn’t possible. So when Bodhi’s gets the opportunity to get away for a few days without anyone bothering him, he couldn’t resist. Unfortunately life has something in store for him though, and he soon finds himself in the middle of a raging wildfire. Fighting for his life, he meets Breeze, a hairdresser and pet lover. Breeze is unlike anyone he has ever met and soon they are spending more time together than they thought they would.

After reading a little bit about Bodhi in Ripple Effect, I knew I wanted to read more about his story. Bodhi just really fascinated me from the start. And after reading this book I’m even more fascinated by him. Bodhi’s whole life has been planned by other people, and in this book he finally gets to do things himself. It was both touching and wonderful to read this part, and I loved every moment we got spend at Bodhi’s side.

But my definite favorite character in this read was Breeze. She was such a wonderful, fun, interesting and unique girl. I just loved her right from the start. I loved how Breeze worked for every penny she got. She got burned by a previous relationship, but still believed in love and trusted she would one day find her true love. I just loved her spirit. And the romance between Breeze and Bodhi was so fun. I simple loved them.

What I loved most about ‘Like The Wind’, was that is was romantic but also kept you sitting on the edge of your seat. Definitely like the other books I read by J. Bengtsson. She has a way of writing that just keeps you hooked. And above all it makes me want to read all her books. Why not five stars then? Well, I thought Bodhi’s past was a bit to much. But if that’s all.. I honestly would have given this book a 4.9 if it was an option.

This book was amazing. We all wonder how we'd react with a chance encounter with a celebrity, right? Well, Breeze meets
Brodhi as he barrels down the mountain in the borrowed nanny's Land Rover in a wildfire while she's been in a slight vehicle accident and with her car disabled and loaded with two dogs, a snarling cat, rats, and goldfish. Its not the author's efforts to make light of the dangers of wildfires with high Santa Ana winds fueling them because we are plenty scared by point of time of their encounter. I don't think either one of them had time to anticipate the fire and its ramifications as it seemed they were acting of ignorance and nerves. Its harrowing and a tiny bit WTF with those animals traveling with them.
Once down the mountain, Brodhi has some opportunities. He decides to head up the coast of California and Breeze heads up there with him. There is a whole lots of road trip time together. Brodhi was a child star so he's not had the experiences that normal children have and Breeze thinks it fun to help him with that bucket list. His being a celebrity causes some problems sometimes along the way and it is quite clear that most of us can not fathom that level of quality of life.
There are many layers to the story and a few characters that I felt could of been left out but on the five star rating system I'd of given it a ten star. My other recommendation is to start reading this author's book, "CAKE".

I loved this book. I have loved each of J Bengtsson's Cake: a Novel series and this new book is so interesting and funny that it is as good as her Cake series to me. I laughed through 2/3 of the book and felt sad through most of the rest of the book. I couldn't put this one down. Breeze and Brodhi meet up when both are trapped by a fire in the housing area they are staying. Breeze was animal sitting so she escaped with two dogs, a cat, and rats. Brodhi, a teen heart throb singer in a boy's band is hiding out until the fire hits his rental house. Quirky Breeze meets brooding Brodhi and stuff happens. Funny and sad stuff. Read it and love it. I did.

This is a book to book to treasure!!
With a fabulous, fun, heart warming story, starring two lovely characters in Breeze and Bhodi, Like the Wind has completely won my heart. This is a story which I will return to regularly, especially if I need a pick-me-up. It starts with some heart stopping, and vividly described, jeopardy and moves onto a delightful romance, filled with all the beautifully described characters, quirk and all, loony pets and fabulous, on-point dialogue, that I have grown to expect from this very talented author.
To add to the brilliant reading experience, Like the Wind is also available in audio and is absolutely fabulous!
The narration by Callie Dalton and Zachary Webber is also warm, convincing and of a quality that ensures your concentration and focus is maintained throughout. A complete delight.

Wow this Book was amazing. Its the first I've read by this author but definitely won't be the last. The characters are quirky and lovable and the story is well written, making it such an enjoyable read. Breeze and Bodhi are the two most unlikely of people who come together during a natural disaster and end up going on this wild rollacoster and what a ride to have joined them on. Brillant book looking forward to more. Definitely recommended.
