Instant Gratification (Wilder Book 2) Kindle Edition

When a beautiful doctor butts heads with a laid-back mountain man, the spark is undeniable in this romance by the New York Times bestselling author.

Dr. Emma Sinclair sharpened her skills in a fast-paced New York City ER. Now she’s happy to spend a summer running her father's clinic in the Sierra Nevadas. In the quiet town of Wishful, California, Emma treats bee stings, stomach flu, and Stone Wilder—a patient who’s almost as irritating as he is irresistible. Emma can’t stand the way he laughs at her…or get enough of his mischievous grin.

As co-owner of Wilder Adventures and Expeditions, Stone knows how to treat a fish out of water. When he tries to help Emma loosen up, he pictures white-water rafting or scenic mountain hikes. He never bargained for an intimate encounter. While Emma is sure she has no place in a town like Wishful, Stone knows that belongs here—in this town, and in his life. Convincing her is a challenge he was born to take.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love those Wilder men....4.25 stars for this book!
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2011

I really enjoyed the second instalment of the Wilder men series by Jill Shalvis. This is the story about Stone who we met in the first book. In the first book, we learned that Stone has a crush on the local Doctor and that he keeps asking her out and she keeps telling him no. Stone is the middle child, the one who breaks up fights, the one who keeps everything running and keeps their family together. He was hard working, caring and simply adorable. After seeing how Cam found love, he was hoping to find something like that for himself, with the town doctor.

Stone and his brothers owned Wilder Adventures where they take their guests for anything they want from hiking, biking, rock climbing, kayaking and skiing. But, he hates needles so when he gets hurt and taken to the local clinic, he is double embarrassed. Not only because he has to get stitches, but also because he had to strip naked in front of the doctor he had a crush on. Emma was in town temporarily to run her father's clinic while he was recovering from a heart attack. Emma is a complicated character because she loves her job, but she doesn't allow people to get close, this was due to her relationship with her mom and lack of relationship with her dad. Stone wanted to pursue something with Emma, but Emma knew it would be dangerous and at the end, she would leave with a broken heart.

It was nice to see how despite not wanting to be together, Stone was able to slowly woo her. Jill Shalvis writes wonderful books. I loved the banter between the characters and the romance was so sensual. Great book and can't wait to read about TJ's story.

4.0 out of 5 stars He becomes her salvation...she becomes his everything......

She's 30 yrs. old and lost in this alien world of Wishful, California. She's homesick for her apartment, near Central Park in NYC. She misses her bustling, busy and rushed job in the Manhattan E.R. Yep, Dr. Emma Sinclair is stuck in this podunk town in the California Sierras where there's no take-out, no fast food drive thru's, no Starbucks, no crowds, traffic or trains. She wants to go home, but she's obligated to stay to help her Dr. Dad recoup from a heart attack. Her father who she's been separated from for 24 years....who's a stranger.

Emma is witty, smart, tough as nails inside, soft as a lost kitten on the outside. She can be uptight, brusque, abrupt and seldom ever smiles. Aaaah but when she does...the sun fills a room! She's complete business and so focused on her career choice that she overlooks kindness. She's stubborn, cool elegance in a mountain town...with her classy clothes, glorious fiery auburn hair and baby blue eyes. She's all bark and no bite. She has no time for a man...not in New York and certainly not here in Wishful, Ca. She has no time for romantic diversions. She's only staying long enough to get her Dad back on track, and then she's outta' here......back to the world where she belongs.

He's tall, muscular and full of effortless charm and charisma. He's a little wild and a little modest...sheer testosterone fueled masculinity with his tanned, rock hard build and laughing, easy going, fathomless deep green eyes. And holy cherry suckers Batman....but this man is one hawt piece of yummy cheeze! Stone Wilder is partners with his two brothers, running the "outdoor adventure/expedition" company (Wilder Adventures). He's stop-in-your tracks sexy and gorgeously dangerous to female hearts with his wind tousled, sun kissed light brown hair. Stone is basically a care giver...keeping his family together or taking care of and rescuing foster kids from their troubled lives. He's the whole package and he's completely dumbfounded and lost when he meets Emma..... Let the games begin.

This is such a great story of one damaged woman going through her rigid life being the efficient but disconnected Dr. that she is, without giving of herself - - it never occurs to her that she'd possibly need anyone. She's lonely and alone and is unable to connect to people, until one charming man becomes her saving grace. This is a wonderfully brilliant (and predictable) romantic story of learning to open yourself up to be brave enough to take risks and chances on love. To overcome your fears and allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to let the walls fall...to trust and reach out to that "someone" who could be so perfect for you. A fabulous story of life's lessons of allowing yourself to stop and smell the roses. To live in the moment, grasp that happiness that has fallen in your lap and appreciate and revel in it. And Ms. Shalvis tells it so well.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is a Great Addition to the Wilder Series!

I recently discovered Jill Shalvis' books and am addicted to them already! I had heard great things about her books and decided to try out the Wilder series to see if they are the type of books I enjoy and I am delighted that they are exactly what I like to read. I love contemporary romances with quirky characters and sarcasm and, as soon as I started the first book in the Wilder series Instant Attraction, I was hooked. Once I finished that book, I immediately started Instant Gratification, the second book in the series. As with the first book, I had a hard time putting this one down.

"Yeah, she was sweet and gentle and soft, all right. Like a sleeping lion."

Dr. Emma Sinclair is a big-time New York City doctor. She likes order and control and works 80-hour weeks in order to fill the void of having very few close friends and family. When her father has a heart attack and asks her to help out in his small-town clinic in Wishful, California until he recovers, she reluctantly agrees and can't wait until her time is up so she can go back to her own life where she loves her Thai takeout. Emma is used to performing surgeries, not treating ingrown toenails and pregnant cats. She certainly isn't expecting to have to hand out Band-Aids like candy to Stone Wilder.

Stone Wilder takes care of his family. He helps run Wilder Adventures and Expeditions with his brothers and he's the type of person who flies by the seat of his pants. He enjoys his work but dreams of restoring the historical buildings in the town someday. Stone meets Emma at the end of Instant Attraction and, as much as Emma denies it, she is attracted to him. As a reader, I could feel the sizzling attraction between Stone and Emma and I loved the banter between them! Stone ends up teaching her how important it is to have a support system and to slow down and enjoy life.

"Just as you know that if you want something, you have to go out and get it. If things haven't worked out the way you hoped, then change them."

I loved this second book in the Wilder series and am eager to read the third one! I don't feel it is necessary to read them in order but you will probably enjoy the series much more if you start with Instant Attraction. I definitely want to read more of Jill Shalvis' books and would recommend the Wilder books to anyone who enjoys witty contemporary romances!

What can I say about the second books in this amazing series? I loved it! Maybe not as much as the first book, but then there’s always something special about the first book in a series – a new world, new characters and a new journey.
Instant Gratification didn’t so much take me on a new journey but led me up a different path that led to new characters as well as letting me know about an old one, another Wilder brother, Stone. I fell in love with Stone, but it took me a while to warm to his romantic counterpart Dr Emma Sinclair. I so wanted to give that woman a kick in the rear or at least, a good talking to.
I also love it when familiar characters pop up. I was a little sorry I didn’t get to catch up with Cam and Katie, but I’m sure I’ll get a chance sooner or later since I intend to buy the next book in this series.
I gave Instant Gratification 5 stars.

Jill Shalvis hat mit diesem Buch wieder einmal einen besonders schönen Roman geschrieben, der so richtig zu Herzen geht. Es handelt sich zwar um leichte Kost, aber die Geschichte von Emma und Stone ist so richtig schööööön! Die Charaktere sind alle durchweg liebenswert, natürlich sehr attraktiv und überhaupt zum Dahinschmelzen. Fazit: Für Liebhaber romantischer, erotischer Literatur absolut lesenswert!
