Wildcard by Cambria Hebert (Westbrook Elite Book 5)

About Wildcard

We met Rush as the newest member of Elite in WTF and now Wildcard delves into his story. He came to Westbrook under mysterious circumstances and isn’t very social with the other Elite members. The only person who has broken through to him is Lars. In WTF you see Rush go after the person hurting Lars. That is the first bond we see for Rush.

Wildcard starts out over the previous holidays when Rush and his parents are at Westbrook to interview to transfer. He and Landry have a chance meeting in the pool at Westbrook where she thinks he is drowning and dives in to save him when all he was doing was trying to blank his mind and remember the events that landed him at Westbrook.

Now, a few weeks into the new semester, Landry is introduced to the team as the Assistant Coach and Coach’s daughter. We all know the old adage about Karma. Well it just came back to bite Rush. The one person he is interested in is the one person off limits.

Secrets Revealed

When Rush’s past comes back with a vengeance and Landry is caught in the crosshairs, what will be the fall out? Will his former teammates and friends fill in the blanks of his missing memory? Will the person targeting him get their revenge by hurting Landry? Will this person be unveiled? Will the tragedy that caused Rush to move across the country finally be resolved and justice be served?

Oh, and did I mention who Rush’s parents are? Goodness, talk about a major “reveal”.

Now I want to know if Bodie, and possibly Blair, are the next new recruits for Westbrook. And will either get a book in this series? Or will we see a spin-off series? Just sayin’.

Narration

It was nice to listen to Cecily Foster again. It’s been so long since I’ve listened to her. I loved her version of Landry and the strength she has during everything going on in her life. Gavin McAllister is new to me. I loved his take on Rush. He played a more mature college student, but given everything Rush has gone through, it makes sense.
