I was lucky enough to proofread this book. I fell for Will (convenient name, I say) in the previous book. A big bear of a man with a heart of gold, but the temper of a wildcat. When he meets Ryan, however, that wild kitty now demands to protect the frightened man, and the bear can make it happen.<br /><br />Silvia Violet does shifters in the best possible way. This is one of my favorite series, because Will &lt;3's shifters!

I had read the Wild R Farm series years ago and when the author revised and rereleased them under her new pen name, I decided to do a reread. The books stand up to the test of time. They were one of the first found family series I'd read and that feeling shines through in the reboot.<br />Ryan is an ex con that needs to heal from a traumatic past and Will is a bear shifter who has temper control issues. He's also extremely protective of what he considers his, and Ryan is definitely his.<br />This was a quick, enjoyable read with just a touch of angst. Secondary characters add humor and depth to the story. Can't wait for Zach and Brandon's story.<br />

Same complaints and the last books. This time, I don't think we have a big age gap though. They're of age sort of unspecified, but both early to mid twenties. Still too many sex scenes to plot ratio, it slows down the story too much.

This was one of the better books in the series. Well, it was for me anyway. I really liked Will and Ryan as two individual characters and as a couple. Ryan went through so much in the past and I feel like Will was really good at helping Ryan through the shit in his head. Nothing felt forced and I was enjoying the read more than some of the other books. But that might change when I re-read them.<br /><br />The bear shifter thing was nice. It was a really interesting change from the hoarse/wolf shifters in the previous books and even though I liked them, because I really did, it was something new for me. And I really liked it.<br /><br />I liked the fact we got to keep up to date with the other characters. All couples from the previous books made appearances here. And that was nice. I'm used to only seeing some of the couples sequels, not all of them. And we got an idea of who the couple in the next book will be. It's not as exciting for me as I would have liked. I happen to strongly dislike one of the two men in the couple, so that kinda sucks. But I'll probably get over that minor detail before the next book is released. I hope so, anyway.<br /><br />Overall, I think fans of the series will enjoy this book. And maybe fans of shifter stories. It was definitely an entertaining read and it kept me wanting more.

My favorite of the series so far.

A sweet book about 2 wound hearts finding each other. Will, a big bear shifter that has a terrible temper but a heart of gold and Ryan, a young man who has scars on his body and mind.

Willing Hands by Silvia Onyx is the 4th book in her Wild R Farm series. You may want to read the other books first because there are reoccurring characters in this one. This is the story of two men whose pasts continue to haunt them and neither one thinks they are worthy of love. Will is a bear shifter and one of the hands on the ranch. He wanted other things for his life but when he is stressed his bear surfaces he often gets out of control and is very scary which caused him to lose his life dream. He is also afraid that if he falls in love his bear might scare that person away too. Ryan just got out of prison because of something he did in his childhood that he feels is so horrific that no one could ever love him. Because of his experiences there he is very shy and wary of anyone who gets close to him. Cole, the owner of the farm, takes a chance on him and gives him a job training horses, which he is very good at. Will became been attracted to Ryan the moment he saw him but has kept his longing on a professional level. He finally asks him to have dinner and they start to form a relationship. It grows slowly but gets more intense each time they are together but then they find out a person from Ryan’s past is out to get him. He tries to leave the farm but Will and the others won’t let him. The story continues as things start happening and they are finally able to figure out how to stop that person from hurting others again. I enjoyed this story. There is so much angst as Will and Ryan deal with their pasts and how to move forward together to find the love they both deserve There is also suspense in trying to find out who wants to get Ryan and also who is hurting the animals. There are some funny moments with their friends at the farm and when they finally open up to each other the love scenes are hot. I recommend this book, especially if you like hurt/comfort stories about shifters as well as some suspense as they get to their happy ending.

This is the fourth book in the Wild R Farm series and the first one that I have read in this series. I really enjoyed this book. It is well written and easy to read. I was able to enjoy it without having first read the previous books. This is the story of Will and Ryan. Will is a bear shifter who has a fear of losing control of his bear when he gets angry. He gave up on his dream of becoming a vet because of a bear outburst. No one was hurt but he decided to close that book on his dream. Ryan is a new ranch farm hand. He is just the like the horses that he trains. Shy and skittish. Slow to trust. He background is horrific. Since people have betrayed him so often, he now has walls up to keep everyone out. This is their story. Will is besotted with Ryan but recognizes that he has to move slowly. He doesn't want to spook him. He is kind and gentle with Ryan. Ryan slowly starts to trust him. But then trouble from his past is back. He doesn't want anyone else to be hurt in the crossfire and decides that leaving is the best course of action. Obviously he has underestimated the folks at the Wild R Farm. They would never let one of their own go through something on their own. Like it or not, Ryan would have help. I really enjoyed this book. I liked the chemistry between Will and Ryan. As well as the relationship between all who work the farm. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.<br /><br />I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Willing Hands is the 4th book in the Wild R Farm series from Silvia Onyx. Willing Hands is an M/M shifter romance with a great story and just the right amount of heat. Although this is the fourth book in the series, this is a stand-alone novel. Willing Hands is the story of bear shifter Will, who is introduced in Embracing Need, and farm hand Ryan. If you are interested in more of Will’s backstory or how he comes on to the farm I would suggest reading Embracing Need but Willing Hands is a wonderful story on its own. <br />Will has been on his own his whole life and wants nothing more than someone to love and a place to call home but he is afraid to trust himself to control his temper. Ryan has been hurt and betrayed by the people who were supposed to care for him. He has made a life for himself at Wild R. Ryan wants to take the love and comfort Will offers but refuses to believe he is worthy of love. This is a beautiful story about finding love, second chances, and the family you make along the way.
