REVIEW: Wicked Lust (The Wicked Horse, Book 2) by Sawyer Bennett

RATING:










Blurb
Cain Bonham is as big and bad as they come. After serving in the Marines, he’s returned home to Wyoming and now works as head of security at the exclusive sex club, The Wicked Horse. His job is to protect not only the patrons, but to zealously guard the secret existence of the club itself. 
Sloane Preston is all about discovering secrets. As an undercover reporter, she’s determined to reveal the truth behind the facade of The Wicked Horse and expose it for all the world to see. She just didn’t count on her pathway into the club coming at the hands of one gorgeously scarred and bad ass bouncer who manages to easily possess her body and soul. 
While Cain’s not looking for anyone to catch his eye, Sloane did it all the same, and he’s not bemoaning the fact that she’s as wickedly kinky as he is. As both get caught up in the sinful fantasies that only The Wicked Horse can create, secrets and loyalties will be tested and hearts will risk being broken. 
**Warning: this book has sex in it. Lots of sex. Dirty sex. The Wicked Horse Series is a bit different than what Sawyer Bennett normally writes. While you’ll still enjoy fabulous characters, a suspenseful story, some witty banter and an epic romance, there’s just… a lot of sex. You’ve been warned.

Review 

HOLY SMOKES!!! The disclaimer is no joke, take heed, I tell ya! *grins*

As I started reading this, I wanna say that I was worried. I’m not a big fan of relationships starting out with lies, which was pretty much had to happen here considering Sloane’s purpose. Those were points taken away already for Sloane, especially considering how Cain is. But I should’ve known better. This is Sawyer after all. I’ve loved her Cold Fury series, and 1 from her Legal Affairs series, so I shoulda known to just trust Sawyer’s writing.

Regardless of Sloane’s original intent, there is no denying the heat between these 2. And considering where Cain works and what he’s into… holy suuuwweeet smokin’ times!!! Some of them are even outside my comfort zone but did you think I cared? Of course not! HAH!

Cain owned his lifestyle, and gotta love him for that! He only has Sloane’s welfare in mind from the start. And I understood where he’s coming from, even at the end when things were revealed. I love how disconcerted he was by his inexplicable pull towards Sloane then seeing him reconciling all the warring feelings in his head. Sloane, as mentioned earlier, was on a disadvantage as far as I was concerned. I couldn’t muster enough sympathy at first so it did feel weird in the beginning, but sure enough, I slowly got it. By the end, I was rooting for her, cheering her on to get what she deserves.

So at the end of the day, I got a sizzling read that’s about self-discovery, acceptance and forgiveness.

I see Rand’s story is coming up next. Just like in the 1st book, the epilogue here is to give introduction to the next book in the series so we got a glimpse of what we’re in for with Rand’s story.

Lastly, I know I’m not alone when I ask when is Bridger’s story coming, Sawyer?!?! Just wondering, that’s all…

REVIEW: Wild Ride (Playing for Keeps, Book 2) by Cathryn Fox

RATING:










Blurb
A sexy category romance novella from Entangled's Brazen imprint...
Good girl, meet bad cowboy...

Marketing Tycoon Tyler Mackenzie, a.k.a. Wildman Mac, has a knack for knowing what people want and, more importantly, what they need…so when he decides to show sweet and sexy yoga instructor Jess Gray that she's the one for him, he puts a seductive campaign into motion. 
When Mac defines the terms for the week and insists she do everything he says, Jess can't help but be intrigued. Since this good girl wants to break free and do something naughty, she agrees to his terms and soon finds herself embarking on a sexual journey that knows no limits. For Jess this is one week of living out her fantasies, but Mac is determined to make this wild ride last forever.

Review

For a novella, this packs quite a punch! Of  smexy times, that is, oh boy!

I haven't read the 1st novella in this series but it's ok, they're all standalones, as far as I can tell. This one is about Mac and Jess, the one gal from high school who didn't quite leave his mind. I think that's the theme for the series- that what-if question.

Mac and Jess were quite into each other when they were young but neither one did anything about it, that is, until Mac decided to invite Jess to the dude ranch that he co-owns with 2 friends from high school. I would have enjoyed more buildup to their "reunion". I don't know or understand why then and not before. I guess I just had to buy into his plan without much preamble.

But once that reunion happened, was that ever scorchin'! Call me whatever but the hotness factor was enough for me to enjoy the whole thing teehee... which is what I've come to expect anyways from any of my Entangled Brazen reads. Guess I got what I asked for. Mission accomplished.
