Wicked Favor

4.5 STARS! Wildly erotic and deeply intriguing! Once again, I was completely seduced by the potential naughty promises of The Wicked Horse, and it did not disappoint. Jerico and Trista kept me engaged with a spectacular combination of explosive chemistry, heartfelt emotion and a dash of deceit. Jerico owes Trista's brother a favor. When her brother sends her to Jerico to collect, he takes to opportunity to turn the tables in his favor, while Trista remains clueless to his ulterior motives. But before Jerico takes the fall he set himself up to take, Trista boldly embraces her sexuality within the walls of the club, and even tries her hand at topping from the bottom a few times. That's my kind of heroine! This story was white hot and intense and once I started reading, I didn't want to stop.

I liked it but not much as compared to previous wicked horse novels. Jerico's character is inconsistent, the novel did not show the development and intensity of his feelings to Trisha. The going to Congo to move on seems to be an after thought twist. I did not emphasize with the characters, perhaps because the problem presented appears to be lamed. Though they are indeed enormous but the way it unfold in the story were not enough to pull the emotions of the readers.

***4.5 ‘Letting Go’ Stars*** When it was announced that Sawyer Bennett was doing a spin off of The Wicked Horse series I swear I let out a squee of glee and was bouncing around like a kid having to go pee. I loved the original series and couldn’t wait to see how the debauchery level would raise with a franchise in Vegas and I wasn’t disappointed! Don’t even bother with panties while reading this baby because it’s HOT! And be prepared to have your heart melt was a confirmed one and done bachelor gets his own frosty heart melted when he least expected it. Jerico Jameson is all kinds of hot smexy alpha male (Seriously. Does Sawyer Bennett write any non smexy alpha’s?? Don’t think so) who comes across as a cold and calculating one and done man and yet...It was that and yet that had me waiting to see just who the man beneath all that ice was and the wait was worth it. The heart that beat was bruised, but as it started to heal the man became even more lethal to not only my panties, but my heart. I adored Trista from the start. She’s hit a major bump in the road, and despite the odds being stacked against her, she takes it in stride and does what needs to be done to get through it. I loved how comfortable she was with herself and her sexuality and was willing to step outside of her comfort zone, with a little hesitancy, but she still dove in like a champ. With their relationship starting out on uneven ground, as well as a bit shady, it was fun to watch as things with Jerico and Trista not only started to heat up, but even out until they both held an almost equal amount of power in their relationship which changed the tone of it, at least on one level. To say that they were smoking hot is an understatement, and probably unnecessary to put out there, but there it is. I’m still waffling over how I feel about Jerico using Trista as a pawn and just HOW he was going to do it, but anger and hurt make one do crazy things, as well as how it all played out. So since I don’t have a clear cut feeling towards it all, I’ll just be a little lame and leave it as I really love where the are at the end of the book. It’s hard for me to NOT be all kinds of happy while reading a Sawyer Bennett book since I’m a fangirl because she writes such great characters. I get drawn in from the first page and more often than not fall into adoration, love, lust with the characters and even if I don’t, I find them intriguing enough to see what becomes of them in the end. And for those that want to know. This is an erotic romance that takes place in a sex club so, YES, to all your questions and it is all deliciously consensual. ~ Copy provided by InkSlinger PR & voluntarily reviewed ~
