Review: Wicked Wish by Sawyer Bennett (Wicked Horse Vegas #2)


Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review.

Two people donning masks in a place where its patrons can leave their inhibitions at the door and indulge in their kink of choice leads to the most earthshaking sex either of them has ever experienced before. But then Walsh Brooks spies something that immediately clues him in on who he's just been with: his best friend's younger sister, Jorinda Price. What could Jorie be doing in a private sex club the Wicked Horse? Last Walsh check Jorie was married, but she informs her of her separation and why things are the way they are between her and her husband. Being with Walsh makes Jorie think that maybe she isn't as unsatisfying in bed as her husband claims she is, but as much as she wants to explore her sexuality with her brother's best friend, Walsh knows he shouldn't cross that line yet again. Jorie is a temptation that's becoming increasingly difficult for Walsh to resist, so maybe if they keep things purely physical, no harm should be done. But when Walsh and Jorie begin to recognize that this is more than sex, how will they resolve the fact that Jorie is still married and that Walsh doesn't actually do relationships?

I love how Sawyer Bennett is able to take a well-worn trope like falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling, gives it the Wicked Horse Vegas treatment, and comes up with a downright dirty love story. The best part? Readers and fans of Bennett's like me reap the decadent rewards. With Wicked Wish, the author gives enough of the familiar bits, i.e. seemingly unrequited crushes from years ago, long-held secret fantasies, the bro code which supposedly includes never pursuing your best friend's sister, to satisfy lovers of this particular trope while also adding a few essential elements--Wicked Horse-patented sex, subtle yet heartfelt romance, and two equally strong main characters. Bennett's writing is enticing and the world she's created in the Vegas location of the Wicked Horse does the same thing as its predecessor--it leaves you wanting more. It's quite possible that I'm addicted to all things Wicked Horse. If you've never read a single book from either the original Wicked Horse series or this Wicked Horse Vegas spin-off, each reads well as a standalone, so go ahead and jump into the five-star wicked goodness of Wicked Wish. ♥

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

Blue Skies (Blue Skies #1) by Marie Sinclair Release Date: October 11, 2023 About Blue Skies Greg loves his job as a flight attendant. If only his love life could make him as happy, he’d be all set. Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
