Wicked Wish (Wicked Horse Vegas, Book #2) by Sawyer Bennett is back and better than ever. What happens when the girl next door falls for her older brothers best friend? If he’s a member of The Wicked Horse it’s bound to be complicated. Hang on readers, this is not your typical friends to lovers story. It’s better.
Jorie Pearce if full of anger and feeling inadequate after her husband tossed her aside, is she really so bland and boring? Fueled with a desire to prove she’s not a failure a trip to The Wicked Horse with her best friend is the perfect solution. It’s the perfect place to cheer her up and leave her satisfied, for at least one night.
Walsh Brooks built his Vegas empire and whatever his desire is, it can be fulfilled in a nano second. A masked ball lends to the mystery in the place he loves the most. What will happen when he realizes the woman in his lair was the one woman he hasn’t let go of? A memorable night will shock them both, it was supposed to be anonymous. Oh, the tangled web they’ve found themselves in and one that will leave you planted in your cozy chair till the very last page.
Ten years is a long time for Walsh to keep his desire bottled up, especially when it involves his best friends little sister. One night at the Wicked Horse will change everything between Walsh and Jorie. Too many secrets that could destroy a chance at a future, will it stay hidden forever?
Walsh is not a man to reason with, he knows what he wants and will stop at nothing to have it. Jorie is no longer willing to sit and push her needs aside, and is not so easy to be put her in her place. No one, not even Walsh, will be able stop her. It’s absolutely electric.
Another home run for Sawyer Bennett. I love the characters journey in the Wicked Horse and the plot weaves in and out of the club. In a world where the limits are self guided, Jorie and Walsh will discover just how far they can go on their journey towards love. It’s time to take a ride, there is no map, and you have a full tank of gas. Buckle up, it’s going to be a wild ride!
While this book can be read as a standalone, I preferred to read it after consuming Wicked Fever and then one-click Wicked Wish. This spicy latte read is four peppers hot for full on, no holds barred sensuality and situations. It’s for mature readers 18+.
I received this book from the author for a fair and honest review.

Duke of Desire is the twelfth book in the Maiden Lane series by Elizabeth Hoyt. While ech book can be read as a standalone I highly recommend reading this series in order for the full appreciation of Elizabeth’s magnificent storytelling.
Raphael de Chartres has one goal, to bring down the Lords of Chaos and he will stop at nothing until they are destroyed. The Lords of Chaos have haunted Raphael for decades and just when his goal is in sight, his plan is derailed.
Lady Iris Jordan must trust Raphael when he rescues her from impending harm. A plan is hatched and if she’s to stay alive, she must agree to Raphael’s demands. Can she trust the one man who could ruin her?
Dive into a story that is emotionally satisfying and everything readers expect from the Maiden Lane series. The trauma and tragedy that has plagued Raphael his entire life is what has driven him towards revenge. Will the years of plotting find him at the end of that road alive or dead? Will Iris fall for a man who is damaged or will she look beyond to the man he is today? What will happen when Raphael’s desire for Iris burns so hot that he’s forced to choose? Sometimes you can’t fight love and our dear hero will need to choose.
With the heat and intensity in this book I give it three Peppers as it’s pretty hot and might offend. For mature readers 18+
I received this ARC from the publisher for a fair and honest review.
Check out the Excerpt below and see for yourself.
********
Iris held her head high as she stared at Raphael. “Why?”
“I’ve already told you why I choose not to have an heir. My reasons are—”
“Your reasons are patently ridiculous!” She’d raised her voice, but she couldn’t find it within herself to care. “You say you desire women, you kiss me twice, you have no struggle in becoming hard—”
Raphael closed his eyes, and a muscle jumped in his jaw. “Madam. Quit this line of questioning now, I beg of you, for if you do not, I shall not be responsible for the consequences.”
Iris watched him and saw a man with his temper barely leashed, his jaw hard as a rock, the muscles in his arms and shoulders bunched, his entire aspect so frozen he nearly shook.
He’d told her to stop. And she had—twice before. “I cannot quit my questions—I’m married to you. I have no other choice but you if I want to have children—and I do—therefore please explain to me why you won’t bed me. Why you think we shouldn’t make a child together.”
She had known that he could move quickly. Still it was a shock when she found herself pressed against the back of her seat, his face inches from hers.
“God’s blood, woman, how much control do you think I have?” he whispered, his clove-scented breath brushing her face. “You must think me a saint by the way you harangue me despite my warnings. Listen and listen well: I am no saint.”
“But I don’t need a saint,” she breathed, her voice trembling. “I don’t want a saint. I want you.”
“God forgive me,” he snarled, and pulled her mouth to his.

EXCLUSIVE Throne of Secrets Excerpt:
Arela’s words from three weeks ago repeat over and over in my head like a broken record. And just like the first time I heard them, my stomach drops to my feet and my emotions spin out of control. Doubt that I can be the person to unite two kingdoms. Shock that I’m even considering that I’ll be the one to do it. Happiness that someone will unite the two kingdoms, worry that Arela is having chats with the Goddess of Faerie. And finally, determination to sort through all of it and make sure that everyone I love comes out unscathed.
I shiver and wrap the blanket I’d grabbed tightly around me. Dawn is approaching and the dark blues of the sky are slowly being replaced with streaks of orange and yellow. I’m sitting on the top of the front gate of the Goblin castle. The cool stone seeps through the blanket I’m huddled in, but I don’t mind it. I’ve come here every morning for the past week so I can sit in silence and think. Everyone around me is making plans and guessing at outcomes and I just need a few minutes to myself to process. Just a few moments to take a deep breath and clear my head. The darkness of the night matches the murkiness of my thoughts and my mood perfectly.
What I need is answers. I need someone to give it to me straight and not tack on their own political agenda. The chances of that happening are slim to none. I’m too close to all the parties involved for them to be unbiased. I need someone who doesn’t have anything invested in the outcome of my appearance in the Light Elven Kingdom. MECA could probably not care less, but then again, I recently learned they aren’t as uninvolved as they tell everyone they are. The Goblin Kingdom has given me shelter and taken care of those I hold dearest, but they hold might above all else. Allying with the Light Elven Kingdom would only make them more fearsome. Last but not least, my mother is a royal in the Light Elven Kingdom and my uncle is the current king. My mother is still missing, which adds to my worry, and my uncle is trying to make history. I’m sick of being a pawn in a deadly game of political chess. I pull at a loose string on the blanket and grumble under my breath.
“If only I could see snippets of the future. A glimpse is all I’m asking for.”
I look up into the fading darkness and pray that my wishes are heard by anyone who can help. Minutes go by and my glimmer of hope flicks out and helplessness fills my chest. Why me? Why would anyone involved in the grand scheme of things want me to help them? I’m angry most of the time and full of inappropriate sarcastic comments. I try to protect everyone around me but it seems like I mostly fail. I fail all the time and each time I do it’s like another piece of my soul crumbles into a pile of ash. I can barely make sense of my own emotions let alone help everyone else with theirs. There’s got to be a reason as to why I’m tangled up in all of this. Unfortunately, no one has any gods damned answers for me, so here I am. Sitting on the ramparts and tossing wishes into the universe like a child tosses a coin into a well.
“Perhaps I can help you with your glimpse, Ever.”
