Critic reviews

"Spicy and fun, this romp between the sheets will thrill erotica and mystery fans alike." (Romantic Times)

Woah!!!! Finger licking Good!

Wow! Black is getting better and better! Ok... we already know who Luc is from Decadent. Luc and Deke had the threesome with Kimber... We already know Alyssa from Wicked ties... the owner of the strip club. I vaguely remember in Decadent the mention of these to hooking up and the mention of the 6 hour romp. It did not register until now.

OMG! Black! WHAT! If you have listen to or read Decadent, Luc really has come full circle now. I love this story. Luc and Alyssa is so mismatched but so perfect and Luc... dang.. the way Black expand his character...OMG... it is sooo hot!!! If you enjoyed the smex from Wicked Ties and Decadent, well then, you will go crazy for this, plus the story is awesome too.

One fact I love about series is how they just keep going. Its like the characters just keep living.. ya know. I was wondering what was gonna happen to Luc and now I know.

Maynard is really getting up there with Xe Sands in narration. I really like her. She is very good. All her females from book to book sound the same, so I have to adjust a bit other than that... her narration is really good. Totally worth the buy/or credit...

you can't help but love this series

it's the truth. you can't help but fall deeply in love with these characters with their broken hearts and souls, trying desperately to be mended with sex to fill their empty holes. shayla black has such a way with words and this series is beautifully written. i usually want to listen to them two or three times before "letting them go" back into the void of my listening library, it's that good. they have me captured from beginning to end. the stories are never terribly long yet shayla manages to get so much into the story.

book three is just as charming as book one, and i loved the story between Luc and Alyssa. i couldn't get enough.

My least favorite of the series.

I generally really like the Wicked Lovers series, but this one just wasn't for me. Luc, the main guy, was a real jerk throughout the whole book. Alyssa, the girl, was manipulative and trashy (no matter how much the author tried to make her otherwise). There was way too much rape (past rape, remembered rape, attempted rape, etc.) and way too many bad guys. Just when you think the book is finally almost over, you realize there is yet another stalker. There wasn't anything I particularly liked about this book.

I wanted to kill the hero!

Dude what an a$$! Luc made me crazy! With all the back and forth I really felt for Alyssa in this book. I wanted to kick him in the nuts and tell him to just leave her the hell alone! Yes, okay so he was there for her and all that, it was hot but I seriously cried for her more than once. (I'm not one to cry). Her emotional upheaval was mind boggling! He ended up changing enough for me not to want to kill him. I really like Alyssa, she was full of fire and sass. A great combination! Though she seemed self assured and strong on the outside we got to see into her heart and her completely vulnerable side which was awesome! What a stand up human being!

Overall, book was good, great even just Luc made me crazy, but I guess that is what really makes it great, I was completely emotionally involved in this one.

A little too much drama

It was just always one more thing after another. I kept thinking okay thats enough drama and it will finally get to the point. But every time it was always something else following the same type of plot twist, she puts herself in some stupid situation she almost gets her someone saves her at the last minute. It got exhausting after a while. I usually love this author but this book was just exhausting.
