Fitting title!

Teresa Mummert is a new author to me, while I have listened to both narrators (Logan McAllister and Lacy Laurel) before. I enjoyed the point of views of the main characters (Drake and Gabby) in the story. There were some very unexpected twists in this book and I was pleasantly surprised. I think the book would have been better if there were a few more of the insights from Drake's POV. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I received this book as a gift and voluntarily written this review.

SURPRISINGLY MORE TO IT THAN THE AVERAGE QUICKIE

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook through Audiobook Boom at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

Entertaining with some fun twists. At the base level, it was “hate turns to love” for Gabi and “she’s so different he falls for her” for Drake, with angst thrown in from his secretive past.

Logan and Lacy did a crack up job. The story is enhanced having both male and female narrators.

Waving One Thumb Up High!

Wicked

What did you like best about this story?

Drake was my favorite. Actor, sexy, blunt and all alpha male.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Gabby's speech inflection was sing song like. It was a little annoying but I liked her character with Drake.

Great Read

Any additional comments?

Something Wicked was another great book by Teresa Mummert. Teresa Mummert is an amazing author and I love all her books that I've read. Gabby is working at a magazine that she hates with the dreams of being an author. She is set to interview Drake, an actor, at a movie premiere. I loved reading about Gabby being thrown into his world. I recommend everyone read this book. I can't wait to read more by Teresa Mummert.

Amazing

I loved the fact that the characters went back and forth. Great book to listen too.

Rushed story, with sudden ending.

I received this book for free from the author / narrator / publisher, in exchange for an unbiased review.

Give the two main characters some back-story and develop their characters a bit more. As it is, they are very bland and not relatable. The story seemed very rushed and not really enjoyable. The male character kept changing his mood wildly, which was quite disorienting. And then the story ends quite suddenly and it doesn't feel like it concluded properly.

About the narration - it was alright for the most part. But there are sections where the female character is speaking in a very high pitched Golum like voice. That was very annoying.

3.5 Drake Stars

I never know what I'm going to get when I read a Teresa Mummert book. And I like it like that.
She has a unique writing style, her words are easy to digest and absorb, her characters are flawed and messed up and redeemable.

Drake is that redeemable character. You aren't sure if you're going to like him when he first shows up, but when it's all said and done, you do. You may even love him a little.

Gabby is fun, yet serious, beautiful, shy and outspoken. She's quite the contradiction. She's also one of the coolest chicks out there.

And she catches the attention of Hollywood A-lister, Drake.

Yep, it's a fun ride. You better hold on because Teresa throws twists and flips and turns that will have you all over the place.

**I listened to this book. LOVED it. I've gotten to where i typically only choose books by narrators I like and these two make that 'like' list.

"This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."

Loved it!

What did you love best about Something Wicked?

Plenty of heat and plenty of humor.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Gabby, she really comes into herself through this book.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Drake comes by to check on Gabby for the first time.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I really wanted to know how things were going to work out for the characters.

Drake Gibson has a filthy, filthy mouth...

Drake Gibson has a filthy, filthy mouth, and I like it!

This is a standalone title by Teresa Mummert, however there has been some outcry for more, even if it’s just a follow-up novella. There is no word out if this will become a reality or not. I am in the more camp, so my finger and toes will stay crossed in the meantime.

HEA with no cliffhanger!

Warning: SEX!
There is lots of references to sex, in the oh so good way, so those opposed should avoid.

Length: 5 hrs and 22 mins

♥ Story ♥

A potty mouth leads to true love.
That’s Awesome!

Gabriella “Gabby” Sloan wants to be a romance writer but instead works at a magazine doing celebrity pieces, which she hates. She is dating Tyler, who she doesn’t really hate, but she isn’t really happy either. Tyler puts his career first, going as far as to forget their anniversary.

Drake Gibson is a Hollywood movie star at the top of his game. He is currently in a hate-hate relationship with his co-star Julia, who is over demanding and full of drama. Drake’s career is all about the money, and being able to support the little family he has left, and none about happiness. It is starting to wear him thin.

Both of our main characters have a fated encounter at the premiere of Drake’s new movie. Gabby’s day is going all kinds of wrong, and she didn’t want to be there, but got stuck doing it. Being rudely dismissed causes her to break and let out the first thing that comes to her mind.

“I’m guessing it is because you are both assholes.”
– Gabby

Gabby is mortified, but Drake is intrigued. A party and a forgotten email attachment, leads to smexy fun!

Of course it’s not going to be that easy. There are disgruntle, stubborn exes that refuse to take a hint, no matter how clear it is made. Betrayals are rampant, with one being somewhat unexpected. I read a lot of romance so certain plots are not shocking, but there is one particular betrayal that I didn’t see it going THAT way.

I do agree with other reviewers that it ends too abruptly. It could of used a little more after. Lots of fans would like to see a sequel, and if not, a novella. Something to truly wrap-up the story. There was a lot of things that happen in the book, that we are left still wanting to know the outcome. I am one of those people.

This is a good listen that I feel like I can’t really tell you too much without spoiling something.

I want to do a Read Along With Me for this title so it's going on that list.

♥ Author ♥

This is my first read/listen by Teresa Mummert and it was HOT!
She does dirty good!

I was turned-on, surprised, as well as appalled by her characters, which is a great combo for romantic fiction.

I would definitely listen to more titles.
Teresa has 16 titles listed on Audible.

♥ Narrator(s) ♥

Something Wicked has dual POV. Both Logan McAllister and Lacy Laurel narrate this story.
I like having a man do the voice for the alpha males, because dirty talk is so much more sexier when a guy does it. (My personal opinion)


Logan McAllister makes dirty sound HOT! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him. Logan has 55 titles listed on Audible, most of which are already in my wish list, cause, Damn he sounds good.

Lacy Laurel gives a good performance as Gabby, with the emotions and despair really coming through in her delivery. Lacy has 54 titles listed on Audible, and a lot of them look Smexy and sooo going on my wish list.

I did feel that there was a bit of a disconnect with Drake’s character. His voice is done by both voice actors, so there are 2 different “Drakes”. I’m not saying that either one of them were bad, it’s just weird at the switch. In an ideal world, the characters would be cast like an animated movie, where the same person does the voice of X every time.
