Wicked Bond

The Wicked Horse Series

By: Sawyer Bennett

Narrated by: Kirsten Leigh, Lee Samuels

Length: 10 hrs and 30 mins

Publisher's summary

Bridger Payne is an enigma that no one can figure out. Wise beyond his years, eerily intuitive, and sexy as hell, every woman in The Silo wants him.

None can have him.

Not the real man, anyway.

He might wield the lash for you if you ask prettily, but he'll get no gratification from it. He'll definitely make you scream, but he won't think twice about you when he walks away.

Bridger carries the darkest of secrets. He's filled with too much pain.

He's utterly untouchable.

Until she came along.

Awesome Book Series!

Really loved this book series. So emotional! Laughed and cried. Hot and sexy men and women!

Steamy and magnificent...

...that is the only way to describe this series of books by Sawyer Bennett! This one is the perfect end to this series. I cannot recommend these books highly enough!

A bit too dark

I’m slightly disappointed in this book because I thought the storyline would be more interesting. Realizing Bridger would have serious issues based on previous books, just thought it would be better. Not very fond of Maggie because much of her woes was self-inflicted. Hope Wicked Vegas series is better. Narrators did a great job.

THE FIFTH & FINAL... & WOW WHAT AN EMOTIONAL STORY

Well folks this is the final book in Sawyer Bennett's awesome series that's been packed full of action, suspense, bad guys, hot sex, raw emotions, great characters, romance, love... and happy endings. And, as the saying goes, she really did leave the best til last coz Bridger's story is one that sucks you straight in and will tug at your heart strings at the emotional pain that Bridger's endured. As part owner of the Wicked Horse and the Silo Sex Club he's been in all the other books where he's helped out his friends - either in or out of the Silo setting but he's always been aloof, detached and emotionally switched off.... but he just needed the right woman to unlock his heart.

In this book Bridger is dissatisfied with his life - he's seen all four of his friends find peace, contentment and love and, although he knows that's never going to be him, he yearns for something unknown and just out of reach. He's damaged, haunted and tormented by horrific child abuse which has left him with numerous 'triggers', demands and restrictions on sexual activities and emotionally alienates himself from the act. But when an acquaintance leaves an unconscious, beaten and tortured woman in his care little does Bridger know that she'll be his salvation and the key to unlocking his lifeless heart.

Maggie was a rebellious teen - but years later she's still paying for it - because she's just been rescued from purgatory - a two year purgatory at the hands of a mean and vicious biker President and his Old Lady who each made her life a living Hell in different ways. She feels safe now in Bridger's house - he's moody, sexy, handsome as sin and all Alpha - but how long will it last because Bridger talks about an end date, the MC are relentlessly looking for her and, now that they're lovers, how safe is her heart?

As with all of Sawyer Bennett's books there's sizzling chemistry, smokin hot sex and loveable multi-layered characters and this one's no exception but your heart breaks for the emotional torment that Bridger faces as he mentally wars with the demons of his past in order to get a future with Maggie. This is an emotion-fuelled romance as a very understanding and loving Maggie tries to slate the demons that haunt Bridger's past... while Bridger tries to keep Maggie safe from the flesh and blood ones that aim to kill her. Dual POV's, there's well loved faces from the previous books and flawless narration.

Worth a credit? It's hot, it's heavy, it's sweet as well as raw, it's got angst, drama and a loveable but damaged Alpha Hero... and it's been an addictive and beautiful listen too to see two damaged souls save each other - so HELL YES creditworthy. And it's with a heavy heart that I have to say adieu to a series whose characters I've loved, whose stories have held me riveted and whose flawed, kinky and possessive Alphas have each left his mark... not on my flesh but on my heart.

best of the series!!

You always wonder about Bridger throughout the entire series. This was an amazing story, and it was so great to finally hear his side. My favorite of the series!!!

Wicked Bond

Wonderful book. It was great to see such tragic characters overcome obstacles and find peace and love.

Loved it!!!!

I'm so happy Bridger's story was finally told. I couldn't wait to hear his story. As sad as it is to hear that he went through all that heart ache, it helps explain his adversities to certain situations. I'm so happy that he was able to overcome them eventually and not let the best things that had ever happened in his life pass him by. This story had a some of all your favorite characters from the other books dropping in for a bit. It was good to hear from them.

The male narrator really had Bridger's voice and intonations down pat. So happy it didn't change from other books in the series.

Loved it! Hope we get more stories of the sort. Maybe Ted's story? Not ready to let go...

Love this Series!

Another great book in this series! I don't love the tortured damaged guy but Bridger is one of those you can't help but love! He has so many ghosts in his past that he can't seem to move past them. Mags is a tough girl with a trouble on her heals. These to explode together. Their relationship is awesome! The sex, the dirty talk and even the softer sides were perfect! This book is crazy HOT!!!! I love this series! I have no idea how many books are going to be in this series but I really hope there are more! I need a book where the characters spend a lot of time at the Silo <3

Great narration too!!! I love Lee Samuels & Kirsten Leigh!

Wicked Interesting

Where does Wicked Bond rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the first audiobook I've ever listened to so far. Enjoyed it immensely.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Bridger, as tormented as he is, he is still full of compassion.

Which character – as performed by Kirsten Leigh and Lee Samuels – was your favorite?

I enjoyed both Bridger and Mags.

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

I listened to most of it during a drive on vacation. Easily could have listened to it in one sitting if the drive was longer.

Any additional comments?

Had I not read the book beforehand, I think I may have enjoyed this even more. I had in my head how I thought the characters would sound and when I started the audiobook the voices threw me off a bit...but the more I listened to them, the more their voices grew into the characters I read about.

An excellent conclusion to a fascinating series!

Would you consider the audio edition of Wicked Bond to be better than the print version?

I didn't read the print version first so I couldn't say. I started this series via audiobook and enjoyed the performances of both Kirsten Leigh (5 stars) and Lee Samuels (4.5 stars) so much that I had to read it in this format for the entirety of the series.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Bridger because he was survivor.

Which scene was your favorite?

The advice scene with Bridger and Adrian was one of my favorite scenes that comes to mind now several days later after I've read it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were definitely plenty of moments that sparked a strong response.

Any additional comments?

It was probably the most fascinating tale in the Wicked Horse series. Bridger's backstory was heavy, tragic and disheartening. Maggie's recent trauma was mind-blowing. I was disgusted by the actions of the monsters in each of their lives. But Bridger and Maggie healed each other, and I loved how they banded together to protect someone even more vulnerable and very precious.
