Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author, Sawyer Bennett, is happy to introduce a new Wicked Horse club in Las Vegas, and you’re cordially invited to attend the grand opening....   

As the owner of The Wicked Horse, an elite sex club located along the Vegas Strip, I never spend the night alone. I don’t grant favors and will rarely give you the time of day - unless I want you in my bed. So when the sister of my sworn enemy shows up asking for help, saying “no” should be easy. But all I see is the opportunity to help this beautiful woman while exacting revenge on her brother, and I am not about to pass that up.   

Beaten and bruised, Trista Barnes is running out of options, and, unfortunately for her, I’m her last chance to get out of the mess she’s in. She doesn’t know why I despise her brother so much, but as long as I can help her, she doesn’t care. And while I am more than happy to keep her safe, I intend to do so while opening her up to a sinful world she never knew existed.   

As Trista falls into the wicked world of guilt-free pleasure with no regrets, my feelings of possessiveness begin to grow. But when she finds out I used her as my pawn for revenge, my wicked favor may cost me everything.

A SENSUAL JOURNEY OF LUST, REVENGE, SEX & LOVE

I love Sawyer Bennett's books, they're always a good balance of erotica and romance, and I enthusiastically followed all the kinky alphas from The Wicked Horse series as they each found the one woman who would rock their world, bring out his possessive side and tame their man's manwhoring ways. And one by one they went from being hungry charismatic Players in the Wicked Horse's elite Silo Sex Club where they had random sexcapades with a multitude of faceless women.. to only wanting one woman. I was sad to see this series end... but I shouldn't of worried because yaye Sawyer Bennett has created the Vegas branch of The Wicked Horse and ladies it's even hotter than ever.

The Vegas branch is owned by the handsome charismatic badass Jerico Jameson an ex-military special ops man who also owns the Jameson Group who are contracted to provide military-type backup whenever and wherever needed. Jerico's been burned before, so now he plays.. he plays dirty, he plays kinky and he plays hard - never risking his heart again. When his sworn enemy's beautiful sister desperately confronts him one night pleading for his help.. Jerico seizes the chance for revenge on the man who once ruined more than his life by scheming a bitter-sweet sinfully wicked plan. But you know what they say about revenge.. so Jerico start digging - because you'll fall hard, your plans will eventually be found out, your heart will be on the line and you only have yourself to blame.

Trista needed money for her six year old niece's heart operation, she'd been given medical custody after her mum ran out on her daughter and Trista wasn't about to let her niece down.. but the sale of her house fell through and Trista had to borrow the money from a greedy lowlife who's calling in the loan and demanding twice the amount of the original loan. She's lost her job, her money's all gone and Trista's got nothing to loose - her brother is owed a favor by the wealthy owner of The Wicken Horse and suggests she asks him for help. Trista is willing to work hard for the money if only Jerico is prepared to grant her the favor.. however the favor will come with sexy strings.. strings that will open her eyes to a whole new world.. a world of orgies, voyeurism, kink, dirty pleasures, self discovery and much much more. They'll also lead to love.. to secrets shared, to secrets that'll be painfully discovered, to erotic passion and erotic pleasure both given and received, to emotional highs and to heartbreaking lows, to a betrayal and to shattered trust.

This dual POV book was very very hot as Sawyer Bennett described the scenes within the playrooms of The Wicked Horse and also the sizzling antics of the sex God who owns it, who regularly takes his pleasure there and who has sexually seen and done just about everything.. until Trista. The naive yet strong sassy independent heroine soon shrugs off her vanilla ways because she's got a dirty-talking possessive alpha who is only too willing, eager and able to show her just what she's been missing. A very compelling storyline that starts off with sex and eventually progresses to love - and the narrators made it even more enjoyable.

Worth a credit? If you're looking for a well-written erotic romance then me thinks you've just found your next book because yes, IMO, this is definitely creditworthy.

✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫

Loved this spin-off! Jericho acts like a tough guy who doesn't need or want anything until Trista comes into his life! I loved listening to him fall in love and get frazzled with his feelings and seeing his softer side. This book was hot and sweet, perfect mixture for me. I will be continuing this series for sure.

The narration was good. I enjoy both Lance and Kirsten very much!

So Disapointed

Full disclosure: I did not finish the book.

I usually love Sawyer Bennett and I really loved the Wicked Horse series. It was filthy but it was also sweet. It had heart. There was a ton of sex, some of it very much non-vanilla, but there was a deep connection between the two main characters. That was not the case in this book, or at least as much of it as I could get through before I got fed up and quit.

I am not a prude and am not bothered by sex scenes that are outside so-called normal boundaries but I have a real issue with sex scenes where the female is being used and/or it comes off degrading. I have a real problem with a woman being used for revenge but the biggest problem that I have, and is where I stopped listening, is being recorded without consent. I am sorry but a woman being recorded in her most intimate moments without her consent and with the intent of sharing that, again without her consent, is violation pure and simple. It's also, if not outright illegal, definitely borderline. The hero is an asshole with no redeeming features. Maybe that changes as the book goes on but I was too irritated to keep going and find out.

Another Hit for Bennett!!

After Bridger's story, I've been having wicked 🐎 withdrawals.
Wicked 🐎 Vegas has all the drama, suspense, and hot sex scenes I've been missing.
Sawyer Bennett has a way of twisting a group of people up like a pretzel so uniquely it's never repetitive.
Listening to Lance Greenfield took some getting used to.
Don't get me wrong the narration was awesome and Lance did a great job..
I'm just used to hearing Lee Samuel's voice.
I'm still a huge fan of the book and in
my opinion, this is a 10 star listen.
It's hands down 👏 worth the credit!!

4.5 SHINING STARS

What made the experience of listening to Wicked Favor the most enjoyable?

The excellent performance of the narrators while relating the story and bringing it to life is absolutely amazing, provocative, satisfaying, enjoyable and outstanding!! WOW!!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jerico and Trista are my favorite characters so far. Their story is unique and different from the previous series and I love how well plotted, enthralling, intense, passionate and brilliantly executed it was!!

What does Kirsten Leigh and Lance Greenfield bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They brough the story to life. All I have to do is close my eyes and they make me feel part of the story. I can feeling what their feeling. The characters emotions are palpable. Is the most delightful and enjoyable feeling capable of blowing ones mind away.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The moment Jerico realizes and accept his true feelings for Trista.“Trista is the standard. She’s what all women should aspire to be, and what all men should hope to have one day. I get it now. And I’m ready.”

Any additional comments?

I just want to thank the author for the excellent beginning of this fabulous new series and the narrators their outstanding performance by becoming one with the characters!!

another great book

Sawyer Bennett did it again. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

Falls short

Maybe if I hadn't listened to the initial Wicked Horse series first I might have given a different review, The Las Vegas series has neither of the heart of Wyoming nor the soul of the owner/operators of the first Wicked Horse, Woolf, Bridger and Cain all had knowledge of and compassion for their members and went out of their way to help them, and each other, when needed. Jericho exhibited none of these attributes and was consumed with revenge and thought nothing of using an innocent, as his best friend described Trista, to achieve it. Kristen Leigh was fine as a narrator, but Lance Greenfield didn't project the image of an Alpha male needed for these characters.

Lots of sex as the Vegas wicked Horse owner falls in love

Jericho Jamison was very much mistreated by his ex-fiancé but it shouldn’t give him permission to be a giant ass to all women. Nor does owning a sex club give him leeway to secretly film an employee, the nieve Trisda, while taking advantage of her. Nor is acceptable for someone as sexually experienced to plot revenge on an enemy by not just seducing but publicly having a 3 way and sexually sharing a woman who has never considered this lifestyle while that woman is working off a debt and under the influence of alcohol. So he gets off too easy in the end in a very lackluster conclusion. What makes little sense in this storyline is how someone who is also in the business of intelligence doesn’t gather information about this new employee prior to agreeing to hire her let alone sleep with her. He doesn’t begin to seek answers until weeks into their relationship. Plus if Trisda is so smart how is it she doesn’t file a wrongful termination suit for being fired after taking a week of sick leave for care of a seriously ill family member. This story has plenty of wholes, a lot of erotic scenes, and not very sympathetic characters except for little Corinne and best friend Kynan.
The narration was ok except for Lance Greenfield’s mediocre British accent for Kynan. Worth getting as a sale book but borderline worthy of a credit.

Loved the book!

Loved the storyline. I didn't think the male narrator fit the book. He was more east coat and his female voice narration wasn't the best

Fantastic!!

OMG!!! A whole other world is out there and boy listening to this book makes you want to try it out!
