by SAWYER BENNETT
Rachel Hart and Bodie Wright are nothing more than teammates. As mercenaries for hire with the elite Jameson Group, they have each other’s backs in the most dangerous of circumstances. But after a mission gone deadly wrong, Rachel does something she’s never done before. She crosses the professional line and takes comfort in Bodie’s arms.
One night of passion turns their lives upside down with a pregnancy neither of them expected, and one that Rachel was too terrified to ever want. Bodie, however, is a family man through and through, and he’s determined to raise their child alone if necessary.
The only common thread Rachel and Bodie have is their membership at The Wicked Horse, a sex club that lets them both fulfill their dirtiest fantasies with each other. As they become more intimately entwined, the strong, steady man with a heart of gold makes Rachel question everything she ever thought she knew about herself. Their wicked nights together make them so much more than teammates and Rachel is about to discover the choices she thought were the most difficult are actually the easiest ones to make.
"Call it chemical, call it emotional...I don't give a fuck what you call it. But it's something different, and I know you know it too."
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES. Sometimes I feel like I just want to say, "I loved this book. This one should be on your kindle. Just read it. Kthxbye." But, that doesn't always work now, does it? I've read TWO books in this series in a row and I'm on a Sawyer Bennett HIGH!! I just finished Wicked Envy and you can read my review HERE. I am just going to say, I'm in bliss. TWO books. TWO heartfelt stories. But TWO different reviews and giveaways. Buckle up!
First and foremost, Bodie is MINE. I know, I know. Someone else may try to claim him, but I'm just going to put that out there IN WRITING. Hahaha! He will honestly give many other book boyfriends a bad name. He was literal perfection. He was SO intuitive when it came to Rachel and what she needed, it was heartwarming. I mean, he is a mercenary., so I expected bad-assery galore. Cold, aloof, disconnected...but he has a heart of gold. A little bit of sweetness, with a little bit of alpha. So damn sexy. Such a contradiction in terms to me. I loved it! He was the consummate gentleman, the naughty dirty man, and the caring lover. I just couldn't get enough of him.....at all.
"God help me...I fucking want her bad. If I have to go a little alpha to keep her underneath me, I'm going to do it."
I want to comment on Rachel's character; her personality. She was one tough cookie. Like, legit don't mess with me kinda gal. She works in a male dominated field as a mercenary, and that in and of itself has got to be a job for a special kind of person. I hate to say someone that can remove the feelings from their world, but I do understand that she would have to have a certain 'removed' mentality.....and that really summed her up. Quite emotionally removed from many situations, and while this dealt with that a lot with her, her growth was pivotal in this book.
Granted, this is part of The Wicked Horse Vegas series, and while they visit the club, I really felt this was more of a story of two people falling in love and less to do with the club, even though they spent time there. Sometimes her stories are more centered around the club as a way to meet, or a place to hang out. I liked that this one wasn't really like that. I felt the story was more about their relationship and how it progressed, given their circumstances.
I thought along the way: uh oh....is this book going to really live up to it's title??? Well, I think it most definitely did. I loved the dynamic between these two characters. I loved how Bodie treated Rachel, the way he helped her figure things out on her own terms, but the way he let her come to a realization with any circumstance she was in. Rachel was unable to come to terms with some of her emotions, and the fact that Bodie could step back and allow her the comfortability and the strength of his heart that allowed her to grow. OMGosh....I loved how well they worked together, but when he knew to step back and he knew when to push. He was so good to her.
It's no secret, I love Sawyer Bennett. I read, review, and give away a copy every time she has a new release. It's hard to make my reviews sound different for every book, but I'm comfortable and can easily recommend each one I review on my blog. I hope you take a chance, even though I just gushed all over this review, singing her praises on her stories.
