My Review:
Dirty Wicked by Shayla Black is part of her fabulous Wicked Lovers series as well as release number 17 in the 2016 1,001 Dark Nights line-up. I adore Ms. Black’s writing and was so excited for this story. Well, she did not disappoint! Filled with heat and suspense, this novella was just what the doctor ordered!
When a blast from his past knocks on his door, Nick can’t help but wonder what twist of fate has led to this moment. You see, he’d been in love with the woman knocking on his door for what seemed like a lifetime and now she was here, asking him for his help. No way could he turn that down…for more reasons that one. But did she really want to trust an ex-con? More than that, could he take this chance fate has given him and ask for more from her after he helped get her and her daughter safe again? One thing he was sure of….he’d waited long enough. She was going to be his.
Man, I loved this story! I loved the history between Sasha and Nick. I loved Nick’s restrained passion even though he has so much of it for her. I loved that he was willing to wait for Sasha to acknowledge her feelings for him on her terms and he wasn’t going to push her even though he was hanging on by a thread. There is something so damn sexy about a man like that, right?? I also loved Sasha’ tenacity and resolve to keep her daughter safe at any cost. She is 100% a gal all of us can relate to especially when it comes to that. The heat and sexual tension between these two is so delicious and done so well. And when they finally do come together? Oh…my…goodness. It was so hot and so emotional and just so amazing. I also have to say how much I loved the suspense and action aspect of this story. It was really well done and added a fantastic layer.
Whether you’re already a Shayla Black fan or she is totally new to you, I know you will love Dirty Wicked as much as I did!
