Blurb:

Blaine Wicked is used to women doing as he says in and out of the bedroom. Find out happens when he falls for the one woman who won’t submit to his wicked ways in the newest insanely sexy, deeply emotional, and laugh-out-loud funny standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster.

 

Blaine Wicked can spot trouble a mile away. As the eldest of five and raised in a Dark Knights biker family, he has always been a protector. Rescuing a stripper from a bad situation comes with the territory, regardless of the hell the mouthy, slightly awkward, and seriously hot leggy blonde gives him for it. She’s far too innocent to bend to his wicked ways, but the more he learns about her, the harder it is for him to walk away.

 Forensic scientist Reese Wilder never imagined herself as the entertainment at a bachelor party, but she’d do anything to keep food on the table for her teenage sister. With their mess of a mother in rehab—Third time’s a charm, right?—Reese is stuck paying off their mother’s debt to a dealer and trying to make ends meet. Reese has had it rough, and she knows better than to rely on anyone for help, much less a pushy biker with piercing blue eyes who probably has dozens of women at his beck and call. 

The more flames Reese throws, the more determined Blaine is to walk through them. The closer he gets, the hotter they burn—and the more curious she becomes. But Blaine Wicked has the power to torch Reese’s walls to embers, and with her sister’s well-being at stake, that’s a risk she can’t afford to take.

My rating; 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

“It’s not the fork in the road that causes the quandary.  It’s the decision of which to take and all the possibilities of what could happen along the way.”

His Wicked Ways is the fifth book in The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside series. You can’t help falling in love with the Wicked family and their friends.  These loyal alpha men and their sassy women will touch your heart and keep you coming back for more of their stories.  This is Blaine Wicked, Preacher and Reba’s oldest child, and Reese Wilder’s journey to happiness. 

 As the oldest of five children, Blaine was a natural protector and take-charge type of man.  Rescuing a sassy stripper at a bachelor’s party should have been enough, but something about Reese made it hard for him to stay away.  He sees the same older sibling protectiveness in her that he has. He doesn’t do relationships but something about Reese tugs at this heart. 

“You don’t scare me, Blaine Wicked. But all that heartache trapped inside you does…Your grief is stacked up inside you like cars on a highway with no exit. Maybe we should build some exit ramps and see what happens.”

Forensic scientist Reese Wilder had protected her younger sister Colette her entire life. With her mother in rehab and all the bills being overdue, Reese takes a part time job helping with entertainment at parties; not realizing she would be the entertainment.  After the groom-to-be gets a little handsy, Blaine helps her get out of the party.  Then he keeps coming back to help her, no matter how hard she tries to push him away.  She knows better than to depend on anyone, but he proves he can be depended upon every time.

This was another outstanding book in the interconnected Love in Bloom series.  Although each book can be read as a standalone, I am slowly making my way through this awesome series and love every book.  I highly recommend reading this book and the entire series.

 I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
