His Wicked Ways by Melissa Foster
The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside #5

Hot, heartwarming, wonderful book ~ Could not put it down and went to bed with a smile on my face!

What I liked:
* Reese Wilder: forensic scientist, big sister, caretaker for her younger sister, addicted mother, from dysfunction family, trying to pay off mother’s debt, independent, survivor, strong, resilient, has trust issues, rather taken with Blaine
* Blaine Wicked: member of Dark Knights MC, oldest brother of five siblings, alpha, protective, a bit closed off, has communication issues, a bit of a bulldozer, reliable, caring, creative, knows what he wants in and out of the bedroom
* Colette “Lettie” Wilder: fifteen, Reese’s sister, snarky, acting out, comes out of her shell and grow in positive ways as the story progresses
* The meet-cute – oh my
* The progress of the romance between Blaine and Reese – hot, wonderful, and loving
* Watching the Wickeds interact and seeing their love and family vibe when together
* The way the problems Reese was facing were eventually taken care of and how Blaine and his friends and family were there for her and Colette
* The plot, pacing, writing, characters, and conclusion
* That I was drawn in, cared about the characters, and was invested in the story

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about the impact addiction, rape, and predators have on individuals and the ripple effect one individual can have on those around them

Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series/by this author? Definitely
NOTE: You don’t have to read these books in the series first as each can be read as a standalone story. That said, you might end up wanting TO read the others as I now do!

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
