Wicked Choice

Wicked Choice is a sexy, emotional story. Rachel Hart & Bodie Wright are operatives in a high risk security firm called The Jameson Group. After a stressful mission, they cross a line and have a passionate night together. Rachel's world is pulled out from under her and all her plans for the future are at stake when she finds out she is pregnant. Bodie is happy to raise his baby with or without Rachel but he is determined to show her how good it could be together. Their nights of smoking hot passion at the Wicked Horse is just the beginning in proving they are more than teammates. But can sexy, alpha Bodie convince thrill seeking Rachel, that a baby doesn't end a thrilling life, but enhances it? This emotional, heartfelt, hot and sexy story is an exciting journey. I loved how this refreshing story dealt with not only Rachel and Bodie coming to terms with their surprise pregnancy, but also how their friends and teammates did as well. I loved this story and am excited to see where this series goes from here!

Get ready to swoon for Bodie Wright! He was the perfect hero in the newest installment of the Wicked Horse Vegas series. This is book 4 in the series, but can be read as a stand alone. Sawyer Bennett tells you right from the start that this story is going to be a bit different from the previous books. It still has lots of sexy times and engaging and lovable characters, but the actual Wicked Horse sex club takes a bit of a backseat this time around. Instead, the focus is on the struggles of our hero and heroine and the elite Jameson Group. I really enjoyed this more tame romance (compared to the other books) and Bodie wins for my favorite hero so far. He really couldn't have been more perfect and was just the right amount of alpha and sweetheart. Rachel was also a great heroine, struggling with societal norms and her desire to march to the beat of a different drum. I loved watching their relationship develop slowly and steadily from something casual to something truly remarkable. Probably the most refreshing thing about the story though were the spins that Bennett took on common romance tropes. Rachel was not the typical heroine you encounter. She is 9 years older than our hero and it is actually Bodie, the eternal family man, who is more invested in having and raising a child. Of course, this only made Bodie more endearing. The epilogue was sweet and left me wanting more. I hope this isn't the last time we see these two! *I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book*

4.25 stars--WICKED CHOICE is the fourth instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult WICKED HORSE VEGAS erotic, romance series focusing on the men and women of the exclusive sex club The Wicked Horse and The Silo-a spin off from the author’s original Wicked Horse series. This is mercenaries for hire Rachel Hart and Bodie Wright’s story line. WICKED CHOICE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. NOTE: WICKED CHOICE is a bit of a departure from Sawyer Bennett’s Wicked Horse series. As a ‘bridge’ between two series Wicked Choice sets the stage for the author’s new romantic, suspense spin-off series focusing on the men and women who work for The Jameson Group-mercenaries for hire. Told from dual first person points of view (Rachel and Bodie) WICKED CHOICE follows the building relationship between teammates and mercenaries for hire Rachel Hart and Bodie Wright. Following a mission that went horribly wrong Rachel buried her emotions in alcohol and sex-a one night stand with Bodie Wright-that resulted in an unplanned pregnancy for our story line heroine. Believing motherhood will interfere in her long range plans, our tough as nails, fiercely independent heroine makes Bodie an offer he cannot refuse. What ensues is the building romance and love between Rachel and Bodie-a highly sexual relationship neither one expected to go beyond the needs of their physical desires. Bodie Wright is a family man who isn’t afraid to step up and step in when Rachel announces their untimely pregnancy. Hoping to raise the child on his own, Bodie becomes support network and loving partner for a woman who battles between head and her heart. Believing she would be a bad mother Rachel offers up a promise to hand over the child she will never love. The relationship between Bodie and Rachel begins as teammates and partners that grows into something more. A one-night stand will push Bodie and Rachel together, for better or for worse, when an unplanned pregnancy forces our couple to make plans for the future, one way or another. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense but as usual, I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word that doesn’t belong in a romance story line. We are introduced to Bodie and Rachel’s teammates and fellow mercenaries at The Jameson Group: Cage Murdock, Locke Meyers, August Greenfield, Tank Richardson,, Sal Mezzina, and Benji Darden; the current owner of The Jameson Group Kynan McGrath; Jerico Jameson, founder and former owner of The Jameson Group, as well as the current owner and proprietor of the Wicked Horse, Vegas; Bodie’s parents George and Estelle Wright; and Ob-Gyn Dr. Anchors. The world building focuses on the dangerous assignment and potential threats to the men and women who work for The Jameson Group. The Wicked Horse and The Silo are no longer the main focus in this particular story line as the author sets the stage for her upcoming series. There is a sight cross-over with the author’s Cold Fury Hockey series as well. WICKED CHOICE is a sexy, spirited and spicy story line; the characters re energetic and passionate; the romance is provocative and intoxicating.
