A Little Bit Wicked - The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside By Melissa Foster Finishing this book, I felt okay, maybe a little underwhelmed although I enjoyed the story. I was not fully disappointed in the ending because I started this series on book 5, His Wicked Ways, and then started the series from the beginning. (Side note: this is due to seeing Foster’s posts on IG, promoting the newly released His Wicked Ways book.) While each can be read as a stand-alone, I recommend reading in order if you enjoy the character building, even for main characters who transition to supplemental characters as a series progresses. Getting back to my point, having already read book 5, I was at an advantage to know how things would end up in the future for our main characters, Justin and Chloe. Had I not read book 5 first, I probably would have been disappointed at this ending, just because I would assume their story wouldn’t continue as the series shifted focus with each new book. Essentially, A Little Bit Wicked showcases the love/hate friendship between Justin and Chole, who have been friends for a year and a half. Justin adores Chloe and is constantly the male friend who calls her pet names and wants to just spend time with her. Chloe is a self-proclaimed independent woman whose past makes it hard to trust “tough guys”, ie Justin Wicked because he is in a motorcycle club. Despite the chemistry they both feel when they are together, Chloe continues to turn down Justin’s attempts to begin a relationship with her. The majority of the books I have read this year have been written in the first-person POV and this one is written from a third-person POV. This took some adjusting for me to get used to, as it referred to the characters from the third-person POV unless they were directly speaking. One of my absolute favorite parts of this book (and hopefully the entire series
Oh, my, this book was JUST what I needed at this time. In true Melissa Foster style A Little Bit Wicked delivered an exceptional, sexy and heart-warming friends to lovers romance. Foster creates swoon worthy heroes, but I have to say Justin Wicked is the cream of the crop. That man is so divine. He was not what I had expected based on the few encounters I had with him in previous books. A great friend and an even greater boyfriend. A confident male who is not afraid to go after what he wants. Her heroines are usually sassy, smart and caring and Chloe epitomised all these traits. Chloe and Justin were great as friends and they proved to be awesome as a couple. Their journey towards this new aspect of their relationship took one and a half year. Why? Chloe didn’t want to be involved with a biker. She saw bikers as being bad based on her experience, but she would learn that the Dark Knights were not the typical run-of-the-mill motorcycle gang. Despite their differences, they had a lot in common. They both had painful pasts, which they overcame to become strong individuals. They were artistic, and they shared a love for animals. Falling in love with them was both was as easy as 123. I loved seeing them together. My heart broke for them both when the stories of their past came to light. I enjoyed watching them as they navigated through their relationship. Slow burn, hot and romantic. They both had me fanning myself throughout the story. The friendships that developed and the family dynamics helped in driving the story. Love and laughter permeated the pages of the book which made for interesting moments. Conclusion/Recommendation I enjoyed this latest offering from Foster, and I am looking forward to the next book in the series. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
