Asher has not been able to move on from the death of his wife and works long hours and loses himself in the Wicked Horse at night to try and numb the pain. When his new cleaning lady, Hannah, breaks a vase, Asher takes it upon himself to deal with the issue instead of Hannah's supervisor. Hannah begs Asher to let her keep her job to which Asher counters with a different offer for her to consider. He pays her to work for him exclusively and she is his at nights at the Wicked Horse. Hannah's one stipulation is that she has weekends off. Asher begins to feel the need for more of Hannah and tried to break her no weekend rule only to find out that the reason she has the no weekend rule is because of her daughter who was awarded to her cheating ex-husband. As Asher starts to put things in place to help Hannah he begins to realize that Hannah is actually helping him heal his own wounds.

Personally, for me, this book took a while to get through. While I enjoyed the time between Asher, Hannah and Hope but I just could not get invested in this book.

Wicked Knight is the fifth book in the Wicked Horse Vegas series which can be read as a standalone or as part of the Wicked Horse Vegas series and is written in Asher and Hannah’s points of view. I give Wicked Knight 3 stars.

*I received a free copy of [title] from [publisher] via Author. This has in no way influenced my voluntary review, which is honest and unbiased *Wicked Knight is the fifth book in the Wicked Horse Vegas series, and this series is still going strong. More than erotic romance, it is about dealing with the aftermath of a tough divorce as well. And also trusting another man to do right, when the one who was supposed to be everything only thought of himself.

Story:

I really enjoyed Wicked Knight, it was definitely hot, and had a little Cinderella / Pretty Woman feel to it. Mostly because Hannah was ready to do whatever it took to make sure her daughter would be with her, and that she would be safe being there. In the beginning, I didn't really enjoy Asher all that much, but that changed quickly. He was quirky, and he really wanted to find love. He didn't think he deserved it, though, and when I learned why that was, I could understand him very well.

Hannah had not only been burned by love, she had been scorched by it! Her ex husband was the worst man ever! And he managed to get full custody of their daughter - plus alimony, even if he earned much more money than Hannah - just to get back at Hannah for leaving him. Never mind the fact that he was cheating on her, he felt like their marriage falling apart was all about her.

Wicked Knight did feature several visits to The Wicked Horse, and man, those scenes were hot. I needed an electric fan to be able to continue reading, and my kindle was fuming at times ;) Bennett always manages to bring more to her erotic romance stories than the hotness, though. I loved both the character development and the overall story.

Writing style :

Wicked Knight is written in first person point of view, present tense, with many dialogues. And there are chapters from both Asher's and Hannah's perspectives.



Her fretful gaze slides to me. She bites down on her lower lip, fear filling her eyes. Not sure what it says, but it's sexy as hell to me. I want to fuck her more than I want to chastise her.

I bet you will. Those damn words have been playing in my head all day, despite the fact I keep telling myself I'm not interested in his proposition. Even though I am very much attracted to Asher Knight.
