A Little Bit Wicked is the first book in The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside series.
This is Justin and Chloe’s story. If you have read previous books (The Whiskeys) you will have seen Justin and Chloe mentioned in them, but this book is all about them.
Just is the adopted son of Reba and Rob Wicked. They are part of the Dark Knights bikers group.

Justin is interested in Chloe but she doesn’t want to know, her mother had been with a lot of bad boys and she associated him being a biker to being a bad boy so although he seemed to worship her she was having none of it.

I love Melissa Foster’s books, they all have the will they won’t they element to them but you know at the end true love will prevail and it will be a happily ever after, but all of the stories are so different from each other. I am surprised Melissa manages to make each one unique but she really does.

I liked both Justin and Chloe although I felt like kicking Chloe up the backside at times, girl just go with it!
Justin, a biker yes please, who knew bikers could be so hot!

Another great book from Melissa Foster, I have not read or listened to one I have not liked yet!

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 Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from the Author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to Lisa and Melissa for letting me take part in this tour and for my copy of this book. I LOVE Melissa's work and I have been waiting for Justin and Chloe's stories for so long!

We have met both Justin and Chloe in the previous Bayside series books but if you haven't read them it's not important as this is where their stories being and anything you missed is caught up here. I would highly recommend the Bayside (and Melissa's other stories) though as they are fantastic books.

Chloe Mallory is careful, conservative and independent. Chloe has spent her whole life protecting her sister Serena and her past is a real weight on her shoulders. It was so nice to see that weight lifted when she opened up to Justin. Chloe is an easy character to like and I could see myself becoming friends with her and the girls.

Justin, oh Justin Wicked. You intrigued me for so long but now you have my heart. This man is so damn romantic without even trying. He has worked through his past and he is everything you could ever need in a man. He's not perfect but he's damn near close.

This story is full of sweet moments that really tugged at my heartstrings. I absolutely loved joining the Wicked world and I CANNOT wait to read more of their stories!

The Dark Knights have rolled into Bayside in A Little Bit Wicked which is a wickedly sexy friends to lovers, opposites attract love story told in the third person point of view and is part of the large Love in Bloom world.

                             

Justin had a rough time growing up after his mother passed away and his father turned into a thief. Rob “Preacher” & Reba Wicked took Justin into their home, raised him as one of their own and taught him the true meaning of family. Chloe had a rough upbringing dealing with her mother and her revolving door of boyfriends as well as make sure her sister, Serena was safe. Justin has wanted Chloe since the day he saw her but Chloe has put him in the friend zone as she does not want to get involved with someone who looks likes they just walked out of her past. Justin is determined to prove to Chloe that he is not who she thinks he is and that they are meant to be together.

                             

Melissa Foster has come through again with another heartwarming, funny, big family romance. A Little Bit Wicked is the beginning of The Wickeds series but also interconnects with The Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor and the Bayside crew. I was so happy to see Justin and Chloe finally come together and get their HEA as it has been a long time coming. Whenever I heard Justin’s Dark Knight name, Maverick I kept hearing “Highway to the Danger Zone” in my head and had the urge to watch Top Gun, lol. As always I will now be patiently waiting for the next addition to Melissa Fosters Love in Bloom world!
