I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Melissa Foster has mastered the art of penning steamy and heart-warming romances. An art which she aptly reflected in her latest release, His Wicked Ways. This is book 5 in The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside series. Like all her books, it can be read as a stand alone.

His Wicked Ways gives us Blaine Wicked, the eldest and most protective one of all the Wicked siblings. Blaine is commitment shy and one ventured deeper into the story the reason is made clear. So when he rescued Reese Wilder from a treacherous situation, the last thing he expected was to fall head over heels for her.

Reese has a lot on her plate, one of which involves taking care of her fifteen-year-old sister. Her need to make extra money led to a situation, where she needed rescuing. Now, when Blaine learned the reason for her being in such a situation, he amped up his mission to help and protect her, despite her many objections.




"He’s like a boomerang. No matter how many times I tried to send him away, he kept coming back."



This book was a delight to read. Once again, Foster delivered a story with which readers can relate. A story of love, healing, family friendships and overcoming adversity. This story shows that family doesn't necessarily consist of persons related to each other. Instead, it's made of a group of people offering support and love. A fact Reese learnt when the Wicked embraced her and her teenage sister, Colette.

Of all the Wicked brothers, Blaine is the most overprotective. When it comes to protecting those he loves, he's rather zealous. To the point that one may consider it overbearing. Reese is a great heroine. Strong, determined, independent, caring and stubborn. She had a hard time accepting Blaine's help due to her issues of trust. Besides, men don't normally offer to help without an ulterior motive. She would learn in due time that Blaine's actions were coming from a place of honesty, integrity and compassion.

"He’d burn down the world for the people he loves."



Ah! The romance will have readers swooning. Blaine claims he's not a romantic, but I beg to differ. The way he treats Reese belies that statement. The things he did for her, literally had me swooning. He may be a badass biker, but when he loves, he loves hard. It warmed my heart to see how he accepted Colette like his own sibling, snarky behaviour and all.

Whenever one picks up one of Melissa's books, one can expect not only a wonderful romance, but also humour and fun times with family and friends. She did not disappoint in His Wicked Ways. 

His wicked Ways is another great addition to this awesome series, and one which I highly recommend for romance readers.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
