How can a virgin seeking happily ever after with a hot pop star who has a penchant for threesomes win her fantasy man? Kimber Edgington desperately needs a plan to convince Jesse McCall, who's been her friend and secret crush since they spent a summer together as teenagers, that they are meant for each other. But all the tabloid stories about his sexual escapades make her feel oh so inadequate.
Determined to prove she's woman enough for Jesse, Kimber turns to bodyguard Deke Trenton for sexual education. Bold and brash, Deke warns Kimber that playing with him is playing with fire. But he can't bear to imagine the innocent beauty in someone else's arms. So Deke and his super sexy cousin, Luc, take Kimber under their wings and dangerously close to the edge of ecstasy. Though she's saved herself for Jesse, Kimber soon learns he's not the man adept at stroking her aching, endless need. That's Deke, and he can't resist when Kimber begs for more—and more . . .

"Much better story than Wicked Ties. This plot kept me interested beyond the physical aspects, though those were just as intriging. I didn't even realize Deke was the same guy in the menage with Morgan and Jack. Luc was a great character, especially as a roommate/sex buddy because he was so different than Deke. I felt bad when Kimber found out that she was never pregnant and for Luc. I am glad that Deke didn't stick with the menage because he was scarred that she would kill herself or something. I am so glad that she didn't stay with the popstar for very long because he was a head case, case in point, his manage tried to kill her. I wasn't sure I was going to continue on with this series becasue the first one didn't really do much for me, but after reading this story I am looking forward to the next."

Hot sex scenes, a strong yet innocent heroine, two devastatingly sexy heroes and enough danger, intrigue and tragic pasts to keep the pages turning.
— Romantic Times" Wow this book is hot. But that is not all it has going for it. The author creates an amazing story with suspense, romance and fun all twisted into make a great read. "
— Lisa, 2/16/2014" Been trapped in this summer, steamy romance phase where I can feel my brain cells disappearing... "

— Dia, 1/23/2014" I really, really loved it!! Definitely a 4.5 star - I couldn't put it down! I wanted to read this story about Deke because I loved him in Wicked Ties. He was a nicer character in Wicked Ties but then, he wasn't dealing with all of his crazy feelings for Kimber in that book either. :) I think this was the first time that I really identified with the hero for all that he was going through instead of just wishing he would 'get over himself' and his stupid hang ups. There was a lot going on through out the story but Shayla brought it all together nicely. Way to go Shayla! Thank you for this excellent novel and I can't wait to read Delicious! "

— âƒ, 12/18/2013" I'm giving this 4 out of 5 stars because it held my interest and the sex scenes were awesomely HOT. While the storyline and plot "twists" are far from original, I think Black know how to create enough interest to build these characters. I will definitely keep reading the Wicked series. "
— Angie, 12/11/2013" I really really liked this book. I knew who would end up together but figuring out how was the fun part. "
— Katrina, 11/29/2013" I enjoyed this book because it was ridiculous and I just went with that. If you were trying to read it as a "serious" romance... well, just don't try. "
— Kami, 10/28/2013" It was good and i liked it but liked the first one better!! :) on to three cant wait. "
