I found this review a while ago and never shared. Thought I’d just remind you all that the book is out there. Y’know, in case you haven’t bought it yet. *grin*
Title: Wicked
Author: Sasha White
Reviewer: Claudia Orpik
Rating: 5 Stars
Heat level: O
Karl Dawson is a very successful attorney by day. At night, he frequents The Dungeon, an underground BDSM establishment, where he lacks for nothing, having subs throw themselves at his feet. One day at work, he spies a lovely piece of humanity working under his desk. Lara comes up for air and challenges his prowess. She tells him she’s “willing to do anything once”. What will her reaction be when Karl tells her he’s a Dom and he’s ready to take her for the ride of her life? Will Karl exchange his playboy ways and establish an exclusive relationship with Lara?
My first thought after reading Wicked was to immediately rush to the nearest bookseller and buy the others in this series. Karl feels that deep down, Lara is a natural-born submissive. He takes her on a journey to discover her inner self. This journey takes them to unsuspected heights, exploring not only sexual but emotional boundaries. Karl is the perfect Dom as he takes over the sexual reins, giving Lara what he feels she needs, often leaving her wanting. Ms. White is the mistress of sexual tension; I often felt like Lara- sexually frustrated! Although Lara gives up sexual control, she definitely stands her ground outside of their lovemaking. Karl has definitely met his match with Lara. She’s such a wickedly, loveable, daring heroine, willing to try anything, even participating in a sex act with another woman. As an added treat, Ms. White brilliantly incorporates another couple’s story into Wicked. Peter and Graham are Lara’s self-appointed protectors. They know all about bad boy Karl, and are determined that Lara will not suffer from a broken heart. I absolutely adored this committed gay couple who suffered from growing pains. I am new to Ms. White’s writing but not for long. Damn you, Ms. White, you have compelled me to read more books by you!
Thank You, Claudia. I hope you enjoy them ALL!*grin*
