Wicked Secret (Wicked Horse Vegas, Book #8) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: May 26, 2020
Synopsis:
Those that truly know August Greenfield, will tell you that I live my life to the fullest. Work hard as part of the team at Jameson Force Security but play just as hard at The Wicked Horse Vegas. I have no regrets about my life.
Well, maybe just one.
Leighton Hale was my first love and the woman I wanted to spend my life with, but one day she was just gone. Vanished without a trace. Even my extensive contacts as part of the team at Jameson left me empty-handed in my search for answers. My single remorse is never being able to find out what happened to her, because no matter how difficult the truth may be, it can’t be as bad as never knowing at all.
Ten years later, a knock on my front door brings me face-to-face with the woman I thought I’d never see again and nothing in my life could have prepared me for the secrets she holds.
***4 Stars***
Another book set in the Wicked Horse Vegas world mixed with the Jameson Force Security world? Umm….Yes, please! And this baby served up an extremely big dose of smexynes, heart and got me a tinsy bit closer to a certain JSF book *cough* Ghost *cough*
I kind of adored Leighton. This woman has been put through way more than anyone should be put through in her short lifetime, but she’s come out of it with compassion, heart and a stubborn strength that I couldn’t help but love and admire. August...I loved the man, I did, because he had this code of honor that came through in his every action...but...and I hate this ‘but’ because I did understand where he was coming from...but it had a tendency to make him blind to how another would react to the same situation.
Leighton and August’s second chance journey pulled at my heartstrings and frustrated the hell out of me in equal measure. I definitely wanted them to work everything out because it was obvious they were each other's everything, but they definitely had issues/assumptions they wouldn’t, not couldn’t, but wouldn’t let go of. Thankfully they do get their reality checks, which I was happy about, but I also feel that it was a bit rushed (even though the crazy going on around them did warrant a quick-ish resolution).
This installment of the WHV is very character driven, which I had no problem with since it really was about Leighton and August getting their second chance, but it is also the book that is for those of us who are DYING for Code Name: Ghost in the JSF series and I thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait to experience all that Ghost has to offer.
