A Little Bit Wicked Book Review and Giveaway


A captivatingly funny and deeply emotional new standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. When the Dark Knights at Bayside and the cast of Bayside Summers collide, sparks fly, and trouble—or maybe love—is not far behind.

Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven’t met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. Their stories are told in the same loving, passionate voice readers have come to adore from Melissa. Some of the Wickeds’ love stories will be hilariously fun, others will tear at your heartstrings with injections of humor, but they will all leave you wishing you could climb between the pages and join them!

In A LITTLE BIT WICKED… 
What do a cocky biker and a businesswoman who has sworn off dating bad boys have in common? According to Chloe Mallery, not much.

Justin came into the Wicked family after a harsh upbringing by a thieving father. He’s gone through a lot to become a true Wicked, and he’s made them proud. Now he’s ready to show the woman he loves exactly what type of man he is. But Chloe Mallery has worked hard to move past her difficult upbringing, and she’s wary of getting involved with a man who looks like he’s walked right out of it. When tragedy strikes, will their trying pasts draw them together, or will Justin’s protective nature be too much for Chloe’s independent heart to accept?

My thoughts:

Justin and Chloe are my new favorite couple! They both have had very rocky pasts, and Chloe has sworn off bad boys. But Justin won't let that get in his way, as he's been looking at Chloe for over a year. Chloe is steering very clear of Justin because of his biker ways, and his past with her friend.

When Chloe sees Justin post-fight, she sees him in a new light and lets him into her life and her heart. Justin has a rugged exterior that hides a heart a mile wide, and his surprises and care for Chloe are swoon-worthy!

I absolutely adore these two, and the way that they complete each other gives everyone hope for finding the right person for them.

The Legend of Gasparilla and His Treasure Book Review


The Legend of Gasparilla and His Treasure (Matthew Connor Adventure series #3)


The beam of his flashlight bounces off the walls but does little to brighten the hidden room he just found. In the corner is a centuries-old desk. His heart hammering, he walks over to it and opens the top drawer. What he finds inside will change his future—and the world’s—forever.

For centuries, the existence of Spanish pirate José Gaspar has been relegated to legend, but archaeologist and adventurer Matthew Connor and his two best friends may have just found reason to believe the buccaneer truly existed. They’re in Washington, DC, to mark the opening of an exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History when a mysterious stranger turns up claiming he may hold the key to the mythical pirate’s treasure and invites them to join in his quest to find it.

Rumored to have sailed and plundered the Gulf of Mexico and the Spanish Main during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Gaspar would have amassed a vast fortune. But with only the stranger’s word and a token of proof, Matthew is intrigued but not sold—until it becomes personal. There’s an interested third party, and they’re willing to kill for the pirate’s bounty.

What ensues is a globe-trotting adventure that will take Matthew and his friends across the world and back again. Danger lurks around every corner as does betrayal, suspicion, and murder. Can anyone be trusted, and will they survive long enough to find out?

My thoughts:
 
This is yet another amazing story from Carolyn Arnold! Matthew, Cal and Robyn are settling back into their normal lives after their last adventure, and Matthew is writing a book about their treasure hunting. 

A man with a secret approaches them, talking about a century old diary and pirate treasure. Matthew's interest is piqued, but the man vanishes, only to return that night, being chased by some goons with guns. The trio are forced to run for their lives and try to find the treasure before their biggest enemy can snatch the treasure and their lives from them.

This story is wonderfully fast-paced, and will keep you up at night, begging to be finished! It has it all... treasure hunting, intrigue, lust, friendship, near death experiences, and lots more. While this is the third in the series, it is readable as a stand alone book (although I definitely recommend going back and reading them all! You won't regret it).
 
The Legend of Gasparilla and His Treasure is a gripping, heart-pounding action adventure that’s akin to a modern-day Indiana Jones story. It’s light on history and heavy on action, suspense, and intrigue. Strap yourself in for a wild ride and buy this international bestselling book today!
