A Wicked Great Alpha!

I really need to back up and read Melissa Foster’s previous books because so many couples are mentioned that it was a little overwhelming at times. I remember a couple of them from books I’ve read but they all seem to be connected so I would like to know every else’s story now. I have been in a little bit of a reading funk with the last couple books so I am not sure if I just wasn’t in the mood for such a light romance or if the story really did have an unnecessary amount of fluff in it. I kept picturing this as a hallmark movie, sometimes there were some scenes that seemed way too sweet and made my eyes roll which isn’t my normal reaction… I like romance with drama but I also usually love the light carefree romances. I liked Justin and his Wicked family, all the brothers were hilarious! Justin was a great mix of alpha bad boy biker but also devoted and romantic, really he was perfect. I think most of my problem came from Chloe, she drove me crazy for her judgement. They were good friends but she wouldn’t date him because she wrongly judged him for being a biker, which how could they really have been friends if she honestly didn’t know anything about him or what all his family did for the community. I know she had trauma from her past that justified some of her issues but I could only here her go on about him being an unreliable biker so many times. I did like the little flair of trouble at the end… yeah, apparently I was really in the mood for some drama and turbulence but if you are in the mood for cute easy romance then this would be a good one for that.

Savannah Peachwood and Aiden Snow did a great job narrating. I always enjoy Savannah’s voice and Aiden had a deep growly voice that was absolutely perfect for Justin!

Friends to Lovers

Ahhh I’ve read some Bayside and some Whiskey’s, now I’m on to the Wicked’s! A Little Bit Wicked is a sweet, angsty, friends to lovers romance with all the feels! I loved every second of Justins’s dirty mouth and flirty ways. Chloe is his exact opposite. I think they fit together perfectly.

Chloe has always been her little sisters protector. She grew up seeing stuff no kid should have to, and those experiences drove her to be who she is today. They also have her trying to date straight laced men. Justin is the perfect friend, always there to lend a hand to get rid of them when they aren’t working out 😂. Too bad she has to keep telling herself she’s not interested in bikers. If only she would give in to his flirty banter and give him a chance, she’d be hella surprised!

Savannah and Aiden really brought this story to life! I think they matched Chloe and Justin perfectly!

5/5

I love how Melissa Foster integrates her secondary characters throughout her books. I feels like a nod to her fans and I enjoy it. A Little Bit Wicked is an emotional journey. Justin and Chloe's pasts are not pretty and has shaped the people they've become. I loved how Melissa Foster showed how healing is a process and the importance of a support system. I like that Chloe and Justin's relationship was strong and once Chloe got out of her own way and accepted a relationship with Justin they only strengthened each other. I like how the drama was mostly outside their relationship and how they dealt with it together. A Little Bit Wicked is a great start to this series and I look forward to falling in love with the rest of the characters and their dogs.

Favorite Quotes:
He didn't play games, he played for keeps
"You can't save me from the world, Justin." "I'll never stop trying"
A man who waits is a man worth waiting for.

I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.

HOT and MELTY

What a wicked ride!!!

If you've read Melissa Foster's' Bayside books, then you've Justin Wicked and Chole Mallery. I was SO excited it was finally their turn. They've spent months dancing around each other and it was about damn time! But now we also get to meet Justin's great big family, The Wickeds, cousins to The (oh so fabulous!) Whiskeys. Each one of them is a character in themself and adds so much dimension to this story.

This book has so much: a fabulous friends-to-more story, the beach, family drama, rescue pups, laughter, tears, and some moments that lead me to have quite the internal dialogue where I asked Melissa if she was trying to give me a heart attack. It's such an amazing story and I CANNOT WAIT for the rest of the series.

oh, and Aiden and Savannah....ON FIRE.....

Liked the story

But did not like when the female read the male parts for him and the other way around. I think I would have enjoyed the book more if I read it myself

Excellent story and Performsnce but…

Both readers are very talented - but it detracts when the performers play both the male and female leads. You have two people there already, so why not have them read each part! Especially dislike when the female does the male voice- after all, it’s the sexy male voice that adds so much to romance novels.
Other than that, the author knows how to spin a story, unveiling the multiple layers of character building that is lacking in many romances. Justin and Chloe ate two of my favorite characters ever. And their fears are believable and not over the top. Therapists aren’t eschewed either, and add dimension to the story. Thx for a beautiful ride, literally, puns intended!

Too many characters in chptrs 1&2

Great book but ~ 40 characters introduced in first two chapters. I had to diagram it out just to follow the story.

Wicked is good

I love how this author gives us some lessons while giving us a heart warming story that heats the sheets too. We have Justin Wicket and Chloe Mallery who both had bad childhoods. They have gone on to do good for their community but in different ways. Chloe has been attracted to Justin, aka Maverick, for a long time but had a misjudgment about who he was because he was a biker and wore the bad boy persona. She learns looks can be deceiving and not to judge a book by its cover.

This book touches on some sensitive subjects and does so with grace. There is a lesson in this story and I loved listening to Justin and Chloe's love story.

Savannah Peachwood and Aiden Snow narrate this book and do a great job. Savannah brought Chloe's sweet naïve personality and Aiden was Justin with his sexy growly voice. Great job.

I love it and highly recommend it.

Justin and Chloe

Audiobook Review: As with all of Melissa Foster's books, I read this one before I listened to it. I LOVED reading Justin and Chloe's story but listening to it was even better. The narrators brought the emotions to life, gave voice to the characters, and made the story seem even more real. The dual narrators are perfect together. Savannah Peachwood had the perfect sweet, sexy, and loving voice for Chloe. Aiden Snow, a favorite narrator of mine, was tough, rough, and full of love just as Justin is.

eBook Review: The Wicked’s start a new family but they are not new to the Love in Bloom Series. They have made appearances in other books and are now getting the HEA’s they deserve. I am thrilled that Melissa started with Justin. He has been sniffing around Chloe since the first time the reader was introduced to him and it was time for him to stop sniffing and get to action.

I loved how much these two connected. It was not just physical. There were conversations, discussions about life, and fun outside of the bedroom. Now, I have to say that the heat in the bedroom was out of this world and I expected it to be. A Black Knight and the “Uptown Girl” must be explosive when they come together.

Of course, I have to mention the friendships. The girls have Chloe’s back, but they also know when they have to give her gentle shoves in the direction of the only man for her. The Wicked brothers will protect each other no matter what but they also understand that sometimes a man needs a little help getting out of his own way.


Whether A Little Bit Wicked is where you start reading Melissa Foster or you have been a fan for a while, the Wicked family is one that you will want more of.

UGH!!!!

I really wanted to like this story, but it was just hard. I love Savannah Peachwood! She did great, however, the male narrator was really hard to handle. He really didn't develop the characters so it was hard to get into the story when his parts all sounded the same. I just like it when the narrators' voice changes from character to character, so you feel more connected to the charecters. The overall story was good but it seemed to drag on, I feel like it could have ended sooner and some of the middle stuff could have been cut out. I had to stop listening with 2 hours left because it just seemed like the same thing kept happening over and over with few changes.
