At the age of 19, Mystery Mullins was kidnapped as she left a nightclub. After being missing for days, Mystery is rescued by Axel Dillon, the lone survivor of a team of men hired by her father. Her rescue from Death Valley was not an easy one, and Mystery learned a lot about herself during that time. When Axel returned her to her father and her life in the spotlight, she was more than grateful: she was in love. However, Axel made it perfectly clear she was too young for his lifestyle.
Six and a half years later, Mystery is grown. Since her kidnapping, she has moved on in life. She no longer had nightmares. She finished college, and had written three books. Mystery learned self-defense, took up yoga, and began to live with purpose. She succeeded at everything she attempted, except her love life. She has always been stuck on Axel.
Disguised in a wig, makeup, and colored contacts, she propositions in a bar him with sex, and he takes her home. Their time together is explosive and intense, and Mystery disappears before Axel can question her.
Axel Dillon cannot believe that the woman in his bed has left, which has him even more intrigued with her. He knows she is not who she claimed to be or the type of woman to just pick up anyone for sex. So when he finds out that she isn't a stranger to him, he calls in a favor to get her room number and pay her a visit. However, when he arrives, she shows him a photo left in her room.
Axel's first instinct is to protect Mystery. After securing her at Club Dominion, the local BDSM club, Axel starts digging into Mystery's past as well as her mother's death. He believes that they are both connected in some way. However, Mystery is still determined to visit her Aunt to collect some of the things her mother had left to her. But having Mystery in the club has Axel wondering just how perfect she would fit into the role of his submissive.
When Mystery takes off again, Axel goes after her. Can he explain just how much she means to him, or are they doomed from ever finding love due to their parents mistakes?
I absolutely love Shayla Black's Wicked Lovers series and this one was no exception. Shayla Black can write a damn sexy romance! Mystery is a strong young female who took a tragic event in her life and used it to better herself. In the beginning, we see how lost she was, and with some encouragement, became a grown woman who could take care of herself. When Mystery and Axel met, their attraction was immediate. When they come back into each other's lives again, their love had not diminished because of time or distance.
WICKED FOR YOU is the tenth book in Shayla Black's Wicked Lovers series. This series does not have to be read in order. Although the characters all appear throughout the series, each book is focused on a particular couple. WICKED FOR YOU is a little more tame than some of the others in this series, but in no way does that take away from the book itself. Once you read one book in this series, you will soon be hunting them all down. They are that addicting! Shayla Black will always be one of my favorite authors.
Ever since he rescued her from a dangerous kidnapper,
Mystery Mullins has wanted Axel Dillon. When he returned her
to her Hollywood father and tabloid life, she was
grateful…and a little in love. Mystery wasn’t ready to let
Axel go, even after the soldier gently turned her away
because, at nineteen, she was too young.
Now, six years later, Mystery is grown, with a flourishing
career and a full life—but she’s still stuck on Axel.
Disguised, she propositions him in a bar, and the night they
spend together is beyond her wildest dreams. Mystery steels
herself to walk away—except the sheets are barely cold when
her past comes back to haunt her.
Once he realizes Mystery isn’t the stranger he thought, Axel
is incensed and intrigued. But when it’s clear she’s in
danger, he doesn’t hesitate to become her protector—and her
lover—again. And as the two uncover a secret someone is
willing to kill for, Axel is determined to claim Mystery’s
heart before a murderer silences her for good.
