WICKED SEXY LIAR is the fourth, and final, book in the
Wild Seasons,
series by Christina Lauren. Told in both London and Luke's
point of views.
This book can be read by itself, but I recommend reading the
rest of the series. Starting from the beginning will allow
the reader to be introduced to this dynamic group of friends
that keeps growing with each book in the series.
In WICKED SEXY LIAR, London Hughes is content with her single
life after college of surfing by day, and bartending by
night. London is new to the trio of friends Mia, Harlow,
and Lola, from the previous three books. Lola and London had
attended the same college and
ended up becoming fast friends and eventual roommates.
Having been hurt before, London is not one to easily trust.
Therefore, she keeps guys at an arms length and does not allow
herself to love or have any sort of relationship with anyone.
When a gorgeous guy comes up to her and orders a drink, all
London's warning bells go off, but she can't help the
easiness of their conversation nor the attraction she has
for him.
Luke Sutter is a bit of a lady's man -- a player. At least
he has been since he and Mia broke up after her accident.
However, Luke is not your typical player. He has a sweet
and charming side that comes out when he is with London. As
much as she tries, London can not deny the attraction she
had to Luke and they fall into bed together. They have a
great chemistry without any of the weird morning after
awkwardness. That is until London realizes that Luke was
Mia's ex-boyfriend. Being the newest person to join this
group of friends and feeling like she just broke some kind
of friend code, London calls Mia and tells her what happened
between her and Luke so that Mia hears it from her and not
someone else. That action alone proves a lot about a
person. When Mia gives London her blessing and desire for
nothing but happiness for them both, London still feels like
she can't have Luke.
As much as London tries to deny that it's just attraction or
lust between them, it's not. Before long, she finally
allows herself to open up and give her trust to
someone. Where that will take her, she has no idea.
London and Luke's book had me laughing and smiling. Their
story was fun, sweet, and steamy. Luke shows London who he
really is as a person, as they teach each other what it is
to trust and love someone again. Their progression from a
one night hook up to a full relationship was heartwarming.
Luke and London were wonderful together, and this book is
also light on the drama, quick on the banter, and blends
perfectly with both the characters personalities.
I have enjoyed every book I have read so far from co-authors
Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. The series is a sweet,
sexy, and super entertaining that follow three friends and
meet super hot guys and get married in Vegas. When all but
one couple annul their marriages, the group of friends
starts getting larger. Wicked Sexy Liar is another
extension of that. This is a series that I highly recommend
reading!
When three college besties meet three hot guys in Vegas,
anything can—and does—happen. Book Four in the New York
Times Wild Seasons series that began with Sweet
Filthy Boy (the Romantic Times book of the year
that Sylvia Day called “a sexy, sweet treasure of a story”),
Dirty Rowdy Thing, and Dark Wild Night.
For two people ambivalent about dating and love, they
sure get naked around each other an awful lot . . .
London Hughes is very content to surf daily, tend
bar, hang out with her group of friends, and slowly orient
herself in the years after college. Everything’s going great
and according to the non-plan.
But when a wave knocks her for a loop one morning, then Luke
Sutter’s flirtatious smile knocks her for another that
evening, she veers slightly off course…and into his path.
Sure, he’s a total player, but the Why not—it’s only one
night is a persistent voice in her ear.
For his part, Luke’s been on hookup autopilot for so long
that he rarely ever pauses to consider what he’s doing. But
after an amazing time with London, he realizes that he
hasn’t been moving on from a devastating heartbreak so much
as he’s been drifting to wherever—and whomever—the
current takes him. With London he wants more.
Every relationship involves two people…plus their pasts. And
as much as she enjoys her fling with Luke, when London
learns about his past—more specifically, who’s in
it—everything becomes the brand of complicated she strives
to avoid. It’s up to Luke then to change some things in
order to try and ensure he’s not something she’ll outright
avoid as well.
