WICKED FOR YOU is a book that will throw you into Axel and Mystery's world and not let you go, and then manages to leave you wanting more. Author Shayla Black does wicked like few other authors can, and the steam level in this book is a sauna. This erotic romance suspense book is filled with harrowing action, a number of mysteries to solve including the death of Mystery's mother, with the normal hits of confusion and heartbreak, as well as the everyday life of a tabloid child. I found it fascinating that Axel was able to keep Mystery motivated and calm while getting her to safety after her kidnapping. He was gentle or tough or a shoulder to cry on, whatever she needed to get the job done, but with her so young he walks away but he still remembers her.
Don't get me wrong: Mystery was one tough young lady during that time and grew stronger as she got older. She had some trust issues when it came to men, probably due to her father's "Casanova" reputation. Not exactly a good role model, but her issues almost gets her killed. You will have to read this book to find out what happens -- and what the true mystery is that has her running for her life. If you are looking for a sexy dominant hero, a sweet submissive heroine with a solid spine out of the bedroom, an intriguing rival for her heart, love and steamy sex, then WICKED FOR YOU is a book you will want to get your hands on.
