Wicked Thing by Angeline Kace
September 2013
BOOK SUMMARY:
Carmyn Rafferty witnessed the aftermath of her mother's affair. She learned at a young age not to trust anyone. Especially not your spouse. So she's planned. She's planned every detail of her life: who her husband will be, what their careers will be, what their lives will be like. All to avoid the pain of infidelity.
Dallas Brown lives a life all his own. He doesn't do relationships, he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him, and he doesn't live up to anyone's expectations but his own.
When Carmyn's fiancé cheats on her, it sends her into a whirlwind of one-night stands with the most infamous player on campus. She can't seem to stay away from this tough guy and his dangerous motorcycle. Everything about him is the complete opposite of who she'd planned to fall in love with: tattoos, dark stubble along his jawline, and hair that brushes his shoulders.
As Dallas and Carmyn begin to fall deeper and deeper into each other, they learn that love can truly be a wicked, wicked thing.

Review:
I loved how real this story felt. It wasn't the most dramatic or emotional or suspenseful, but sometimes it is just so comforting to read a book that is just enjoyable for being what it is. Carmyn (who in my head was Camryn until about halfway in - I don't know why) had a rough few years that get rougher when she finds her almost-fiance to be cheating on her. Dallas has always watched Carmyn from afar, and isn't going to let her newly single-status stay that way for long. I expected more angst from how it all began, but I was not expecting the incredibly sweet courtship from "bad boy" Dallas that we got. It was so refreshing to read, and I look forward to Denton's story next.
Wicked Thing: 3.5/5 stars
Cover: 2/5 stars (it's not that I didn't like the cover, I just don't picture Carmyn and Dallas to look anything like those people!)
Note: I received a copy of Wicked Thing in exchange of this honest review.
