His Wicked Ways (The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside, #5)
Melissa Foster
Blaine Wicked is used to women doing as he says in and out of the bedroom. Find out happens when he falls for the one woman who won't submit to his wicked ways in the newest insanely sexy, deeply emotional, and laugh-out-loud funny standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. Blaine Wicked can spot trouble a mile away. As the eldest of five and raised in a Dark Knights biker family, he has always been a protector. Rescuing a stripper from a bad situation comes with the territory, regardless of the hell the mouthy, slightly awkward, and seriously hot leggy blonde gives him for it. She’s far too innocent to bend to his wicked ways, but the more he learns about her, the harder it is for him to walk away. Forensic scientist Reese Wilder never imagined herself as the entertainment at a bachelor party, but she’d do anything to keep food on the table for her teenage sister. With their mess of a mother in rehab—Third time’s a charm, right?—Reese is stuck paying off their mother’s debt to a dealer and trying to make ends meet. Reese has had it rough, and she knows better than to rely on anyone for help, much less a pushy biker with piercing blue eyes who probably has dozens of women at his beck and call. The more flames Reese throws, the more determined Blaine is to walk through them. The closer he gets, the hotter they burn—and the more curious she becomes. But Blaine Wicked has the power to torch Reese’s walls to embers, and with her sister’s well-being at stake, that’s a risk she can’t afford to take. About The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven’t met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. These men are wickedly alpha and intensely loyal, but they are not alphaholes. *** Want more WICKED sexy love stories?

I devoured this book. It started out quite angsty; Reese is doing all she can to raise her teenage sister while their mom is in rehab. Actually, Reese has been taking care of her little sister since she was born when Reese was only about 10 years old. Their mom is a piece of work who never showed love or affection to her kids. By chance, Blaine is there when Reese gets into a sticky situation and his protective instincts come out. Reese has so many walls up and is so used to not having anyone to rely on, the beginning of this story is a battle of Blaine trying to help Reese and Colette, and Reese not trusting his motives.
It’s not that Reese’s problems go away just because Blaine is in her life, but once she accepts the help being offered and starts to trust there are good people in the world things open up for her. The Wickeds and the rest of the Dark Knights take Reese and her sister under their wing while also being careful to give them the space and freedom they are used to having. And while it seems all the problems would be Reese’s, Blaine has his own walls that need deconstructing.
There is a ton of chemistry between Blaine and Reese and once he gets to spend time with Colette, they develop their own special relationship. He’s a true brother to her and gives her the support she needs. He also helps Reese see her relationship with her sister with fresh eyes. That was needed as my only issue with Reese was how she seemed to have blinders on about what her sister needed. She was so busy trying to get them by day to day that she didn’t see she was pushing Colette away.
Since I already love this author and have read most of her books, I knew she would find a way to make me love Blaine. I didn’t realize how much I’d love him, though. As the oldest brother and cousin, he’s been a bit overbearing throughout this series. Reese understands him in a way nobody else does and it’s beautiful what they build together
