  SACRED by S.L. Scott

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend

Wow!
After meeting Cruise in the Savage and Savior books, I had a feeling his story would be interesting, but I never imagined I would genuinely like him as much as I did!
Sacred let us get to know the man behind the friend we’ve seen in the prior books and we start to understand that what we’ve seen to date is more of a shell he uses to protect himself than anything else.
Ms Scott has created characters that are easy to like and easy to become invested in - I was supposed to be getting ready for company and instead was sneaking chapters because I JUST had to know what came next.
Cruise and Clara and fabulous together and I loved their journey, even if it wasn’t a smooth one.
This is technically a standalone, but it works much better if you have read Savage and Savior and have the back story- the need to have read the other books to fully appreciate Cruise is the only reason this is not a 4.5 to 5 star book.

Wicked Envy by Sawyer Bennett

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend

This is a slightly different take on the Wicked Horse Vegas Books, in that the couple doesn’t meet at the club, but it is still very much a Wicked Horse Book.
Dane and Avril (and Andrew) have been friends since college. A bad breakup leads Avril to visit the club and that changes everything for these three.
All of the characters are easy to like and root for them to find a happy ending. Their relationship is well written and Ms Bennett does an excellent job with their dynamic.
It’s was interesting to read a Wicked Horse book were friendship played as large or larger part than tha the physical relationship.
A complete standalone, this is an excellent addition to the series and leaves you hoping for more.

Scored by Sloane Howell

3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time

This was a cute, fun read.
Matt and Kelsey are characters that first appeared in Bossed, but come into their own here. Their relationship centers around the physical, but there are several touching emotional moments as well.
The author’s style seems to allude to the relationship building vs letting the reader see it, but it works for these characters.
My only complaint comes toward the end of the book. There is a conversation between Matt and Kelsey that alludes to her feelings about something, but the issue had never been addressed earlier in the book. It worked for the conclusion of the story, but seemed a little awkward at the time.
Overall, this was an entertaining read and a perfect escape story.
