Book Obsessed Reviews: Wild, Wicked, & Wanton, September 27, 2010
This review is from: Wild, Wicked, & Wanton (Berkley Heat) (Mass Market Paperback)
Wild: Abby has divorced her cheating husband and is looking forward to moving on. She and her friends decide to make this bet about having one wild, wicked, and wanton weekend with the man/men of the others choosing. Abby's friends, Blair and Callie, have chosen Mike and Seth as Abby's weekend bed partners. They have a very wild weekend fulfilling all of Abby's fantasies. This novella is a hot and steamy read, but then again all three of them are. Then the unexpected happens and two of the three fall in love.
Wicked: Blair has been in love with Rand since she was old enough to know the difference between a boy and a girl. But she has been fighting it the entire time due to his dominant ways. Having seen her mother being controlled in every aspect of her life, Blair wants nothing to do with a man who is dominate. All that changes when her friends chose Rand for Blair's wicked weekend. Of course Blair objects to their choice and tries to get them to pick anyone but him. But after spending one night with him, she realizes that she no longer can fight the love she has for him and runs away scared. But Rand isn't going to let her get away that easy.
Wanton: Callie has been widowed for five years and crushing on a customer at her coffee shop for a year and half. Callie believes that he would never notice her due to the fact that he's a lawyer and she runs a coffee shop, and that she's biracial and he's white. So when Jack shows interest she is more than a little surprised. But Callie has a dark secret that not even her two best friends know about. Callie likes to watch. And she's an exhibitionist. After her wanton weekend with Jack, she feels she must end things there due to his career. He has a public image to upkeep and her naughty ways could bring it all crashing down. But Jack has other plans for Callie.
Of the three novels, I have to say that I enjoyed Wicked the most, and Wanton the least. Overall this did end up being a very very steamy read!

This One WAS Good, February 1, 2009
This review is from: Wild, Wicked, & Wanton (Berkley Heat) (Mass Market Paperback)
This was three related stories between 3 best friends. They had great lead-up, good believeable stories with hot characters, and great scenes. I truly enjoyed this one as much as the other reviewers.

This review is from: Wild, Wicked, & Wanton (Berkley Heat) (Mass Market Paperback)
Best friends Abby, Blair and Callie make a bet that culminates in each of the women experiencing a night of lusty kink and fulfilling their most secret sexually fantasies. But something happens that none of the women expect - each woman finds true love while experiencing the most wild, wicked and wanton nights of their lives...
Abby never suspected that the two drop-dead gorgeous veterinarians she works for have been secretly lusting after her for the last year. They are determined to have her - no matter what they have to do. Seth & Mike set Abby's senses reeling, and together they deliver an erotic experience she'll never forget.
Blair is a pro at maintaining control in all of her relationships - that's why she's studiously avoided any involvement with Rand, a man who demands control she finds her body all too willing to give him even while her mind protests. But Rand is not the kind of man who takes no for an answer...
Widowed Callie has long mourned her husband, and focused her life on her friends and her thriving coffee shop. She never expected to love again, and she certainly never expected the hunky lawyer who frequents her little store to sweep her off her feet. When they find they share voyeuristic and exhibitionist tendencies, passion ignites!
I have been purchasing Jaci Burton's books for a while, but somehow not yet found time to read any of those purchases, although they were high up in my to be read pile. Finally I received one of this popular author's books for review, which gave me an excellent reason to prioritize Wild, Wicked & Wanton in my reading list. All I can say now is: WOW! Have I been missing out or what??? I had a strong suspicion I was going to love Jaci Burton's work, based on excerpts I have read from her stories and recommendations from friends who praise her novels and now those suspicions are decidedly confirmed! Upon finishing this book, I proceeded to various message boards and reading groups I am a member of and posted how much I enjoyed Wild, Wicked & Wanton, and I will continue singing the praises of this wonderful book to anyone who will listen to me!
Technically, this book would be considered an anthology, as each woman's story is complete in and of themselves. But Burton has tied the three tales together with an overall storyline to bind them, allowing each of the women to appear as supporting characters in the other's tales. Left to their own devices, neither Abby, Blair, nor Callie would have pursued these romances, but a clever little bet forces each to face their true desires, allowing romance to blossom.
I loved each of the romances, and found something in each heroine that I could personally identify with, drawing more empathy from me for each story. With sexy scenes hot enough to burn your fingertips while turning the pages, Wild, Wicked and Wanton more than lives up to its libidinous name, but Burton deviously infuses her latest book with a hefty dose of sweetness that will melt your heart more surely than even the most sizzling of love scenes can.
I will be hitting my own book cases soon to read the other Jaci Burton titles I currently own, which should keep me busy while I wait for Amazon to ship those I haven't already purchased. This is definitely a new favorite author for me!
