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 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.

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!

OMG THIS BOOK IS SO HOT. GOT MY JUICES GOING. WINK WINK. OK 3 GREAT STORIES OF BEST FRIENDS AND LET ME TELL YOU YOU WILL BE GRABBING A TOY OR MAN WHICH EVER IS NEAREST TO YOU. THIS BOOK IS OFF THE CHARTS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY WOMEN OR MAN.

goooood really good real page turner for me this for me was steamy, sexy, wild, wicked and waton ....KEEPER

"Wild"
Abby has rebuilt her life after a nasty divorce from a cheating
husband. After having sworn off men for good, she knows where she is
going in life and what it will take to get it. Working with the two
hottest veterinarians in the state is a wonderful bonus. Now if only
she can keep her word to herself. She wants them both. Will she have
the courage to allow herself to enjoy what both of her bosses have
offered? Sex never sounded so good.

"Wicked"
Blaire is not a fan of commitment. She has lived her life the way she
wants and has been quite content. Minus the fact that she still has to
go to bed with the only man to drive her crazy. He knows all her
buttons to push and is not afraid to make her know he is alive by
pushing each button. Hard. Now her friends have given her no way out.
She will find out what she has been missing all these years. Can she
allow someone else to have control?

"Wanton"
Callie has fantasies that she just does not want to admit to out loud.
Not even to her best friends. The one that drives her craziest is
about the sexy guy who comes into her coffee shop every morning. Can
she share her dreams and find out just how far she can go? Or will she
live her life with her broken heart hanging over her head?

Wild, Wicked & Wanton is Jaci Burton at her best. Again. Ms. Burton
starts Wild, Wicked & Wanton with the feeling you have when you first
walk into a steam room. The sudden heat makes you weak in the knees
and you have to sit down to get comfortable. The steam takes over and
you just enjoy it. Three stories within one is how Ms. Burton set up
Wild, Wicked & Wanton. It starts with a friendly wager between three
friends who each end up living out the fantasies they have always
wanted to indulge in. Each friend ends up sleeping with whomever the
other two friends have chosen. And the friends choose well. And each
juicy detail is shared. I enjoyed Wild, Wicked & Wanton to the point I
have to Joyfully Recommend it and then cool off.

If you are looking for good romantic erotica, stop here, this is it. Ménage a trios, dominance, and voyeurism --- pick your poison, this is an all-inclusive romp in the hay bound to please the pickiest of erotica readers looking for a little substance to their stories. All the characters are likable, and the sizzling love scenes will make you feel like you are right there with them. Loved it from start to finish (pun intended)!

I have to say that I enjoy a good erotic read. I particularly like a good erotic read when it is well written. This work filled all of my expectations and then some. The premise of the book; three girls fulfilling their fantasies through a bet, almost put me off as this has been done to death. My friend went ahead and purchased a copy, read it and gave it to me. Bless my little friends heart..she done me right!
The author gives us plenty of romance, but the strongest point of the book is her ability to describe, and I do mean describe. You can actually feel yourself entering the part of the character you are reading about. I will be honest, I am not into men at all but this one got even me rather steamed up...hey, sex is sex and good sex is good no matter the make up of the participants. There were parts of the book that were of particular interest and a wonderful turn-on for me...if you know what I mean.

I loved this book and will certainly give it another read. My friend who gave me this book loves this book as I figured we might as well both have our toes curled...she appreciated it!

I was excited to read this book after reading the previous reviews and I was definitely not let down. The story of these 3 women is incredible. I was expecting some romance, and some good sex scenes - but this was WAY beyond that. As I read this book, I could very easily picture exactly where the scenes were taking place, what these people looked like and precisely what they were doing. It was incredible. Recommend this book to anyone needing a little spice to their evening reading material.

BFF's Abby, Blair and Callie make a bet that each of the women experiencing a weekend of sex that fulfills their most secret sexually fantasies. In turn each woman finds true love while experiencing the most wild, wicked and wanton nights of their lives...
This book is sooo super hot that not only does it get a big "O" from me but it's worth a second read. I almost didn't buy the book despite its excellent reviews because the whole premise of three girlfriends fulfilling their secret fantasy on a bet sounded corny and little lame to me. I'm happy to report that I was so wrong this book rocked!
