Swooning Over Books: BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY: Wicked Thing by: Angeline Kace

Synopsis: 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:

"The best laid scheme of Mice and Men oft go awry, and leave us nothing but grief and pain, for promised joy." ~ Robert Burns (To a Mouse)

Camryn has a plan. Not a list of dreams. Not a frivolous guideline for her life. A solid, concrete, unwavering plan; get a degree, begin a career, work her way up the corporate ladder with a respectable, honest, faithful man by her side. The thing about life is it never goes according to plan. When the world comes tumbling down around Camryn she finds that what she needs is to have a little fun. Let loose and enjoy her freedom. What better way to do that than in the arms of the campus player.

Dallas is a womanizing, tattoo covered, motorcycle riding bad boy. Jaded by a hurtful past he keeps everyone at arms length and would never be wiped by a woman. Dallas is a use 'em and leave 'em type of guy. That is until he sees Camryn shaking her ass at his fraternity's party. There is something about Camryn that calls to him. Her amazing body maybe what catches his attention, but it is her flirty fiery attitude that has him hook, line, and sinker.

Before either of them realizes their relationship develops into more than a one night stand. What do you do when you confess your love to someone to only be completely blown off? Is it possible to move past a damaged past to see what the future has to offer?

I absolutely love Dallas!! Holy hell! He is a sexy, muscular, bad boy with a soft, sensitive artistic center. I want to clutch him tightly and ride off into the sunset on the back of his motorcycle. I love that he loves Camryn so wholeheartedly. Camryn was also an amazing character. From afar she appears grounded and confident, but up close she is anything but.

The author added a nice touch tossing in Dirty Dancing. What girl doesn't love Baby and Johnny? But for me that movie and (I've had) The Time of My Life holds a lot of personal significance that totally solidified my love of this book.

I am Ms. Kace's newest fan and I look forward to Denton's story.

Happy Reading!!
