Wicked Wedding

WICKED WEDDING by Sawyer Bennett is the fourth instalment in the multi-authored contemporary, adult LEFT AT THE ALTAR erotic, romance novella series, and a stand alone in the author’s Wicked Horse Vegas series focusing on the members of an exclusive $ex club in Las Vegas. This is microbiologist and scientist Andrew Collings, and dentist Brynne Adams’ story line. Andrew, Dane and Avril were first introduced in Sawyer Bennett’s WICKED ENVY. You do not have to have read Wicked Envy to follow or understand Wicked Wedding. Told from dual first person perspectives (Andrew and Brynne) WICKED WEDDING follows the quick building relationship between microbiologist and scientist Andrew Collings, and dentist Brynne Adams. A few hours after the Vegas wedding of his best friends, Caterva BioTech Industries business partners, and former sex partners Avril and Dane Hawthorne, Andrew finds himself, on the side of the desert road, picking up a wayward runaway bride, who is desperately trying to put miles between herself and the man she thought she had loved. Discovering, via text and picture, that her business partner and fiance, had been carrying on a threesome affair behind her back with fellow dentist and partner, Brynne takes off on foot for places unknown. With nothing better to do for the night, Andrew makes Brynne an offer she did not refuse. What ensues is the quick Vegas wedding between Andrew and Brynne, and the potential fall-out as Andrew’s lies of omission destroy Brynne’s heart, once again. The relationship between Brynne and Andrew is quick to develop. From a roadside rescue to marriage to a long distance love affair, Andrew discovers that he wants something more than a marriage of convenience but a happily ever after. Brynne never thought she would find her own happily ever after on the side of the road but Andrew’s lies of omission about his past find our heroine walking away from the man with whom she had fallen in love. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense but I take issue with the use of a certain four-letter word I dislike in my romance story lines-erotic or otherwise. WICKED WEDDING is a sexy, sassy and seductive story line about two people who find love and forever when and where they least expect to. The premise is provocative and entertaining; the romance is seductive and hot; the characters are energetic, spirited and strong. WICKED WEDDING is a decadent and edgy story line from the pen of Sawyer Bennett.

Firstly, I have to say I haven't read The Wicked Horse series, sex clubs and ménages aren't really my thing, however, I don't think you need to read the series in order to enjoy Wicked Wedding and surprisingly it gives a different perspective on three-way relationships. I am sure fans of The Wicked Horse (Vegas) series are thrilled to see Andrew get his own story and chance at HEA after witnessing his two best friends fall in love in Wicked Envy.  Brooke and Andrew meet in the most unusual of circumstances when Andrew picks a hitchhiking bride-to-be up from the side of the road after attending his best friends' wedding.  Brooke and Andrew quite simply click; spending the evening together after Brooke walked away from a cheating fiancee winds up meaning far more than they ever anticipated.  Although everything is in fast-forward, there is never any doubt Brooke and Andrew belong together. The only thing marring their future together is Andrew's lack of disclosure as to his unconventional relationship with Avril and Dane. Especially after Brooke's vocal views on intimacy and sharing.  In all honesty, I completely agreed with Brooke but placing myself in her position and understanding the dynamic between Andrew, Avril, and Dane, along with the insecurities arising from the comparisons of three to two; allowed me to be a little more open-minded with regard  to other people's choices and the idea that the past need not affect the future. Wicked Wedding is a smoking hot read with an underlying tenderness.

We met Andrew Collings in the book Wicked Envy, which ended up being Dane and Avril's love story even though Drew was heavily involved in their story line. Now it is time for Drew to get his own happy ending. Drew just finished throwing his best friends, Dane and Avril, the best wedding reception that money can buy. He truly is happy that they found love. On his way back to his condo from the reception, Drew sees a woman, in a bridal gown along the highway wanting to hitchhike. Drew decides to stop and offer his help. Brynne Adams is pissed. Having just found out minutes before her wedding ceremony that her fiance cheated on her with her maid of honor AND his best man in a threesome, Brynne bolts out of the church and needs to get out of dodge. While riding with Drew, she gets a feeling of safety. She can't explain it, but she knows it's the right decision to be with him now. Drew proposes that they go get stinking drunk so that she will feel better. While drunk, Drew also proposes that they go get married....why waste a beautiful wedding gown, plus he still had his tux on. They find out they can get it annulled in 2o days, so they go for it. What neither of them expected was that they would both end up falling hard for the other. Everything was perfect and magical, even the sex...until Brynne finds out Drew's little secret. It takes a lot of love and a huge leap of faith for Brynne to be able get past Drew's little omission. In the end, love wins out and Drew and Brynne get their happy ever after! I just loved this story! Both of these characters were so fun. I just love a nerdy, sexy guy and Brynne fit his personality perfectly! Great sexy, fun read!
