So first of all I would Like to say that I got this book from a goodreads Giveaway. This is the first book I have won, and I am very excited to read and review it.

So I guess I will start with the cover, since it is the first thing you see when it comes to books. It is very eye catching because it clearly screams 'sex'. It caught my attention, for sure. I mean, who wouldn't be intrigued by a naked lady. But because of this cover, I found it very hard to find time to read it.

So I guess I will start with the cover, since it is the first thing you see when it comes to books. It is very eye catching because it clearly screams 'sex'. It caught my attention, for sure. I mean, who wouldn't be intrigued by a naked lady. But because of this cover, I found it very hard to find time to read it. It is not the type of book you can just read anywhere, because of the cover. I like to read in front of the fireplace, and lose myself in a book while the kids run about or while my parents have their own little conversation. Yet I couldn't do this with this book, because, well It's not a good idea to read a book with a naked lady as the cover in front of children or adults for that matter. So This disappointed me a little. Because of this, It took me a very long time to read this book, which was a one day read, but because of the cover. I only found time to read it before bed, and being tired, i could only manage a couple of pages a night. It would have been help full if the cover had been a little bit more subtle, not that I am complaining. I like the cover, its sexy and eye catching.

Next topic, the characters. I feel that the characters had a very real feel to them. Their feelings raw, I could most definitely relate to them. The pain of betrayal caused by nothing more than the hope of love and romance. Without having gone through these experiences yourself, you find yourself relating to the characters, losing yourself in them, as if they were to be your own. I can almost see through the eyes of every character,even the mother and father. Even though there emotions were being viewed through a sort of thick veil. To be able to do this through words, is a very unique talent, that only some writers can bring to their writing.

The relationships in wicked Allure were very realistic and natural, which was what I loved most about this book. You see how a relationship develops. You see how things go from 'him','her' and 'his'; to 'us', 'we' and 'our'. When a relationship is stuck at the me stage, it isn't going to get very far. You learn this in Wicked Allure, you understand it. Another thing I adored about Wicked Allure was the ending. I love it when things are kept realistic and not picture perfect, Wicked Allure gave me just that. It showed that ever happy ending comes with a downside, a very real consequence. Thus no longer a picture perfect love story. When relationships are involved, the puzzle never really fits together. You have to accept it for what it is. I would alas say more, but I don't want to spoil anything. So I would like to move onto another let down. I was intrigued by one of the characters and would have liked to know what was to happen with that particular character. I would have liked to know more, but I am hoping that this just means that there will be another installment of Wicked Allure. Which will undoubtedly be a very good thing.

Over all, I was impressed with this book, and I would recommend it to anyone that has a taste for sex, drama and a tid bit of romance.

A wickedly great read by the mother and daughter duo of Leslie C. Ferdinand! It is so packed full of heat, emotion, love and betrayal among lovers and family members, that you will find your jaw dropping and the urge to grip a character or two by the neck to shake some common sense into them many times over.

The main female character, Madigan DeLeon, is a beautiful, strong, quick witted woman that has one weakness and that weakness is Zachary Steele. Zachary is a successful, smart and extremely ...more
