Gabby Morgan isn’t looking for love. Not even a little romance. Following a rocky past that she’d just as soon forget, she’s determined to focus on the future. One that most certainly doesn’t involve the tough-as-nails, short-on-words, hot-as-hell biker…or his kid. Blake Mahone may not be done with women, but he’s finished with relationships. Then Gabby Morgan enters the picture. She’s flawless, refined, and as his kid’s teacher, way out of his league. She acts like she hates him, but her eyes tell a different story. Before he knows it, Blake finds himself hot for teacher, and he’s more than ready to learn all her secrets. Now all he has to do is convince her to give him a shot…without getting them both killed in the process.

Blog Tour and Review: Wicked Need by Sawyer Bennett

WickedNeedTourBanner

Title: Wicked Need (The Wicked Horse Series Book #3)
Author: Sawyer Bennett 
Release Date: April 19, 2016 


Rand Bishop’s dreams of Olympic gold were shattered years ago but he’s left that all behind, settling into a new career and lifestyle that would make any man jealous. While he may not be competitively racing down the ski slopes anymore, he’s just as happy getting his rocks off as a Fantasy Maker for The Silo. He’s good at what he does. Damn good. But while life couldn’t be better for Rand, it seems to be falling apart for Catherine Lyons Vaughn, the dark haired, brown-eyed beauty that has captivated an entire sex club. Having spent years degrading herself on her husband’s whim and now left destitute after his death, Catherine has hit rock bottom. With nothing but her body to peddle, Catherine is merely trying to figure out how to survive in a harsh, cruel world. Lucky for her, Rand has taken her under his tattooed wing, and he’s determined to give her a safe life where she can be the woman she was always meant to be. Now all Catherine has to do is believe she deserves the chance.

Wicked Need by Sawyer Bennett picks up right where Wicked Lust leaves off, and while normally I love her characters, I was a little underwhelmed by Cat (Catherine).

Rand finds one of the Silo’s patrons sleeping in her car and finds out Catherine, who wants to be called Cat, has lost everything after her husband died…or so she believes. Being a person who likes to help the downtrodden, Rand takes her to his apartment and tries to take care of her while attempting to ignore his desire for her. There has always been something about her that attracted him and nothing has changed in that aspect.

Getting evicted from her home by a lawyer with a copy of her husband’s will, Cat found herself with nowhere to go. She was homeless and living in her car. But the will may not have been real. With Rand at her side, she needs to find out the truth and try to get her life in order. And she is finding that she is developing feelings for her rescuer.

I have to say, I really liked Rand, but Cat was a little so-so to me. She was definitely not my favorite heroin from Sawyer Bennett until later in the book when she seems to grow a backbone, but then she starts make decisions that could endanger herself and others. There were also a couple of scenes I could have done without. That being said, the story was good and I liked the mystery surrounding Cat’s stepson and dead husband’s will. Did she really lose everything? How will she make it through? And will Rand become something more than her rescuer? 3.5 stars. Next up is Logan’s story and I can’t wait to read that!


Wicked Need is the third book in The Wicked Horse Series.

It can be read as a standalone but I would suggest reading the other books in the series first.

I would give this book a 3.5 stars and recommend to others.

This book is somewhat different from the other books in this series and it will not be for everyone.

There were some parts that were a little to risque for my liking but in all the story was good.

The Silo is a place for any fantasy you choose and both Rand and Cat know this very well.. in there own ways.

When Cat needs help it will be Rand that steps up to the plate.. but can they make a real relationship work after

being apart of the Silo life for so long?? And when help is no longer needed will Cat need Rand anymore???
