First Impressions
Talk Wicked to Me is the latest book in the "Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside" series. It feels like forever since we had a release in this series. Melissa Foster has gone a bit slower in her releases in recent years. So I couldn't wait to read this one, and as soon the preorder of the audiobook came in, I just had to grab it up immediately, and yes I let go of my TBR reads of the week, so that I could indulge into this one here. Talk Wicked To Me was a unique twist on accidental pregnancy where the baby doesn't belong to the hero, but where the hero comes into the situation protective and a stable steady presence. There is a bit of forbidden love, as the hero is to leave for a trip soon, and he isn't looking for anything serious....until he met Emerson.

First Line
"I can't believe you're leaving me."

The Main Protagonists
 The Hero: Baz
 The Heroine: Emerson

 

Summary
Baz is a Veterninarian and is also part of the Dark Knights biker club, he is well chased by many women, a flirty of the first order and is well charming, but isn't looking for anything serious because he is planning a trip for four months away for doctors without borders, to fulfill a promise to his sister. When one day, a heavily pregnant woman walks into his office, worries she got her dog sick, and Baz is instantly drawn to her and protective and wanted to care of her. But when he helps her give birth, there is a deep connection that forms between them. But Emerson is independent and not used to leaning on anyone for help. Ever since her parents were killed, she has been content being alone and is prepared to care for her baby on her own. But Baz is protective, seeing to her every need and so patient and respectful and beyond that kind in ways she never imagined a person could be, but the love that is bursting between them....can it last?

 

What I Loved
Talk Wicked To Me had so many aspects to the story that was beyond delectable. I couldn't get enough of this book and this romance melted me from head to toe! From the very beginning, I was pulled into this story and I just didn't want to put it down. The story starts off with our hero, being charmed by our heroine, who is so worried over her dog and when Baz helps her when she is in labor, you see how drawn they are together. Baz is completely there for her, even though she has a lot of pride and doesn't want to accept his help. This is where I would call him a alpha mellow. He is such a caretaker in this book, and even though he is determined to help her, at the same time, he is also respectful of her space when she is needing it. We see such balance in him, and this is the type of alpha male that I think will work for most readers, because his alpha moments come out in his need to protect and take care of her. The heroine is stubborn at times and a bit too prideful at times. But you see how connected she is to Baz.

 

What I Struggled With
The only thing I struggled with was the heroine. Her pride really got the best of her, sometimes just plain ole common sense. But she learns and grows to accept the generosity but she does get a bit bull headed at times. I also wasn't a huge fan of how she treats the hero in the third act in this one scene. I felt like she could have been more aware and mindful of Baz and his feelings. But it wasn't enough to take away too much from the rating.

Narration
This narration pair was just right. Its in Dual POV so you do have two narrators and they handled it so well together here. They also were just fun to listen to, that I didn't want to put it down. They also captured the personalities of the characters involved in the story just right.

Overall View
Talk Wicked To Me is a story that oozes charm, delights and emotional intrigue. Its a tale of pining love, friendship bonds, and the value of family. SIMPLE A PRICELESS LOVE TALE!

Steam/Spice Explanations

Simmering cup of tea---soft warm touches and light intimacy
Warmin' by the fire- a medium level of sexual tension, a balance of sexual and emotional intimacy, lighter on the details in the sexual moments.
 Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes.
Blazing fire to the building-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Less focus on the emotional intimacy to the relationship.
