A captivating new standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. When the Dark Knights at Bayside and the cast of Bayside Summers collide, sparks fly, and trouble—or maybe love—is not far behind.
Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven't met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. Their stories are told in the same loving, passionate voice readers have come to adore from Melissa. Some of the Wickeds' love stories will be hilariously fun, others will tear at your heartstrings with injections of humor, but they will all leave you wishing you could climb between the pages and join them!
In USA Today Bestseller A LITTLE BIT WICKED...What do a cocky biker and a businesswoman who has sworn off dating bad boys have in common? According to Chloe Mallery, not much.
Justin came into the Wicked family after a harsh upbringing by a thieving father. He's gone through a lot to become a true Wicked, and he's made them proud. Now he's ready to show the woman he loves exactly what type of man he is. But Chloe has worked hard to move past her difficult upbringing, and she's wary of getting involved with a man who looks like he's walked right out of it. When tragedy strikes, will their trying pasts draw them together, or will Justin's protective nature be too much for Chloe's independent heart to accept?

Oh, my, this book was JUST what I needed at this time. In true Melissa Foster style, A Little Bit Wicked delivered an exceptional, sexy and heart-warming friends to lovers romance.
Foster creates swoon worthy heroes, but I have to say Justin Wicked is the cream of the crop. That man is so divine. He was not what I had expected based on the few encounters I had with him in previous books. A great friend and an even greater boyfriend. A confident male who is not afraid to go after what he wants.
Her heroines are usually sassy, smart and caring and Chloe epitomised all these traits.
Chloe and Justin were great as friends and they proved to be awesome as a couple. Their journey towards this new aspect of their relationship took one and a half year. Why? Chloe didn’t want to be involved with a biker. She saw bikers as being bad, based on her experience, but she would learn that the Dark Knights were not the typical run-of-the-mill motorcycle gang.
Despite their differences, Justin and Chloe had a lot in common. They both had painful pasts, which they overcame to become strong individuals. They were artistic, and they shared a love for animals. Falling in love with them was both was as easy as 123. I loved seeing them together. My heart broke for them both when the stories of their past came to light.
I enjoyed watching them as they navigated through their relationship. Slow burn, hot and romantic, they both had me fanning myself throughout the story.
The friendships that developed and the family dynamics helped to drive the story.
Love and laughter permeated the pages of the book which made for interesting moments.
Conclusion/Recommendation
I enjoyed this latest offering from Foster, and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
