I loved this book. This has a strong sexy alpha hero, and a smart sexy strong heroine that get the job done. The sexual tension between them has sparks flying It has a fast-paced storyline full of action, intrigue, danger, suspense, passion and spice. It had my interest from the start and kept me turning pages until the very end. I enjoyed reading and can recommend to everyone who reads this genre…
It’s full of action, suspense and romance. It will suck you in from the beginning as it keeps you on the edge of your seat with its twists and turns. It’s gripping and intense storyline. I loved the connection and chemistry between the characters. I enjoyed reading their journey as everything starts to unravel. Looking forward to reading more.
I will not restate the plot nor reveal any spoilers in this review.
I have read 1000s of books and have a small handful that I call my favorites and ROYAL TREATMENT BY Tracy Wolff has just become part of my elite reading! This status is reserved for books that I will read again when I need a forever love story to pick up my spirits. This story is laugh out loud funny and wonderfully romantic. But above all, this story pulls the heartstrings. I wept as the book approached its conclusion because the characters were so real. The hurt, pain and anger expressed by Garrett was written so powerfully that I felt his despair. Lola is quirky and funny but, most importantly, understanding of the emotional upheaval that the prince experienced. There are many outside influences that prey on this couple but through it all, love overcomes them and makes the two stronger.
This is the first book I have read by Tracy Wolff but she has become one of my favorite authors. Read ROYAL TREATMENT for a wonderfully written romance with heart!
Her Wicked Hero Black Dawn Book 4
by Caitlyn O’Leary
This is another fabulous, lovely romance to read. Warning! Once you start reading Wicked Hero you won’t be able stop you will be compelled to read it straight through to the very end!
This is another thriller in Milla story by Caitlyn O’Leary. It’s a the fourth romance in The Black Dawn series that features Marcia Price and Dante “Zed” Zaragoza. Marcia has been taking care of her adopted family because she is giver and caretaker. But when she and her family is Kidnapped taken to a jungle. Marcia shows her strength. Zed is a trained Navy seal, he and the other seals on the team must rescue them. Zed has this feeling that the girl in the picture is important to him and he must save her. The readers first met Zed in Book 3 where he helps Hunter who Zed feels they have a special connection. What a action packed, captivating and exciting book to read. OMG this is a serious page turner, if you enjoy Navy Seals with that special heat while being protective Alpha men. There is plenty of drama plus the chemistry between Marcia and Zed is off the chart hot. They are utterly adorable as a couple and surrounded by some wonderful secondary characters too. What I enjoy about Caitlyn O’Leary books is that she manages to make them hilarious, hot and steamy, as well as being very emotional. This is a fantastic book to read and I’m excited about the Black Dawn series and hopefully there is plenty more stories in the series. I highly recommend this amazing book in this FABULOUS series from Caitlyn O’Leary.
Sometimes life throws you a curve and it’s how you handle that curve that makes or breaks you. Zed has had his fair share in his life. He was raised by his abuela after his mom died. Marcia had a great life until her parents died in a car accident. She was taken in from neighbors across the street. When the yacht she was on is overtaken, the incident will bring the two together. Will they be able to heal each other? A must read.
Her Wicked Hero is a great stand-alone as well as being part of a fantastic series. Zed and Marcia’s first meeting is about as far from perfect as you can get but their connection is instant. This is a wonderful, action packed book that keeps you reading right to the very end. The characters have depth and personality and just the right amount of sass and attitude. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, I loved it and can’t wait to find out what happens next to this amazing SEAL team. A definite must read.
Danger, action, passion, sacrifice, love, giving–these are just a few of the words that can be used to describe this book. And then there are fabulous, great read, attention holder, emotionally gripping, hot, adorably sweet and touching. Marcia and Zed are an imperfectly perfect match that she needs time adjusting to. What a great story.
I volunteered to review an arc of this book. I read it, I loved it, I bought it. This is not a new occurrence for me when it comes to Caitlyn O’Leary.
What to write for this review? How do you sum up engaging main characters, danger, mystery and intrigue, romance and smexy-times, plus interesting secondary- characters? How about…Wow! Just Wow. This book was very interesting and entertaining, a real page-turner. Ms. O’Leary never disappoints me. I always know when I pick up one of her books I’m in for a wild, but fun and interesting, ride.
Marcia Price isn’t sure what the future will hold. I kept getting the impression that she doesn’t know how to swear – she gives a more “dainty” swear word. She’s very resourceful and able to think on her feet. Dante “Zed” Zaragoza is doing a job by the seat of his pants. With the state of our world today, you can almost picture this actually happening to someone.
One thing I loved about this story is that the author seemed to let the story develop. The scenes weren’t rushed and our characters were going to take us right along with wherever they went. Not at any time did I feel that you needed to read the previous books in order to enjoy this latest in the Black Dawn series. To keep me riveted the author created a secondary character named Raymond. He’s totally twisted and we don’t know everything about him but I could picture him as a villain on Criminal Minds.
By the time I finished the book I knew that I look forward to reading more by this author and more of this series. I wanted to know more about the team that Zed works with. The ending was happy but really couldn’t tell if it was a happily ever after. Maybe it’s because this is part of a series and I’ll get to see our main characters again. Can’t tell you anything about a next book for Black Dawn but the author certainly has enough other books available that I can check out in the meantime.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Stories that tug at the heartstrings, convey heroism and vulnerability, and leave the reader with a feeling of coming home…this is what Caitlyn O’Leary continues to deliver. Every story holds a special message, but a man who says, “I saw your photo and recognized my soul mate”, will always capture your heart.
Her Wicked Hero will enthral and captivate readers with another tale of evil and danger and the men who choose to put everyone else’s safety before their own. But it isn’t just the rules of engagement that drive your decisions; sometimes you have to go with your gut instincts, and no one has better instincts than Dante ‘Zed’ Zaragoza. So when he looks at woman’s image, and sees his future; nothing will stop him succeeding in his mission.
Marcia and Zed are extraordinary characters; each has pain and loss in their past, but neither has allowed this to dampened their spirits, or their zest for life. They each have a tendency to accept too much responsibility for that which is out of their control, but this only makes their connection stronger.
Zed is tough, courageous and in Marcia’s words, a complete Neanderthal; but his caring nature, loyalty to his team, and dedication to the protection of the innocent, are what make him so extremely loveable. Marcia is a little bit motherly; she feels her life’s purpose is to repay the kindness given to her as an orphaned child; but in doing so, she has limited her ability to find the happiness she so richly deserves.
Her Wicked Hero is just one more example of the passion, emotion and enthusiasm we have come to expect from any story written by Ms O’Leary; and as you turn the pages, you can’t help but feel the genuine love she has for her exceptional characters. So as I read the last page, and shed a little tear, I knew I’d be anxiously awaiting the next story, even though I’m sure it will tug on my emotions, make me laugh and cry, and above all else wish I had my very own Neanderthal to keep me warm.
Looking for a HEARTSTOPPING romantic suspense with HIGH OCTANE ACTION, SWEET HEART-MELTING ROMANCE AND UNFORGETTABLE HEROES? Than set your eyes on Her Wicked Hero! Miss O’ Leary does it…AGAIN! She brings us another swoon worthy hero who will take a hold of your heart in under 5 seconds and leave you feeling satisfied, protected, and oh so warm. Zed is amazing. Sexy, smart, protective, caring, and really romantic, I felt incredibly honored to read a story with this type of hero. He is exactly what I imagine a man in the military should be like…a gentleman and protector of the HIGHEST order. Marcia is such a caring heroine. She thinks of EVERYONE first before herself and the way she cares about everyone around her really had me liking her a lot. She needed Zed and I believe that he needed her.
Her Wicked Hero had EVERYTHING and made ALL my feelings come forth. I felt the need to cry, I felt on the edge of my seat, my heart in my throat, scared out of my mind with all the crazy intense action and some of the best and sweetest romance you could imagine. Caitlyn O’Leary writes GOLD with her romantic suspense stories and I can NEVER get enough!
Her Wicked Hero gets HIGH OCTANE FIVE SHOOTING STARS!
From the first time Zed sees a picture of Marcia, he knows she is his soul mate. He just needs to find her. Marcia lost her parents when she was young and she moved in with the Brockman’s. She had to do everything to show them she appreciated it all.
Mr. B, two of his daughters are kidnapped off a yacht. One of the men becomes obsessed with Marcia. Zed works with the team to rescue them. They have to find the men responsible for the kidnapping and remove the threat.
Her Wicked Hero is an emotional rollercoaster ride through the jungle and beyond. If you are an adrenaline junkie this book is for you. It grabs you from page one and never let’s you go. O’Leary entices you with her over the top alpha males and her kick ass heroines. Dante “Zed” and Marcia have enough chemistry to set the pages on fire but also have hearts of gold. OMG Zed is a hero after my own heart. He is a big teddy bear inside raised by his grandmother he respects and values women. Every woman on earth wants a man like Zed in her life. Marcia has always taken responsibility for everyone in her life and has never learned to say no. From one disaster to the next she just keeps going never realizing she is being used and manipulated by the ones she loves. Character development is spot on and you will love the heroes and truly dislike the villains. You become invested in all aspects of Zed and Marcia’s story and you are waiting breathlessly for their HEA ending. As always with a Caitlyn O’Leary book this can be read as a standalone. There are some well known characters that make appearances and they add to the story but do not detract if they are unknown to you. Be sure to give this book a try and be ready for a thrill ride.
Marcie was essentially adopted by the Director of the NSA and his family when her family died. But an off the cuff remark by her friend implants the idea that she has to prove her worth to them. She goes about making herself pretty much indispensable to them after their mother dies. No easy feat when she is also juggling a career in business and possibly going back to University for her Masters!
When the family were kidnapped from a cruise she immediately went with them, pretending to be her friend who was in rehab to help calm the younger girls. Now trapped with them she realises that they are using the girls as leverage for when they sell “her father” and his secrets to the highest bidder!
Dante (aka Zed) is part of the team assembled to go in after the kidnappers. He has always had a kind of knowing about certain things, once he sees Marcie’s picture he knows she is going to be a part of his life. He just has to find her first!
Fab story as usual. Dante trusts the tam he is assigned to but still sees himself as an outsider, even though the team fully integrated him. Marcie is chock full of self esteem issues but is also a tower of silent strength to all those she holds dear. Clear a couple of hours to just sit and soak up the adventure and passion, you will not be able to put it down!
An excellent read. Filled with plenty of steam, action, suspense and danger to grab and keep your interest. Zed and Marcia have great chemistry and fit together beautifully as a couple. I loved the attraction and emotional connection between these two. These are two complex characters and very different from each other, but that was part of their great appeal as a couple. A truly pleasurable read.
What an amazing story. This books had all the elements a good book should have. This was a “keep you on the edge of your seat” and needing sleep is for the weak type of book.
I absolutely loved Marcia. She was strong, independent, caring and courageous. She was not a weak woman, she did what was needed to be done and took care of others in the process. While she wasn’t a Navy Seal, she was able to keep up with one and keep it together long enough to have Zed get her out of harms way.
Zed is the type of guy book boyfriends are made of. Not only is he the tough Navy Seal but he isn’t all alpha. He was tough when he needed to be but yet could step aside or step down when his woman needed a moment. He was protective towards Marcia but also recognized that she was a independent woman. Reading about him trying not to smile when Marcia would go off on a tirade was fun to read.
I love this series! It’s a must read for me.
Another win in this series! I literally read it start to finish! The intense plot draws you in right away. Then the sweet story of Zed and Marcia keeps you sucked in. Although all the books in this series can be read as stand alone I do think this one you would benefit from reading the other’s first…I won’t say why since that would be a spoiler. There is a connection between Hunter and Zed that is explored more in this story. Every book I read by Caitlin just makes me want to read more! You can’t go wrong with any book she writes! This is definitely an example of that!
wow was I blown away from this book. it was filled with mystery suspense and attraction and love what more could you ask for? I won’t give spoilers away because this book will have you hanging on the egde of your seat and falling in love with these men and zed is truly amazing and Marcia is just as equal to him and they both have had things happen to them that made them stronger. This book had you turning the pages and kept you sitting on the edge of your seat. I absolutely love this book and congratulations to Caitlyn on another amazing story.
This book is part of a series, and though it’s considered a standalone I truly believe you would benefit from reading the previous books. Characters from them show up, and at times can be a little confusing on identifying who’s who.
This story is at times sweet, filled with action, bad guys and hunky good guys, some humor and a “six sense or feeling”.
Both Navy SEAL Zed and Marcia are likable and the plot complex.
Was it my favorite story, no, but it’s a good one for an afternoon read.
