As the prince of a luxury hotel empire, I am as close to American royalty as one can get. I grew up accustomed to a certain lifestyle. One where people give me what I desire and anything, or anyone, else can be bought. Everyone wants a piece of me, yet no one is actually deserving of my time.That changes when Bailey Robbins, the smoking hot housekeeper in one of my hotels, catches my attention. … attention. Sure, she has curves for days but it’s her smart mouth I can’t help but be intrigued by. I may have avoided relationships all my life, but something about her makes me want to introduce her to my world. The darker, wicked side of Declan Blackwood.

If the book says Wicked Horse by Sawyer Bennett you know it’s going to be good. And Wicked Billionaire is really really good!
Declan, hotel royalty, and Bailey, hotel chambermaid, definitely do not disappoint. This is definitely one of my top wicked reads!
Declan is a busy billionaire, he runs his family hotel business and has aspirations of his own as well. Being as busy as he is he definitely doesn’t have time for more than hook ups at the Wicked horse. Until he meets Bailey.
Bailey has hopes and dreams but unfortunately they are buried under the 3 jobs she has to pay off her ex husbands debt and bad choices. One of her jobs is a s a chambermaid at Declan’s new hotel.
When Declan meets Bailey he immediately knows she’s different and and could be a big asset to his business and to him.
Bailey can’t believe her luck in landing a position as Declan’s personal assistant. She can quit her other jobs and concentrate on doing her best at her new job and hopefully have a long career in the company.
Declan stats to realize Bailey is exceptional at her job and he feels something for her he’s never felt for a woman before. The need for more than one night. Bailey can’t believe the feelings she has for her boss. But when sparks fly there’s nothing you can do be be wicked!
Enjoy this great love story with its HEA!
Declan and Bailey afford readers another visit into Sawyer Bennett’s mind and into the Wicked Horse in Las Vegas. Wicked Billionaire is an interesting forbidden office (boss/employee) romance with the sexy, voyeuristic visits to the top of a Las Vegas hotel. I wasn’t so sure about Declan when we were initially introduced to him in August’s story and when Wicked Billionaire began, but he grew on me. Bailey as a strong heroine definitely kept me going!
Sawyer gives the Wicked Horse series a great send off with Wicked Billionaire. I liked the book and would have given it 5 stars but with the book being so short it just seemed really rushed. It is as if everything fell into place perfectly. I wish the book was longer and that we got to see more of the relationship develop. I definitely still recommend reading this book.
Declan is a billionaire that is used to getting his way in and out of the bedroom. He is surrounded by yes men/woman. He has become complacent in his own life. Nothing and no one ever challenges him. I mean who would say no to a billionaire or to your boss. Enter in the hotel maid, Bailey. One day she is cleaning his condo when he fires a staff member because she has screwed up a major event. Bailey hears the conversation between her boss and the employee and has the gall to make a suggestion. A suggestion that might just save his event. Declan tries to order her around and is appalled that she tells him no. That she won’t cave to his demands. This intrigues him and makes him want to pursue Bailey.
Can two people who grew up in two totally different worlds come together and fall in love? Declan grew up wealthy, entitled, and driven. He want for nothing. Well except more loving and caring parents. But the life he leads cancels out any negativity that occurred in his childhood. He is rich on life. Bailey on the other hand has to work three jobs to help take care of her and her family. She is close to her family and even though times were very tough growing up she wouldn’t change it for the world. She is rich in family. But together though they are rich in love.
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Declan is a man whose all about number one. He also doesn’t appreciate being taken down a peg. As I get to know him, I think he would be great as the star in a revival of Scrooge. Bailey voices thoughts that I’m sure are the same as those that may be in the same position. She certainly knows how to stand up for herself.
The author has made two characters that couldn’t be more polar opposite. There’s one I sympathize with and the other I want to kick… I’ll let you guess which is which. Good thing this is a work of fiction because someone is so full of themselves that I’m surprised they can get through a door. Plus, they haven’t got a clue. There are times where you think redemption is in sight but old habits die hard. But I was happy to see that there was someone there to show them the way.
This is a case of the author saving the best for last – you might find your body temperature rising. She’s great at always creating a work where you want to go back for more. The good news is that I may check out another one of her series but can come back here at any time. Declan did leave me wondering if we actually saw the last of him or will he and Bailey make an appearance at another point in time.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Can I give this book more then 5 stars? If so I would like to give it 10!
I was in love with Declan as soon as he let it be known he hates pantyhose!!!!!
Gawww this man is so relationship averse that I literally smiled the biggest smile when he fell hard and fast. I loved that he was sort of the one pushing for her do more than they agreed upon. I loved the fact that he always said what was on his mind…even if it was inappropriate at times. I just really enjoyed this sexy little nugget and I wish I had more from them…I hope we get a glimpse of them again.
Declan & Bailey are #CoupleGoals for me…

Wicked Billionaire is the final book in the The Wicked Horse Vegas Series and can be read on a stand alone basis. As we have come to expect from this series, it was certainly at times a real hot read but I did enjoy the story too. It was a wee bit predictable but still an enjoyable read and I did fly through the pages. 3.5 stars
First of all let me tell you how much I love this series!! It’s definitely one of my favorites! All books are stand-alones, but connected within the series. You’ll see ‘older’ couples here and there. This series is hooooot hot, and it’s kinky here and there. But all in an amazing way. That’s just how the author works. Her writing style is phenomenal.
Declan and Bailey meet as she is a maid in his hotel in Vegas and she cleans his penthouse. Eavesdropping during one of his phone calls she opens up her witty mouth and helps him out to save an event. And she also gets a different job offer – as his PA! So now they work together side by side every day and their chemistry rockets off immensely.
I love Declan. Seriously. To see him getting out of his comfort zone, having someone stand up to him with a sassy mouth no less. Wonderful. I chuckled a lot reading this book.
Bailey is also an adorable person. Having it rough the last months, this better paid job is coming in handy! I love how feisty she is. These two are a perfect match!
This book has gripped me right from the beginning. It had me melting away, in more way than one lol, and I read it throughout the day. Love love love it!!
I LOVE all this Wicked! The Wicked Horse Vegas series is a seriously HOT series that you don’t want to miss and this one doesn’t disappoint.
This book focuses on Declan (who we’ve met briefly before). He’s a billionaire that dominates at work and during play. Declan gets seriously drunk one night and takes a girl home (something he doesn’t usually do) and while he’s kicking her to the curb, his hot housekeeper is coming in to clean. There’s something about her that draws Declan to her. She thinks he’s an obnoxious rich guy and nicknames him “dicklan”. As she’s cleaning, Declan gets into a bind with his inept assistant screwing up a big event for him. Bailey (the housekeeper) overhears and helps him out. He convinces her to become his assistant and work for him. But she won’t bend easily to his demands as she has 3 jobs that he needs to be able to pay her for and she helps her parents.
Of course, Declan gets what he wants and the ride begins…..
Bailey isn’t afraid to speak her mind. This isn’t a smooth ride as Declan “fires” her pretty quickly but she refuses to accept his firing and shows up to work.
These two have many obstacles and mistrusts to overcome but with a lot of work, the steam they create is too hot not to want more.
Another great read by Sawyer Bennett!
*5 Dicklan Stars*
Love, love, love, love, love…
A bit of Cinderella and a lot of Prince Charming, Bailey and Declan’s courtship was a fun, steam-filled romance!
What surprised me was, for all the intensity of the scenes at the Wicked Horse (and they were flaming), I loved even more the slow relationship buildup between Bailey and Declan. Bailey was in an entirely different tax bracket and, given her circumstances, could have been someone who caved just to keep her new job. But she wasn’t. Far from it. She knew her own worth and expected Declan to see that as well. And he did. One surprise at a time… Their conversations ranged from flirty to pain-filled revelatory and each one opened themselves to the other. They desired each other but the respect and yearning for friendship, for unconditional love and support, seemed even deeper…
There was drama of course, and a surprise twist at the end that pushed everyone to bring their honesty and feelings to the table. Put it all together and, hands down, this was one of my all-time favourite reads from this author.

WICKED BILLIONAIRE is the eighth instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult WICKED HORSE VEGAS erotic romance series focusing on the members of the exclusive Vegas sex club The Wicked Horse. This is billionaire hotelier Declan Blackwood, and housekeeper/PA Bailey Robbins’ story line. WICKED BILLIONAIRE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Declan and Bailey) WICKED BILLIONAIRE follows the forbidden relationship between billionaire hotelier Declan Blackwood, and housekeeper/PA Bailey Robbins. Bailey Robbins works three jobs including housekeeping at the Vegas Blackwood Hotel. Cleaning the boss’ suite, Bailey finds herself offering advise when she overhears Declan firing his latest PA, advise regarding an upcoming fundraiser, and the lack of space for an event of that size. Hiring our heroine on the spot, Declan knows to cross the line could be disaster for himself and the woman that stirs something deep within our story line hero. What ensues is the building relationship between Declan and Bailey, and the potential fall-out as Declan’s secret is about to reveal.
Declan Blackwood doesn’t do relationship hence his very busy membership at the sex club The Wicked Horse. Hiring former room cleaner Bailey Robbins gives Declan all sorts of ideas including a sex-only relationship until Declan wants more. Bailey Robbins works three jobs to help her parents and pay down the debt of her former husband. With an offer from Declan, Bailey discovers there is more to the man than meets the eye, including a very active sex life that now involves our story line heroine.
The relationship between Declan and Bailey begins as a business arrangement-employer and employee that quickly crosses the line into something more. Researching for a potential sex club of his own, Declan brings Bailey to The Wicked Horse, an evening that is about to change the dynamics of their current relationship. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The secondary and supporting characters include Declan’s less than welcoming parents Helena and Alexander Blackwood, and his sister Marissa, as well as Declan’s childhood nannie Leonie.
WICKED BILLIONAIRE is a story of family, discrimination, power and money. The premise is inviting, imaginative and engaging; the romance is spicy and hot; the characters are spirited and animated.
Is it Declan or Dicklan or Mr. Blackwood ?? This installment of the Wicked Horse Vegas is filled with sexy, hot and funny banter between Declan Blackwood and Bailey Robbins at parts you aren’t sure you want to laugh or cry for these two individuals that as so the opposite that they just work !
Declan is in Vegas for the opening of the Vegas Property before he moves onto the next location. When he meets his match in Bailey he realizes that they are equal and in the same page. They both have a murky past but with the push to have the truth be told Declan knows and feels that Bailey is the one.
Bailey might be a housekeeper but she is so much more and she proves herself to him and to her that she can and will be more at work and off the clock. She is what you might say the second in command when Declan isn’t around because she proves she can handle anything and by any thing I mean .. wink wink !! The Wicked Horse can get rockin !!
The Wicked Horse Vegas series has been an erotically-charged smorgasbord of sexy heroes and likable heroines finding a bit of freedom through a club that helps visitors forget all their troubles. Through eight previous books the heat’s been turned up, and numerous HEAs have been achieved, in a series of books that I’ve enjoyed and that are still inspiring my dreams. Though the storylines are familiar at times there are still plenty of decadent delights to be found in a series that I’ll re-read whenever I need a steamy escape from the chaos.
This ninth and final installment introduces readers to the commanding Declan Blackwood, a man of wealth accustomed to getting everything he wants. He’s a strong-willed man, self-assured when it comes to business and decadent delights. As the heir apparent he’s always been expected to excel at marketing the family name…and excel he does. Each new hotel carrying the family name is one more example of his success and another moment of pride for the elder Blackwoods. When it comes to love, it soon shows itself to be a foreign concept in his life, a life valued more for accomplishments. His parents are clearly incapable of showing affection, more concerned with accolades and wealth, and it’s made him equally as controlled in his dealings with others. That’s not to say that he’s incapable of love, he’s just extremely guarded and leery of putting his heart on the line. Declan’s a character that’s a bit offensive early on, a bit too over the top when he’s around others as he’s a perfectionist at times. In the business world he’s a strong presence, but he’s even more so in the bedroom in scenes that set the pages on fire. It’s here that he and Bailey showed their compatibility, showed how opposites can be truly perfect together in a romance that brought out a more human and likable side to Declan.
Bailey Robbins is one of Ms. Bennett’s more likable heroines, a hard-working and supportive woman. She comes from a loving family, a family that she’s now a caretaker to. Her life revolves around work, work, and more work as her parent’s disabilities require lots of money. A cheating and lying ex husband left his mark on her life too, leaving her with massive debt and a few self-doubts over trusting others. Despite the long hours at work Bailey’s still someone who takes time out for her family and it’s moments like this that bind them together and show Declan a better way to be. She shows him what’s truly important and together they take a scorching and sentimental journey to HEA. From the first page to the last I came to admire Bailey more and more. She never saw her family as a burden and never made them feel that way either as she loved them unconditionally for everything they’ve done for her in the past. She never took crap from Declan, pushed him when he needed to be pushed, while allowing him to have control during their scorching interludes that made for a satisfying balancing act. She’s strong and competent in her work and, courtesy of Declan, she had some intense moments of play that made me blush a time or two while I was cheering them on towards HEA.
On a whole this was an immensely appealing tale of opposites attracting, but it’s more than just that as what defines happiness drives this story as well. Declan may come from wealth but it’s clear from the start that he’s unhappy. He’s missing out on something and it’s only with Bailey’s help that he can discover what that is in a relationship full of give and take. I might not have loved Declan at the start but I enjoyed his evolution and found this story to be an entertaining series-ender in a series of books that were reliably sexy and satisfying. Add in an admirable heroine and you’ll find this a winner from the first page to the last!
Ah, Declan! I really hated you at the beginning, but, of course, SB made me love you! No surprise there. SB always makes me love her alphas. There’s just no escaping it.
And, as much as I loved Declan, I loved Bailey even more for her fiery, sassy spirit. I love when a strong woman can bring an alpha to his senses. Bailey does it without breaking a sweat.
Wicked Billionaire is the 8th book in the Wicked Horse Vegas series. This is Declan and Bailey’s story. Declan Blackwood is a hotel tycoon and is always in complete control. Bailey Robbins is a housekeeper In Declan’s hotel. This unlikely duo has instant chemistry, but could there ever be something between them? Sawyer Bennett once again writes another great installment in the series. This was a great story with awesome characters, I especially liked Bailey!
Wickedly Delicious and Enjoyable
Wicked Billionaire is an enjoyable bookend to the Wicked Horse Vegas Series.
Declan and Bailey’s chemistry and banter were sharp and appealing easily making them a favorite couple in the series.

4 Stars!
Declan Blackwood is a gorgeous, rich playboy bachelor whose family is practically American royalty. They own luxury hotels and resorts, and his name is worth billions. As an heir to the Blackwood fortune, he takes his job and his legacy seriously. He works hard, but he also plays hard. He doesn’t date or have time for relationships, and prefers no strings encounters at The Wicked Horse Vegas where he can indulge his every desire.
Declan is used to getting what he wants, and is a busy man with a strict schedule. When he’s suddenly in need of a new assistant he decides he wants to promote a new housekeeper he recently hired. She intrigues him and has caught his attention, but in his time of need it’s her sharp wit and intelligence that make him decide he must have her as his personal assistant. She’s not intimidated by him, and challenges him at every turn. Soon he’s fascinated with her, and wants her, but knows he can’t mix business with pleasure. That doesn’t stop him from fantasizing about his employee. As their attraction sizzles she proves to be a temptation he can no longer resist. They know crossing that line is a bad idea, but do it anyway. As he introduces her to his world she experiences her every secret desire. Can they keep their personal and professional lives separate, or will they decide they want more?
Wicked Billionaire by Sawyer Bennett is a delicious, standalone forbidden office romance in The Wicked Horse Vegas Series about a sexy alpha male and a strong female. It’s full of chemistry, passion, and fantastic banter. I really enjoyed this last installment in the series and loved this story and these characters!
Another wonderful romantic story in the Wicked Horse series. I love the way Ms. Sawyer gives us such wonderfully romantic couples. I particularly liked this couple as their chemistry was off the roof. Bailey starts as a housekeeper, but Declan notices how bright she is, and quickly makes her his Administrative Assistant. They are very different people, having been raised so differently, but working so closely together, Declan changes to become such a great character. For someone who was so unfeeling to begin with, I loved how his behavior changed. Bailey was such a strong female character. Even though there is a lot of sexual tension, there is also wonderful romance. Loved this story.
Wicked Billionaire brings The Wicked Horse Vegas series to a conclusion. Declan and Bailey’s story is a forbidden enemies to lovers office romance with a Cinderella twist.
Declan is a billionaire hotel heir who does not have time for more than a one-night stand. Bailey is a maid at the hotel that Declan owns. When she walks in to clean his suite sparks start to fly. Declan offers Bailey a job as his personal assistant to which she accepts because she needs the money.
Like the last few Wicked Horse Vegas books, the book does not spend a lot of time in the club but does deliver in the steaminess that we have come to know with The Wicked Horse. Declan was introduced to us in Wicked Secret as the billionaire hotel heir who seemed to be a really nice guy and would help anyone out but I found him to be a little too pushy in this book but thankfully Bailey was able to turn him around.
Now that The Wicked Horse Vegas series has come to a close I am excited to see what comes next from Sawyer Bennett.

Loved Bailey & Declan!!
This is a great story about a privileged billionaire (Declan Blackwood) who wants for nothing, does not hear the word ‘no’ from people and enjoys his women without any strings and a little on the kinky side. Thus, he’s a proud, card-carrying member at The Wicked Horse, Las Vegas.
It’s also about Bailey, who is a hard-working (3 jobs), takes care of her disabled parents (mostly her Mom), recently divorced woman, who somehow ended up with her ex-husband’s credit card debt. She’s strong, determined and is definitely not looking to get involved in another relationship.
Declan & Bailey meet while she’s working as a maid in one of the famous Blackwood Hotels, or more specifically, Declan’s Penthouse. She gets an eyeful, as one of Declan’s conquests storms out from the bedroom, a little “miffed” there wasn’t any interest from Declan to want ‘more’ with her. As Bailey continues with her cleaning, Declan gets a call from his less-than-competent (his opinion) assistant, informing him of not-so-great news. He’s livid & immediately fires said assistant before ending the phone call. He needs help right away fixing this problem & without thinking, Bailey blurts out a solution which shocks Declan. He says to Bailey that if she can make this happen, he’ll giver her the job as his new assistant. After some serious negotiating, Bailey accepts.
This then begins the story of Declan & Bailey, who have both been brought up from 2, totally different worlds. They both have a lot they can learn from each other but it’s not without a few hurdles to get over. One big one that comes in at about 89% of the way in!!!
But I really loved this story and enjoyed watching both Bailey & Declan give in and learn to trust and open themselves up to the possibilities they thought were not meant for them. (The trips to the Wicked Horse were pretty great too!!)
Where to begin…..I guess I should start by saying how much I have enjoyed this series I really hope this isn’t the end of of it even though it looks like it is. I am hoping there is either a spin-off in the works based on some prospects in this story or we will still be gifted with stories from the WICKED HORSE VEGAS from time to time.
This is Declan Blackwood and Bailey Robbins’ story, their story is one of instant attraction but not insta-love. Declan is the Prince of Blackwood Hotels, he is the one that oversees each new hotel from the breaking of ground through the opening and beyond in preparation of taking over the empire when his father retires. Which is why he has been in Vegas for a while now.
Bailey has recently divorced and is currently working a few jobs in order to pay off the debt she was left with. Her day job is as a housekeeper for the Blackwood Hotel in Vegas which is where she meets Declan. I can say that even though there was an appreciation for the way Declan looked she didn’t care for him very much since she nicknamed his Dicklan in her mind, I swear I laughed every time she called him that.
Bailey and Declan have great chemistry together even before they “get together”. She is smart and has a smart mouth, he is good looking and a bit cocky, they feed off of one another and it’s great. Declan never liked bratty subs but that was before he met Bailey, she had him rethinking a lot of things.
As with all the books in this series WICKED BILLIONAIRE can be read as a standalone but I can guarantee once you read one you’ll want to read them all.
Happy Reading!!!
