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.

These two set my kindle on fire!! I haven’t read the other books in this series, but after reading this one I will make my way through all the books! this book was incredibly sexy and amazing!
I of course loved this. I’ve loved all the Wicked Horse books. You never know what kind of naughty scenes will be between the pages! Declan is an a-hole, a super rich guy who runs hotels and comes from a prestigious family. A guy not looking to settle down, and it was NOT love at first sight for Bailey. Sure she thought he was hot but kinda rude. I like how she opens his eyes to real life. And I like who he becomes thanks to her influence. This was steamy and romantic with a twist thrown in that I didn’t see coming. If you want to know a trope, I’d say office romance for sure, as he’s her boss.
Dang it! I need more Declan and Bailey stat. These two were meant to be together and I was wishing it the entire book. Sexy, alpha, cocky, billionaire Declan always gets what he wants and right now, that happens to be Bailey. The more I read the better it kept but, it’s a Sawyer Bennett book, what’s not to love.
I have no words…only feelings of all kinds. Sawyer Bennett brings it all to the table and this book will have you heart broken in many different ways, yet love will find a way. Loved it I volunteered an honest opinion for this book.
***4 ‘Team Bailey’ Stars***
After finishing Wicked Secret, I was crossing my toes that we’d get a little more time with Declan, because the man was HAWT! So, I was all kinds of excited to hear that he was up next, even though I was also a bit sniffly that this would be the last of the series, this was a fun and smexy as all get out read!
Declan was all kinds of alpha male arrogant goodness. He definitely had me raising an eyebrow a few times with how…direct he was, but as time went on, his softer side came out and he was pretty lethal. But as much as I loved Declan, Bailey totally stole the show for me. Hard working, driven, feisty and simply a good person. Her world had shifted sideways, but she put her shitkickers on and did what needed to be done. She knew her worth and owned it.
Their journey to their HEA was a lot of fun. It was all kinds of opposites attract/forbidden goodness. The sexual tension between them was intense from the start and it definitely pushed their relationship along at a faster pace than either expected. Their bantering was a lot of fun, but I loved how the more they were around each other, the more they admired and respected each other. The bump in their road was a bit of a surprise, though maybe it shouldn’t have been, but I thoroughly enjoyed how it was put to rest so they could have the HEA they so richly deserved.
I am a tinsy bit sad that this is the last of the series, but it is definitely going out on a good note. This book was low on the angstyness and simply just a fun read, so if you’re looking for some smexy, good times then this is the one for you!

After being introduced to Declan Blackwood in the last book, I couldn’t wait to find out more about this sexy billionaire! Declan had a privileged upbringing and works hard to continue the success of the Blackwood Hotel empire. He doesn’t have time or the desire for relationships, only sating his dark desires at the Wicked Horse. That is until Bailey, his new smart and sassy housekeeper, catches his attention. She is the total opposite of everything he has enjoyed before, but he can’t stop thinking about her. She is strong, independent, and caring, but he especially loves how she stands up to him and isn’t afraid to own her desires. He never crosses the line with an employee, but for Bailey, he will break all his rules. This book was so different than the others. Yes it was still witty, emotional, and sizzling hot, but it was also so sweet and swoony. Baily is a great heroine, she is the kind of woman I love to read about. She challenged Declan, owned who she was, and never gave in to be something she wasn’t. I loved them together, and their relationship was so sweet, and honest. Despite being from completely different worlds, they could have fun, make each other laugh, and their chemistry was on fire! I also loved Declan’s nanny, and thought their relationship was beautiful.
The narration by Lance Greenfield, and Kirsten Leigh was amazing. They nailed these characters perfectly, making me feel all the push/pull of emotions they experienced. Greenfield’s deep raspy voice embodies Declan and all his dominant possessiveness, and makes me feel all his turmoil, tension, and love. Leigh did a great job bringing out not only Bailey’s tenacity as she challenged Declan, but also her strength, loyalty and her new found sexual awakening. Together they brought this poignant, and sexy romance to life keeping me totally engaged from start to finish.
This is a great ending to this emotional and sizzling series!
5 star Review Wicked Billionaire (The Wicked Horse Vegas # 8) by Sawyer Bennett
This is Declan Blackwood and Bailey Robbins’s story and is the eighth book in the Wicked Horse, Vegas series. It was smoking hot, deliciously steamy and romantic; l was totally invested from the first to the last page in the story that Ms. Bennett wove.
Declan and Bailey come from totally opposite worlds and yet there is something about Bailey that calls to Declan and he wants to show her how good it can be between them. Bailey is focused on surviving, trying to look after her disabled parents, working multiple jobs, she has no time to play or enjoy herself.
This book was well written, emotional and steamy as Declan and Bailey cannot deny the chemistry that sizzles between them. I loved Declan and Bailey, both separately and especially together. Bailey is a fantastic character, she is strong, determined, never giving up even when circumstances threaten to overwhelm her. Declan is used to getting what or who he wants, when he wants and doesn’t take no for an answer so it was interesting to watch the push and pull of their relationship.
Wicked Billionaire has all the heat and passion that we have come to expect from this series.
I love my visits to Las Vegas, especially when a trip to the Wicked Horse is included and this visit is Declan Blackwood and Bailey Robbins story.
Declan comes from old money, his family own a luxury chain of hotels and he has more money than most people could ever dream of but he also has needs to a certain lifestyle and that means he never looks for relationships because he doesn’t believe a woman would fit into the world of the Wicked Horse but when he comes across Bailey a sassy housekeeper cleaning his room all bets are off and he starts to have feelings he has never experienced before.
Bailey is having a tough time and when Declan makes her an offer she can’t refuse she is convinced she will be able to walk away when the month is up…..
This story touched me on so many levels, a man who knows nothing about love, he grew up with a nanny and she was the only person to show him feelings and a woman who has grown up with love to spare so will they be the perfect couple or will the past destroy their future before it even begins…..
I’m so sad that this is the final book in this series but Ms Bennett certainly left the best for last, Declan and Bailey are the perfect couple to round this series up with so I guess all that’s left for me to say is please one click this gem of a read.
Wicked Billionaire is another entertaining installment in this author’s Wicked Horse Vegas series. I absolutely loved the premise of the book and the author did a phenomenal job with Declan and Bailey’s story. The characters were well developed and I thought the opposites attract element was interesting.
Declan Blackwood is a member of the elite with a commanding presence and is extremely dedicated towards the family’s hotel business; thus leaving him with no patience for attachments and gold diggers. In the beginning, I wanted to shake this alpha male for his seemly cold & arrogant nature, but as the author peeled back Declan’s layers & illustrated why he erected a protective cage around his heart, I grew to love him.
Bailey is a strong heroine that I believe many people will relate to. This sassy spitfire is a woman that is down on her luck, but is extremely hardworking and possesses a huge heart. It was impossible not to like her.
Even as opposites, the draw between the two of them is palpable. With sparks flying and several of their interactions being deliciously wicked, I often times fanned myself from the shear hotness between the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed watching how their relationship evolved over time. Some aspects of this book reminded me of a unique spin on Pretty Woman which I loved.
If you are looking for a well-written romance with a compelling storyline and captivating characters then you will definitely want to check out Wicked Billionaire!
HOT DAMN!!! Another amazing installment to the Wicked Horse series! Sawyer Bennett starts off with a BANG in this book, well not really a bang, but close enough! LOL! Lots of twists and turns, and the usual Wicked Horse play that throws you into hot and bothered instantly! Declan is the epitome of alpha billionaire, when he meets Bailey, he is in for a serious change of hart! Seriously loved his book!!!
I always love a visit to The Wicked Horse Vegas and Wicked Billionaire was everything I expected in this series and more.
Declan’s life is busy running his families hotel empire, he doesn’t date but he enjoys all the wickedness at The Wicked Horse. Bailey works for Declan as a maid, however, there is something different about her and Declan is drawn to her. He offers her a position as his personal assistant. It is a great opportunity and could really help her out.
There is TONS of chemistry between these two from the moment they met. They both tried to keep it professional and fight their attraction to each other, however, once they cross that line it is an EXPLOSION of kindle melting chemistry that continues throughout the story.
While this story brings the heat, there is also so much more to both Declan and Bailey’s story. I love that Bailey is a strong, independent and fierce woman. She loves and cares for her parents and that shows so much throughout the story. There a many layers to Declan as a character and I love that we get to see all of them throughout the story.
Wicked Billionaire is a MUST READ, especially for those who love The Wicked Horse Vegas.
Wicked Billionaire by Sawyer Bennett is the eighth book in the Wicked Horse Vegas series and can be read as a stand-alone. It tells the story of Declan, the head of the Blackwood Hotels and resorts and Bailey his house cleaner whom he promotes to his Assistant.
When we meet Bailey, she is struggling to make ends meet, take care of her disabled parents and pay of her ex’s debt. When she assists Declan with an event issue, this is when he promotes her.
Declan is intrigued by her tenacity and fiery personality. One evening he introduces Bailey to the Wicked Horse and after one night together, he wants more.
Bailey is intelligent, strong and independent. The dynamic between the two is wonderful and it was a pleasure to see these two fall for each other. I believe this may be the last book in the series and am sad that it has ended, but knowing Ms. Bennett, I am sure we will re-visit these characters in the near future.
Declan is about the closes thing to royalty America will find….his family own Blackwood hotels and are worth billions. Bailey is a hard working blue collar maid. Polar opposite and do the sparks fly. This book has all the steaminess you are looking for, also has a sweet love story, but my favorite was Leonie!!
I love books that give you that feel good feeling! Wicked Billionaire was just one of those books! And it means my weekend is off to a good start!
Wicked Billionaire is the 8th book in the Wicked Horse Vegas Series. This is Declan Blackwood and Bailey Robbins story. I do believe I started falling in love with Declan in Wicked Secret #7. So I was thrilled when I saw that he had a book of his own!
Bailey is a smoking hot housekeeper for The Blackwood Luxury Hotels and Declan and his family own it. Bailey is cleaning Declan’s room when he starts his tirade about an event that is too big for the room that is going to be hosted in. Bailey who is holding down several jobs and knows of a place where the event was just cancelled lets Declan know about it. And the story is off to a great start!
This Wicked Horse series has been the best. Whether it is the original Wicked Horse or the Wicked Horse Vegas series. Actually I am hoping for another spin off or even something new but still with the Club scene. With Sawyer Bennett you know you will get something good either way!
You can expect a good story and you can expect that these books are going to be HAWT! I loved reading this book and series and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Wicked Billionaire was filled with heat and emotion. Obviously it’s going to bring the heat and steam because that’s what a Wicked Horse book does, and this one didn’t disappoint. The storyline was interesting with the setup and how the two meet and become involved. Declan and Bailey are polar opposites from each other. Bailey is nice, sweet, and caring, whereas Declan is harsh, rude, spoiled, egotistical… basically he’s a jerk. Bailey was clearly much more easy to like and feel for with her current situation. She definitely deserves better than what she’s been dealt. Declan on the other hand took longer to warm up to. Luckily, as the book goes on you start to get a better understanding of his life and the reasons he is who he is. Plus, Bailey knows how to call him out and get him to see things differently, which made me happy. By the end I was very pleased with him as a person, how far he’s come, and everything he did for Bailey. Declan and Bailey are a strong couple despite their differences, and I enjoyed their journey. I’m sad that this is the last Wicked Horse Vegas book. I have really enjoyed this series and am sad to see it come to an end *I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.*
I did not wait to see this book come across my kindle. It is the last of the Wicked Horse Vegas. I am going to miss this series so, so much. Each book is a different couple and they are sizzling hot.
Declan Blackwood prince of a hotel empire and when he sees something he wants, he goes after it. Bailey Robbins is a housekeeper in one of Blackwood’s hotels. She catches Declan’s eye and he wants her and will win her one way or the other.
Bailey never thought she would end up at the Wicked Horse with her boss. But the thought of being there with him has her skin tingling and her wanting to experiment with him. As they spend time together, they are growing closer and feelings are growing too.
Will working together become a problem for Declan and Bailey? What will happen when Bailey learns about Declan’s past? Is there a happily ever after for them?
I loved each and every book in this series and I highly recommend them to you. I can’t wait to see what author Sawyer Bennett comes up with next. If you haven’t read this author yet, you should. Just pick a book and enjoy it!
**I received a free copy of this book to read and review and this is my honest opinion**
I knew Declan’s story would be a good one because he is the ultimate naughty playboy billionaire. But I sorely underestimated it!
Bailey and Declan burn up the pages! And what true romance wouldn’t be complete without some secrets, conflict and misunderstanding? I couldn’t put it down!
5 stars!!
What an Amazing Finish to an Amazing Series. Wicked Billionaire has us meeting Declan Blackwood heir to the Blackwood dynasty, a man who knows what he wants and shows no remorse going after it,
If it’s in the boardroom or the bedroom he always gets what he wants. What he never expects is to meet the sassy Bailey Robbins.
Bailey Robbins is a woman trying to move on with her life after a divorce, working three jobs taking care of her parents but when she meets Declan Blackwood her life changes in an instant.
The chemistry between Declan & Bailey is Incredible But does crossing a line from employer & employee the smart thing or does taking that risk something that feels right and taking that leap of faith is something you can’t turn your back on since it just might leave you finding it could be the HEA you never knew you could have.
Declan Blackwood is a man who is used to the finer things in life and always getting what he wants- no exceptions. He has made many a fantasy come true in the Wicked Horse, but that is the only piece of him that he is willing to share. Relationships are off the table, and he is married to his work. That doesn’t always make him a pleasant person to be around, and Bailey’s first encounter with him certainly justifies the impromptu “Dicklan” moniker that has been bestowed upon him. She is not about to be cowed by him though, and her quick thinking along with her backbone unexpectedly land her a new position as Declan’s personal assistant with a salary that will allow her to stop working 3 jobs.
Ever since Bailey’s husband left her, she has been struggling to make ends meet to pay off thousands of dollars in debt he stuck her with while simultaneously caring for 2 disabled parents. This new job could be the answer to her prayers, and she actually enjoys it. Declan is surprised by her quick mind and astute observations… now if he can just keep his thoughts away from her personal attributes he will be doing well! The attraction is obviously mutual, and for the first time he considers actually crossing the line with an employee.
Bailey never failed to amaze me with her pragmatic thought process in the face of emotional turmoil, and once she is convinced to take the leap… YOWZA! The heat is definitely turned up to blazing, and Declan finds himself intrigued by a woman outside the club for the first time that he can remember. His family life growing up most certainly didn’t provide him with any incentive to look for love, and he would barely know what love looks like without the influence of his nanny Leonie who he still loves and provides for to this day.
Watching Declan turn into a likable human being under Bailey’s influence and seeing her blossom coming out of the self-protective shell she adopted after her husband’s defection was a joy! Wicked Billionaire is another wonderful Wicked Horse story and one that I will re-read again
ARC provided by author
Declan comes from money, lots of money. Bailey grew up just getting by. Although her family life was filled with love, Declan’s was not. Declan did not know what a parent’s love was. Except from his nanny. She showed him how a child and later an adult should be treated and loved by his family. There was always love in Bailey’s home especially around the dinner table. Declan’s upbringing included expensive vacations, the best education money could buy, but absentee parents. You can everything in the world money can buy but without love you have nothing. Even though Bailey did not grow up with any extravagances she never felt deprived.
From their first meeting in his hotel suite he knew she was different. Yes, they came from different worlds, but Bailey eventually showed him everything he was missing. Their relationship started at the Wicked Horse. A no strings arrangement. Something that would not follow them into the office. By day she was his assistant and by night they engaged at the Wicked Horse. It took a business trip for him to want more. Forgetting about the signed document describing their arrangement they took their relationship outside the club. From their it just grew. Feelings he never thought he could feel for another person started to develop. Fewer nights were spent at the Wicked Horse and more time was spent getting to know each other and falling in love with each other. She became his person. Someone he could trust in his personal life as well as his business.
Wicked Billionaire is an opposites attract love story that will have you glued to every word. Sawyer Bennett once again delivers a story that is HOT HOT HOT and a male character who finally learns what real love is.
