Paige HamiltonI’ve loved Noah Dexter from the first day I met him. He was even mine for a little while, my high school boyfriend. Then he hurt me clear through to my soul. Another girl seduced him into a lifestyle of sharing and threesomes, and I had to walk away to save myself. Now, five years later, it’s Noah who saves me, but can I trust him? His reputation says no, but my heart wants to … wants to believe that he can understand what he did to me all those years ago and not hurt me that way again.
Noah Dexter
I’m a manwhore with one hell of a reputation. The drummer for the rock band Wycked Obsession, I’ve lived a life of fame, parties, and women. Lots of ‘em, and most of the time, two girls at once. I’m known for it. But all that is getting old, making me jaded, coming back to haunt me with accusations of STDs and knocking up some chick I don’t even know. When I get a chance to help my high school girlfriend, Paige Hamilton, I take it gladly. She’s the only girl I ever wished I could have kept, and maybe if I can help her, it’ll give me—us—a second chance.
This is an adult rock star romance intended for mature audiences. Not appropriate for readers under 18.
No cliffhangers. Guaranteed HEA. Book 3 in the Wycked Obsession series, the beloved fantasy of romance between hot rock stars and the ordinary women who love them. While this is a stand-alone romance, your reading experience may be enhanced by starting with the first two book in the series, Wycked Crush and Wycked Rumors (in that order).

Can’t say enough about this rock star series. Each book features a different member of the rock group Wycked Obsession. And that’s what these books are, an obsession. You read one. Then just want the next and the next!
Wycked Escape is a great second-chance rockstar romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. This is Paige’s and Noah’s story. The prologue sucked me right in and left my heart breaking for Paige. The author did a great job of making it easy for me to put myself into her shoes. Noah is known for his threesomes f/m/f and the only detailed encounter that the author depicts is in the prologue and the rest of the book is m/f only. You may feel a bit uncomfortable while reading it because you can really experience Paige’s feelings.
Paige was Noah’s high school sweetheart and things did not end well after they participated in a menage that Noah instigated. A chance encounter with Noah 5 years later brought up old, unresolved feelings – good and bad. She is a likable character and handles the rumor situations that she is thrown into pretty well. The only issue that I had with her was that she so quickly heavily leaned on him, accepted him into her life, and appeared to trust him given how she didn’t see him in 5 years after things ended poorly between them. I expected her to be more cautious.
I had been curious about Noah since reading the previous two books. He is known for threesomes and never having a girlfriend aside from Paige, yet he cannot help but be pulled back into Paige’s orbit. Noah is a character that I want to dislike, but couldn’t help but love. He was a self-center jerk when he was younger and you wonder if he could really change. I love how through all of this he really puts the people he loves before himself – the band, his bandmates and their significant others, and Paige. The two of them make a great couple and you can see how the two of them would be drawn towards each other.
This book is told from a dual POV which I enjoyed as it was nice to get to see both sides of the story. There a couple of flashbacks towards the beginning that help give the reader insight into their past relationship that are clearly marked in the book. *Trigger warning: one of them involves an attempted rape* Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I loved both main characters and enjoyed seeing some of the band members as well. There was a bit of action towards the end and the story moved at a good pace. This book can be read as a standalone although I do recommend reading the previous 2 books as there is some overlap.
Wycked Escape
Noah is the sexy drummer of the band but he’s also self proclaimed manwhore which the tabloids don’t dispute. Paige was his high school sweetheart and the only girl he ever really loved. Their breakup in high school left Paige heart broken and with insecurities that seem to be in her face again. I like Paige and the fact that she’s into some of my favorite oldies had me smiling. Noah is kind and so sweet to Paige, I love their chemistry and I can’t stop reading this book. I love that Noah has all these rules like no spending the night, women not allowed at his home, no cuddling, and the list goes on but one minute in Paige’s company and he breaks every single rule. I find it so damn cute. From book one and two Noah seemed to be the sensitive voice of reason with sad eyes so I couldn’t stop reading because I want to know what caused that and why the threesome when he loved Paige so much? At the same time I’ve reading slower because I don’t want to miss a single nugget of this tasty story, there’s lots going on. The only thing I found disappointing was Noah’s attitude about the things he’s done, I could forgive his teenage years but by now the whole essence thing was lame. Still the ending was good and and now I’m ready for the next book.
