I’m Rye Myles, the keyboardist in the rock band Wycked Obsession. I’ve lost a lot of important stuff in my life. Big stuff. Important stuff. I got over it, moved on, but I never forgot. Now I have the chance to help someone else. I can’t screw up again, and I’m not going to let Minx Townsend go down as another loss. She’s been through hell and survived, and she deserves so much better than me. So … So why do I feel like the only way I can protect her is to get her into my arms…and my bed?

Wynne Roman shows no sign of series fatigue in book five of her Wycked Obsession series, Wycked love.
As heroes go Rye Myles was the stuff that makes readers fan girl. His caring and protective side offset with his bad boy edge was a potent combination. With his unstable upbringing his surprisingly grounded character brought a comfort and peace to his relationship with Minx in his understanding and knowing how to handle her issues helped by his own personal history. His successes in life came from hard work and not allowing his past circumstances to hold him back permitting him to help Minx to move on from her past coupled with his love and devotion. This kind of hero is often seen as too good to be true but Ms. Roman was able to carry it off by showing just enough flaws to knock Rye from any potential pedestals and making him attainable for both Minx and readers alike.
Minx saw a darkness that few could recover from and came back with more power within than she was aware of. Reuniting with Rye was the catalyst for her to start on the road to leaving her past behind and reaching for what she wanted in her life. Minx’s struggles were painful and inspiring to watch, yet her taking ownership of prior events and continually pushing past them for a future free of guilt, pain and low self esteem proved her to be one amazing heroine.
If any couple deserved to walk into the happily ever after zone it was Rye and Minx. With histories, both separate and shared, filled with sorrow and obstacles not an emotion expressed between them felt staged or disingenuous. The devotion in this pair as friends and lovers was touching to watch. The forgiveness and lack of judgment they had for each other worked beautifully in defining their relationship and moving this story forward.
Wynne Roman chose some hard topics to deal with in Wycked Love. What pushed this story to a whole other level was the fact that there was complete transparency and honesty in how this author handled serious issues. This writer expressed every thought, ranging from fear to happiness, as if this story depended on it resulting in a work that made an impressive impact. With lots of expertise and care this author avoided falling into the trap of homogenizing her band members keeping them unique and fresh for her audience. Rye and Minx showed strength in their vulnerability and Ms. Roman extended that trait to each of the key players in this work. As with the previous books in this series this writer seamlessly got into her characters heads and gave her reader’s genuine and personal exposure. As has come to be expected her easy writing style was deceptive in the depth of emotions she expressed. Wycked Love builds upon the accomplishments of Wynne Roman’s sexy Wycked Obsession rockers with another candid and intimate look into the lives that make up this captivating series!

Wycked Again!
Wynne Roman has me completely obsessed with Wycked Obession, her amazing, binge worthy rockstar romance series that will keep your nose buried in her books, reading well into the wee hours. Have you heard of them??? When book 5 landed on my Kindle, I wanted to shout out to the world- ‘Wycked Love’ is finally mine!’ I’m so thrilled to get my hands on the next book in this fantastic, addictive series. It was totally worth the wait to be able to slip into the heart and mind of the real Rye Myles…what a place to be!!!
Rye, been wondering what you’re all about for a long time now! It seems the sexy man behind Wycked’s keyboard has a past with a few hidden chapters and some were quite a… revelation! A summons to his hometown brings Rye face to face with the broken friend he left behind who needs him more than ever. He’s determined to lift her out of that dark place…no one will stand in his way again.
Behind the rockstar persona, Rye is a vigilant protector- a gorgeous, thoughtful, caring one at that. When trouble comes knocking, Minx turns to her knight in black leather on his big, shining Harley. Rye’s always felt like her safe haven and though he may not be aware, her heart has been his since the day they met.
It takes a special kind of man to be what sweet Minx, who struggles with her inner demons, needs after the heartwrenching trauma she’s dealt with in her life. His hot but sweet, take charge alpha side, swoonyworthy sexiness and ‘wicked’ ways will have you tingling from head to toe. Danger from Minx’s past may still be lurking, but will it come to claim the one that got away?
Every book in the Wycked series has a feel and flavor all their own and let me tell you, Wynne Roman doesn’t shy away from steamy, gritty, provocative storylines brimming with raw emotion. I’ve looked forward to savoring every one so far.
Being back with the Wycked Obession family and the ones they love is always the added bonus in these books for me. I love them all!! Even having seen their ups and downs in each of their unique, individual stories, Wynne excels at adding new, exciting dimensions to her established characters in every new book she writes in this wonderful and entertaining series.
When the next Wycked one gets their own story, I’ll be right there waiting again! Make is soon Wynne…PLEEEASE!
My thanks to the author for this complimentary version to read and review in exchange for my honest review.
Wycked Love
To say that Minx had suffered as a teenager is a gross understatement. That little girl’s teen years is what nightmares are made of. This is the fifth book in the series and it’s not the lighthearted love story of book one, two or three. I love Rye he’s such a sweetheart in the way he cares for her. They have chemistry that she try’s very hard to hide, so cute. I love the way this group of people rallied around Minx knowing the dangers she brings to them, they even included her in a band decision making meeting, made me love those guys more. I don’t usually like too much reality in my rockstar romance but this author has done an awesome job of keeping me glued to this story. Minx has had such little love and caring in her life and yet she’s sweet and caring. She has dreams of her own, so strong. This story has made me an emotional hot mess. This was a true love story with an ending that had me misty. I loved this book and I’m giving it five stars and highly recommending it. Now it’s on to book six.
Received a ARC copy of the story..

I highly recommend this super fun, and oh so hot Series of Bad Assed Big Hearted Rockers.
Book 5 tells the story of Rye Miles the very talented Keyboard player for the band Wycked Obsession.. and Minx Townsend his long time but lost friend or is she more??

Minx and Rye overcome some pretty challenging obstacles to find each other again after a long absence from each other’s lives.
You will love the heat and heart of these two characters. So if you like a broken heroine and a big hearted alpha… read on
Run and read this Rocker Romance!
Perfection!!!
What a sweet and simultaneously strong story! The fifth book in the Wycked Obsession series, Wycked Love, got me hooked from line one and, as it constantly happens to me when I read a book by the amazing Wynne Roman, I couldn’t put the book down until the very last word.
Rye is the ultimate book boyfriend. As fierce, loyal and protective as he is strong, sweet, decisive and bold. When he understood the dangerous situation Minx was in, he didn’t hesitate to jump in and make sure that she would be at ease and safe. Rye is not swayed from his true self and values, despite his difficult childhood and the fame and the money he has at his disposal as a member of the Wycked Obsession now, and he is more lovable for that alone. He is what every sane woman would want in a man, so I couldn’t help falling instantly in love with him, and up until the end he was battling for the first place in my book boyfriend list with his fellow bandmate Knox (Book two, Wycked Rumors) (until I decided to just start a book boyfriend ménage – problem solved )
Minx….What can I say about this girl… She started as a fragile, hurt woman only to develop to a strong, grounded one, full of self-esteem. The things this girl endured in her life… the atrocious things she faced and the crappy family (I wanted to strangle her mother and sister)….It was a wonderful journey seeing her, with Rye’s help, resurrect from the ashes and become herself again. So many layers there… And the way the Wycked Obsession family reacted to her addition…So heart melting and swoon worthy…I fell in love with Knox and Baz all over again and I was really intrigued by the glimpses I saw of Zayne and Kel – I can’t wait for their stories.
The range of emotions this story evoked in me is wide. I cried and hurt with Minx, I funned myself (the love scenes, guys…are HOT), I yelled in agony a couple of times, but mostly, I swooned and smiled a lot – the title suits the story to a T.
All in all, it was a great, 5-star read for me. Believe me when I say that you will miss out if you don’t grab it ASAP…
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
Wycked Love is a rock star romance that captures the heart & awakens the soul with an original storyline, a superb writing style, and engaging characters. This is not your cookie cutter rock star novel so be prepared to clear your schedule as you will be unable to put it down once you crack the book open to that first page.
The band Wycked Obsession is back as we finally get Rye’s story and thank goodness because he has been one of the band members that I was most curious about. I fell in love with Rye immediately; enchanting me right from the beginning. He is everything – sweet, tender, protective and all wrapped up in a breathtaking, irresistible, heart-throbbing package.
Minx wasn’t what I was expecting and I mean that in a good way. She is broken, beautifully flawed, and her tortuous past has greatly affected her. As the author reveals all that this girl has endured, it becomes obvious just how resilient she is and how she possesses an inner strength that really becomes apparent during the last half of the novel.
Rye and Minx are perfect together and I really enjoyed witnessing the deep-seated connection between them. It was as though there was a gravitational pull, a magnetic force that drew them together, thus making them stronger.
Wycked Love is an alluring rock star romance complete with well-developed, likable characters and a unique storyline as well as a dash of suspense mixed with a heaping dose of heat. This book is a part of the Wycked Obsession series and it can be read as a standalone. I do recommend reading the previous books as there is some character overlap and also because these books are so entertaining.
