Release Blitz & Review: Wicked as Seduction: Trees & Laila Part 1 (Wicked & Devoted #5) by Shayla Black

 

Wicked as Seduction by Shayla Black is now live!

He'll protect her...even if he has to take her captive to save her.

Tech wiz and former elite soldier Forest "Trees" Scott had one mission: Rescue the woman being hunted by a vicious cartel and get her to safety. It should have been simple...but the minute he sees the wary beauty with haunted eyes, his desire for her complicates everything. So does her stubborn refusal to trust him. When Trees is forced to abduct her, she vows to hate him--even as he finds himself falling in love...

For six years, Laila Torres has known nothing but brutality at the hands of men, so when the massive stranger with the forbidding mien kidnaps her, she's frightened--and furious. But the giant's protective care shocks her. With every word, he proves steadfast. With every forbidden touch, he awakens the woman in her. Soon, she's facing the terrifying realization that he's also dangerously close to capturing her heart.

But their ruthless enemies are closing in, threatening everything Laila holds dear. When she's forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice, will she trust Trees and their love to save her?

 What I thought about Wicked as Seduction

It's been a while since I've read Shayla Black's Wicked books, but there are just some characters you never forget. I was immediately hooked by the mention of Hunter and Logan, two of my favorite unforgettable characters.   And Kimber too!  I really liked that this story connected with these characters.

Trees is tasked with taking care of Laila, one of two sisters the security firm is hired to protect.  Except there is a mole in the organization, and suspicion is on Trees and his best friend's girlfriend.

And in the middle of all of that is Laila.  She's tough as nails because she had to be, and she really doesn't trust anyone but herself and her sister. But when the people chasing her down get too close, she has no other choice than to stick with Trees.

Trees quickly goes from frustration to lust and back to frustration as he and Laila get closer. At first I was a bit perplexed as to why Trees was basically lusting after Laila  (not really professional) but it was also a bit cute (he doesn't do anything inappropriate) -- he just falls and falls hard. 

I liked the relationship between Trees and Laila, especially how he tempers his dominant side due to Laila's past.  Things still get plenty steamy and there's a few twists that I didn't see coming. Overall, I liked this and I'm looking forward to seeing how things turn out between Trees and Laila and the rest of the gang.
