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?
Customer Reviews
Steamy and Emotional
4.5 Stars for Wicked as Seduction : Trees & Laila Part 1 (Wicked & Devoted #5) If you love erotic, romantic suspense look no further that Forest “Trees” Scott and Laila Torres story. Trees is a tech genius and although he does have the skills to protect and act as a bodyguard he wasn’t prepared for his new assignment guarding Laila. From the moment these two meet sparks fly, an instant attraction could put both their life’s in danger so will lines be crossed in this emotional, steamy, captivating tale. Laila has built walls around herself and on the face of it she comes across as a woman scared of her own shadow but this is a woman that when the chips are down and her life is threatened she finds a determination and strength to save herself. But will she allow Trees to see the side of her life she has chosen to put in the back of her mind, will she ever trust enough to love ….. As you would expect from a duet this book does end with a cliffhanger, it’s an emotional journey that’s full of twists and turns and I understand Book 2 is not far away so we won’t have long to wait for the conclusion to Trees and Laila’s journey. I haven’t read every book in the Wicked & Devoted Series so I can honestly say, this book can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone. Looking forward to what’s to come for this couple
