Wicked Secret (Wicked Horse Vegas, Book #8)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: May 26, 2020
Synopsis:
Those that truly know August Greenfield, will tell you that I live my life to the fullest. Work hard as part of the team at Jameson Force Security but play just as hard at The Wicked Horse Vegas. I have no regrets about my life.
Well, maybe just one.
Leighton Hale was my first love and the woman I wanted to spend my life with, but one day she was just gone. Vanished without a trace. Even my extensive contacts as part of the team at Jameson left me empty-handed in my search for answers. My single remorse is never being able to find out what happened to her, because no matter how difficult the truth may be, it can’t be as bad as never knowing at all.
Ten years later, a knock on my front door brings me face-to-face with the woman I thought I’d never see again and nothing in my life could have prepared me for the secrets she holds.

Review by Trinette Dungee
It’s been almost a year since we’ve visited The Wicked Horse Vegas and this visit is no less hot, no less steamy, no less erotic than any other visit.
August Greenfield opened his door in the early morning hours to see the one person who captured and broke his heart at the same time, but Leighton Hale’s return isn’t random. She needs August’s help and it’s a request he can't turn down.
While August and Leighton work to resolve a life of death situation he introduces her to a world she’s never seen before at the Wicked Horse Vegas. Leighton’s introduction to Wicked Horse was shocking to say the least but at the same time very intriguing. Her eyes have been open to more desire and sensuality than she ever thought existed. The attraction between the two has never been stronger and while each is trying not to get too attached, it’s comically pointless. August not only introduces Leighton to the world of Wicked Horse, but he also introduces her to the world of his career as he uses his Jameson background and connections to resolve their issues. Leighton’s reasons for coming to August have nothing to do with his law enforcement background, it just so happens that his background can keep Leighton and her family safe.
The chemistry between August and Leighton is on point. Although after their first “encounter”, I wanted to slap August upside his head. He was just being a rude ass. He may have been justified, but I still wanted to smack him. Leighton was no innocent either. Although I totally understood her reasons for not reaching out to August, I can’t help but to feel the situation was dire enough that a way could have been made for it to happen. With that being said, I like and connected with both characters immediately; actually with all of the characters. Even Leighton’s dad; there were a few moments where I felt really bad for him.
It’s no secret that I love Sawyer and thinks she's an absolute genius and this book can be added to the list of reasons why I think that. She has seamlessly managed to straddle two worlds in this book. Not only do we get a Wicked Horse story, but we also get a Jameson Security story. This is not the first time she’s done this but, in my opinion, it’s the first time we see almost equal parts of each series. You get the intrigue, mystery, and danger of Jameson; the eroticism, the kink, and the passion of Wicked Horse and you get the love and romance of both.
As always you get a taste of what’s to come. For Wicked Horse we get to meet the charming billionaire, Declan Blackwood and for Jameson we get closer to learning more about Malik Fournier.
