This was my first read by this author and she has reeled me in for the long hall. A Little Bit Wicked was an amazing read that pulled you in from the start. I handed my heart over to Justin in the first chapter. This story was full of strong family bonds, fear of heartbreak, smoking hot desire, swoon worthy "Wicked" men and lots of love. I adore Chloe and Justin. It was such a heartfelt journey to their HEA. I cannot wait to see where we go with the rest of the Wicked Family, especially Tank. This is an absolute must read!

They always say that you can't judge a book by it's cover and that is true when it comes to Justin Wicked. Chloe Mallery is looking for the perfect man - she has a list of what she wants and a tattooed, leather wearing motorcycle riding hunk isn't it. While she is friends with Justin she has been trying to find a nice clean cut man to date.
When Justin finally manages to break through Chloe's shell (after 1 1/2 years of being in the friend zone) the sparks fly. It turns out that what's inside is what counts and Justin (aka Maverick) has a heart of gold and is in love with her.
The sparks that fly between these two could light the page on fire and when they finally get to their Happily Ever After it is worth the wait.

I love starting a new series because it's like opening the door to something that elicits a nervous sort of excitement. The thing is, Melissa Foster isn't a new-to-me author, although I've yet to work my way through her entire back list, so I'm familiar with how well she's able to weave these stories that highlight romantic love as much as it does love for family and community. With this series starter, we have a new family but there's that sense of familiarity as well because of the setting and the fact that some have appeared in past books and there are cameos from past couples and characters. Chloe and Justin were well-developed main characters and I adored their story, making me fully invested in their happy ending. All this while my curiosity was piqued about the other Wickeds and Dark Knights of Bayside. Now that's what you call a fab start to a series, and I can't wait for more. Five stars for A Little Bit Wicked.

This was my first Melissa Foster book and really enjoyed it! It had hot men, bikers but good ones, rescued puppies, hot dancing, strong ladies, friendship and a strong family! He has had a crush on her for a long time a year and half, his friends all know about it. He keeps it up so that she notices him over the boring guys she is dating. They find out they have a lot in common and have the family and friends behind them.
I can't wait to go back and read Foster's other series to get some more background. I also can't wait to read more of this series and the Dark Knights!
Overall, 4.5 stars and 3.5 steam
Thanks to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

Oh my gosh, I can’t even begin to describe how much I loved this book!!! Justin and Chloe’s steamy and emotional friends to lovers romance was so freaking good. “A Little Bit Wicked” is the first book in Melissa Foster’s The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside series, and I thought it was beautifully written. I loved that as soon as Justin met Chloe, he knew she was the one for him, and from that moment on, all other women ceased to exist for him. Even though it took him some time to convince her to give him a chance, he didn’t see anyone else. Justin was the swooniest hero; he was kind, funny, and charismatic. And Chloe!!! She was bold, sassy, and sweet; she had a heart of gold and so much love to give, despite the hardships of her childhood. I definitely recommend!

This isn't your typical MC Romance. This story didn't disappoint, it was terrific, and now I'm completely hooked on The Wicked Dark Knights. I adored the steamy romance and the family in it. I loved the honesty, support, and humor. Justin and Chloe's chemistry leaps off the page, as well as their banter. This book has some outstanding life lessons and truths in it. The story was a rollercoaster of emotions from happy to sad to horny and back again. This book has later-in-life characters, a charming bad boy and a confident woman, but neither character is perfect; they are both damaged but perfect together. I hope you enjoy this read as much as I did.
If you enjoyed the Silver Harbor Series, you will love this same author, the same style but different characters. This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone romance. The character map and family relations at the beginning of the book are fantastic for getting to know others we might meet in this book if we haven't read it in order.
Justin Wicked, or Maverick, is a hot-headed, protective man . He has a bad past and a chip on his shoulder, but he loves his adoptive parents and siblings. He has his heart set on his longtime friend Chloe who is an uptown businesswoman.
I like how honest Justin is, living his life in a way he feels good about. He is a protective, strong male with a fantastic group of people around him. The banter between brothers, blood-related and not, is fabulous, sometimes crude, but incredible.
Chloe Mallery is an independent woman still searching for her Mr. Right. She has a bad history with men, specifically bikers. Since then, she has sworn off motorcycle-riding bad boys. What she wants seems to be in front of her face, wrapped in the bad boy packaging.
I love how sweet this bad boy biker is to his girl; everything she needs him to be in that minute, so swoony. Chloe needs to learn to trust her instincts and stop comparing everyone to people she hates. Also, omg, can he flirt? Hopefully, you're not too hot and bothered to keep reading.
Their past comes out, and wow, what a story they both share. Of course, the author brought in the damaged mc trope for both. The erotic book club is fabulous, and the girls are so using those innuendos they could make a mom blush. I love that this story is about the long game in the romance; it isn't now but about forever. This may have had an instant attraction, but it doesn't have instant in the sheets.
This book has some thoughtfully poetic intimacy. This book is more steamy than the Silver Harbor Series. This couple's exuberance jumps off the pages. The sweet moments, the romance, and the thoughtfulness are so swoony. Unfortunately, the honeymoon period ends, but we get the support of a true family. This MC romance gets a taste of drama, but I love how the family comes together. This part of the story is emotional as their lives are tested as well as themselves. This situation would be scary to anyone.
I love how they made it thru, stronger, honest, and full of love. This book ends perfectly.

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from the Author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to Lisa and Melissa for letting me take part in this tour and for my copy of this book. I LOVE Melissa's work and I have been waiting for Justin and Chloe's stories for so long!
We have met both Justin and Chloe in the previous Bayside series books but if you haven't read them it's not important as this is where their stories being and anything you missed is caught up here. I would highly recommend the Bayside (and Melissa's other stories) though as they are fantastic books.
Chloe Mallory is careful, conservative and independent. Chloe has spent her whole life protecting her sister Serena and her past is a real weight on her shoulders. It was so nice to see that weight lifted when she opened up to Justin. Chloe is an easy character to like and I could see myself becoming friends with her and the girls.
Justin, oh Justin Wicked. You intrigued me for so long but now you have my heart. This man is so damn romantic without even trying. He has worked through his past and he is everything you could ever need in a man. He's not perfect but he's damn near close.
This story is full of sweet moments that really tugged at my heartstrings. I absolutely loved joining the Wicked world and I CANNOT wait to read more of their stories!
