About this ebook

A captivatingly funny and deeply emotional romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. When the Dark Knights at Bayside and the cast of Bayside Summers collide, sparks fly, and trouble—or maybe love—is not far behind. . 

Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven't met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. Their stories are told in the same loving, passionate voice readers have come to adore from Melissa. Some of the Wickeds’ love stories will be hilariously fun, others will tear at your heartstrings with injections of humor, but they will all leave you wishing you could climb between the pages and join them!

In USA Today Bestseller A LITTLE BIT WICKED

What do a cocky biker and a businesswoman who has sworn off dating bad boys have in common? According to Chloe Mallery, not much. But she couldn't be more wrong...

Now he’s ready to show the woman he loves exactly what type of man he is. But Chloe has worked hard to move past her difficult upbringing, and she's wary of getting involved with a man who looks like he's walked right out of it. When tragedy strikes, will their trying pasts draw them together, or will Justin’s protective nature be too much for Chloe’s independent heart to accept?

Buckle up for a spectacular ride, and fall in love with Justin and Chloe, in A Little Bit Wicked, a fun, sexy standalone romance.

Ratings and reviews

A Little Bit Wicked is a new series by Melissa Foster. If you are familiar with her books you will see some characters from other books in this book. A Little Bit Wicked is the story of Justin and Chloe. Justin has has his eye on Chloe form the first time he saw her. But Chloe's past makes her to scared to allow herself to see that Justin is more than the motorcycle he rides. Chloe thinks she wants a safe business suit wearing guy. But when Chloe discovers that Justin is more than meets the eye, she finds he is a loving and caring man who puts his family and friends first. And he really has a gentle and romantic heart. As always a Foster book has great characters. Justin made me swoon and Chloe's love of helping others was perfect. The story was very good. The only thing is it dragged on a bit in the middle and there were so many people in the story that I got a little lost in the beginning. I am looking forward to reading more stories about The Dark Knights.

Chloe and Serena Mallery had a rough upbringing. As the older sister, Chloe had to be the “mother”. Although their mother was there, she wasn’t “present”. She didn’t do all of the normal things a mom does—cook, clean, protect her children. She was more interested in finding a man—not always a good man. Chloe endured many late nights standing guard over her sister and herself after one too many advances by her mom’s “bad, biker men”. So, Chloe erected walls around her heart and vowed never to fall for a “bad, biker guy”. She has dedicated her life to developing programs for the elderly at the assisted living center where she works. Justin Wicked was raised by a thieving dad who was convicted of murder and sent to jail. Justin bounced around several foster homes before landing with the Wicked’s. The Wicked’s took Justin in and surrounded him with love. They let him be himself, work out his anger, while continuing to love and support him. They had his back—like a real family should. As a Dark Knight, Justin and the other members, committed to helping the community right wrongs. If they had to fight to help others, so be it. Although Justin flirted with Chloe for over a year, he knew he’d have to prove himself worthy. Justin vowed to win over his “Uptown Girl”. Justin is EVERY girl’s dream—a little bit of danger mixed with a whole lot of sexy! Justin is creative, HOT, kind, and generous. He stands up for the “little guy or dog”. He’s rough, but handles those he loves with care and kindness. I loved the vision of his sculpture and all of the heart put into creating such amazing, meaningful pieces of art. I loved the older women who encouraged Chloe to step out of her comfort zone and LIVE life. Although Justin makes mistakes, he makes them out of love. Family is everything and it was VERY heartwarming when the Wicked’s welcomed Chloe and her sister into the fold. The rescue dogs also touched my heart. I highly recommend this novel. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

Melissa Foster is one of my favorite authors and for books never disappoint!! Both Justin and Chloe had hard childhoods. Justin was saved when he was put into foster care with the Wickeds, who are also part of the Dark Nights biking club. Chloe was not so fortunate, basically raising her sister, Serena, and protecting her from their mothers many boyfriends. The love, trust, and loyalty of family and friends is what Chloe will find behind the tattoos and biker gear from Justin, once She finally lets her walls down. The Chemistry that Ignites between these two is amazing. I laughed and cried with them as they bare their hearts to eachother, and find their soul mate. I recieved this book as a free ARC, and am voluntarily leaving a review
