Review: Wicked Fall (Book #1: The Wicked Horse Series) by Sawyer Bennett

Posted on August 6, 2015 by rolopolobookblog

Synopsis:

Never in your wildest dreams could you begin to imagine all the filthy and depraved things that go on inside The Wicked Horse. Step inside and Woolf Jennings will make every one of your dirty fantasies come true.

He’s covered in a facade of deception. An enticing blend of multi-millionaire and hot-as-hell Wyoming rancher, those that think they know Woolf Jennings admire his abilities to preside as CEO of his family’s cattle and oil empire. But only a privileged few truly understand what fuels the glitter of depravity in those gorgeous blue eyes. Only a few know he’s opened up a sinfully erotic and private sex club named The Wicked Horse right at the base of the beautiful Teton Mountain range.

Sweet Callie Hayes has returned home to Wyoming and is looking forward to starting her life over again. After a night of impetuosity, she’s managed to put herself right in Woolf’s line of sight… the man who she foolishly offered up her virginity to years ago and was flatly turned down.

Now Woolf is seeing that Callie is all grown up and has a kinky side to her that leaves him as confused as it does turned on. Worse yet, both Callie’s dirty desires and sweet heart are getting under his skin, and making Woolf question everything he’s ever believed about himself.

My Review:

Are you mother effing kidding me?? Just when I thought Sawyer Bennett couldn’t get any more kinky and depraved (in the good way!) she trots out Woolf, Bridger, Callie, and The Wicked Horse.

Woolf Jennings has absolutely everything a man could want. He is the CEO of a Fortune 100 company, he lives and works on the ranch that has been in his family for generations, and he is in the process of opening his very own ultra-exclusive BDSM club, The Wicked Horse. Unfortunately, Woolf is terribly dissatisfied with his life and looking to make a huge change. Right up to the moment Callie Hayes walked back into his life, Woolf thought that change was The Wicked Horse. Sweet, innocent Callie Hayes is the one girl (woosh, now woman!) Woolf has never allowed himself to have. Years ago she offered Woolf her virginity and in a monumental moment of strength, he walked away. The guilt Woolf would carry for taking Callie’s light, her kindness, her innocence is just too much and so, he continues to deny himself the pleasure that would most certainly be Callie.

Callie Hayes is hell bent on changing her ways. She knew something had to give the moment she walked in on her fiancé tied up, gagged, and being dominated by a lovely local judge. A girl can only take so much and the moment Callie gets back home to Wyoming, she feels like she can breathe again for the first time in years. Gone is doormat Callie, gone are the cute skirts and cardigans, gone is the horrible event planner job, and gone is the adventurous girl that has been kept under wraps for years. First stop, Woolf Jennings bar for a wet T-shirt contest which is going fantastically well right up to the moment Woolf walks back into her life and literally carries her out of the bar. What the actual hell is that??? Woolf Jennings has already broken Callie’s heart once before but if ever there was a man to help her explore her newfound desires . . . . now she just has to convince him.

Every encounter between Callie and Woolf is intense and laden with sexual desire. Woolf puts up a valiant fight to stay away from Callie but her body, her willingness, and her sincerity are a siren’s call he just can’t resist. Callie wants everything Woolf has to offer and more but Woolf is really hesitant to bring Callie over to the Dark Side. Woolf is his own worst enemy with his doubts about his own goodness, his fear about giving up a life and lifestyle he has come to rely on and be comfortable in, and his concern about corrupting Callie. Even scarier, at some point in the process, the sex becomes more than just sex and real feelings become involved.

Just when things are going all kinds of great the sh*t hits the fan. Callie’s daddy, who just happens to be the governor finds out about her relationship with Woolf and forbids any further contact, Woolf’s ultra-exclusive and super-secret club is at least partially outed, Callie’s heart is once again torn apart, and Woolf is completely at a loss without Callie by his side.

The Bottom Line: Wicked Fall has it all!! First and foremost there are the characters. Woolf Jennings: love his name, love his kink, love his heart, love his loyalty, and love him. Bridger: holy Hannah is that one seriously hot man. He is one of the darker characters featured in this read but his darkness isn’t what defines him, it is his uncanny ability to read people. Bridger’s story isn’t anywhere near over yet but what a hell of an introduction. Callie: spunky, determined, intelligent, courageous, and completely committed to her new self. Callie really comes into her own when she begins to open to Woolf about her wants and desires. Second only to the characters is the plot which had me all kinds of invested from page one. There is some dirty sex, some serious drama, some huge life choices, and absolutely no horrible cliffhanger. I am all kinds of in it to the end with this series and am openly admitting that once again, Sawyer Bennett has made me her bitch!!!
