Thank you to Grey's Promotions for sending me an ebook Advanced Readers Copy for me to read and leave an honest review.

------------------------------------------------------

The Wicked Truth (The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside) is the fourth book in Melissa Foster's series, and is the third read for me in this series with the exception of book two, The Wicked Aftermath.

I had an absolute blast reading book three, Crazy, Wicked Love , so you bet I was hyped up for book four with the story of Tobias Riggs and Madigan Wicked. We got to meet Madigan in book three and I could tell right then and there, that when she got a story all of her own, it was going to be a knockout read. That includes whoever she was going to be paired up with. Enter, Tobias Riggs.

As outlined in the blurb, we were promised a story that was full of all things scorching-hot, laugh-out-loud, swoon-worthy and sexy. Boy did Melissa deliver on those promises! After talking with a fellow reader about this book, I posed the question on how Melissa manages to make each book hotter than the last. I didn't need an answer, because there isn't one. Melissa manages to do it and this one was so hot, cheeks were fanned, people. Cheeks. Were. Fanned. On a scale of one-to-scorching hot, Tobias and Madigan were at level: inferno.

Speaking of Tobias, let's talk about our leading man. Not a familiar face to the series, Tobias was a brand new addition to Bayside and to us. His character is the perfect example of a redemption arc. A misunderstood man, unfortunate circumstances and many personal hurdles, Tobias has an uphill battle when it comes to meeting something--or rather, someone--whom he never saw coming. Madigan. Madigan is everything Tobias can ever have out of life, out of someone who is perfect for him, but his past is dictating how his head and heart operate now. As does Madigan's. The two are alike in many ways, which is one of many reasons the two work so well together. And they know it.

The two together create amazing heat. Perhaps I'll even go so far as to say that these two are the hottest pair I've read about in the series so far. Sparks quite literally flew from the page and once again, as I've done before when reading a Melissa Foster novel, lips were being bitten. Unfortunately for me and unlike Madigan, it wasn't a man doing it.

When we first met them, neither Tobias or Madigan were open to the option to love another, but as many things were thrown their way and their journey progressed through the novel, perhaps the two were hasty to put that out there to one another. Love always finds a way to worm its way into the most resistant and stubborn of hearts, and the tale written for these two to get them towards admitting feelings for one another--and towards a Happily Ever After--was entertaining till the very last page.

Not even their pasts--one even as dark as Tobias'--could get in the way of fate, love, and the destiny these two were meant to careen together towards.

The Wicked Truth is once more a shelf-worthy book, and I truly hope that people give it--Tobias and Madigan--a chance. I'll be seeing these two again sometime very soon.

Five stars!
