Belong to Me (Wicked Lovers, #5)
by
And Logan. Wow…
So, anyway, I had no idea I’d love Logan as much as I do. Alpha? Oh, yeah! But not stupidly so. He was able to see and appreciate Tara’s abilities and while he absolutely wanted to protect her, he didn’t smother her. And his unconditional love felt so real to me.
The bottom line - Belong to Me had action, romance, holy hell hot BDSM scenes and a hero and heroine I could actually care about. The only thing missing was Jack (*sigh*) Cole. Despite some eye rolling moments and twists that felt somewhat forced, my faith has been restored in this series and I can’t wait for the next book, Mine to Hold, when we finally get – THANK YOU, SHAYLA BLACK – Tyler’s story!!!

She'd never required someone for her next breath the way she did Logan in that moment. God, she'd been hoping to bring them both closure, but now he felt like a part of her... so necessary to her existence.Finally! Finally!! I was beginning to think it would never happen in the Wicked Lovers series, but Shayla Black finally gave me a heroine who was completely and totally worthy of the hero! Sure, Tara had her moments of insecurity and doubt, but she didn’t have those gawd awful annoying, “I belong to no man…” yadda, yadda, yadda, moments that the women in the previous books had. She’s an intelligent woman who, when she started having doubts about him, took the time to think things through and was willing to give Logan a chance to prove or explain himself. She was secure enough in herself and her abilities that she didn’t have to fight him at every opportunity to prove she was as smart, or as strong, or as capable as anyone else. Can I just tell you how refreshing that is, especially in this series?
And Logan. Wow…
"I'll try to keep my inner caveman at bay..."Hey, baby, don't hold back on my account! Just sayin'...

Great review :D
Jack (*sigh*) Cole was in the last book, though. I mentioned him, a lot, in my review.
Don't be surprised to see so much mention of Jack *sigh* Cole.
I hope you enjoy it!!
Yes, this particular book can be read OoO, Lacy. You might hear or meet characters from previous books, but there's nothing plot wise you'd lose by not reading the others.
These books are not standalones, but they are not so tightly connected that you have to read them in order. What you'd miss is the relationship building/HEA of the earlier characters and the friendships, etc... but other than that I don't think they need to be read in order.
That said, book 1, Wicked Ties, is one of my very favorite erotic reads... not so much books 2 and 3. 4 is pretty good and then of course I really enjoyed 5.
Hope that helps!!!
The next two books... I loved both Luc and Deke in book 1, so I had such high expectations for their stories. They were okay. Not horrible if you can ignore their stupid OTT alpha asshole lame actions. But I'm probably in the minority on the way I feel about them. But I still rated them fairly high for how annoying the heroes were :)
I can hardly wait to read logan's story. You made me really curious :) i'm starting the book right now!
Thank you! Mwah!
Soooooo glad you loved it!
