Synopsis:

Three friends...three secret desires...three chances to make it all come true.

They're inseparable best friends who delight in sharing their wildest secrets and dares. But their latest bet is the boldest one of all: each must sleep with whomever the other two have chosen for her. And come back with every juicy detail...

WILD
Abby married the town bad boy. And he lived up to his reputation, bedding any woman who let her guard down. She swore off men for good, but never counted on a pair of sexy veterinarians who are fulfilling a desire of their own.

WICKED
Blaire is the town heartbreaker. Afraid to commit, she's broken off three engagements. Yet there's one man she never had the courage to bed. The one man she really loved. But now, the decision is out her hands.

WANTON
Callie is the sensible one....but beneath it all she's a true romantic, with the broken heart to prove it. Now her long-dormant fantasies may be getting a workout. A new man enters her life and everything about him is irresistible.

Wild: Abby has divorced her cheating husband and is looking forward to moving on. She and her friends decide to make this bet about having one wild, wicked, and wanton weekend with the man/men of the others choosing. Abby's friends, Blair and Callie, have chosen Mike and Seth as Abby's weekend bed partners. They have a very wild weekend fulfilling all of Abby's fantasies. This novella is a hot and steamy read, but then again all three of them are. Then the unexpected happens and two of the three fall in love.

Wicked: Blair has been in love with Rand since she was old enough to know the difference between a boy and a girl. But she has been fighting it the entire time due to his dominant ways. Having seen her mother being controlled in every aspect of her life, Blair wants nothing to do with a man who is dominate. All that changes when her friends chose Rand for Blair's wicked weekend. Of course Blair objects to their choice and tries to get them to pick anyone but him. But after spending one night with him, she realizes that she no longer can fight the love she has for him and runs away scared. But Rand isn't going to let her get away that easy.

Wanton: Callie has been widowed for five years and crushing on a customer at her coffee shop for a year and half. Callie believes that he would never notice her due to the fact that he's a lawyer and she runs a coffee shop, and that she's biracial and he's white. So when Jack shows interest she is more than a little surprised. But Callie has a dark secret that not even her two best friends know about. Callie likes to watch. And she's an exhibitionist. After her wanton weekend with Jack, she feels she must end things there due to his career. He has a public image to upkeep and her naughty ways could bring it all crashing down. But Jack has other plans for Callie.

Of the three novels, I have to say that I enjoyed Wicked the most, and Wanton the least. Overall this did end up being a very very steamy read!
