Wicked Fall - Book Review

By Sawyer Bennett

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.

Review

WICKED FALL was a good start to a new series. Woolf isn’t really happy with his lot in life, not really having a choice but to step into the CEO role of his family’s cattle and oil business. He needs an outlet, something else to focus on, so he opens up The Wicked Horse, a country bar and nightclub. But this is merely a cover for the real business operating behind the rear exit doors; The Silo, a private members-only sex club where members can act out their deepest and most wicked fantasies. Woolf and his best friend, Bridger, run the club together and both take full advantage of what their members and staff have to offer.

I loved Woolf’s sense of humour and hearing about some of his past exploits was hot. I did have trouble with how quickly Woolf seemed to change his ways though. He went from having threesomes with Bridger and participating in gang bangs to having a monogamous and almost vanilla relationship with Callie. As soon as she came into the picture, he couldn’t even get excited about another woman. He did struggle with the idea of committing only to Callie and giving up his kinky lifestyle, but it wasn’t much of a struggle. I’m glad his heart realised a good thing in Callie when she came along, but his switch happened a little too quickly for me.

I liked that Callie was pretty open minded when she discovered Woolf’s lifestyle. She didn’t try to change Woolf and she didn’t really try to change herself for him either. But she was curious about what it would take for her to keep a guy like Woolf so she experimented a little with him. I liked that she wasn’t filled with shame after what she did. She did feel a little guilty but Woolf did a great job with explaining the situation and his feelings, and she accepted his words and was able to move on.

After reading the synopsis, I was expecting a lot of dirty, raunchy sex in WICKED FALL, but sadly there wasn’t really much at all. The most erotic scene was the threesome between Woolf, Callie and Bridger and even that was a bit on the weak side, at least for me anyway. There’s plenty of sex between Woolf and Callie, but it’s certainly not filthy or depraved. It was hot and it was fun, but that’s about it. I’m assuming that the raunchy epilogue that involved Cain will lead us into book 2, and maybe Sawyer is slowly building us up to the good stuff for the next books in the series. I can only hope that’s the case.
