Wicked Desire: A Lesbian Romance

by Reba Bale

They were rivals in high school. Now they’re forced to work together—and sparks are about to fly.

Grace
I’ve hated Nicole since we were kids. Our families have been business rivals forever, and she’s always gotten under my skin. Now, thanks to a massive real estate deal in Chicago—and our meddling parents—we’re being forced to work together. We’ve got a strict deadline, sky-high stakes, and zero patience for each other. What could possibly go wrong?

Nicole
Grace is all sharp edges and icy glares—and somehow hotter than ever. She’s always made it clear she doesn’t like me, and to be honest, the feeling was mutual. Until it wasn’t. When she proposes an “enemies with benefits” arrangement, I know it’s a bad idea... but saying no has never been my strong suit around her.

Now we’re sneaking off on private jets, sharing secret beach getaways, and blurring every line we swore we wouldn’t cross. Under the weight of family expectations and years of pretending, I’m finally starting to embrace who I really am. But when the deal’s done, will Grace go back to her own side of the city -- and take my heart with her?

This is business. It’s definitely not love. Except… it might be.

4 stars. Grace and Nicole were enemies in high school and now, years later they’re working on a project at work together. A very nice and sexy enemies to lovers. I liked both characters and it was easy to understand both ladies points of views during the third act breakup. I sympathized with both of them and the scene of them getting back together was good, Theo was the MVP for concocting that little plan. Overall, I really liked this and I also enjoyed the cameos from book one. I’m really enjoying this series so far.

This is a surprisingly sweet love story.

Reba Bale has a way with words that sometimes leaves me very hot and bothered and other times leaves me with tears of joy in my eyes. Then there are times I am just “yikes that is so good”! Yeah, this one is one of those. The characters grow on you like moss and the story gets under your skin. Coming out later in life is difficult at best, for these two women, it was horrifying yet beautiful. Thank goodness for meddling friends.

Nice little story in the Sapphic Billionaire Club series. It is a well-established trope in lesbian fiction of the rival-to-lover in this story, but done in a unique enough way to where it feels original someway. That said, there were quite a few little technical errors and grammar mistakes I wouldn't have thought I'd find if I weren't such a grammar king like I am. That definitely needs to be addressed for future series and releases.
