Not a bad ending, but very short. The tiny amount of that was this story, could have easily been added to the last story and only had the two books. This tiny book kind of smacked a bit of greed, so I knocked off a star for that.
Anyhow, I did enjoy the HEA ending Shae finally got with Jasper.
Overall Opinion: This was a good clean conclusion to the trilogy. I feel like the ending was too abrupt, but I personally like a lot of closure in my books (especially in a series). Overall, it was a fun series to read.
Storyline: This is the conclusion of Shae and Jasper's story. It continues where the second book, A Wicked Kiss, left off . We deal with over-eager detectives, ruthless in-laws, and some other drama...but the couple do get their HFN at the end.
POV: This was in Shae's POV.
Overall Pace of Story: Good. Quick read that includes another series at the end for free -- it threw me off because I knew I was getting to the end, and it is was saying it was just at 30%.
H rating: 4 stars. Jasper. He still is a great H in my eyes.
h rating: 3 stars. She remained kind of meh for me.
Sadness level: Low. No tears shed here.
Heat level: Moderate/high. Again, I would still say that the story was primary to the sex-- but there was a lot of it.
Descriptive sex: Yes.
Sex scene with OW or OM:
Cheating:
Possible Triggers:
Closure: This had an abrupt ending for me. I would've loved to have a jump ahead to get a glimpse into their happy future.
Worth the $?: Yes. I love my kindle unlimited! All 3 were included in that subscription.
This the final book in series. Will Shae finally learn the truth surrounding her husbands death and will she find happiness and take a chance on love after all the recent events she has been through.
This final part picks up right where book 2 ends. Shae is struggling with who she can trust and is try to piece everything together in her life. I'm not going to say much about the plot as I really not want to spoil the ending for fans of the series but I will say that I was really happy with the ending.
As with he other parts in the series it was well written and there were still plenty of twists and turn through out the book. There are also plenty of hot scenes throughout. This book did seem shorter than the previous and I did read it rather quickly. I feel that this could have a 2 part series rather than a 3 parter.
Overall a great hot series with a bit of mystery and suspense thrown in.

“I let my hands linger on his broad shoulders as her pushed his hands under the bottom of my shirt, palms skimming over the small of my back and up my spine. His skin was still chilled from being outside.”
4 wicked stars!! This series was off the charts crazy, but crazy good!! M.S. Parker could write the phone book and I’d read it!! I loved this series, just as much as I loved all her others!!

This series is crazy! I fell into this series and I didn’t come out until the end and I loved it!! M.S. Parker has done it again!! She takes a story and just when you think you know where it’s going, she takes a left turn and it goes in a different direction! You definitely need to read this series!! It’s well worth the ride!!

I have to say that I wasn’t aware that this book was a trilogy when I agreed to review it. I didn’t struggle too much with getting into the story despite not having read the other books, but I didn’t connect with the characters and never really felt the need to keep reading. I almost stopped reading because I just wasn’t feeling this book like I normally do, but I finished and was glad that I did.
Shae and Jasper have a strong connection and not having any other background on them I was happy with the way their story came out. I did feel like there was a lot of sex just for the sake of having sex and that it was sort of filler for the story.
I didn't really feel like it was a “thriller” as the cover suggests. There was definitely mystery involved, but I wouldn't ever say that I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. And I can’t say that the outcome shocked me. I kind of figured that the guilty party was guilty the first time I met him/her in the story...and that’s without any other references from previous books.
Overall, I would say that Ms. Parker is a decent author and the story was okay. I don’t often leave reviews like this because I feel like I will deter others from reading a book they may really enjoy...and I might have felt differently had I read the rest of the trilogy.
A Wicked Truth jumps right back into the chaos - Shae is being wrongly accused of murder and things are looking bleak. Logic is telling her not to trust Jasper but her heart and her instinct have her believing that he is who she needs to turn to. However, thanks to all of the events in her life recently, she has no clue if she can even trust herself. Or how to get herself out of the situation she finds herself in.
I thought the conclusion to this series was AWESOME!! The author wraps up Shae and Jasper's story well and I was psyched to have found this series.
Overall, I thought it was a fast paced and thrilling set of books - a must read for fans of romantic suspense novels. The author's plot was complex and interesting with seriously seductive characters. Each moment pulls you into the next and before you know it, you've devoured the entire book.
A Wicked Truth is not a standalone - you need to read A Wicked Lie first and then A Wicked Kiss to understand all that is going on in this final installment. I highly recommend you get caught up on this highly erotic suspense series - then you will understand why I was consumed with Shae and Jasper's romance. It is a must read set and I suggest you get it today.
Wickedly painful. Book 1 was interesting up until Shae slept with Jasper. Book 2 was just a Shae/Jasper sexfest . Book 3 was bizarre. It was supposed to wrap up this "thriller" but it wound up like a Scooby and Friends mystery. I was waiting for Velma to pop out and announce that it was the old caretaker who killed Allen. Rut roh. It was less than thrilling and the story was terribly weak.
WOW! Loved it. A good plot, lots of hot sex (which I happen to like reading about), so yes, if you're looking for some entertaining reading, this is a series that is worthwhile. For any more flattering reviews, read the others. Here again, this author (like so many others) has a problem with 'to lie' and 'to lay' in all its various forms. It does not really vouch for the competence of the editors that these errors are not detected. Such a pity. But still, I liked it and what I especially liked is the fact that this series gives a good insight in the way in which the USA judicial system (unfortunately) functions. Money rules this system and the 'Nobodies' are the immediate victims.
This three book series was great had you thinking that they were together then something else would happen to keep them apart. True love always wins in the end.
I Read these three books, A Wicked Lie, A Wicked Kiss, and A Wicked Lie as a bonus after reading M. S. Parker's Love and Honor...another great trilogy. While I had no clue what I was about to read but having just read through the "Honor" series I figured, why not? No disappointment! The story takes off at the jump with A Wicked Lie and you just can't stop until you figure out who or how? And the erotica was a perfect fit. I thoroughly enjoyed! Cheers to M. S. Parker!
I love this author. Ever since I stumbled upon one of her naughty serial series, I have become addicted. Each time she has a new release, I am first in line to grab and review. Her books are crazy hot, sexy, intense, and always full of suspense. This new series... definitely the BEST of her work by far in her writing career. This is book three... the final one in the series... the last piece of the puzzle.
This book rocked it's a$$ off. Full of intensity and passion, this author takes us on a whirlwind ride that will leave you breathless and wanting to throw your kindle. While I write this, I admit I've already read all three books in this series and I promise this is one series you do not want to miss out. Get ready for one crazy ride that will leave you with one happy ending that will have you smiling.
This is the third and final installment of Shae's story. Picking up where book two left off, suspicions are high and Shae doesn't know who to trust. While her heart may now belong to Jasper, too many coincidences and questions are swirling around to listen to it. Will Shae be able to finally find out what happened to her husband? Will she finally give Jasper a chance to share what he knows and use him to lean on? Will she get answers to all the questions she has? Will she be able to prove her and Jasper's innocence once and for all? Will her past ever be able to settle down and allow her to once again find her happy ending? This book will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
This is the 3rd and final book in the book in the Wicked Series and should be read in order.
Just when Shae Lockwood thought she had everything figured out, her world comes clasping down on her again. Will Shae ever know the truth about her late husband’s death and if Jasper Whitehall had anything to do with it or will it be too late?
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
When Shae found Allen medical records all her doubts about herself and her relationship with Jasper came back. How could she possibly love a man who would put her through something devastating like this again? Well this is just the beginning of all that Shae was going to have crashing down on her. They say when it rains, it pours and for Shae Lockwood it was a torrential down pour leaving her with the question of, who can she count on? Jasper had been in love with Shae since he met her but she belonged to his best friend. After everything she has put him through, he still loves her. That kind of love doesn’t come around often but Shae was lucky enough to find it twice. This was truly a roller coaster ride of emotions and twist that had you wondering if you really knew what was truly going on. Half way through the book I was left with more questions than answer and second guessing myself as to what I thought I knew. MS Parker out did herself with this series by keeping it hot and sexy mixed with some suspense added. It’s a definite favourite of mine.

This has been like spending a day in an amusement park. Up, down, shaken, stirred, crying, emotional, HOT (and not from the Sun) ... unrelenting.
Did Allen really commit suicide? Was Jasper involved even more than he is willing to admit? Is someone being set-up to take the fall here? Let's face it, there is a lot of motive going around.
Although Shae is telling the story, I have to admit, I thought we might get an Agatha Christie moment here and the world would turn upside down. Close!
If you have been reading this series you know we were left with a humdinger of a cliffhanger in Book #2. Shae takes no prisoners attitude does not mix well with the police who are hellbent in finding her guilty. Not only is she getting over Allen's death, dealing with her emotions toward Jasper, and dealing with all the litigation from her ex-in-laws, now she must keep finding out more and more about Allen's state of mind and decisions before his tragic death.
Things are nebulous and may not be as they seem. Who is setting this up? There must be an outside force trying to put the blame of Allen's death on Shae. MUST read this book to find out! BTW, Jasper is a hottie after all! Talk about hidden secrets!
A Wicked Truth is one of those stories that just keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time that your reading it. I was so captivated by this story from the moment that I started reading the very first book and was unable to put it down. M.S. Parker really has outdone herself this erotic thriller is something that is a little different from what she normally writes, definitely outside of the box but it was nothing less than pure genius.
A Wicked Truth will captivate you from the very beginning Shae is still fighting to determine what happened to her late husband Allen, coming to the realization that she must move on with her life now that he is gone. Jasper Whitehall has been a huge part of Shae's ability to move on and her love for Allen and Jasper both. This book is fully of suspense, action, drama, some incredibly hot and steamy sex scenes, M.S. Parker will bring you to your knees with the emotions she evokes in this book.
It is an absolutely incredible read if you have not had a chance to download this book do not wait any longer you don't know what your missing!
WOW after that cliffy from book 2 I am wondering what can top it ?? Shae has been arrested and here she was thinking she was going to point fingers at Jasper ?? What is a widow to do when everything she thinks ends up wrong and what she feels cannot be trusted. I don't envy Shae at all , despite the super hot and sexy Jasper , her life is a whirlwind of unknowns and suspense. The ex girl , the child , the in laws , the brother , the best friend , the lawyer , the detectives and the crazy secretary !! There is a long list of crazies in this story and you just don't know where to file them , friends , enemies or more. In this fast paced conclusion to the series will Shae find out what really happened to Allen and why ?? What will come of all the findings thus far and most importantly what will happen with Shae and Jasper ? Absolutely not spoiling this story but if you have been following the series you know you have to read and find out !! If you love this author's work this will be a must read as well and if you love a fast paced sexy suspense filled story look no further.
WOW!!! This conclusion is…..wow! Love M.S. Parker! She’s one of my top 10 favorite authors!!! The twist and turns continue through most of this book all concluding into a fantastic ending to a fantastic series.
Shae and Jasper. Just amazing. Such deep amazing characters and wonderful people. They are flawed and they have problems. They have made mistakes and they hurt just like normal people. Which is what makes this series and the writing by Ms. Parker so spectacular! Her characters are real and honest. They are happy and sad; troubled and excited. It makes for such great reading that you can put yourself in the place of the characters and feel what they feel. It’s like you are experiencing all of this. When Shae watched her husband die, I was right there with her. When she got arrested I seriously felt like it was me.
What will happen to Jasper & Shae? Will she be set free? Can they make a life together even with everything that has happened? Will they both free themselves of the guilt they feel at being together?
WOW WOW WOW what an amazingly good series and final book. This series sure kept me on the edge of my seat with anticipation with what was coming for Shae and Jasper and every time I thought things were finally going to work out for them, my hopes were kicked back down again.
I feel so bad for Shae, not only has she lost her husband but the cops and her ex in laws think that she did it, and the cops will not leave it alone, they keep coming back asking her what happened that day over and over again. Shae finds things that her to think that Jasper may of had a hand in why her husband killed himself she turns all the information over to the police, but again the police come after her. When we finally learn what really happened it will leave you in absolute shock, and you will find yourself rooting for Jasper and Shae to finally be able to be together and have what they have found together.
Cannot wait for MS Parkers next read, her writing never ceases to amaze me
I was pulled right into this story. This is a 3 part story so be prepared to get all 3 parts. The story has laughs, suspense, secrets, naughty fun, and heartbreak. This author knows how to suck you in and keep you coming back for more.
If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first A Wicked Lie (Wicked, #1) A Wicked Kiss (Wicked #2)

TITLE: A WICKED TRUTH SERIES: THE WICKED SERIES - BOOK 3 AUTHOR: MS PARKER
Wow! This is one story you won't want to miss, MS Parker has woven a wicked tale and what a tangled web it has turned out to be! Overall series rating 4.5 Stars, this section of series 4 stars. I enjoyed this series but I have to admit the third part and resolution of the series was a little bit predictable and therefore a let down, I knew who was behind it all by end of part 2 so this portion of the serial was like a repeat unveiling - anticlimactic.
However, the romance and sexy times were off the chart and and I really have grown attached to Shae & Jasper - maybe we will see them again in a related Serial.
This is the third and final installment of Shae's story. Picking up where book two left off, suspicions are high and Shae doesn't know who to trust. While her heart may now belong to Jasper, too many coincidences and questions are swirling around to listen to it. Will Shae be able to finally find out what happened to her husband? Will she finally give Jasper a chance to share what he knows and use him to lean on? Will she get answers to all the questions she has? Will she be able to prove her and Jasper's innocence once and for all? Will her past ever be able to settle down and allow her to once again find her happy ending? This book will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
A Wicked Truth is the conclusion to the Wicked Series, and I LOVED it! You must read the first two books in this series to even remotely understand what's going on.
Shae Lockwood decides to take evidence to the police that makes her new love Dr. Jasper Whitehall look guilty. Imagine her shock, that she ends up getting arrested instead for the murder of her late husband. The storyline is fast paced, and very exciting, with suspense is at an all time high, keeping my heart racing the whole time. M.S. Parker is very talented at weaving layers together, then slowly revealing the truth in ways that makes it extremely hard to know what's actually going to happen. She wraps Shae and Jasper's story with a bang, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I freaking loved this series and A Wicked Truth is the conclusion and couldn't have been any better. There was a point in time in book 2 I thought I knew who was behind everything that was going on then second guessed it because of another twist. But book 3 gives you all the answers you have been waiting for from the beginning.
Shae is being accused of Murder, she doesnt know if she can trust Jasper just drama and questioning everything is what this book is about. But Shae starts putting the pieces together so her and Jasper can get to the bottom of it all and move on with their lives. I'm a sucker for M.S. Parker books and this series is no different.
Ready for more of M.S. Parker and cant wait to see what she comes up with next.
After being arrested with Allen's murder despite handing the police information about Jasper that shows he may have had a bigger part to play in his death. Shae is reeling and having not changed a word of her story. But after a dream {which had me crying} she realises that she couldn't be more wrong but has the damage already been done? Will Jasper be able to forgive Shae? Just who was behind the sending of the letter, email and who swapped out the medical records and will her pesky in laws ever leave her be?
Was hooked from start to finish and have to say you will need the tissues again.
I have loved this series since the first book, A Wicked Lie. I rated the first two books at 5 stars. This one fell a little flat to me. I had a guess at the end of the second book who was behind things happening and I was right. The whole issue with the Lockwood’s was anti-climactic to me.
This is still a great read, don’t get me wrong. I love Jasper and Shae. Parts were just way too predictable for me.
I don’t want to post much more because I don’t want to give anything away.
A great ending to a great series!! M.S. Parker writes the best series and I'm NEVER disappointed!! Poor Shae loses her husband in what she thinks is an accident. But, it wasn't or was it? Shae turns to Allen's best friend Jasper, for comfort and she finds out Jasper has loved her all along. That's where one of the problems begin....police think Shae and Jasper plotted Allen's death. This book has many twist and turns and you must read the last book in this series to find out if Shae goes to jail for murder or do Shae and Jasper get a happy ending?!
