Wicked Bad

Rate this book
From New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, Book 2 in the Wicked series.
Harrison Abbott was born with a silver broomstick in her hand. Heiress and good witch extraordinaire. She's sick of it. She longs to be human, normal like her friend Callie. Or, uh, as normal as Callie ever gets.

She thought running away would be an adventure, but three months playing human has given her a new point of view. Just as she's ready to return home the real adventure begins. In short order, she's attacked, saved, kidnapped and seduced.

Jacob and Ric are convinced that Harrison is their destined third. If they can convince her they won't use her as a sexual chew toy, or a social stepping stone. Before they can make her beg for the match, she needs to know the truth about who tried to kill her.

Hard as it might be on their Magian male pride, they might have to let her go, trusting that in the end, she'll choose them.

They were her Triune. Shit.

I liked it much more than book 1.

Harrison’s character is nicely portrayed: her kindness, her weariness from family pressure and the expectations of the magical community, her fears and insecurities in her magic, and her strength to stand up for herself.

Jacob and Ric already function as a duet before they met Harrison. They strongly disagree with Jacob’s mother’s ambitious plan, namely to bond with that “snooty fucking royal bitch”, Harrison. There are lots of prejudices from Jacob and Ric towards Harrison, and vice versa.
She had no desire to be at Triune. No desire to become a trophy wife to two Magian peacocks. Two men who loved each other, and wanted no part of her but her name and her magic.

As in Wicked Sexy, I enjoyed the magic in this story, too. It is really exceptional: wide variation of innate magical abilities, learned spells, and charmed objects such as dresses, or jewelry, a self-cleaning room, enchanted makeup, and a shower massage that gets a new meaning with personalized pampering avatars formed of steam and water.

But – maybe because of the shortness of the story – the romance is not developed. I felt it forced by lust again, similarly to book one, Wicked Sexy. Jacob’s family mystery was also very short cut.

The erotica is really delicious, and in this regard Wicked Bad is pretty impressive.
Harrison was in shock. No wonder. No wonder true triad matches spoke with such reverence about their joinings. She hadn’t even truly consummated hers and already she knew she was forever altered.
Changed.
It was terrifying.

So, there's this beautiful rich witch whose doesn't get along well with her peers and has been so far unable to join a triad, because no one likes her:

She sneaks out of the 'match em up ball' and stumbles on some manly love happening in the stairwell.

So, they simultaneously fall in love with each other as they hate each other vehemently.

Whereupon there's awkward family drama and hate:

And we are left really, really confused.

Harrison Abbot is known as the Abbot Princess to the magical world. It is expected that once she finds the two men that will make up her triad she will be the most powerful witch. Only Harrison is not eager to find her men, but fate has other plans for her. She stumbles on two virile men in flagrante delicto and she just can’t look away. There is only one conclusion: she’s found her men. She, of course, takes appropriate action by running as far and as fast as she can into the human world.

Jacob and Ric are longtime lovers. They are supposed to be looking for the infamous Abbot Princess but she is the last thing they want—until they lay eyes on her that is. Their Princess is on the run hiding from their destiny but they will find her and show her all the wicked pleasures she desires.

Magic has no bounds in this wickedly erotic romance. Wicked Bad is blistering hot and quite funny to boot. Harrison comes off a bit selfish in the beginning but her time in the human world quickly shows her how great her life is. Her resistance of Jacob and Ric is futile but entertaining. There is a shower scene that is very imaginative. Wicked Bad is a delicious romp!

OK I was actually surprised that i enjoyed this little ditty. I absolutely loved the main character. She was feisty, misunderstood and fought to claim her own future.

This story really needed to be a full length novel. The relationship that Harrison(female) had with Ric and Jacob was not fully formed. I really enjoyed reading about her denial of their triad and was looking forward to the seduction and falling in love portion of the story. But really...there was none.

I actually really disliked the two men at the beginning of the story. I felt indignant on behalf of Harrison and wholeheartedly agreed and supported her decision to run away from them. I mean who would want to be mated to two people who clearly made snap judgments about their third without even meeting her first? Not cool, boys.

But again, because the story was so short and she pretty much fell in love with them during an altercation with Jacob's family after they KIDNAP her, I was never truly released from my dislike of the men. The dialogue and scenes between the three had SO much potential and really should be expanded upon.

I enjoyed it, but the romance suffered from its lack of length.

Truly enjoyed this second installment to the series! A great read with so much going on, each chapter taking you beyond. Triads with magic, creates sparks. It brings the third story into light. Can't wait to read the next book.

Still loved it but it felt rushed...

Unlike all the other books I've read from R.G. this one felt rushed, I didn't feel much of a connection to the characters plus I felt like Harrison, the main female character, was a third wheel for one for two the explanation of Harrison's attack and the situation that involves Jacob, which I can't say much about without spoilers, came out of left field and was kind of confusing. But if you can look past all of that it's still a good read.

Harrison had spirit and I liked her up to when she was kidnapped, tied up and then feeling the lurve all within a chapter because apparently good sex is all that matters with magians. I did not like the male leads despite the obvious attempt at redemptive pathos with their backstories, and the book is so short I did not buy into any sort of romance between Harrison and the men. Between them, yes, but she was the 3rd wheel. Book 1 was interesting, but after this one I’m skipping book 3.

Good follow up book

Little bit of mystery, tied back to the first book but you don't have to have read it first. Shorter background in that it seemed to head straight for sex, so sex with story rather than story with sex.

For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...

First off the bat, I will tell you that Ms. RG picked up right where we left off in Wicked Sexy.

Harrison's brother and their mate, Callie, have found the person responsible for hurting the Magians and all is well... Or all was thought to be well.

Harrison felt hurt in more ways than one. She felt left out - from family and her best friend. Callie and her two mates left Harrison behind to "fight crime" and that did not sit well with Harrison. Callie was, and still is... her best friend. But she had always believed that Callie was human... until a casting spell backfired and proved that Callie was Magian. And she turned out to be one very powerful Magian. So, that kinda ticked her off a bit. She just wanted a break from all of the magic around her. She wanted the one thing that Callie use to be able to afford her - normalcy.

The night at the Triune, Harrison was ready to run... Or at least she thought so until she found a door... A hidden door. But whose every magic produced the door, they did a poor job. Harrison kept walking until she stumbled upon the most erotic sight her eyes had beheld. Two men, entwined together. So much passion, raw and wild flowing between them. She knew that to make a Triad, it was two males and one woman, but most of them were related - so their focus was on the woman... but these two... These two were in love with each other, it was evident in the exchanges of words and the body language they shared... Then one hissed out her name.....

This is a very intriguing tale of one woman who just wanted to lose herself for a while. To shed off her life and just be normal. To not answer to anyone. To not belong to anyone(s). To just be. And to just be, what does one have to do... run... Not too far, but far enough to be left alone for a while. To clean the air of thoughts, to clear the air of what is to be and what is not. But the scene she stumbled into that fateful night at the Triune has followed her... lingering... taunting... teasing... her!

Jacob is the dominate one, he is the one in control. But his past is about as dark as his black eyes. A past that he does not want to share, because he does not want anyone's pity on him or his family. Ric, Ricardo, has been with Jacob for what seems like forever. Always loving Jacob... and knows that one day they will find her... their mate. To complete their Triad. These two are a lethal combination. And to add to their mix... well, that might just prove to make them a powerhouse trio.

What do you do when you find out that your "supposedly" mates kinda don't want you? What happens when you think you don't want them either? Can two wrongs and one right make it all right?

Will Harrison go back to her life of magic and accept her fate in the Magian world? Can she surrender to two delicious men or will her pride get in the way? Let's find out how Wicked Bad these three can truly be....

Ok so first off this one was better than the first book (Wicked Sexy).

What’s a powerful Magian to do when she finally meets her mates only to realize they don’t want her? Blow them up or run away? Personally, I would have lit them up but thankfully our heroine, Harrison Abbott, makes the smarter choice to run away. Lucky for her, Jacob and Ric love a good chase. The fun really begins when they catch her!

In just sixty-six pages and you learn who the Abbotts’ are, where Jacob’s family came from and how Ric came to be a part of his life. And, oh, the sexual tension!! Holy cow!!

Jacob, a siren, is clearly the Alpha male but Ric enjoys causing him to beg almost as much as he enjoys do the begging. Yes they love one another and Harrison caught them together once and that is when she realized they were her mates. Ric and Jacob are long time lovers.

Harrison’s magic and chemistry compliments the men to make for one very powerful triune. It is said once she finds her mates she will be the most powerful witch.

Wicked Bad picks up just as Wicked Sexy ends but you don’t have to read the later to enjoy this story. It works very well as a stand alone. I think you’ll agree it wouldn’t be a hardship to read more of these exciting Mgian triune stories. Ms. Alexander leaves a perfect opening for the third in this series with Lorie and Conway’s story

~ 3 Wicked Bad Stars ~

This was an ok menage story. I liked that R. G. Alexander picked up right where we left off in Wicked Sexy . This is a tale of one woman who just wanted to lose herself for a while. To not answer to anyone. To clear the air of thoughts, to clear the air of what is to be and what is not. But the scene she stumbled into that fateful night at the Triune has followed her!

Thou I enjoyed this story I was not feeling the connection/love relationship in Wicked Bad as I did in Wicked Sexy. The relationship that Harrison had with Ric and Jacob felt not fully formed. I disliked the two men and I did not see/feel any redeeming quality from them. Who would want to be mated to two people who clearly made snap judgements about their third whiteout even meeting her. Bye the end I still was not feeling the relationship, but I will say the sex sense are HOT and you do feel the connection between the two men.

Three months later they find her. They take her to Argentina, where they try to seduce her, because she must be a willing partner in the consummation. The power of their actions breaks the binding spell put on her. She is free to run! On her way out of the castle, she learns of the reasons she was kidnapped. Jacob is angry that she witnessed this and sends her away! Follow this story & see if a heartbroken heiress will find her happily ever after with two exiled Magian. This has been a great series so far!

What's not to love about this book? Magic, a siren, a morph, a wicked powerful heiress and a threesome between two hot guys and a beautiful girl. :)

The characters are well developed and their personalities are hard to miss. The easy banter between Ric and Jacob is very enjoyable. What makes this my favourite installment in this series so far is the sexual relationship between the two male units of the triad. I like my guy-on-guy sex scenes as much as I love my heterosexual sex scenes.

Lol, I have to say the sex scenes in this story were good. A little less detail than I usually read but I was more interested in the story.

R.G. Alexander I think you did a great job building the world that encompasses the Magians.

Thank you for a great read :D

I loved Callie's book, but wanted more so I was excited to see Harrison's book thinking she would elaborate more. WRONG!! Harrison goes from hating them on sight, being kidnapped and bound by them to loving them within literally a chapter. Then people are dying, trying to kill others, and confessing within a page at most. It was just too much. I really wish it would have been longer so I could have enjoyed it. I like her writing, and the storyline was great, but it was like she only had twenty pages of notebook paper left to write a story on so this is what we got. Please, Ms. Alexander, give us more. We know you can!!

I was a bit disappointed in this story. I guess I expected too much. I didn't think the story developed as well as it could have and it seemed a bit rushed.

I thought Harrison and her boys seemed to resolve all issues almost immediately along with the plot of who was trying to harm her.

I did enjoy the dominating scenes, though they were few.

All-n-all, I did enjoy the story and look forward to continuing with the series.

Well I really enjoyed this second Wicked book. It was short ans sweet and sexy hot. Magian's but be three to work there magic to the fullest. So when Harrison the baby sister of the Abbott family finds her two mated in Ric and Jacob she feels a little rebellious and hides in the human world for a few months. I only wish that the auther R.G. Alexander had explained a liitle more concerning the Griffin family. But it was a fun short read.
