Wicked
Don’t go calling me “typical.”
Sure, I might seem like a run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter bad boy: corded with muscle, covered in tattoos, and ready to get down and dirty without a moment’s notice. And, yeah, the only thing I love more than hot women is hotter action.
But, love it or hate it, there’s always been more to me than all of that. There’s always something more beneath the surface.
More than even I’d expected, as it turns out.
Tough as I might be, my childhood was even tougher; everything I thought was worth learning was learned on the streets. Kept secret, however, was the most important thing of all: my true identity. I was kept in a web of lies perfectly tailored to keep me ensnared and in the dark.
Now, however, that web is beginning to come undone, and the truth it’s been hiding for all this time is finally becoming known.
But long-sought truths are the most costly, and, for me, this is the most sought-after truth of them all. The cost will be great, and the journey to pay it will be fraught with rage and lust…
… passion and betrayal…
… and lots and lots of danger!
Fortunately, I’ve got a beautiful woman by my side and a will to succeed.
Now let’s see if it’s enough to get this bad boy the redemption he craves.

This was the longest book so far from The Blackthrone Brothers Box Set. However, all my suspicions were confirmed in WICKED!! If you have been following alone the story-line between Ash and Ashton, nothing would surprise you, however Amber's story-line definitely surprised me. There's a little twist of WTF!! Nonetheless, did anyone notice for the first time in this series Ashton was able to speak for himself instead of being spoken of in the 3rd person. Several chapters were told solely by Ashton.

OK this is now my favorite in this series so far. It's so dark and twisty . Loved it.

Wicked blew me away with yet again another phenomenal, sexy book in this series! Ayden’s revelation, Amber’s blackouts, Ash trying to protect Amber and recovering from this turn of events, all of it was amazing! I love that there are so many different facets to this book, all so varied, yet they connect all of these characters in unexpected ways. My heart was pounding as I tried to figure out Ayden’s agenda and his history. I wept for Amber, my heart simply ached for her. I couldn’t begin to imagine going through her ordeal. She's just one tough cookie. There are other characters that we will meet, people who somehow intertwine and connect the lives of our beloved main characters. The abyss of Ayden’s pain and suffering are revealed, and we will see just who finds wicked redemption here.
Mr. B has outdone himself. You can ask yourself how much of this is real, but that is part of the allure of his books The depth of Ash’s love for Amber, his dealings with Ayden, his strength, all shined through here. I applauded him throughout the story. But don’t let the suspense and the drama lull you into thinking there is no sex and steam! There is plenty, and you will not be disappointed! There is more to this story than meets the eye, and I can’t wait for the next in the series to come out! I absolutely loved this book, and I highly recommend it!

Just... Wow
So in the previous book, Ayden kidnaps & torments Amber & stabs Ash in the shoulder.. In this book, he tells Ash about his past after Ash went to their old mansion, his childhood home, & discovered his dad kept secrets of his past from him.. Amber is still going through fear of Ayden's assault. She starts having loss of time & sleep-walks to end up sleeping in the closet. Ash suggests she sees a therapist & finds out that her trauma is from an ongoing assault from someone close to her.. Once again i hate the ending lol but loved the book... Keep up the awesome work :)

Past, Present and Future
This is the beginning of Ashton and Amber's love story. But many road blocks stand in there way Ash brother Ayden is trying to gain back the trust of his brother and start over, Amber is trying to remember a past she would rather have behind her and Ash is trying to find out who the man he called Father ended up so different from who he could have been. Can they each make their way forward to a bright future or will the sins of the past leave them behind

Can there be forgiveness?
Ash and Ayden set up a time to meet with each other after Ash finds out some information about their mutual father. And Ayden wants to share information about what it was like growing up with their mother. Ayden had a very difficult life, but that does not excuse what he has done. Also, Amber starts to remember other things that happened in her youth and takes charge of her life again... This series is smoking hot!!!!! I read this book as an ARC and this is my honest review.

This is my least favorite in the Blackthorne Brothers series. It was not the page turner the other books have been. The first few I could not put the book down. It seems that the genre is changing with each book in the series. I found the 1st book while I was looking for bdsm books. I also have read other A. Blackthorne's books. While his other books are not heavy in the bdsm, Wicked seems to be lacking. It problem after problem.
I'm torn with continuing on with the series. I want to know what happens next but I might need to change authors for a few books.

Oh my goodness!! I absolutely love Amber and Ash together!! Ayden Is one piece of work. I don’t know if I could easily forgive or even meet him after all he has done. The mystery surrounding Ash’s Dad-very unexpected. I can’t picture the man being a hippie after “seeing” him all stuffy and corporate. I guess you really know a person. Lots and lots of secrets. Can’t wait to see what infolds in the next book!!

I am loving this series, in this fifth book we learn about Ayden's past and follow through his struggles, and betrayals, of finding who he is, it's another gripping story and even though at first I didn't like him very much, he's growing on me.
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion

Emotional rollercoaster
The emotions I went through reading this book were unbelievable, but I loved every second of it. The relationship between Ash and Amber is starting to blossom. The secrets from the past cause many a stumbling block. Ayden trying to gain their trust, just adds to the emotion.

Amber & Aydens past stories revealed
This book explains Ambers childhood trauma and how she became who she is. Also it explains Ayden’s story and why he is how he is. Both traumatic experiences and shocking. Plus the twists and turns just make this series seem more realistic as Ashton dives into serious and sensitive topics.

What an emotional roller coaster ride. I've never read a book of A. Blackthorne's without some kind of emotional and physical reaction and this one is no exception. I've said it before, this series is addictive and once again I'm wanting another book.
August 16, 2018
This book will take you on an emotional ride. You will learn a lot,more about Ayden. I is amaz8ng how difference but alike they are. This is a roller coaster book and a cliff hanger, but well worth the reading. Enjoy
August 17, 2018
Excellent! Wicked has us following Ayden, as he tries to learn from his past and gain forgiveness for his actions to Ash and Amber. I loved reading about Ayden and learning more about him, and look forward to reading more.
August 17, 2018
This book is both light and dark. Light because Ash and Amber finally acknowledge their feelings for each other and dark because of all the secrets in all their pasts that have brought them here. We learn so much more about Ayden as well as Ash, Amber and their relationships with their families.
August 17, 2018
This book in this series by far is dark, thrilling, arousing as events take place as the lies and betrayal unfurl. You will not be disappointed as the characters and storyline continue as the sequence of events are revealed. Can't wait for book 6.

There are so many intriguing elements in this one.
I'm really routing for Ash and Amber.
They have such explosive chemistry.
