Rachel Hart and I are nothing more than teammates. As mercenaries for hire with the elite Jameson Group, we have each other’s backs in the most dangerous of circumstances. But after a mission gone deadly wrong, we do something we’ve never done before. We cross the professional line and take comfort in one another’s arms.
One night of passion turns our lives upside down with a pregnancy neither of us expected, and one that Rachel clearly never wanted. But I am a family man through and through, and I’m determined to raise my child, with or without Rachel by my side.
The only common thread Rachel and I have is our membership at The Wicked Horse, a sex club that lets us fulfill our dirtiest fantasies with one another. As we become more intimately entwined, I find myself falling for Rachel more and more. Our wicked nights together make us so much more than teammates. And when faced with losing everything, I have to hope that Rachel realizes the most difficult choices are actually the easiest ones to make.
This book sparked my interest because I like surprise pregnancy tropes. Wicked Choice is particularly enjoyable because it involves two tough mercenaries and somewhat of a role reversal. The woman doesn’t want a baby, but the baby daddy does.
Rachel is a less-than-affectionate adrenaline junkie who isn’t ready to give up her lifestyle to be a mother. Her colleague Bodhi loves his job but is willing to sacrifice it to raise his child. Never once does Bodhi judge Rachel for her choices and the author avoids painting Rachel as a selfish villain. The progression of their romance feels natural. They don’t fall instantly in love the moment Rachel finds out she’s pregnant.
This book is part of the Wicked Horse Vegas series so of course the sex club is featured, but I think it’s awkwardly forced into the storyline and doesn’t really add anything. It’s a strong story on its own.
