The best of friends.
Two men. One woman.
A sinful playground called The Wicked Horse.

Entrepreneur turned millionaire, Dane Hawthorne, has been known to get his kicks at The Wicked Horse Vegas, and he has no shortage of beautiful women waiting for a shot at him. Driven to succeed, no matter if he’s in the boardroom or the bedroom, Dane never backs down from a challenge.

Avril Carrigan isn’t the type of woman to take risks in her personal life but after a broken heart and too much liquid courage, Avril decides to best way to get over one man, is to get under another. Looking to experience all the debauchery she’s heard about from her best friend and business partner, Dane, she requests one thing of him—take her to The Wicked Horse.

The request seems simple. One friend helping another in her time of need. But now that they’ve crossed the threshold, things aren’t as easy as they once seemed. Not only is Dane looking at Avril in a new light, but so is their other business partner and best friend, Andrew Collings. As Dane’s envy blooms, he wonders if he made the right decision when he agreed to show Avril his wicked world.

What happens when the lines of friendship are blurred and boundaries are crossed? Will their relationships survive or will jealousy tear them all apart?

I rather liked this. One of my issues with erotica is that too often it’s sex, sex, sex, and not enough character development or substance. Wicked Envy has a good balance — three distinctly different characters with interesting relationships and lots of positively scorching hot sex. 

Three best friends gradually find themselves in a friends with very dirty benefits arrangements. I enjoyed the way the dynamics and history between Dane, Avril, and Andrew are explored. A sex club is prominently featured so a whole lot of scorching hot taboo sex is to be expected, and I enjoyed seeing how each person navigates their way through their unconventional arrangement. 

If you’re looking for a big love triangle story or LGBTQ erotica you won’t find it here. While there is a ménage, the story avoids a bi-curious angle and love triangle drama.
