This was an okay story but I don't feel like Tina Donahue did a good job of pulling in the reader. I didn't really connect with any of the characters.

This was supposed to be a hot, steamy, erotica and promising book.
I'm afraid it felt short my expectations...

The plot was really thin, the language too blunt, the characters so flat.
Didn't work out for me.

Burned by her cheating boyfriend, Jasmina is finished with the idea of forever after with any guy. Her new motto is letting pleasure rule and protecting her heart.

Lucky for her, she has the perfect men in mind. Noah and Kyle, two of the hottest cops in West Palm Beach. She hasn't been able to get them out of her head since they handled an altercation at Wicked Brand, the tattoo parlor she manages. When they come back to get inked, sparks fly.

Noah's ready to play, and Kyle's on board. All they want is her—submission, bondage, spanking…no strings or regrets. Seductive days roll into steamy nights, igniting feelings the guys hadn't expected and Jasmina can't deny.

What began as a sensual adventure could turn into so much more…if Jasmina can risk a different kind of love.

I loved the story !! Wicked steamy sex scenes between two gorgeous police officers and a very lucky girl.

This is the first book from this author that I have read. I thought this book was going to be more BDSM than it was, but still a sexy good read. Some girls have all the luck! Jasmina can’t decide between two sexy men. They are both alpha males, both cops, and both very sexy. Can she have both or will that be an impossible dream? Guess you’ll have to read to see for yourself. I did enjoy the friendship between all three characters. I also liked that her work friends were watching out for her, the relationship was more than work friends, family. I don’t want to give too much away so you’ll have to get the book to see what sexy fun this trouple is up to.

Not to be read for the storyline but for the steam factor.

Hot story and quite enjoyed the premise and the characters but some of the dialogue and scenes felt rushed or really frantic - sorry, don't know how else to explain! Affected my enjoyment of the story at times but overall a hot read.

I am so in love with this series and characters! Every book is so well written and engaging. I just knew Jasmina would get her story and it did not disappoint. Noah and Kyle are two of the sexiest cops in the city. And they both want her. What more can a girl ask for?

This is the second book by this author that I have read and the second one in the series.

I struggled with both books feeling any connection with the "couples" and this book was no different. I wish the author would have spent more time developing the connection between the characters. It wasn't clear in this book did the three really know each other? The author implies they did but it's not clear to what extent...although they seem fairly comfortable with one another.

The book was incredibly HOT, but was entirely focused on the intimate scenes. The connection between the three outside of the bedroom felt forced.

I really tried to like this book as I do enjoy MOM books but this book was lacking something for me. Even the sexy times between the 3 were not that good.

A sexy read with not one but two alpha males and one lady. This is book three in the Wicked Brand series and for what it is not bad

I received a copy from NetGalley and voluntarily leave my own thoughts

the wicked brand series continues with jasmina's story in wicked times two. burned by her ex, she's not looking for anything serious. what she's looking for is something different. something a little bit risky, but oh-so-rewarding.

noah and kyle have been best friends and partners for a long time. their interest in jasmina is undeniable, but they aren't sure she'd be interested in them together. but when they test the waters and find her more willing than they could have imagined, everything escalates pretty quickly.

jasmina is still scared of long-term commitment, and she doesn't see how anything involving the three of them could be long-term, so she agrees to share a relationship with them for one month.

noah and kyle both know that they want more than that from jasmina. even if they aren't entirely sure how it's all going to work, they know that they can. because there is love and pleasure and commitment and trust all wrapped up in it. they just have to get her to agree to seize the opportunity. two times the love and sex, how could she possibly say no to that?

**wicked times two will publish on january 22, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (scorched) in exchange for my honest review.

Hot! Jasmina is done with relationships, Noah and Kyle are two hot cops and they both want Jasmina. What started out as fun may just turn into something so much more. This is a fast-paced read with plenty of drama and steamy sex. The characters have plenty of depth and the story holds your interest throughout. A good read!

HOT! HOT! HOT!
Wonderful, solid and compelling characters that grabs readers’ attention and refuse to let go. The chemistry between Jasmina and her two sexy cops is electrifying and readers can fell it as it practically leaps off the pages and this romance isn’t all about the heat, although I promise you there is plenty of that, it’s about building a unorthodox relationship between one woman and two men.
Readers can’t help but get caught up in the suspense, the burn and the emotional turbulence that builds through the story as what starts out as something fun turns into so much more.

I haven’t read the first two books in the Wicked Brand series yet, but I will definitely be taking care of that. I was completely caught up in the story from the very beginning and I am looking forward to reading more about Wicked Brand.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Wow not just one hot alpha male but two and they have Jasmina melting inside! It is always great when the guys think they don't want a relationship until they meet someone who challenges that thought, and they realize that they don't want to lose her and might even feel love.

It was fun watching the guys try to plan different excursions for Jasmina and the fun that they had when they were together. Kyle and Noah could not have been more different - one dark haired, the other light colored hair, and one a deep thinker and takes his time making decisions while the other was more of an impulsive flyby the seat of his pants type. Yet, Jasmina loves them both and doesn't want to cause trouble between them or have to choose only one of them.

Good thing they are patient and can wait for Jasmina to figure things out so they can have their HEA!

Wicked Times Two is the next installment of the Wicked Delights series by Tina Donahue. I have read a lot of books from the series and really looked forward to reading this one. Unfortunately, for me, it missed the mark.

Noah and Kyle-two hot cops lusting after Jasmina. Jasmina, is a smart girl, bubbly, and all around fun to be around. But once you give your heart to someone and they stomp on it, everybody afterwards pays for that hurt. Jasmina doesn't want to get close so she thinks a friends with benefits will suit them all just fine.

She is attracted to both men and bluntly tells them what she wants. They are on the same page and indulge in a night of sexual fun! After that night, they decide to play some more. Jasmina wants to be dominated. She wants to give up control and throw a little BDSM kink in too. The guys are all for it and they embark on a month long affair.

Should have been a fun month to read about, but there were some things that didn't jive with me. From the beginning, Jasmina annoyed me, and it just got worse. I understand being hurt and not wanting to go down that hurtful road again, but it wasn't even that. It was her wishy washy way of behaving. She keeps saying she wants to be dominated, but never lets them really do that. She fires off question after question, never lets then have control, and never lets them have much say. Now part of that is the guys. They never really took control. They may have started to, but then Jasmina would interject and it all went by the wayside. I don't think they were the dominating type as BDSM kink dictates. Yes they exerted some control in the bedroom, but again Jasmina overrode them. I think she would have enjoyed acting the part of a Domme.

Ultimately, if they had actually took over and told her to be quiet-and then enforced the rules, it would have been a much stronger book. I believe I would've liked it more than I actually did. I have liked the series as a whole and will continue to read them. I was surprised how this one went for me, but it happens.
