Blurb:
Aria Bad is a tattooist whoโs mastered the art of hiding in plain sight. Her art is her only safe place. Crowded rooms make her panic. Peopleโs eyes burn too hot. Except his. Zeke Wicked has been the steady presence sheโs leaned on since he tutored her through high school. Heโs a loyal, protective Dark Knight biker, the kind of man who sees everything and the one man who could unravel her without even trying. Every year he takes her to see her family for the holidays, but this year sheโs harboring a secret and needs to go alone.
Years ago, Zeke swore to protect, and never touch, Aria Bad, but that didnโt stop his heart from staking claim to her. Lately sheโs been secretive and has been pulling away, and now sheโs determined to make their annual trip without him, but his instincts wonโt let her go alone. When a storm strands them, boundaries blur and buried feelings rise to the surface, unearthing a passion neither can deny. But as the storm clears, they discover two dangerous truthsโone that ties them together and one that threatens to tear them apart.
Love Me Wicked may be enjoyed as a standalone romance or as part of the larger series. No cliffhangers, no cheating, and a happily ever after that will leave you breathless.

Review:
Zeke and Aria have loved each other for what feels like forever, but neither of them was sure about how the other felt. And not wanting to possibly ruin their friendship neither have acted on their feelings. Until something unexpected has them finally taking that chance. And I am here for every bit of it.
As the last book in this particular series, Love Me Wicked is a cozy send off. There’s very little drama, just a whole lot of love and care and understanding. Foster brings us along as Aria & Zeke move from friends to lovers and embrace what the change in their relationship really means. It’s sweet and easy and lovely.
The family aspect of these book, even when you aren’t related by blood, is my favorite part. The Wickeds & the Whiskeys love big and they do it with their whole hearts, embracing people and making them feel like they’ve found a home. And Foster does that for her readers too, bringing us right into the middle of all their joy and heartache and love and laughter. While this is it for this particular group, you never truly say goodbye in one of Foster’s stories. It’s just a chance to say hello to someone new.
(Can be read as a stand alone but there are so many great love stories with this group, it would be a shame to miss any of them.)
