When three college besties meet three hot guys in Vegas, anything can—and does—happen. Book Four in the New York Times Wild Seasons series that began with Sweet Filthy Boy (the Romantic Times book of the year that Sylvia Day called “a sexy, sweet treasure of a story”), Dirty Rowdy Thing, and Dark Wild Night.
For two people ambivalent about dating and love, they sure get naked around each other an awful lot . . .
London Hughes is very content to surf daily, tend bar, hang out with her group of friends, and slowly orient herself in the years after college. Everything’s going great and according to the non-plan.
But when a wave knocks her for a loop one morning, then Luke Sutter’s flirtatious smile knocks her for another that evening, she veers slightly off course…and into his path. Sure, he’s a total player, but the Why not—it’s only one night is a persistent voice in her ear.
For his part, Luke’s been on hookup autopilot for so long that he rarely ever pauses to consider what he’s doing. But after an amazing time with London, he realizes that he hasn’t been moving on from a devastating heartbreak so much as he’s been drifting to wherever—and whomever—the current takes him. With London he wants more.
Every relationship involves two people…plus their pasts. And as much as she enjoys her fling with Luke, when London learns about his past—more specifically, who’s in it—everything becomes the brand of complicated she strives to avoid. It’s up to Luke then to change some things in order to try and ensure he’s not something she’ll outright avoid as well.

I don’t know what I can say about this book other than, I LOVED IT! Christina Lauren does it again with the fantastic conclusion to this series with possibly the best kind of hero!
To be honest, I had forgotten all about Mia’s manwhorish ex, Luke, as we went through the other couples. And even Lola’s roommate London didn’t stand out to me. But when these two got together….phew, it was hot. The chemistry between the two of them seemed to leap off the page. From their fun flirting at the bar, to their night together (even when calling her by the wrong name), getting to know one another and finally realizing they both wanted more than they originally thought.
Then there were all the secondary characters. We get to see all the couples from the previous books, but we’re also introduced to Luke’s family. Luke’s sister Margot was one of my favorite secondary characters. She didn’t pull any punches with Luke and that’s what molded his perfect woman. Here’s an example of a perfect Margot moment.
“Okay, okay,” Margot says, moving to her knees to pull her phone from her back pocket. “Just let me put this in my calendar.” She starts typing. “‘The day…the tables were turned…on my dear, sweet brother…and a girl made up a work story…so she didn’t have to spend time with him.” She taps her screen once more as if saving it, and smiles. “There. Noted.”
WICKED SEXY LIAR is one of those books you just need to pick up and experience for yourself. It was fun, it was hot and it had it’s emotional, angsty moments. It was everything I look for in a romance book, making it one of my Top Reads for 2016.
