Very Wicked Things by lIsa Madden-MillsReview by Jen (BestSellers & BestStellars)Very Wicked Things was such an amazing story!  It really is a great follow up to Very Wicked Beginnings.  We get to see how the continuation of Cuba and Dovey’s story, after what happened in Very Wicked Beginnings.  I loved reading more about Cuba and Dovey and you really get a lot more background on them in this story.  There were times I laughed, cried, and then there were times I wanted to throw my kindle I was so mad.  lIsa did another fantastic job!I loved Dovey.  She’s smart, beautiful, and an awesome ballet dancer.  She has had a tough life.  Things aren’t easier for her, but she is going to do everything she can to make things better for herself.  She catches Cuba’s eye in Very Wicked Beginnings, but she knows she has to stay away because he’s not good for her, but that doesn’t work out so well.  She gets involved with Cuba against her better judgement.“Cuba Hudson was serious man-candy, the kind good girls knew to stay away from.  But I hadn't.  Within the space of a few weeks last year, he’d wooed me, screwed me, and then tossed me in the trash.  Of course, I’d given in to him, and he’d broken me, shattering something fragile that could never be fixed.”She wanted Cuba so bad because deep down she saw a good person.  She thought that maybe he would be different with her, but she was wrong.“He wasn’t Apollo, but Ares, the god of war.  Dark and vicious, his only goal was to cause discord.  To ruin lives.  And he’d ruined mine.  Nothing of me would ever be the same.”Then we have Mr. Sexy himself, Cuba Hudson.  He’s Briarcrest Academy’s bad boy football player, but he’s also got a tough home life.  No one sees that because he puts up a front at school.  He’s cocky and he can get any girl he wants, and he wants Dovey.  He definitely has the sexy factor down, and these girls better watch out.“She’s got an aerodynamic body, like you.  She’s sexy and hot and I want my hands all over her.  I really want to crank her up and ride her, but I think I may have to wait, which is fine.  I like delayed gratification.”Even though things were tough with Dovey, it didn’t change how Cuba felt about her.“You were never a game to me, do you understand?  Not one time that we were together.”I really liked the banter between Cuba and Dovey.  Those were definitely scenes that made me laugh out loud.“If you wore more clothes, you wouldn’t be cold.”“If you’d stop talking, my car might get fixed.”I loved this book.  I was looking forward to Cuba and Dovey’s story and I was not disappointed.  I love that the characters didn’t have that insta-love.  I enjoy reading a story that makes the characters go through issues and have to work for what they want.The quality of writing was great.  The story was well-written and very enjoyable to read.  It kept me interested and I found myself looking forward to the next page.  I could not put it down!  I can’t wait for the next book!5 Diamonds for this amazing story!!
