This was certainly a very hot read, and the author doesn't waste time before giving you the goods.  One of the first scenes is an incredibly sexy woods encounter.  That sets off the chemistry between the characters that lasts throughout the rest of the story.Despite that chemistry though, it took me a while to really get a sense of who the characters were beyond the sexual relationship and get a feel for some character development.  One of the author's other books has a hero named Max and I happened to have read it recently so the hero of this one being named Max as well threw me for a chapter or two as well.The start of the buildup for the suspense factor was great, but then it took a major backseat to the romance (not that I'm complaining) and that really showed when it came to the final conflict as it was a little anticlimactic and predictable...though I must say it was pretty satisfying none the less.What really makes this story is the Wicked Valentine Ball.  Now that was a fun part to read!  The different rooms, the bringing fantasies to life, and the romantic gestures mixed in definitely get you hooked.  The fact that there was some meddling and assistance to bring the two together only made it better!Overall, Wicked Valentine is a quick, sexy, romantic suspense that will definitely leave you needing a cool shower!  Don't miss this one!**I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.**
