It’s the dirtiest fairy tale of all…. Charm. Beast. Wolf. Everyone in the Kingdom–an exclusive, decadent BDSM club–knows the three friends and business partners. But no one has ever gotten close enough to touch them. Sex is easy, even when it hurts. It’s all any of them wanted. Love is off the table. Love is the thing none of them ever saw coming. In the Kingdom, control is everything. Who wields it and who surrenders. But some things even they can’t control. Welcome to the Kingdom, where every happily ever after hurts in the most wicked of ways.

Book Description:
Charles "Wolf" Blackwood likes the game. He likes chasing a new girl every week, loves seducing them and earning their trust. He doesn’t like to keep them.
But Scarlet is different--she always has been.
The chase has never been quite as intoxicating as it is with her, the feisty sub with an innocent streak a mile wide. He wants to keep her, but Scarlet already has a Dom, and Hunter has no intentions of giving her up.
But Wolf is in for a surprise when he realize Scarlet doesn’t want one of them. She’s playing to keep them both.
My Review:
Well, let me start off by saying that in the two previous books I never caught on to how this one would go. I grasped it fairly quickly once I got into Wicked Wolf but how I missed the outcome of this in Wicked Charming and Wicked Beast is really surprising to me. Way to go Nazarea, you totally threw me off and caught me surprised and I liked that about this.
With each story I am more and more enthralled with the men of The Kingdom. There is so much under neath the surface of each man, I don't know how Nazarea is able to pull off as much depth as she does when each story is novella length. Wolf's story is not the tear jerker that Beasts was for me but it's also not happy go lucky, it is a sad fairytale rife with heartache and misunderstandings. Each of these men are broken, Wolf, in a way, much more than the other two. He's carried his secrets for years and felt the pain of those secrets every day. As a reader you want to gather these men into your arms and soothe them, it makes them lovable, even when you feel like you can't like them.
Not only do we get Wolf, Scarlet, and Hunter's story but, as we have in past books, we get a deeper look into the relationship between the four men. We see how 'Wolf' became the man he is, what his relationship with his blood brother Mal is and his brothers by choice Beast and Charming. I am certain that I would love a prequel taking us back to the boys time in boarding school. While this is the 'end' of the original series I am hopeful that we will see these couples again, especially with the possibility of Mal's story.
My only complaint is Scarlet...she just put me off a bit. I feel like she could have solved so many issues years ago, that she strung these two men along for years and years for no other reason than her own pleasure. It all works out beautifully in the end but I felt her to be a bit callous and I found that frustrating.

I love how Nazarea has taken these classic fairytales and twisted them. The fairytale itself is only a small point of light that the author has taken and turned into something both beautiful and wicked. Don't go into this thinking it is a true retelling, it's more that she took the idea of the characters from the fairytale and turned them into something uniquely her own, something that is going to take your breath away, make your heart hurt as well as soar. I am really quite sad that this is the 'end'; for now at least.
