This is a super fun read. I really enjoyed this one!

Many thanks to the author, the publisher, and Netgalley for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Cynthia Eden knows how to deliver a high octane ride from start to finish and Dex Ryan is a great driver for this romance. His personality just jumps off the page and is so loud and vibrant, and does not hold anything back. Lacey is a great calming influence on him and their story was action packed, full of steamy romance, surprises and an entertaining plot. Loved every second of it and next the Smith, I think Dex is my favorite male lead. Can't wait for more.

Say I Do by Cynthia Eden is book 10 in the Wilde Ways Series. This is the story of Lacey Amari and Dexter Ryan. I have read the previous books which did add to my enjoyment of this one, but I did feel it could be a standalone book if you wish to do so. Dexter and Lacey are to pretend to be engaged for a FBI assignment that Dexter is working on. They don't get along but their attraction is running hot. Always enjoy this author's writing.

WoW! This is one of those books that you set it down and your picking it back up to see what happens! Lacey is working for her cousins but in the process is looking for information! Along comes Dex who dangles the key to what she wants to know for a price! The price? Become his fiancée on a undercover mission! Can they keep it strictly business?


I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

SAY I DO is the tenth instalment in Cynthia Eden’s contemporary, adult WILDE WAYS romantic, suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Wilde Ways Security. This is CIA Agent and former US Navy SEAL Dexter Ryan, and Wilde Ways security specialist Lacey Amari’s story line. SAY I DO can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from several third person perspectives including Lacey and Dex, SAY I DO follows several paths, and the acrimonious relationship between CIA Agent and former US Navy SEAL Dexter Ryan, and Wilde Ways security specialist Lacey Amari. Dexter Ryan has lusted after Lacey Amari since the first time they met, and now that Dexter needs a ‘significant other’ for an undercover operation, Dexter proposes a ‘fake engagement’ to Lacey in an effort to get closer to the woman with whom he will fall in love but Dexter’s assignment is about to go very wrong when Lacey becomes the target of an unknown assassin. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Lacey and Dex, and the potential fall-out as secrets are revealed, and revenge is a dish best served dead.

Lacey Amari thinks Dex is the biggest a$$hole, and struggles to accept his offer to go undercover on his latest assignment but Lacey is about to discover that not all is as it seems, and Dex’s lies of omission are about to break her heart. Dex is struggling with the information that he knows about Lacey’s past but information that is about to spiral Lacey’s life out of control. In an effort to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love, Dex finds himself battling between head and heart when sins of the past are about to reveal the truth.

The relationship between Dex and Lacey is tempestuous at best. Dex is stubborn, arrogant and alpha; cheats and lies, and in this Lacey struggles to trust the man that is willing to die to protect her life. When Lacey discovers that Dex knows more than he is willing to reveal, our heroine’s issues of trust place her in the direct line of fire . The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and sensual without the use of over the stop, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a small ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including the return of Lacey’s boss and owner of Wilde Ways Security Eric Wilde. We are introduced to Roman Valentino and his bodyguard Heather Madding; Duke Jonathan Radcliff and his wife Elizabeth, as well as several CIA agents working with Dex on his current assignment.

SAY I DO is a story of secrets and lies; betrayal and revenge; trust and uncertainty; revelations and love. The premise is intriguing and thrilling; the romance is provocative; the characters are edgy, flirty and inspiring.

I love this series and I love Dexter and Lacey! This book captivated me from the beginning and I had a hard time putting it down. If you’re a romantic suspense fan pick this up ASAP!

I was impatiently waiting for Dex's story and it certainly did not disappoint! I knew he was going to be a growly, possessive and protective alpha, but he turned out to be surprisingly witty and sweet. And Lacey was the perfect partner and I couldn't have loved her more -- I might have a girl crush on Lacey! These books are so much more than contemporary romance with all the twists and turns and surprises along the way. Dare I hope that we get Roman's and Antony's stories as well?! I hope so because I love this series and can't wait for more from Ms. Eden. Another 5-star recommended read. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

Dex is an excellent CIA operative who will do anything to achieve his goals, including blackmailing Lacey, a Wilde Security firm operative, to work with him on a dangerous mission. Lacey reluctantly agrees even though she's not happy that she has to pretend to be his fiance. His arrogance irritates her but to her dismay, she's also attracted to him. Their red hot chemistry has Dex acting out of character too. Lots of action, suspense, and romance make this a great read!

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to leave an honest review. I have read almost the entire Wilde Security series an have enjoyed it thoroughly. Cynthia Eden is a great writer, has good plot lines and writes a book that flows well.

This book follows Dexter Ryan, your basic spy in the CIA, and Lacey Amari, a Wilde operative who is also cousins with the founder of the security agency. Dex will use any means necessary to get what he wants whether it is through lies or blackmail. That is exactly what he does with Lacey except he doesn't anticipate the way Lacey affects him. She is about the only one who can see behind Dex's mask and realizes that he is a better man than what he shows the world. When Lacey finds out that Dex is using her though, her trust is majorly broken. When Lacey gets in trouble, Dex will do anything to save her and try to make it right.

Overall very well written, a good plot and great chemistry. My only hardship with this book (and the entire series) is how quickly and thoroughly the main characters become obsessed with each other. This is a theme throughout the whole series so I know to except it but I still like the series.

I love, love the Wilde books. Romantic suspense at its best! Dex and Lacey are "pretending" to be engaged for an undercover assignment, however how much pretending is going on? Lacey can take care of her own, she is trying to find out secrets from her past, secrets that Dex knows and keeps secret. Can these two survive the bad guys after Lacey and the secrets between them? LOVE these two. Great book!

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Every time that I read a book in this series, I think that it is better than the one before it and this book does not disappoint! You just wonder how in the world that Lacey is going to get over all the manipulations that Dex has planned and using her as bait - not good for a relationship!

The air just sizzles when they are together and Lacey fights the attraction because she knows that Dex is a master manipulator.

There is so much drama, intrigue and romance in this book, along with some big twists and turns so you don't know who you can trust and who is betraying them until the very end.

Great set up at the end for the next book - we know that it will be Roman and yet to be named woman! Can't be released soon enough for me!! I will be (un)patiently waiting for this next book!

SAY I DO is the tenth book in Cynthia Eden’s “Wilde Ways” series. Dexter Ryan, CIA super operative and manipulative so-and-so, was first introduced. He has been annoying characters and fans like me ever since. I was initially skeptical about having him be a “hero” of his own book, but Cynthia Eden made it work. This story will appeal to fans of romantic suspense, spies, kickass heroines, and the “pretend fiancé/pretend relationship” trope. In SAY I DO, Dex maneuvers Wilde special agent Lacey Armani to masquerade as his devoted fiancé for an assignment at an exclusive Colorado lodge. This book is fab and was reminiscent, for me, of the 1960s adaptation of TEN LITTLE INDIANS.

Dex has used and abused Wilde agents before in his assignments, and he was captivated when he first saw Lacey. What’s not immediately clear, to her or to readers, are his reasons for specifically requesting her. Is it because he’s attracted and borderline obsessed with her and wants any excuse to be close to her? Or does he have some hidden and slightly more twisted motivations. Dex never does anything without everything planned out in advance. He is an expert at getting people to do what he wants and moves them around like chess pieces. Thankfully, SAY I DO is told from alternating perspectives, so that readers get a glimpse of the inner thoughts and feelings that Dex prefers to hide. While I may have found Dex insufferable in previous books, in SAY I DO, Cynthia Eden shows more depth to this hero. While he may be more of an anti-hero, at least you see that Dex has some self-awareness behind the cocky façade that Dex usually presents to others. He also is shockingly honest with Lacey about the strong feelings he has for her. I hate when a hero plays games with the heroine and hides his true feelings. Dex may not have trouble playing mind games with anyone, but he lays it all out for Lacey when it comes to how much he wants her and how important she becomes to him. Lacey initially plays along with Dex on this assignment because he dangles the lure of finding out more info about the death of her parents. She winds up finding out more than she ever imagined as the story progresses. The sexual tension is off the charts and the isolated and luxurious settings are terrific and add greatly to my enjoyment of this story.

SAY I DO is a phenomenal tale of spy-vs-spy, spy-loves-spy, and danger lurking everywhere. As always with books by this author, the love scenes are intensely erotic and scattered throughout the book like delicious hidden bonbons. I adore Cynthia Eden’s books and I especially look forward to reading future books about some of these superb supporting characters. After reading one Cynthia Eden book, you can’t help but crave more.

Oh my WOW! This is one of the best romantic suspense books I've read this year. Action packed and full of twists, this is one you won't want to put down. The chemistry between Dex and Lacey is sexy, steamy, and intense. These are probably my favorite characters of the series.
The mystery keeps you guessing until the reveal. The way things unfold keep you completely engaged and invested in the story. I can't wait for Roman's book.

I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of Say I Do . Through Netgalley . This story is intense , suspenseful, intriguing and action packed . It keeps you turning the pages . Dexter Ryan is a CIA operative and bad boy . He convinced Lacey Amari an agent for Wilde agency to help him on his dangerous case and he'll help her find her parents killer . Lacey doesn't trust Dex at all . He is keeping secrets and playing games with Lacey . He definitely wants her . The attraction and desire between them is hot and real . Lacey is in danger no thanks to Dex . Dex is in danger also . One may loose their heart and one may loose their life . I absolutely love the interaction between Lacey and Dex and their growing relationship . I highly recommend taking the time to read

This is Lexi and Dex’s story. Dex needs Lacy for an assignment but he hasn’t told her the whole story. Their attraction is there from the start. When Lexis life is threatened Dex will stop at nothing to keep her alive. Action, suspense and romance will keep you turning the pages. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

I have been a big fan of this series since I discovered both it and the author so I was excited to dive in to yet another Wilde Ways book. Say I Do is takes the reader on an insanely wild ride involving a fake engagement and a getaway in Colorado that turns in to a killing spree where it becomes unclear who is manipulating who and who exactly are the bad guys and who is the target. The one thing that is clear throughout the book is that Dex is going after what he wants no holds barred, and that is Lacey. He will stop at nothing to both protect her, and have her as his....for real.

Lacey and Dex's chemistry was sizzling. This book was go, go, go in terms of action and drama from beginning to end. I did feel at times like maybe there was a little too much going on and it got a little complicated and that it took away from the book somewhat. I do really enjoy the author's writing style and really enjoyed this book overall, I just think this one had a little too much going on at times. I did love Dex and Lacey as characters though!!

Riveting!

Dex and Lacey are fantastic together. They have engaging banter and an intense relationship. Action, twists and secrets abound during their journey.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

Cynthia Eden has some of the hottest males in this series but right along beside them is a female who is just as strong, just as smart, and just as hot. Say I Do (Wilde Ways #10) has both with Dexter Ryan and Lacey Amari. Dexter borders on crossing the confidence level into too arrogant then add in his ability to use any knowledge or “secrets” to his advantage almost takes him out as a hero for me. However the ability to get a mission accomplished and his protective feelings for Lacey redeem him.

Say I Do has cold hardhearted villains, heart stopping suspenseful action and hot-blooded chemistry between Dexter and Lacey. Doesn’t matter whether they want to admit it or not, it is there for all readers and supporting book characters to see.

This is Wilde Ways being wild. I recommend Say I Do to anyone who enjoys contemporary romantic suspense. Also it reads fine as a stand-alone so don’t let its place as book 10 in the series stop you from reading. Cynthia Eden never disappoints.

An ARC of the book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Dex and Lacey are such a good pair of characters. I liked their love story and enjoyed all the aspects of it. Overall a good solid book.

Another great addition to this fun romantic suspense series I love this series as while it has your usual romantic suspense feel there is also a lot of humour included in it So you get quite a few laughs along the way and can't we all do with more to laugh about

We have met Dex in previous books in this series and he came across as a little bit uncaring but now we learn why he is like that. he is super protective almost to the point of over the top once he meets the woman that he knows is meant for him. Lacey is that woman she is a member of Wilde security and this CIA agent needs her for an op in fact he needs her to pretend to be his fiancee The only thing is emotions soon become involved and this man that has never believed in love is suddenly willing to do anything for a woman. and his case may have put her in danger . Can this leopard change his spots and actually commit you will have to read to see
