Wicked Ties by Shayla Black (2007, Paperback)

Loved this book. Not for the faint of heart romance reader. Very hot scenes. You will fall in love with the hero, and I loved that the heroine understood when it was necessary to step back and let him take the lead.

This book was advertised as a really hot romance with explicit sex. The sex was there but a romance? Definately not. Erotica is more than hot sex scenes. For me, the hero must care about how the woman feels NOT whether he has fulfilled all her sex fantasies. Sex is not love. This guy was a jerk. He lied to her, gave her no option, forced her into cheating on another man just to get even with his former friend. The "hero" never cared about what she was going through only what he wanted and what he decided she wanted. By the end of the story I wanted her to dump him, not forgive and beg for more. This is a guy's fantasy novel not female fare. I share all my hot books with my sisters. This novel went into the trash.

great book. The story line is awsome. cant wait for more from Shayla Black. She is very good at what she does.

Not quite what I was expecting but a fantastic surprise. Great book to sink your teeth in to, we actually read it aloud to each other and have made notes from the descriptions in the book. Twists and turns, a great plot and not just solely focused on the BDSM theme that permiates the entire book, would recommend it to anyone who's newly interested in the scene or those who are dovotees to the excitement of Domiination and submission.
