Wicked Ties by Shayla Black
1.0

No one, not even old Cajun paw paws and maw maws, use "cher" as often as Jack "Master J" Cole does. There were a lot of clues (whipping up a gumbo instead of laboring all day, lack of reference to Louisiana's crazy weather considering the outfits they're wearing, lack of camo in the swamp camp, too many French phrases in Jack's vocabulary) that made it clear the author did enough research to write a Cajun romance novel, but not enough research to actually have the Cajun setting enhance the story she wanted to tell.

Which, honestly, is a very contrived story to begin with. But really, the part that jumped the shark was when Jack kept forcing Morgan to confront her deviant nature, literally, and making her agree to his confining demands instantly. While this may work for some couples, it's really best if they, you know, actually talk and agree about how this type scenario should occur first.

Maybe this is just a rocky start and things get better from here. But I'm not invested enough to stick around and find out.
