Wicked Ties by Shayla Black

5.0

Pre-review***I am about 100 pages into the book. I am loving how Shayla Black writes. She definately, imho, knows how to create the delicious wicked thoughts of someone with dark fantasies they want to come to life and a man more than willing to make them submit. My only hang-up is believablity. The plot is second to great character development/chemistry BUT its annoying to have it keep popping up to ruin such an otherwise perfect romantica. The interaction between Jack and Morgan is all you'll be interested in. Sometimes I like a good backstory but when the characters are so darn hot, who gives a flying hoot! NOW: that I am have finished the book I must say that I would definately pick up another Shayla Black book, but not to soon if it's as heavy as this one. Jack (Dom) wanted Morgan to admit her submissive feelings. His admitted yes he wanted to sleep with her but more important that she needed to know what she truly liked in the bedroom to find ultimate pleasure. Morgan annoyed me with the fact that she wouldn't except the fact that she was even curious about D/s play when she was so turned on by everything she saw and heard Jack do. But then I realized that she was very repressed and that was the reason she denied her sexuality for so long.

I don't know if I reviewed this book well. It'd take longer to explain the dynamics of the characters the way I saw the growth and change. I am not sure why I keep reading bondage sex erotica when I don't personally find it a turn-on. I've only read the books b/c I wanted to read more by the author or by recommendation. Thankfully they have been well written and entertaining and not just about the sex. I don't know what's it's called but if I can't connect on a mental level with the characters no matter how small or briefly the story loses points. The first encounter, the build-up to that has to be the best suspense ever! When the characters really have your heart.
