The author of Wicked Ties wraps her steamy prose around the premise that two men are better than one.

I read both Decadent and Wicked Ties IN ONE NIGHT! I loved them both. I liked this book just as much as the first. I know not everyone feels that way, but I do.
I loved Deke. I have heard that his brooding behavior drove people nuts... but not me ;) This book has so much angst and drama that it sucked me in right from the start and didnt let go.

Welcome to my rantview
If you’re looking for a book with lots of hot 3 way lovin’, but don’t need a really believable or compelling storyline, this might be the book for you.
I’m just going to get this off my chest, right up front - there’s this bothersome thing about Shayla Black’s heroes. They all seem to have some kind of horrible secret which in my opinion aren’t really all that horrible. At least, not to the degree that these men, these rough, take no priso More...

This is the second novel in this series, and it is a ménage novel. Kimber is a 23-year-old virgin, who has been in love with Jesse, a rock star, for 6 years. Now they are ready to talk marriage. Only thing is the last few years have been sexually wild ones for Jesse and his band on the road. He’s into all kinds of sex stuff, including ménage.
So Kimber goes to Deke (whom she has known since she was a teenager…he worked with her father for a while) and his cousin, Luc, who are we More...

Deke Trenton has a serious case of blueballs. The poor guy desperately wants Kimber, but he’s just too closed up for the kind of relationship that Kimber is looking for.

This book was more enjoyable than the first in the series...but don't get me wrong, I liked the first one too. The "kinks" the characters had in this book were completely different than the sub/dom and BDSM in book 1.

Kimber, daughter of a Colonel, looks up a man, Deke, who used to work for her father, whom she hasn't seen since she was 17, and asks him to teach her about "sex his way": menage. He shares women with his second cousin, the sexy chef Luc, and is hung up over the fate of the last woman he had sex with alone, Heather, back when he was a teenager. Kimber wants to learn about menage because of Jesse McCall, a sexy pin-up boy and pop star who she's known for five years, who she's been savin

I did not like this one as much as her first book "Wicked Ties" and I can't really pinpoint why. Maybe because Deke is just a little over the top screwed up.

This book is erotica, so stop reading if that's not your thing.
This is a m-f-m menage book, and it's very hot. I have no complaints about the sex scenes - some very wow impressive. The book is well written, and I couldn't put it down. Certain aspects did get on my nerves, however. For example, why are the men in menage books so often related to one another (brothers or cousins)? Is it to avoid any hint of homoeroticism?

With Decadent, Shayla Black once again demonstrates how erotica can also be good literature. Unlike so many writers in this sub-genre who focus only on great sex, Black insists on little things like plot development, characters with personalities, character motivation and, you know, stuff like that.
I've read this book twice now. After the first read, I wasn't as keen on it as I was on the related story, Wicked Ties. But everyone I knew was raving about it so I thought that maybe I'd More...

What I liked about this book:
The chemistry between Kimber and Deke and their eventual love. How Deke always loved her but knew it was better not to be involved with her in the past. He is a flawed hero, which made him human but he saw the error of his ways. There is menage in this book, though... just a warning. Luc, Deke's cousin is introduced which I liked as well.

Kimber is a virgin and in love with a pop star. At first I thought she was just delusional, but it turns out he is just as delusional as she is. He is famous, with a well known kinky side, and a love of menage. He says she is too innocent for his lifestyle, and she is determined to prove otherwise. She seeks out Deke, an old teenage crush, knowing he can teach her everything she needs to know about menage before Jesse returns from tour. What she doesn't count on is falling for bad boy Deke, who

Le prime 200 pagine sono più scorrevoli e leggere visto che sono basate sull'educazione erotica della protagonista, le ultime 100 pagine invece sono più drammatiche e sembrano più forzate... non so se sono stati fatti dei tagli rispetto alla versione in inglese, ma l'impressione è che l'autrice abbia cambiato ad un certo punto tono e registro stilistico, per cui, nelle ultime 100 pagine accade di tutto: un attentato al padre di lei che era un ex colonnello dell'esercito con parecchi nemici, lei

I read Ms. Black's first book in this seris, Wicked Ties (review here), and I liked it, but it had some issues that were hard for me to get past. I wanted to try another book before gave this series a thumbs-up or not. Well, I'm giving it the thumb's up....I like it and am looking forward to the next book. Okay, the premise was a bit unbelievable, but once I got past it I didn't care - it was a sexy, sexy book!

I liked Wicked Ties. I thought the characters were interesting, the plot was interesting, and I could make myself go along with how the story unfolded. I even thought Deke was a good character in that book. Decadent, on the other hand, has horrible writing, the plot is ridiculous, and the entire book is borderline comical. Deke is getting on my last freggin nerve, and his "deep dark secret" is just plain asinine. On top of the stupid secret that has tormented his life, his reaction

So, this is more 3 1/2 to 4 stars. I didn't like this one as much as Wicked Ties, but it was enjoyable. I guess I found the original premise kind of silly, and Deke was quite the idiot sometimes. Kimber is a 23 year old virgin who thinks she's in love with her old flame, Jesse, now a rock star who's into threesomes (no joke!). She wants to fit into his life desperately. She remembers her father's employee, Deke, an ex Army Ranger with a penchant for the same lifestyle (rumors abound around

Kimber is pining after her teenage crush/boyfriend who is now a wildly famous, and just plain wild pop star. But she has read enough to know that her unexperienced virginal ways will not be able to keep him as her man once he comes back to town. But she knows just the man to show her the ropes, Deke, and then Deke's cousin. Deke is caught up in some past guilt and will only do menage relationships and refuses to get emotional or close. But staying detached from Kimber who he has known for years

A very sexy and spicy book, yes, but overall this is one of those books in which the potential is better than the actuality. The two main characters, Kimber and Deke, are very irritating. She's a love-sick ninny just asking to be taken for granted. He's a melodramatic jerk lacking coping skills. His whole issue about pregnancy just never worked for me; he came across as a ridiculous prima donna. The most interesting character was Luc, and I wish he'd gotten more "screen" time than he d
