She didn’t know what she wanted until he made her beg for it...
Morgan O’Malley has seen a lot of kinky things as the hostess of a cable sex talk show. But she’s never met a man like Jack Cole before. A self-proclaimed dominant, he’s as alpha as a male can get–and good for Morgan to have around when an obsessed stalker ratchets up his attempts to get to her.

I had heard so much hype about this book that I was a little disappointed with it. I enjoyed it, but I wasn't wowed. I think Jack's ultra dominance was a little much for me and I felt a little sorry for Morgan--I kept putting myself in her shoes and wanted to strangle Jack. That would have been my sexual fantasy ;-) I wish he had been a little more sensitive than hulking and scowling--but I guess that is pretty much the norm for these brooding dominant male we tend to love so much... When Deke w...more

Let warn you upfront this is a BD/SM novel. Morgan hosts a TV sex show and meets Jack online, a dom and BD/SM master. She goes to Louisiana to talk with him and see if he would be a good candidate to interview for her show about BD/SM. Unfortunately, she is also the victim of a stalker who decides to take a shot at her while she and Jack are having lunch. Jack is ex-military and now a professional bodyguard. He gets her away from the shooter and off to his cabin in the swamp so she’ll have a saf...more

Wicked Ties has more heat than the fire from an erupting volcano. This erotic tale of Jack Cole, ex-Special Forces soldier and experienced dom, and Morgan O’Malley, TV show host who denies her submissive nature, brings new meaning to the word SEXY. As Jack encourages Morgan to embrace her fantasies, he pushes her to submit in ways that will probably make you want Jack to say “Good girl” to you too. With dominant/submissive dynamics, bondage and a ménage, be ready for some explicit (heart stoppin...more

Ooooooooh boy. This made me get more books by Shayla Black from the library because that woman can write one steamy sex scene. Not to mention a whole book full. Not to mention her hero is hot and sexy as all get out. This is one steamy book that deserves a rereading on a cold winter's night. The underlying mystery of stalking throws an interesting plot attention grabber.
Also, it introduces Deke, who is in her next book Decadent. I liked knowing a little bit about him in this book first before I...more

When I started this book I figured it would be just another sexy read by Shayla Black. WOW! Was I ever wrong! Not about the “sexy read” part, but about the “just another” part of the “sexy read” comment.

I'm not sure about this one...
It had all the characteristics of a classic romance novel with the added twist of the D/s relationship between the main characters and a dose of crime/thriller just to make things a little more interesting.
The sex scenes were scorching hot and I enjoyed them profusely, the BDSM elements believable and well rendered.

I tried hard to like this book, since I went out and bought the entire series as well as two others of a similar style - all at once to the tune of $200 - I've had to read it over time, and pick up other books in between because of the relentless repetitiveness of what's happening in this one. Potentially intriguing characters get lost amid scenes of very non-erotic sexual activity. All in all, if you like a lot of sex with little emotional investment, you'll love this book - I can't say series,...more
This book took me a long time to finish. Thanks to "Sir" it was worth it though. I see the author is from Texas no wonder she knows some bdsm. The book actually had a great story to accompany the lead characters. Morgan the female lead protagonist has a tv show on sex, called "Turn Me On." She interviews Jack, the second lead character because he is a potential for a guest on her cable talk show.

"The memory of you in my arms...it's been keeping me hard all night. Watching you sleep was torture.

Get inside you, drive deep and sure. I want you to scream my name when you come." *SWOON*

This was by far the worst read I've found so far. I just can't believe I even read the little I read. I really tried but this book was so bad I just couldn't believe it actually got published. Please guys you just have to help me understand what was it you liked about it because I just couldn't find one little thing I liked.

Wicked Ties is only intended for readers who like the sizzle and spice,sexual tension that rates off the richter scale. Why do I say this? Well I can not deny that this book contains light BDSM and a Ménage à trois scene that is wantonly wicked! Although there is more to the novel,I just had to throw in that small thought and give readers the heads up!

Morgan is host of a racy late-night cable TV show called Turn Me On; just about to start the second season, she goes to meet and interview Master J, a man who runs a security company but who is also a Dominant. Fleeing from her obsessed stalker who has violated her home, she makes use of her half-brother Brandon's offer of a place to stay before meeting Master J. Her stalker has followed her though, and opens fire on her while she has coffee outside a cafe with the tall, muscular and very attrac...more

Every so often I need to scratch my itch and read a good erotic book. This was definitely for my itch. I like erotica but I don't read them that much and I've now figured out why....It's because there is barely a storyline. I get that erotic novels are mostly about sex, but is it that hard to have a storyline to go along with it?? This plot was too weak for me. It could have worked but I felt like it was lacking because of the heroines need to be dominated. It just took over the whole book. But,...more

This story was ok... I found the characters 'reflecting' too much, reiterating what they were thinking ALL THE TIME ..to the point where the story was getting boring for me. It took me a lot longer to finish this story than it normally would have, had the story had a better pace I would have gotten into it more. I loved Morgan and Jack together, and the whole idea of the stalker..but the writing was kinda lame for me. I so wanted to like this book!

Sex TV personality, Morgan O'Malley is being stalked and he has followed her from LA to Houston. When he goes from stalking to attempted murder, Jack Cole, dominant and security expert, steps in to protect her. Morgan now has to worry about the stalker and resisting Jack's pull.
Well-written story with an actual plot, weak but there, with intense sex scenes. Anyone interested in BD/SM should check out this book.
Adult Fiction

Only one thing could stop me from liking Jack Cole and that is his petty attempt to get back at Brandon Ross, a good guy, as it turns out, (who is Jack almost stupidly seeks vengeance from) but hell...that is the main plot of the book, and though already a flimsy premise, it is weakened by a subplot of a stalker being after the heroine/damsel in distress, Morgan, and another secondary subplot that just screams that this story is doing way too much.

HO-LEE-CRAP. This book was smoking hot. Dare I say - the hottest book I have ever read. But I will say this - the story is driven totally on the sexual aspect. Yes - there is a story there.....but it does take a back seat to the crazy, smoking hot sex scenes.
And a warning - this isn't your plain old vanilla sex. This is BDSM, threesomes, anal sex.....that kind of thing. So, if that isn't your cup of tea - I suggest you don't read this book. That being said - while those sorts of thing aren't par...more

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...more

Not getting into too much detail, but I really loved this book, every bit of it. For some reason, I'm liking Deke much more than Jack. I have to admit though, with this dominant/submissive thing, sometimes I do feel sorry for the submissive. I'm not sure if it happens in real life, but oh well, as long as the parties involved are enjoying it. I've already ordered Decedant, I think its the second in Shyla Black's series.

This will more than likely be shelved in my "read" file someday....maybe. I'm sorry, but there's a fine line in a romance novel where the descriptions of "stuff" are just downright disgusting and this is one. I found myself saying, "Eww" more than a few times and I have a very thick skin when it comes to stuff like this.

Mhm, this book was dissapointing, big time.
On the bright side, yes, the sex in it was very good, it's rare that I read such good sex-scenes. The over-abundance of them destroyed the appeal of it all for me though, I found myself getting bored after a while, so repetitive, untill the last part of the book that got a little interesting.

Okay, don’t be surprised when you find out that this is an erotic novel. This is actually one of the hottest books I’ve read so far, if you know what I mean. If you’re really not a fan of erotic novels, (or if you’re a sheltered little school girl) I assure you, you won’t like it. But of course, seeing that I don’t discriminate books, I actually liked this one.

I've got to say...Jack is HOT I'd call him sir every day of the week. I love his domination and controlled passion throughout the the novel, so it goes without saying the sex is hot. Don't kid yourself though, don't come around Wicked Ties looking for in depth plot twists and turns, but what is offered in the way of plot was more than I anticipated. That said I'm not entirely sure I'll be reading the other books in the series because I believe Black may be fond of penning characters whose person...more
