And when he bends her to his will, what's more shocking tha...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 ...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 stop...more
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 ...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.

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.

"The memory of you in my arms...it's been keeping me hard all night. Watching you sleep was torture. I kept thinking about lying next to you on the bed, peeling your clothes away and devouring everything underneath. I want to get my hands on you, cher. My mouth on you. Get inside you, drive deep and sure. I want you to scream my name when you come." *SWOON*

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.

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...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
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 scorchingly hot and I enjoyed them profusely, the BDSM elements believable and well rendered.

Only one thing could stop me from liking Jack Cole and that is his petty attempt to get back at Brandon Ross, but hell...that is the main plot of the book, with the subplot of a stalker being after the heroine/damsel in distress. Guessing the stalker was somewhat easy when narrowed down to three past lovers of Morgan and there is some interesting background that isn't fully developed: Morgan is a Talk Show Host of "Turn Me On"(though she barely makes an interview with Jack's alter pers...more
Morgan is the host of a sex talk show, just renewed for its second season encouraging her to seek out more risque information. Morgan is also being stalked. To hopefully throw off her stalker she moves to Texas to live with her secret half brother Brandon and pretends they are actually an engaged couple. No one can know she is his half sister because she is the result of his senator father's affair. Her most recent show topic is about dominance and submission, and she is put into contact with 'M...more
I go into Shayla Black's books fully aware that I am going to get lots of sexytimes at the expense of a severe drought of believable characters and plot. Okay, whatevs. Win some, lose some. The obvious tooliness of the premise (Morgan gets a *gasppp* dangerous stalker and Jack whisks her off to three days of hot hot sexytimes in a swamp in the middle of nowhere, where this stalker, despite his previous lack of hesitance at getting uncomfortably close to Morgan--he SHOOTS BULLETS at her on a busy...more
I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while, especially after I read and reviewed my first Shayla Black, Decadent, last year and really liked it. I figured I’d like this one just as well. But somewhere along the way, I figured wrong. This book didn’t work for me nearly as well as Decadent.
I like the characters, Morgan and Jack, just fine, the sexual tension between them is edgy and sensual. The plot is intriguing, as are the secondary characters. What turned me off is the way Jack...more

About the book:
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.
Though Jack is a bodyguard, Morgan feels anything but safe in his presence. Because slowly and seductively, ...more

I read this book because it stood on Shayla's website that there wasn't going to have a menage in it, but what a surprise, there was one and I got so uncomfortable that I just fast read that particular scene. The plot were wicked and not at all interesting. The heroine, Morgan, was just straight up annoying, from her background story to the sexual fantasies and sexual issues, she was so plain selfish and greedy. I couldn't believe that Jack would fall for that girl, when she pratically demanded ...more
I liked this book a lot. Morgan seemed okay and believable as she is running for her life and questioning her sexuality. Although she came about a tad whiny a times(wanting to leaving Jack's protection, knowing full well that she had a crazy stalker on her trail).

Everyone looks for something different when they read erotica. (Those of us who actually read erotica – or admit to reading it- that is. *g*) Often times we have to forsake some of our wish list to get other needs (so to speak) met. Shayla Black’s novel Wicked Ties surprised me- in a good way.

This book has a lot of bondage/submission sex within the backdrop of a good story.

Goodreads REALLY needs half stars! It drives me batty that they don't. ;) I went back and forth between 4 and 5 stars...and settled on 5 because of what this book it, it's great. It's just that straight erotic romance isn't really my thing. I tend to get bored. How can you get bored while reading all about hot sex?? I don't know, I just do. It's like how I don't really like vanilla romances either...I need some paranormal aspect or something to truly hold my interests. However, that's not Shayla...more
My Review:
Just meeting Jack for some input for her TV show, Morgan is soon thrown under his bodyguard protection when someone tries to kill her. Jack is immediately drawn to Morgan and then shocked to learn that she is truly a redhead (she wears a wig for her tv show), much like the one that he's been dreaming about for months. In his family, the men dream about their true mate.

When I started this book I didn't think I was going to like it. It took Me four months to read it, and I could never seem to find a rhythm with this one. Until the end.
Now that I've finished it, I have to say this is one hell of a book. Her story is exciting and suspenseful with a GREAT twist at the end, her characters are all very real, thrown in to harsh situations and her sex scenes are incredibly hot.
