Lots of well-written, long, detailed D/s sex scenes I like Deke a lot, but read that he turns into a dick in the next book, so I think I’ll hold off on spending my $12.99. Deke, Jack’s partner and best friend joins them in a scene that was knock-your-socks-off HOT. Jack also didn’t handle her concerns very well, and was kind of a prick at times. I kind of wanted to kick her and tell her to live it up with a real Dom while she can. Morgan kept whining to herself about how she knew she wanted to submit but she didn’t want to be a freak. I just didn’t have that intense connection I get to other books, like any of Cherise Sinclair’s or Kristen Ashley’s books. If I really love a book, I can’t put it down. While there, he gets her over all of her emotional baggage and hangups that she had about sex, and makes her a perfect submissive. Jack immediately feels protective and takes her back to his cabin in the swamp to “protect” her. Morgan has a stalker who takes a shot at her while she meets with Jack. Jack actually has ulterior motives for meeting her–to get her into bed to get back at who he thinks is her fiance, for sleeping with his ex. Jack is a Dom and bodyguard Morgan is interviewing for her cable show about sex. ( I would have rounded my stars up if not for the price). Because I found this on so many lists, and because I spent more than $10, I expected this to be awesome. Really? The e-book is more than double? In what world does this make sense? This makes me love my indie authors even more. At least get your readers hooked before raping them out of their money! Or stand up to your publishers like one of my favorite authors, Jeaniene Frost did, and fight to lower e-book prices. I found Wicked Ties (Wicked Lovers 1) by Shayla Black on so many lists of top BDSM romance books that for the sake of the blog, I decided to bite the bullet and spend the $12.99 for the e-book, a ridiculous price for the first in a series.
