Search - Secret Ties

Contemporary erotic romance by Opal Carew. Summer is a candy maker, who attends an erotic convention, to sell erotic candy with her friend, who is an erotica author. Summer is mousy, and conservative. There she meets a gorgeous, commanding Dom, Max. Before you know it, Summer is submitting to Max, and on her way to recognizing her deepest desires. Now, back home, the two men that Summer has been torn between, are waiting for her, Kyle and Shane. Can either one of them give Summer what she needs? This book has alot to offer, romance, torrid sex scenes, D/s, and menage. Its fairly well written, but I found it a little....tepid. Its a sweet, yet twisted and kinky romance, with very little conflict. Everybody is just so nice and reasonable. No villians here. The book is better than fair.

OK, boys and girls. This book is interesting in that it has some good sex scenes - all kinds - a good intro to BDSM. Unfortunately, the writing style leaves A LOT to be desired. There is no character development, no descriptives whatsoever of any sort, no motivational theories, and the writing style is simplistic and elementary (but typical of this author) The storyline shows so much promise, but the actual sex scenes are over with in just a couple of paragraphs. I've read better written sex scenes in historical regency romances! There is no hint of WHY the 'heroine' does what she does, or what she's thinking, so that leaves me wanting more from this story. If you want simply written sex scenes, this is your author.

Won't go over the plot again but will remove all books by this author from my WL and RL. As stated before, good premise but very poor writing. Almost "Dick and Jane" style IMO. I have tried several times with her and am not going to try any longer.

I actually really liked this story. Max trains Summer to be a submissive. I liked that his methods were sexy and not painful or humiliating. The story gets more interesting when Summer realizes she is in love with her two friends Kyle and Shane. Talk about a love triangle!! This book has a little farfetched HEA but fun none the less. Max is my favorite!
