"Ties That Bind" will turn up the heat to scorching!

It kicks off with "Sins of the Father", one of my first stories by the legendary Queen of Steam, Jaid Black. Candy Morgan's family company was in trouble. Her father no longer alive to run things, Candy has been in charge, unaware that her father's former protege has been waiting in the wings, ready to take over at the first sign of weakness. James Douglas Mahoney III is ready to take out his revenge, and taking over Morgan Chemicals is just a small part of his plan. His real goal is to take over Candy, the prize that had been dangled before him years ago. This time he's not wearing rose-colored glasses - he knows exactly what he wants and he plans to get it. Unaware of Candy's innocence to his firing, or of her longtime crush on him, JD has specific ideas of Candy's new role in the company, and they involve fulfilling every fantasy he's ever had about her. Very exciting and erotic, "Sins" touches on some forbidden fantasies many women may have about being kidnapped or submission. I think the story focuses more on a woman's pleasure and not about humiliation as JD always is gentle and caring in his treatment of Candy. Definitely a must-read for fans of Jaid Black. "Surrender" by Lora Leigh kicks off her Bound Hearts series, and was my first by her. Cole has always made Tess nervous, but she can't deny how much she wants him. But rumors of his lifestyle have kept her away from him. Now her father wants her home, so she comes back for a visit, aware that Cole will be there, but is convinced she can resist temptation. But Cole is not taking "no" for an answer this time. He wants her badly, and will have her no matter what it takes. Cole believes there is a certain special bond that exists between him and Tess, one that includes bringing another man into their bedroom to bring her the ultimate fulfillment. Not just any man - his best friend Jesse. Cole loves Tess and only wants to make her happy, to give her more pleasure than she ever dreamed. But Tess feels her desires are wrong, dirty. With Cole's love, she learns that as long as they share in this pleasure together, her fantasies are something special between them, and not anything she should be ashamed of. Instead she finds her soul mate, the man who makes her feel alive and happy. Both stories have very strong sexual fantasies which are not for everyone. But for those who enjoy these types of fantasies, "Ties That Bind" will not disappoint. It's a book I highly recommend.

Very Entertaining

I enjoyed reading both stories, the authors are two of my favorites. You will love this book if you are into some bondage and two guys and one girl thing. If not, than this book is not for you. Although both stories are about sex the characters seem to be able to form a relationship, which somehow turns in to love. Both authors make their characters work for what they want, so that when you are getting toward the end of each story you don't want it to end.

A Scorching Romance by Popular Romantica Writer Lora Leigh

In the first book of the Bound Hearts series Lora Leigh introduces us to a very dominate Alpha male, Cole Andrews and the woman he loves and desires above all others, Tess Delacourte. Tess must decide if she can embrace the desires that burn in her and if she can abandon her control and trust in the love that Cole is offering. She is given a week to experience all of her darkest desires and must accept Cole for who he is or let him go forever. The is one of the most erotic love stories I have had the pleasure of reading. I very much enjoyed reading this story and am looking forward to reading more stories written by Lora Leigh.

Another scorcher from Jaid Black!

Ties that Bind is one of the most smoldering erotic anthologies I've read as of late, and Jaid Black's Sins of the Father is the highlight of the book. Candy Morgan is James's nemesis. Her father had promised him a lucrative career and a place in the family, but then he discarded James without a moment's hesitation. Now Candy must surrender to James's dark desires and commands if she wants to keep her side of the business running. But little did she imagine that James had an unexpected agenda...The erotic scenes in Father are insatiable beyond compare! The novella is full of Black's signature eroticism and mouthwatering descriptions. She is a great new voice in erotic fiction. I haven't been able to put down her books and I look forward to reading more of her stuff. Lora Leigh's Surrender, the other novella in Ties that Bind, is also a scorcher. These quickie reads will burn a hole in your sheets! I shall look into reading more of Ellora's Cave authors in the future. In the meantime, I recommend this book along with Jaid Black's The Possession.

Lora Leigh's Surrender

Lora Leigh's story Surrender is a stimulation of your erotic senses. This is the first in her Bound Hearts series and is riveting. This is the story of Tess Delacourte and Cole Andrews. Tess is a teacher with hidden desires she does not want to face. Cole works for Tess's estranged Father Jason at Delacourte Electronics. Cole is Jason's hand picked successor and the brother to Jason's second wife Missy. Cole is a dynamic,tough businessman who is used to getting everything he wants and he wants Tess. The relationship between these two is heated and intense. The addition of Cole's best friend Jesse adds a new dimension to the intensity of desires between the pair. This is a spicy hot read full of forbidden desires. Surrender is a great addition to Ms. Leigh's growing list of keepers for the erotic reader.
