Contemporary Erotic Romance/ Nontraditional Sexualities

 

Kimber has a big problem, she is a virgin and the man she thinks that she loves is into ménages. So she sees no other choice but to go to the man she loved as a teenager and asks him to help her. Deke can’t believe what she is telling him. Five years ago he did everything imaginable to discourage the budding feelings that she was feeling for him and now his dream girl ask him do introduce her into the sensual world of ménages. Deke and his cousin have their work cut out for them. 

Ms. Black wrote with DECADENT a masterpiece of Erotic Romance. The best words to describe the book are absolutely Hot, Tantalizing and Captivating. As soon as you start reading, you are absolutely drawn into the story and Ms. Black takes you with her story on an emotional rollercoaster drive that will have you fanning yourself and nearly crying. In this reviewer’s opinion, Ms. Black is getting even better with each story. 

The heroes Deke and Luc are different like day and night. Deke is the powerful, blonde, Ex-Army Ranger who is haunted by his past. Luc is the dark, well-built, famous chef, who is in everything the opposite of his cousin. Together they are the dream come true for every woman. 

Kimber is a multifaceted heroine, who is sometimes a real innocent but sometimes a real kick-ass heroine. She undergoes quite the development as the story progresses and she learns what she really wants in her life, and that is Deke. Nothing will be able to change her mind no matter if it is a crazy stalker or her stubborn Navy Seal brothers.  

What this reviewer especially likes with Ms. Bradley’s books is the fact that you never can guess who the villain is. The end is always quite surprising. It’s wonderful not to know it from the very first beginning. 

DECADENT is the sequel to Wicked Ties and also it can be read as a stand-alone, this reviewer recommends to read Wicked Ties, too, because it’s another great book. 

This reviewer really hopes that there will be more sequels, because there are several characters that are nearly screaming to get their own stories. 

DECADENT is a book that this reviewer can highly recommend to everyone who loves hot and steamy ménage stories as well as very emotional stories!
