was a story that I deeply had a great time with and I am so happy that I was able to really read this one.
I have been wanting to continue this series since reading "Wicked Lovers' I will say that this story was just different than book one and had a turnaround that I wasn't expecting which I have some mixed feelings over.
I was really curious to see how this author would handle a menage and yes in some ways it's definitely not a menage but for the relationship side of things, it's a bit more complex than that.
I really found the premise very interesting, I enjoyed the sassy personality of the heroine and our hero is such a brute at times haha He is a tortured hero so he comes with baggage and is having to deal with a woman that makes him feel deeper than anyone else ever has.
I really enjoyed the sex scenes but I think the plot is what really intrigued me.
The author brought different elements to this story to build upon the complexity of the relationship and the various backgrounds that each character has.
I really found it fascinating to see, There is plenty of alpha male action though, from both the main characters and side characters, I was so amused by the heroine's brothers.
I have a feeling they will have books in the future because I am so intrigued and they have some unique sexual backgrounds which was very interesting.
If you are a fan of menage and erotic romance and enjoy this author's writing style, then you definitely need to try this one out.
I think you will have a solid good time! That wasn't bad, but it wasn't good enough as well.
I have to admit the sex was hot but I the big secret and Deke's major hang up wasn't exactly major to me.
I didn't like how he treated Kimber, even when he made it up to her in the end.
He's too hung up, has a lot of emotional baggage and he's an ass, didn't really appreciate him.
Kimber was really emotional, but it's understandable having to deal with that kind of fd up situation, and I hated Jesse he's such a.
. . I don't have the one word to describe how idiotic and spineless he is,
I wasn't impressed much by the story because it reminded me of the first, where the hero has a big secret that's hindering him from giving himself totally to the heroine.
In this case, Luc, Deke's cousin is the third in the menage and he's actually the good cop to Deke's bad cop.
Though I didn't really liked this, I'll still continue to read the rest of the series.
WOW! Sex sex everywhere and Shayla Black just gets right into it, Fantastic story too. She is a phenomenally skilled story teller, LOVED THIS!! Le doy lasestrellas por la maravillosa erótica de Shayla Black, A parte de eso, la trama sinceramente no se sostiene, La forma en la que la protagonista se inicia en la sexualidad ya me deja de piedra por incomprensible a todas luces.
Si evitais darle vueltas a la trama, os encantará, La quimica entre los personajes está muy bien conseguida y te atrapa a sus páginas, ese es el punto fuerte de Shayla Black, y por eso es de las mejores.
I am so glad to finally be done with this book, There was nothing likable about Kimber or Deke throughout most of the book, The only person in the story that was half was decent was Luc, What a sweetie!
I realize that you have to suspend a certain amount of reality when you read romance/erotica, but this was insane.
Are we really supposed to believe that Kimber would go to a man that she was convinced didnt like her, so that he could teach her all about ménage, so that she can live happily ever after with a pop star that she has not laid eyes on in FIVE years Whateva!!!!!
Deke is one of the biggest Dheads that I have ever had the displeasure to read about.
He has this deep dark secret that keeps him from being in a relationship oneonone with a woman.
He keeps mentioning a girl named Heather and what he did to her that was so bad, he can only participate in threesomes.
So I keep thinking to myself this little tidbit must be really bad, When I finally get to the part, OMG what a let down, It's not terrible and doesnt justify why he has treated Kimber like crap for most of the story.
So he spendsyears fretting over this terrible thing that has made him so miserable, only to get over it inpage! COME ON!!!
Luc was the shining light throughout the whole book.
His book is next in this series, and yes I am going to read it, But he turns into an ahole too, I wont be reading anymore of her books,
To be fair, the sex in the book is hot and worth a,star rating, as far as the ménage goes, I've read much better.
Holy smutty smut of all smuts! This was hot hot HOT!
Kimber is a young naive girl who is saving herself for a popstar, Jesse, she believes herself to be in love with because they spent a summer together when
they were teenagers.
But she finds out through tabloids the type of sex life he lives and decides she needs to learn how to accomodate his lifestyle.
So she goes to Deke, An old employee of her fathers, He lives the same kind of sex lifestyle that Jesse lives, ménage, She talks him and his cousin Luc into teaching her about the lifestyle without taking her virginity.
But naturally everyone ends up catching feelings for one another, But Deke is living with secrets that he keeps from Kimber which come to bite him in the ass.
And then on top of all that Kimber's father's occupation is to put bad guys behind bars.
And he has someone with a vendetta against him, So Kimber also has a weirdo coming after her because of her father,
This book was soooo smutty! And I absolutely loved every single freaking page, These guys even though Deke was rough around the edges just catered to Kimber and it was kinda of beautiful in a super smutty way.
Lol.
I did not read the first one and I still understood what was going on.
So this can be read as a standalone, : .STARS!
What the hell happened Deke was such a sweetheart in Wicked Ties! But I get why he keeps pushing Kimber away.
Deke Trenton has a serious case of blueballs, The poor guy desperately wants Kimber, but hes just too closed up for the kind of relationship that Kimber is looking for.
Now although I was a little sad to see Deke act like such an asshole, there was another jack off I hated even more than him and that was Jesse, the pansyass rockstar who assumes that all women love him.
The asshole could not have been more wrong! Kimber was stupid enough to fall for a loser like him and decided that she needed to brush up on her skills to live on the wild side with Jesse.
What a stupid, stupid girl! But I came to like Kimber in the end, even if she was foolish enough to fall for someone like Jesse.
My favourite parts of the book is even Deke goes off and calls Jesse a bunch of hilarious names! Mr.
MMMbop and Lance Bass, LOL! God, I love Deke!
But nevertheless, that decision brought her to Deke and Luc.
Now I didnt think Decadent was as good as Wicked Ties, but it was still one of the better ménage books Ive read.
I actually felt something for the character regardless if it was love or hate,
I really liked Luc, I thought he was such a sweetheart and it was a great contrast to Dekes weird hotonesecondandcoldtheother attitude.
The three of them together was HAWT! Black knows what shes doing, thats for sure!
I cant wait to read about Luc and Alyssa next in Delicious!
Favourite Quote:
"You keep calling and upsetting my woman, and I'm going to break every fucking bone in your body, you pansyass falsetto son of a bitch.
" With Decadent, Shayla Black once again demonstrates how erotica can also be good literature.
Unlike so many writers in this subgenre who focus only on great sex, Black insists on little things like plot development, characters with personalities, character motivation and, you know, stuff like that.
I've read this book twice now, After the first read, I wasn't as keen on it as I was on the related story, sitelinkWicked Ties.
But everyone I knew was raving about it so I thought that maybe I'd missed something.
. .
Deke Trenton is really a deep character, He's haunted by a ghost and that ghost has determined his behavior with women since he was a teenager.
At first glance, you think Deke is a majorleague alpha male, while his cousin, Luc, is the ultimate beta.
If you come away with that opinion, read the book again, Deke does display all the traits of an alpha male, except that of leadership, He doesn't lead, he follows, And the revelation about his past and the reasons for his uncharacteristic behavior only adds to his depth.
Meanwhile, our heroine, Kimber Edgington, shows tremendous growth in her character as the plot unfolds.
The fact that she's drawn to Deke's caustic personality rather than Luc's gentleness is a reflection of the type of men she grew up around father and brothers are all strong alpha types.
What is puzzling is why she ever thought she wanted to be with a falsettosinging wimp rock star.
. .
After the second reading, I have a much greater appreciation for the characters' motivations and their actions.
Despite heavy dom/sub and menage a trois M/F/M sex throughout the book, the depth of the relationship between Deke and Kimber tugs at the heartstrings.
She is understanding, but not a doormat for his verbal abuse, He is selfloathing, but willing to rethink how his past colors his world when his cousin, Luc, finally knocks him upside the head.
I always find external influences far more credible than sudden selfawareness and epiphanies,
I can't wait for Luc's story Delicious which is due out in Spring, Once again, Black has demonstrated that you can have all the sex that defines erotica and tell a good story.
If you enjoy this book and you haven't read sitelinkWicked Ties, that should be next on your TBR list.
WARNING: This book does contain real, raw, raunchy, menage a trois M/F/M sex and lots ofletter words.
Romantic Suspense/Erotica/Ménage
I had very high hopes and expectations for Shayla Blacks Decadent after reading her boldly erotic delight Wicked Ties and Decadent did not disappoint.
Although not quite as perfect as Wicked Ties, Decadent is an emotionally charged, scorching HOT read about a complex ménage relationship.
Author Shayla Black writes amazing dialogue and deliciously erotic scenes that will make your toes curl.
This is one of my top favorite erotica novels! It's a wickedly steamy read, . . Decadent indeed! I LOVED it!stars! El libro iba genial, pero la tozudez de Deke consiguió agobiarme.
. . y encima el porque de su trauma me resultó tan absurdo que incluso me cabreo bastante.
