I just love this author! When it comes to erotica's, this author knows how to write them. She knows how to perfectly balance the sex, the romance and the plot to where it is a wonderful read without just being sex all the time.Summer sells chocolates at an adult themed convention show. She is there with her good friend who happens to write steamy books. When her friend Tanya introduces Summer to Max, the sparks fly and the pages burn with romance! Summer finds herself curious about the BDSM lifestyle and Max is wanting to show her the ropes of BDSM. Max has lived the lifestyle as a dominant and knows that Summer would be a perfect sub in this lifestyle. When Summer gives up control to Max for the weekend, she feels like a new woman. When she heads home, she decides to take control of her sex life and go after the two men she has been best friends with and have also been in love with Summer. The whole time though, Summer finds herself missing Max and craving more of him. When Max shows up in the town where she lives, jealousy rears its ugly head from her best friends. They quickly realize that Max is who Summer wants.I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I love the way the author handled the ending between the characters of the book. Secret Ties is a must read if you are a fan of Opal Carew or a fan of erotica's. I can't wait to read more from this author! Summer Anderson and best friend Tanya set up a booth at adult entertainment trade show. Summer was there to sell specialty chocolates designed in shapes of penises and Tanya was there to sell her latest book. Summer felt a little out of her element. She'd never been exposed to explicit sexuality on display. Summer met Max at the trade show, he happened to be a friend of Tanya's.Max Delaney had lived the lifestyle as a dominant after the loss of his wife. He didn't get seriously involved with any of the subs and had no trouble letting them go. Summer turned out to be different. When she became his sub everything changed.Summer had desired her two best friends Kyle and Shane but settled for friendship. Her relationship with Max brought finally out her suppressed sexual passion. She seduced them both into a ménage relationship. Things get interesting when Max discovers he loves summer.Opal Carew never fails to thrill. Although I enjoyed the book I felt the characters could have been more defined, I didn't feel much of a connection with them.
