Product Description
When Summer meets Max Delaney, she instantly falls under his spell. Max is a master of bondage and submission, and Summer yearns to be dominated by him body and soul. Max tutors her in the pleasures of submissive sex, and together they explore Summer's most hidden fantasies. But can she surrender to her ultimate desire: to share herself with three men at once? And is this merely a red-hot fling, or does she have a future with Max outside the bedroom?

of sex, then this is the book for you!
I'm quite new to this author, but saying that, I've rated her a 5 for the first book I read, Forbidden Heat, 3 for Twin Fantasies, 4 for Blush and this is a low 3. You might ask why - well, I think I've summarised above.
Don't get me wrong, Opal Carew knows her vocabulary, syntax etc., etc., and she can certainly write a story and make it flow, which this one did, at an incredible pace, but I asked myself if it was likeable, were the characters believable and was there a HEA and the answer to all three was NO, so for me this was not a Keeper.
Summer is a chocolate maker who has a boutique in an upmarket hotel, but has created chocs for a sex-expo that she is attending with her friend, and of course, the chocolate suckers (choc lollies shaped like willies!), giant chocolate willies and the likes get her attention, and she agrees to a weekend fling with Max, a Dom, as she cannot make her mind up as to whether to put the moves on Shane or Kyle, best friends, whom she both fancies. Yes, she has thought menage-a-3 for a while, but suddenly is a convert to BDSM.
Luckily, the BDSM was very light, not the masochistic stuff you often see, and the tale went along fine, and very quickly, you could see how the fling went from a one-off to a once-in-a-while. What I didn't really like is that Summer seemed to blow hot and cold, one minute sleeping with Max and wondering if she has feelings for him, then making a move on both Shane and Kyle, then backing off, having made them an offer of a menage, before they have a chance to digest it and make their minds up. That's followed by her then starting to sleep with them (straight into menage-a-3), then going back to Max, then back to them and so on, culminating in a menage-a-4.
THEN, out of the blue, Max then proposes and she accepts, and without her knowing, he has gone behind her back to explain to Shane and Kyle that they can be her lovers for as long as she and Max want them, and then if the guys find women of their own, they might end up in a 6-some? Yes, she's up for all of the above, but for things to have been discussed, in my book, would have been nice.
Yes, it was hot and naughty, but I did not think that there was true love and that the ending constituted a HEA, and for me, that spoiled the tale. Still, I have SIX by the same author to read and review, but maybe after that, she will be a 'borrow from the library' rather than a 'buy and keep'. Incidentally, I've not preordered her summer 2010 release, Bliss, as this is connected to Blush, which also IMO did not have a true HEA. Hopefully Bliss will have a HEA.

Secret Ties
15 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
When Summer Anderson took her themed chocolate confections to an adult entertainment trade show, she never dreamed how her life would change. She and best friend Tanya had a booth set up so she could sell specialty chocolates designed for the event and Tanya could peddle her latest book. Everything at this show was new to Summer, and she felt out of her element. She had never been exposed to the explicit sexuality on display everywhere. When she saw an incredibly sexy man staring at her just exuding supreme dominance, it made her very nervous. Tanya later introduced Summer to him, and she was surprised at her instant heart stopping attraction to him.
Max Delaney had lived the lifestyle as a dominant since the loss of his beloved wife. He never got seriously involved with any of the women he trained, and had no problems letting them go when the time came for the relationship to be over. Upon meeting Summer, he knew that this relationship would be different, but still planned to bring out the suppressed passion in this beauty knowing they only had the weekend.
When Summer arrived back home, and into reality, she made the decision she was no longer going to sit on the sidelines waiting for her life to begin. She has wanted best friends Kyle and Shane for so long, but settled for friend status until now. It was going to be her mission to seduce them both into a ménage relationship. Things were starting to progress as planned until Max showed up, and told her how much he missed her.
I have been disappointed with this author's last few books, but this one was a pleasant surprise! I enjoyed the sexual intensity between Max and Summer as he takes her on a journey of self-discovery. The erotic passages are very hot, and will make you melt. The characters could be more defined, and the story could use some background work. Still, overall an enjoyable read.

Wasn't what I expected.
9 May 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Summer owns her own chocolate shop and makes chocolates in a small town. She's a bit insecure and she's really shy. She has two best guy friends (who are also best friends with each other) that she has massive crushes on but is too shy to make the first move.
She ends up going with her friend to a sex convention where her friend is selling and signing her new released erotica novel and suggested that Summer make some chocolates that would match the theme of the convention. There she meets Max. And that's when her life changes. Max introduces her to the world of BDSM and how to open herself up more (literally and figuratively) and go after what she wants.
From the start, the sparks between Summer and Max come quickly in the book and the weekend they spend together during the convention lead to a lot of BDSM, then she leaves to go back home and though she's happy to finally home and see her two best friends that she's practically in love with, she can't stop thinking about Max. Though out the time that she is home and trying to pursue both of her best friends, she still keeps in contact and a few times, see's Max. I liked the friendship between Summer and her two best friend's prior to her pursuing them. After she did pursue them, I felt the book got a little awkward. The characters didn't have much (or any) of story line, there wasn't a back story to really anyone but Max. And after awhile, it kind of just felt like a porno, in a book. I might as well had started playing that funky tacky porno music while reading this book! It was so awkward that I started skipping the steamy scenes in search of some kind of story plot. But I didn't find one.

Another winner from Opal
10 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I don't know how Opal Carew does it. She came out of no where about 2 years ago and ever since then every single one of her books never fails to thrill.
I say thrill because Opal's books are HOT! Erotica at its absolute best. If her books don't turn you on and push you over the edge... you're probably not into erotica.
Her latest book, Secret Ties explores BDSM and there's even a threesome scene but its mostly focused on the 2 main characters. the fact that Summer get's it on with 3 guys in this book might be a turn off for some, but Opal makes it work without the guilt.
Beyond hot, its a definite page burner and another masterpiece from Opal. My only complaint is that it'll be another 6-8 months before we get another Opal book.
