BEG ME
Beg me...there had been a time when those words made her burn with desire. But now, there was only fear.
Once, Tania Sinclair's life was almost perfect...But a couple of tragedies later, she's barely holding it together. A car accident took away her husband, and an attack from somebody she should have been able to trust has shaken not only her confidence, but it's also stripped away her fantasies and even made it painful to look back on her memories of her husband without fear.
Two years after her attack, Tania is determined to take her life back and the first step is taking back herself...her fantasies, her dreams, her memories.
Falling for your best friend's wife—never smart. Drake's watched Tania quietly for years, watched her...wanted her, knowing he'd never have her. First, she was taken. And then, that night two years ago—a night that still scars her, a night that's left bruises on her that still haven't healed. He does what he can, though, because he loves her too much not to. He's her friend, there when she needs him.
And now she needs him. She's asked him for a favor...one that just about blows his mind...
Warning: This book involves light bondage play, rape fantasy & role-playing. The acts between the hero & heroine are consensual, but they may not be ideal for all readers...
TEMPT ME
Contemporary spicy romance
She's a temptation he can't resist...
Roxanne 'Rocki' Monroe's life is full of secrets and hidden heartaches. Cole Stanton would love to heal her pain and chase away the ghosts of her past, but she's just a complication he doesn't have room for in his life.
Or so he thinks.
It doesn't take Cole long to realize he's more than willing to let temptation get the best of him, more than happy to deal with complications if that's what it takes to get her.
What he has and what he needs are two different things...and what he needs is Rocki.

Bound Temptations includes two short novels by Shiloh Walker - Tempt Me and Beg Me. Both of these novels include sexual content while Beg Me involves light bondage play, rape fantasy and role playing.
In Tempt Me, Rocki is trying to live a "normal life" after burying her husband and chasing the ghosts of her past. In walks Cole, engaged to the woman who is opening a shop in competition to Rocki. While Cole and Rocki meet during a benefit, she knows he is off limits... until he breaks off his engagement and pursues Rocki. This story is reminds us of the power of love to overcome even the most horrific nightmares of our past.
Beg Me introduces us to Tania who loses her husband and her enjoyment of fantasy sex play. While she desires fond memories of the time with her husband, another man has taken them and turned them into nightmares. How can she reclaim her fantasies, dreams and memories? By asking her best friend to help her ease back into her life. What happens next, well, you'll need to read the book!
I enjoyed both of the stories. Each female character had been hurt in their past and they are now reclaiming their life. These are stories of happy endiings.
My Review: TEMPT ME
Rating: A-
This is just one of those books that has a little bit of everything. Five years ago, Rocki's cop husband was shot in the line of duty. After lingering, he died and his absence has broken her heart. She's open to loving again, but has never even been tempted until she meets Cole. Instantly she feels an attraction to him....a connection, but Cole is engaged.
Rocki owns a lingerie shop and is a corset designer. She's passionate about making women of all shapes and sizes feel beautiful and sexy. Cole's fiance is a witch with a capital "B". She plans to open her own lingerie shop in the neighborhood and is relentless about finding Rocki's designer, not realizing that Rocki is that designer.
Cole finally decides he doesn't really know this woman he is engaged to and breaks off the engagement. Immediately, things start to heat up between him and Rocki....and it just happens to coincide with the increase of danger surrounding Rocki because she has a stalker. The element of danger and suspense added a lot to this romantic story.
I loved Rocki's character. She's come a long ways and is extremely self-confident. She's a strong character and completely self-assured about where she is in this world. She's had some hard things in her past, but she's overcome and has a good life. She's all about empowering women and I loved that about her.
Cole...I liked him too, but just could not understand why he put up with his fiance as long as he did. She was truly awful and for so long, he just went along with it. That made it hard for me to get completely behind his character although he definitely comes a long ways through the story. I do really like both him and Rocki together. Great chemistry here.
Overall this was a fun book to read with great settings and story details. You have to love a story set around corsets.
My Review: BEG ME
Rating: A
One word for this book- devastating. Tania lost her husband to a tragic death 3 years ago. One year later, his twin violently attacked and raped her causing her to kill him in self-defense...the man with her husband's face. Drake has always loved Tania even though she was married to his best friend and he will do anything to help her including shredding his own heart to help make her whole again.
This book is so incredibly emotional. The trauma that Tania has been through is simply devastating, but she is tired of being a victim and wants to take control of her life esp. her sexual one again. Drake has been the one that has been there for Tania in every way since her life fell apart. Now she is going to trust him to help put her back together.
The scenes between Drake & Tania are incredibly HOT. OMG, this book is really very sexy. I had my doubts going into it, because there is a lot of real trauma there that I thought would give the story an undesirable edge, but the underlying emotions just ramp up all their encounters in such a way that it makes the book just sizzle off the page.
Drake loves and adores Tania and he absolutely is NOT going to do anything to hurt her. The problem is, because he loves her so much, he is opening up his heart to being shattered. I don't want to give anything away, but OMG, I LOVED IT!
I cannot explain just how good this book was. If you like erotica and don't mind a little light BDSM, then you DEFINITELY NEED TO CHECK THIS BOOK OUT!!
This book has two stories about widows in it. I loved one and hated one.
TEMPT ME
I loved this one. It was fantastic! Rocki is a big girl who lost her husband and rebuilt her life. She runs her own lingerie store and designs specialty corsets. When she first meets the handsome Cole he is in her shop with his fiancé. There is instant attraction but he is taken and so off limits.
I loved this story because of Rocki. She has overcome adversity. She has a sense of humor and an unconquerable sense of self.
BEG ME
This story started out okay. Tania lost her husband to a car wreck. His twin raped her and she killed him. Now she wants to get her life back. The problem is she likes rough sex and the only one she trusts to help her get that back is her husband’s best friend Drake.
The Publisher included this warning for this story:
Warning: This book involves light bondage play, rape fantasy & role-playing. The acts between the hero & heroine are consensual, but they may not be ideal for all readers…
It was not for me. I don’t mind some rough but this one crossed the line for me. Especially since Tania is a rape victim.
