She’s undercover and in over her head…



When FBI analyst Tara Jacobs’ fellow agent and best friend goes missing while investigating a sex ring, Tara goes undercover as a submissive in a Dallas BDSM club called Dominion. But no man can top a woman with Tara’s moxie convincingly enough—until an edgy, dangerous Dom takes control of the scene and sets her heart racing with a single, commanding glance. Too bad he’s also the man who stole her innocence years ago—and the one to whom she will never submit.



He’s got everything under control…until he falls for her again.



Navy SEAL Logan Edgington once left the woman he loved to save her life. He knows Tara will never forgive him, but he has no doubt that he possesses the knowledge to master her fears and the strength to guide her through an unfamiliar world of pleasure and pain. He alone can protect her on a dangerous mission that reveals both wicked depravities and terrible secrets. Logan relishes the exquisite torture of holding her again, feeling her uninhibited response. No matter how much Tara insists their fling will end after this mission, he’s determined that she will be his again—and this time, he’ll never let her go.

~REVIEWS~


Brilliant!  Drop every thing!  Run to your favorite bookstore and grab a copy.  BELONG TO ME does not dissapoint!

BELONG TO ME by New York Times bestselling author Shayla Black recently released by Berkley Heat is one erotic adrenaline thrill ride. It was almost more than this reader could take.  Trying to catch my breath to absorb every erotic and titillating moment that this creative writer gives her legions of fans an extremely hot a sensual engaging read I could not have adored this book more.


Twelve years ago Navy SEAL Logan Edgington broke his high school sweetheart’s heart, but he had his reasons.  For the last dozen years or so he has never forgotten the smell the taste and the one girl who has had his heart.  Even being the most sought after Dom at Dominion club doesn’t ease his torment or the longing of touching; possessing and making her belong to him one more time.

FBI analyst Tara Jacobs is going undercover as a sub to save her friend who has gone missing while investigating a sex ring.  Tara will have to become the consonant sub but with her independent nature the Dom’s are have more than their work cut out for them.

What to do?

Send in the one man who always had Tara’s heart in the palm of his skillful hands.  Logan has never forgotten that one explosive time they spent together when they were sophomore’s in high school.  So when he sees the stubborn red head his body instantly reacts and he knows he is the only one that can bring this stubborn woman to submit to her true nature.

Tara is not in the forgiving or forgetting mood but to save her friend she will endure Logan touches that ignite her boy and heightened her senses giving her the most unbelievable pleasure she has ever experienced. 

Having second thoughts is not in Tara’s nature and she will do anything to take down this repulsive sex ring.  Even if that mean Tara has to endure the torturous sensual and erotic tutorials at the hands of the man who broke her heart.  

BELONG TO ME is the fifth book in New York Times bestselling authors Wicked Lovers series and my very first foray into the contemporary erotic romance side of this incredibly talented author. 

I need to state upfront that if you are not a BDSM fan (and who isn’t) then this book will not before you.  But I highly recommend that if you are entering the erotica world of romance that BELONG TO ME  will be the very first book you read.  This story was beyond what I had imagined it could have ever been.  I am one of those readers that if I can take elements away from the story and the characters and prose stand firm than this is the book for me.  I do not want readers to shy away from BELONG TO ME because of the explicit sexual scenes or the BDSM life style because those are only two elements of this mind-blowing prose that will have readers racing back to their favorite book store for more books in this series.

I am a true blue second chance at love kind of girl.  BELONG TO ME is one of my favorite second chances at love.  The reason I kept reading late into the night was partly due to hot alpha Dom and Navy SEAL Logan Edgington who in three words simply BLOW YOUR MIND and have readers begging for more.  Logan is not just that hottie alpha male that has a killer body and smile but this character is fleshed out so skillfully that you forget that he is a character and believe he is in fact real.  I was as engrossed with Logan as a person that the fact he was a Dom did not matter as much as Logan finding a way back into Tara’s heart.  Logan Edgington is a character that every romance junkies fantasize about having in their real life.  When you have one perfect male you need ‘the’ perfect partner. 

Tara Jacobs is everything that Logan needs.  Readers will understand why in the last dozen years Logan Edgington could not forget Tara Jacob or give up winning her heart.  Tara Jacobs is a kick-ass protagonist with a warm girly side.  Tara’s voice was just as loud if not more so than Logan’s due to being a logical created character who still lives with the sting of a broken heart.  These two strikingly crafted protagonists were beyond a pleasure to read and get to know. 

Every good book needs fantastic supporting characters that help move the story to its perfect ending.  BELONG TO ME for readers familiar with Shayla Black’s Wicked Lovers series will fell like a warm and very welcoming family reunion with Logan Edgington’s big brother, Hunter and his wife, Kata (SURRENDER TO ME) with brief appearance of Logan’s baby sister, Kimber and her husband, Deke (DECADENT). Yesm those characters are great but the one character that goes above and beyond in BELONG TO ME is Logan’s friend and fellow Dom, Xander.  Xander is an alpha male unto himself and then some.  This character interjects a comical wit which the author perfectly placed throughout the book.  He is your born-with-a-silver-spoon in his mouth, rich, beautiful and a fully sexually charged Dom that as a reader prays has his own story in the works.

Mentioned up above I am a die hard second chance at love kind of girl.  The theme of a second chance at redemption, forgiveness and yes—love was a potent aphrodisiac that kept me glue to BELONG TO ME.  Not only were the explicitly sensual sexual scenes tastily created but fit perfectly throughout the book.  The sexual escaped between the protagonists enhanced the prose of the story and in no way hinder the theme of when love gives you a second chance grab on, hold tight and fight to the bitter end until it is yours once again.

BELONG TO ME has dynamic characters with wit and charm expressed through charismatic dialogues, erotic sexually charged love scenes that will make readers a devote fanatic fan of Shayla Black.

I don't believe in 2nd chances because I have never had any luck with them.

I enjoy reading about BDSM. If is written well then it adds to the story which I like (guilty pleasure). I read to be taken away into a different time and place- the more detailed and "real" the more I enjoy the book.

I think the book cover is hot and sets the mood ;-)

I look forward to reading this book Shayla, congrats on the release.

I love second chances too. I think totally believe that if you let something good go and it comes back then it is truely meant to be.

BDSM is ok with me. I think there is a good aspect of it with being able to fully trust someone that much that makes its hot too.

Great review.I'm looking forward to reading this.
I do believe in second chances.I think everyone should have a chance to redeem themselves and fix their mistakes.

I like BDSM books.If its 2 (or more) consenting adults enjoying the life style then I'm all for reading it.

As for the cover.I love all of them in this series.Its a great cover.

I think everyone deserves a second chance. The choices someone makes when young are not necessarily the same choices they would make when older. People change and mature (one hopes).

I don't have a problem with BDSM, as long as it's two consenting adults and well written.

I am unsure about second chances, I think it depends on what it is for. I am willing to give second chances but I am always weary about it.

I enjoy reading the BDSM, its completely outside my normal life so its fun to escape, especially if it it written well.

Book cover is smokin hot, like it.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy, can't wait to read it.

yea i believe in second chances.. i think that people tend to screw up, and they sometimes deserve a chance to make ammends.. (not always though)

i havent read too many with the BDSM but i think if it adds to the story and isnt jarringly out of place, it could work
i love the cover!
