Conquer. Control. Command. They have. They are. They will. They are the Wall Street Royals, men at the top of their game who are about to be mastered by the one thing they never counted on: love. Don’t miss this seductively sexy new series by New York Times bestselling author Tara Sue Me.FOK: (noun) /fok/: Abbreviation for Fill-or-Kill, a term used in securities trading. To fulfill an order … To fulfill an order completely and immediately, or to not do it at all.
For Lance Braxton, it’s more than a trading term, it’s his motto. Do it. Do it now and do it completely or don’t do it at all. Some might see it as reckless or foolhardy, but Lance doesn’t care. It’s worked for him so far. Why change a good thing?
As a favor for his sick grandmother, Lance sits in on auditions for the Juilliard scholarship named after his late mother. He expects to be bored out of his mind. He expects it to be a waste of a Saturday he could spend working. What he does not expect is Celeste Walsh.
She has the body of a super model, the looks of a storybook princess, and plays the violin with the passion of a zealous lover. The moment he sees her, he has to have her. Wants to control her. Needs to master her.
Celeste Walsh is running out of options. She’s been accepted into Juilliard to play the violin, but if she can’t get a scholarship, she’ll have to turn them down. And if she turns Juilliard down, she’ll have no choice but to give up the violin and work as a waitress at her family’s restaurant in Nowhereville, Virginia.
She’s not sure accepting the scholarship is the smartest thing to do. There’s something about the way Lance looks at her that suggests he has more than arias and scherzos in mind. However, when she inadvertently witnesses an intimate moment between him and a date, she realizes being under his control holds more appeal than she thought.
Lance warns her he’s an all or nothing guy and if she steps into his bedroom, he’s not holding back. It’s not until her foot crosses the threshold that she understands just how serious he is. But even if she comes to trust him with her pleasure, does she dare trust him with her heart?

Wow… Ladies, Tara Sue Me is BACK!
There is no surprise that I love her kinkier, the steamier side of romance, I like her other stuff too, but I always find myself going back to her earlier work. The Submissive series. It is one of my ALL time favorites and I could read that series back to front over and over again and this new series? Well, the queen is back and I am so excited for the rest of the saucy storyline!
What a start to a series. I had no doubt in my mind that this new series by Tara Sue Me would go off with a bang. If you loved her Submissive series, you are going to devour this! Tara has flawed me once again and delivered a delicious, hot, intense and all-consuming plot, with characters you can’t help but fall in love with.
FOK is book 1 in the Wall Street Royals series and it focuses on two main characters Lance Braxton and Celeste Walsh and their undeniable chemistry.
Lance is a dominant alpha male, always in control, always getting what he wants and when he wants. He leads a pretty amazing and privileged life. His life motto is Do it. Do it now and do it completely or don’t do it at all. He is demanding and he is cutthroat, not someone you would want to mess with.
but though he may be all these things, he still has a heart of gold, he’s a charmer, a man that could and would charm my panties right off! He’s swoon-worthy and the definition of perfection, in my opinion, and that only increases when the author added in Celeste, firey, bold, a country girl, in New York after being accepted Juilliard to play the violin, but if she can’t get a scholarship, she’ll have to turn them down. And if she turns Juilliard down, she’ll have no choice but to give up the violin and work as a waitress at her family’s restaurant in Nowhereville, Virginia. Which is the last thing she ever wants to do.
After being asked to sit in on auditions for the scholarship at Julliard, which is named after his late mother, he had no choice than to accept, and he honestly thought it would be some kind of boring event and it was until he saw HER…When he laid his eyes on Celeste. He was swept away by her amazing body, her beautiful face and instantly knew that he wanted her, he needed her and he would get her. There was no stopping him.
These two together have an instant connection and attraction, both drawn to one another and this starts off as a highly intense relationship and Celeste can’t help but submit to this domineering, hot as hell wolf of Wall Street and they both lose themselves in each other.
Book one was so damn HOT and intense, what an amazing start to a series I know for sure that I am going to love! This is the Tara Sue Me books I have been craving since her last series came to an end. But do not get me wrong, everything she writes is beyond amazing!
YOU ALL NEED THIS BOOK!!
5-insanely-hot-stars!
3.5 stars—FOK is the first instalment in Tara Sue Me’s contemporary, adult WALL STREET ROYALS erotic, BDSM romance series. This is forty year old, billionaire businessman and Dominant Lance Braxton, and twenty-five year old violinist and submissive Celeste Walsh’s story line.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Celeste and Lance) FOK follows the building relationship between forty year old, billionaire businessman Lance Braxton, and twenty-five year old violinist Celeste Walsh. Hoping against hope to win a scholarship to the prestigious Juilliard School, a scholarship sponsored by the Murphy family, Celeste will come face to face with her future during the auditions for the coveted award. As the only female recipient in a number of years, rumours begin circulating when Celeste is moved into the Murphy-Braxton family mansion, a position that put her front and center with our story line hero. What ensues is the quick building D/s relationship between Lance and Celeste, and the fall-out as Celeste falls victim to another woman’s jealousy and spite.
The relationship between Lance and Celeste begins as a business arrangement based upon the Juilliard scholarship and mutual attraction. Unaware that our heroine was a submissive, Lance will discover Celeste is a natural both in and out of the bedroom. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate but I endeavored to feel true palpable sexual attraction other than one another’s need or desire for D/s control. There are some scenes of light spanking and discipline.
We are introduced to Lance’s business partners: Ty Bancroft and Isaac Murphy; Ty’s ex-wife and Isaac’s PA Lillian, Lance’s grandmother Barbara Murphy, and Lance’s new PA Alex Russell.
FOK is a quick read; a novella length story of insta-lust/love between two people rapidly advancing toward a D/s relationship. The premise is entertaining; the romance is spicy; the characters are energetic but I struggled with the limited background information about the leading couple, as well as the vindictive and strange behaviour of the person responsible for destroying Celeste’s heart. There is no summary to justify the how and why, or reasoning that would explain the nature of said actions and events. Here’s hoping future instalments are more detailed and determined.
An intriguing love story.
This is the story of Lance & Celeste. Lance works on Wall Street. Celeste is applying for a scholarship for Julliard, which Lance is overseeing because his grandmother is in the hospital. Celest plays the violin. After hearing her play, he takes her to the hospital to see his grandmother, because he doesn’t have the final authority to give her the scholarship. They have this attraction to each other. Lance’s grandmother gives him the condition that she will give the scholarship to Celeste, but he has to follow that condition. He is a dominant and she is a submissive. This story is on the mild side of BDSM. He is 42 and she is 25. Will that become an obstacle? Someone comes between them with interference. Will all be revealed in time? This is a steamy story, leaving you wanting more. I love Tara Sue Me’s books. Looking forward to more of her writing.
Celeste and Lance meet when she is auditioning for a scholarship in memory of his mother. Boy, oh boy! This was great for a short and quick read but it felt like
just a piece of their story. There was so much more I’d love to see from Celeste and Lance.
FOK was so good, if you loved The Submissive you with love this one! More please! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Celeste and Lance have an instant attraction in each other. It’s like the little Submissive is just the moth to the flame in this story and they are Scorching HOT! Like burn the kindle hot! This is one you are not going to want to miss at all.
A brand new series from Tara Sue Me is sure to entice! For fans of her previous Submissives series, there’s a new crop of dominants on the loose, and they’re pretty tempting! We meet Lance and his business partners Isaac & Ty and enjoy Lance finding his match in this first book, with the other guys coming up soon. Good characters, a believable plot and lots of sexy goodness! I enjoyed their story.
Lance Braxton has no idea when he agrees to fill in for his grandmother at the auditions for the scholarship that she set up in his mother’s name that he will meet the woman of his dreams. He’s not looking for anything more than the life he enjoys leading, but Celeste draws him to her. He would give anything to have her … and he will.
Violinist Celeste Walsh would give just about anything to be able to accept the Juilliard position she has been offered, but funds aren’t going to be there unless she gets this scholarship. She’d really hate to have to return home to Virginia and be stuck working in the family diner for the rest of her life. When opportunity comes knocking, she agrees to accept it … although she’s not sure she’s going to be able to resist the sexy temptation of the benefactor’s grandson!
I always look forward to any new Tara Sue Me book. Lance Braxton and Celeste Walsh are an interesting couple. He’s a successful, confident businessman who is also a Dom. Celeste is a talented violinist, beautiful, serene and submissive. They seem fated as a couple both recognizing their underlying chemistry. What might have been almost gets derailed by another’s betrayal. Lance discovers the problem almost too late but takes steps to win the woman he’s fallen for so quickly.
“You’ll be mine to tease, Pleasure and torment.”
Everytime Tara has a new release I don’t need to read any blurb it’s a given I will one click without ever having regrets. She is one of a few authors that I’m lucky enough to have found that are like this.
“She was not a newbie sub who needed to learn the rules. She was an experienced submissive who needed to know her Dom would follow through with what he said.”
This book has humor, friendship, honesty, deceit, regret, chasing dreams, self discovery, steaminess, control and so much more sprinkled throughout. It was very different than what I was expecting after the first few pages.
“ I don’t want you thinking about the past,” he told her. “That’s why we say it’s behind us. It’s only there if you go looking for it and I don’t want you to do that. Understood?
I can’t wait to crack open book 2 in the series Big Swinging D. There is so much potential for more books with all these great characters (hint hint)…I can tell I will be very sad when this series is over.
Always in control Dominant Lance of “Wall Street” meets the stunning and talented submissive “farm girl”, Celeste. With chemistry and curiosity too powerful to ignore, they explode into a fast-paced, hot and steamy read. With the utmost control and creativity of a Domme, Tara Sue Me does nothing less than make you feel it ALL, from start to finish!
