This is the 3rd book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Michelle already loves the D/s relationship she has with Tank. Tank however wants to bring their relationship to another level and feels the time is right to do so. Is Michelle read for a Master/slave relationship? Will this bring them closer together or tear them apart? Fast-paced read with plenty of drama, emotion and steam. I loved it!
Fast fun read. Interesting storyline that was well written. Author did an amazing job grabbing my attention from the first chapter and never losing it. Many twist in the plot to keep it enjoyable. Read cover to cover because it was that good. Five stars.

This is book three in the auction Night series. Michelle and Tank are already in a relationship and have welcomed some Dominate and Submissive scenes. Tank is interested in taking it further, to the next level with Michellle and we are not talking a ring. He wants them to try and explore Master and Slave but Michelle is unsure. The charity auction at the Ties That Bind is coming up a perfect time to take the chance. Michelle is up on the auction block but will she be able to trust in Tank and herself to explore more? I enjoyed reading this story and getting to know Michelle more and seeing her explore and grow and learn more about herself. I cannot wait to read about the next lady on the auction block. Enjoy!

I am thoroughly enjoying The Ties That Bind series and Michelle and Tank made for a great read. I loved their relationship, I loved the respect and commitment they had for each other, and I really loved how Tank always valued Michelle’s feelings. Tank is an amazing Dom and Master who imprinted himself on my heart every step of the way.
Ellie Masters writes this series in a way that it doesn’t matter which order you read them in. You are always given enough in each book to follow along. Each book focuses on the same event, the auction, but from the POV of different couples, so it makes it really interesting reliving events through a different set of eyes each time.
This story is about Michelle and Tank. Michelle is finding her way, growing into her self awareness and Tank is just the man to do it.This story will take you into their story, can she trust Herself to go through the auction and what will Tank plan to do in the dungeon room and for how long?

4.5 Stars
A short, hot, beautiful d/s, m/s, romance story. Its beautifully written too. I love reading about their different levels of commitment and their love for each other.
This series has been amazing. Michelle and Tank’s story caused me to pause and take note of my inner fears. Through all the mental turmoil she put on herself, Michelle was one strong person on the outside. Tank’s support and guidance along with Katy helped provide Michelle with the clarity she needed to make the auction a memorable event.
I highly recommend this book and the entire series. You will NOT be disappointed.

This is book 3 in the Auction Night series and absolutely incredible! Michelle and Tank are in love and have been together for years. Tank wants to take their relationship to another level as Master/slave, and wants to use the auction at Ties that Bind to do so, he just needs to convince Michelle of this. Michelle has concerns and anxiety about this next step. I adored Tank and Michelle and they are perfect together. Their story is sweet, passionate, and their chemistry was palpable. This story was seriously amazing, in fact the whole series is, I highly recommend you give it a read you won’t be disappointed.
Touching BDSM Journey!!
I love that each story in this series takes part in the same timeframe. Just from the viewpoint of the different couples. It is great to “see” the other couples in the different stories and remember their narrative.
Here Michelle is not sure she wants her Sir to become her Master. She loves Tank and enjoys him being her Dom but does not what to lose her freedom. As they each explore what they and their partner want and need, tensions rise as they may not reach the same destination. Absolutely adored this!!
**I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book**
I loved the first two books in this series and book three, Michelle’s story did not disappoint. Masters does such a wonderful job of telling an exciting and sec’y story while also being able to show a Dominant and submissive heart. The struggles, thoughts, decisions are all accurate to the lifestyle. Throw that into a story with hot Dominant men and sexy subs and you have perfection. Michelle’s journey from submissive to auction night is so much fun to read. The twist at the end truly made the whole story. I guarantee you too will fall in love with Tank and Michelle!
All of the suspense continues in book 3 of Michelle: The Ties that Bind by Ellie Masters. This story was full of passion, love and an immense sexual power play of the relationship between Tank and Michelle. Now Tank who is a loving but a demanding master as a Dominant will keep testing Michelle as his Submissive to be honest with her feelings and admit she is ready to take their D/s dynamic to the next level as Master/Slave as this is their destiny. Will Michelle admit to herself that she is already to give Tank what he yearns for them both? Will she back out of the auction on Tank’s orders or will she see that the fears she thinks she has regarding giving up complete control to Tank is unwarranted as she is already in that mind space? What is going through Tank’s mind when he bids on her and what does he have in mind in the dungeon will it be for one night, one week, or forever? Love the interaction and play between these two as Michelle will finally understand what she has known all along as she takes matters into her own hands .The love and bond these two have is intense and insightful and well worth the read. Still hoping for Kate to finally get her Master but excited for the next installment of the Auction Night to find out what happens between Edge and Ivy. This fast paced steamy story by Ellie which will give you a better understanding and insight of the dynamics between a Master/Slave.

Another really brilliant short read from Ellie. Very different from what you expect especially if you have read Alexa and Penny. Whereas there is steaming hot action this is more about Michelle fighting her feelings, emotions, wishes and desires to decide what she really wants. As very happy sub to Dom Tank, she isn’t sure if she wants to be his slave. You feel her conflict, her desire to give Tank what he wants, yet fearing hat this means for her. As for the ending, well lets just say fabulous !!
I think if more relationships had that much love and desire coupled with trust and compassion there would be more happy couples in the world. Confidence is so sexy, whether you are a man or a woman. I loved Tank and where he saw him and Michelle going. This was sexy, passionate and compassionately written.

I’ve been enjoying this series. Tank wants to move to the next level and Michelle isn’t sure she wants to. She thinks that becoming a slave means she will lose herself. Tank shows her that she won’t. I enjoyed this glimpse into Tank and Michelle’s relationship. They seem to be a perfect couple. I can’t wait for Ivy’s story.

Michelle: The Ties That Bind by Ellie Masters
“A glance at the clock and I’m T-minus sixteen hours from disaster.” – Michelle
Michelle: a study in contradictions. Petite, stunningly beautiful, she could have any man. She chose Tank… Or perhaps, Tank chose her… Michelle enjoyed everything about Tank: his dominance, his tenderness, his unerring judgment of what it was she needed, even if she was unaware she needed it. But now… Now Tank wants to take their relationship to the next level…
Will Michelle become the submissive Tank believes she’s always been meant to be, or will she shatter their love on the altar of misunderstanding and hidden, unacknowledged resentments?
“The truth shall set you free.” John 8 :31-32
A sweet, subtle love wrapped in desire flows throughout this book. The erotic scenes may be somewhat graphic, but the emotions between the characters are palpable. Beautifully entangled, Michelle and Tank stole my heart, and are sure to steal yours!
Ellie Masters just has the ability to make me feel everything that Michelle went through, her journey of understanding and acceptance of her feelings and her needs.
Tank is a great Dom, that will guide her through it.
I loved it and I cannot wait to know the story of Master Edge.

This is the third book in this series ties that bind. These are lovely stories. This book is about Michelle. The story is vividly written and the love is off the charts.
The love scenes are so hot and all the characters are naughty and wonderful.
Michelle is sweet, swearing and loveable. She is struggling what what she wants and what she is afraid of. Go grab this book
I wasn’t sure what I was going to get into with this latest addition to the Auction Night series. So far, we’ve met Alexa and Penny, and honestly, I wasn’t sure what could be next. Michelle and Tank’s story ended up being surprisingly sweet. Tank is one of those characters that you cannot help but like—a mountain of a man who is remarkably gentle and protective of those he loves and respects. Tank carries scars from his service to our country, but those scars do not keep him from being successful in his life. Michelle, who is beauty pageant beautiful, has depth and loves Tank for who he is and the role he plays in her life.
Ok, there’s the whole Dominant/Submissive thing going on and a change in that dynamic for Tank and Michelle. However, that is not what I saw in this story. I saw two people falling in love and the growing pains their relationship was going through to get to the next place. I saw the internal struggle of Michelle and the resolution of that inner battle.
This whole story was hot, and it was fun. I liked these people, much as I have all the characters Ellie has created in this universe. It’s a new and different genre for me, and it is fascinating to look, “behind the veil,” so-to-speak. So, go bold and read this book; it’s smoking hot, yo!
Ellie Masters has definitely written an eye opening series, she has managed to entice me into reading, embracing and enjoying the lifestyles of these characters. My love for this series grows with every book.
This is book 3 in the Auction Night Series and focuses on Michelle and Tank. These two already have a strong D/s dynamic but Tank wants to move things up a notch to the next level, he just needs to convince Michelle this is the right path for them both.
Gah!! Tank….As the name suggests the man is just that, his very presence commands attention. He’s strong, confident and extremely masculine. He’s a diamond in the rough and that’s why he appealed to me.
I loved Michelle too she’s sweet and a little bit sassy, her and Tank were perfection together.
I’m really excited for the next book in the series as Master Edge already fascinates me, I can’t wait to see him in action. 😉
The one thing Ellie Masters really does so well is build to a climax, leaving you wondering what that climax will be, and she has done this in all three of the Ties That Bind books so far. Michelle is one of those, and Michelle’s character grows as we read; she finds the parts of herself that she had ignored or that terrified her, and she is, by the end of this book, a stronger and happier person. And it’s Tank that has spurred her to this, and Tank is definitely my favorite Dom of the series so far. Their scenes together are, wow, and his love for Michelle is breathtaking. I could have read about them for hours.
I was gifted a copy of this book, and my review is voluntary.
