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 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?
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.
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.
Fill or kill.
Take her or leave her.
He's all in and the consequences be damned.

Even though she graduated with a degree in science, Tara knew she’d never be happy doing anything other than writing. Specifically, writing love stories.
She started with a racy BDSM story and found she was not quite prepared for the unforeseen impact it would have. Nonetheless, she continued and The Submissive Series novels would go on to be both New York Times and USA Today Bestsellers. One of those, THE MASTER, was a 2017 RITA finalist for Best Erotic Romance.
Now she is focusing on new contemporary romances that allow her the freedom to write and publish on her own schedule.

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.
[image error]
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!!

I love Tara Sue Me she knows how to write a book that captivate you instantly. This book did not disappoint. I do think it was rushed a bit but it still was so good. I could not put this one down. I can't wait to read the next book.

This was my first Tara Sue Me read, but I've known about the author for many years. I've always spotted her books in stores and put them on my wish list, but until now, I had yet to read any by the author. So I was happy to get the chance to read FOK and experience Tara Sue Me for myself.
This was an enjoyable start to the series. Celeste is a violinist auditioning for a private scholarship to Juilliard. If she doesn't get one this time, she'll probably end up back home working in her parents restaurant and her talent will go to waste. She finds out just before her audition that the grandmother who usually picks a winner is in the hospital, so the stand-in decision-maker is her grandson, Lance.
Lance is a big Wall Street tycoon. He does what he wants, gets what he wants and doesn't mince words. But when he sees Celeste perform, not only is he entranced with her musical talent, he's also in lust with her instantly. And of course when Celeste finally gets to see the face of the man who's been judging everyone harshly, she starts having fantasies about the guy.
Celeste wins the scholarship, but Lance tries to keep his distance from her. Of course, things don't stay that way and they begin a clandestine D/s relationship. But that 'relationship' lasts just a week really before someone tries to make trouble.
There's some light BDSM, which kind of surprised me. I really expected a lot more heat and commanding presence from Lance. Don't get me wrong, the intimate moments were steamy, but no where near as intense as I expected. It seemed like Lance was all talk and no action, but maybe that was all to come later on in their relationship and the book just ends before that happens.
My biggest complaint is that the book was too short (read like a novella) and that made some things seem rushed and unbelievable. This was definitely a case of insta-lust, which I don't have a problem with, I just wanted more details on everything. The insights into the characters just seemed surface level and I think that made it harder to really feel connected with the characters.
Regardless, I'll read the next book since I did enjoy the secondary characters introduced in this one and want to see how things go for them.

While I liked Tara Sue Me on FanFic, I'm finding the published books don't contain nearly as much smut and don't produce the same laughs. Also... this is NOT a BDSM book.
Celeste (25, violinist) shows up for her scholarship audition at Julliard only to discover the founding judge is in the hospital and has sent her grandson to judge and award the scholarship in her steed. Not only is Lance Braxton (42) attracted to the beautiful woman in front of him, but he's blown away by her talent. Lucky for us, the scholarship recipient is required to stay in the home with the scholarship awarder, in this case, Lance & his grandmother. Yada yada, she discovers he's a "Dom", they have sex, another woman warns her off, she runs away, he chases, HEA.
SEX/BDSM: The first oral is at 48%, sex at 58%. The only BDSM that takes place is he spanks her and he commands her do kneel. That's it. The sex was mediocre at best. It's said they have a weekend of sex, but it's all off page so it doesn't count.
It's short and there isn't much character building so at the end, I felt absolutely nothing for either of them.

The title has nothing to do with the book.
The whole story was very rushed. And all the beautiful details were skimmed. Instead we got loads of drama.
Verdict: I've read much better BDSM romances

FOK: Wall Street Royals, Book 1 by Tara Sue Me
Absolutely loved this book. The story is sweet and sinful all wrapped up in one. Make no mistake I would like to take the place of the heroine in a heartbeat. I have read several of Tara Sue Ma’s books and was excited to see a new series.
We meet smarty and witty Celeste Walsh, self-proclaimed badass, as she is getting ready for an audition. She is a violin player looking to get a scholarship to Julliard to follow her dream. This is her last chance if she doesn’t secure one this time, she will be going back hone to work in the family restaurant.
Shortly after the book begins, we meet Lance Braxton, Wall Street hot shot. When we meet him, he is sitting in on the auditions for his family scholarship. Normally he isn’t the one to choose the recipient but is grandmother is in the hospital and has asked him to take her place.
These two are on very different paths in their lives but when Lance hears Celeste play her violin, he knew she was the one. Not what you think….get your mind back on the audition. All things in life happen for a reason and this book highlights to me what that really means. There is so much I want to say about what is ibn this book, however I’m afraid to give to much away.
It is hard to adequately describe the feelings this book brought out in me as I was reading. It took all of a day to get through the page because I was so eager to turn the pages. There are some definite parts that I didn’t see coming and Celeste surprised me at every turn. Most of the time when reading a story with a super dominant male he is over powering in the book. In this particular book that doesn’t seem to be the case even though Lance thinks he is big and bad. To be truthful I have never seen a man fall so fast and hard.
If you are a fan of Tara Sue Me’s books this is a must read on your list. I can’t stress enough how much I loved this book and can say without a doubt I can’t wait for the other 2 books.

••••••••
REVIEW: 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.

- Violinistkinja-
- trilogija Milioneri #1
Osvoji. Kontroliši. Komanduj. Oni su to radili. Oni to rade. Oni će to raditi. Oni su Kraljevi Wall Streeta, najbolji u onome što rade, i oni kojima će uskoro ovladati jedina stvar na koju nikad nisu računali: ljubav.
Odradi šta imaš do kraja i odmah, ili ne radi uopšte.
Za Lancea Braxtona, to je više od termina koji koristi u trgovanju, to je njegov moto. Uradi to. Uradi sada, i uradi do kraja, ili nemoj uopšte. Neki bi ga mogli videti kao nesmotrenog ili ludo odvažnog, ali Lancea nije briga. Za njega je to do sada funkcionisalo. Zašto menjati nešto što je dobro?
Celeste Walsh ponestaje opcija. Primljena je na Juilliard da svira violinu, ali ako ne dobije stipendiju, moraće da ih odbije. Ako odbije Juilliard, neće imati izbora nego da odustane od violine i da radi kao konobarica u porodičnom restoranu u Virginii.
Kao uslugu svojoj bolesnoj baki, Lance sedi na audiciji za stipendiju za Juilliard, nazvanu po njegovoj pokojnoj majci. Očekuje da tamo umire od dosade. Očekuje da to bude izgubljena subota koju je mogao provesti radeći. Ono što ne očekuje je Celeste Walsh.
Ona ima telo supermodela, izgled tvrdoglave princeze, i violinu svira sa strašću revnog ljubavnika. Onog časa kad je ugleda, Lance mora da je ima.
Sad ili nikad.
Uzmi je ili je ostavi.
On je kompletno unutra, i dođavola sa posledicama.
Čitala sam bolje knjige od TSM, imam osećaj da je ovu zbrzala. Kratka pričica u kojoj je sve ekspresno bum, tras, tres i gotovo 😂

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!

“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.

I found this pretty so-so. It was readable and something with very little angst, but it also wasn't as steamy as I was expecting based on the blurb.
Although the main characters were developed, there was a whole supporting cast that needed fleshing out, particularly the antagonist—I like my antagonists to have charisma, or at least a personality. I also struggled with the fact that this couple were barely with each other during these pages, with the insta-love coming completely out of nowhere and having no time to develop any chemistry or realistic romance.
Finally, turns out Lance is in his 40's. I felt he was written much younger, and his age only came up once or twice quite late in the novella as an 'issue' or potential drama—unnecessarily so, as it had no real pull to the actual storyline.
Overall, quite a pleasant read but with a few too many developmental issues for my liking.

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.

Charming, Sexy & Utterly Addictive! This was a seriously addicting read. I loved everything about this story, from the interesting, well developed characters and their interactions, their attraction, and sizzling chemistry and connection.
Lance and Celeste were fantastic. I loved their feistiness and sparing. That bit of animosity in the beginning that draws them together. I loved Celeste’s spunk and take no sh!t attitude when it came to Lance. I swooned hard for Lance’s commanding and sexy alpha ways, as well as his charming, caring ways.
This charming story has it all, emotion, heat, drama, and a romance that sizzles, full of sexy times. It will make you swoon! So what are you waiting for? You know you want to read it! Get it now!!!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed Nathaniel and Abby from TSM’s Submissive series. Lance and Celeste are not even close to that couple. I found Lance to be cold and unlikeable and Celeste somewhat immature. Their instant attraction and chemistry just didn’t ring true either. This couple just didn’t seem to work for me especially the ending where she ran away but he was willing to move to another country for her career after only a short time and few intimate encounters.
Overall, the story felt rushed and lacked depth. With the exception of addressing Lance as sir and a mention of using red to stop, BDSM really wasn’t part of the story either. This was a quick read because it was not the same juicy storytelling I’m used to from this author.

Great Love Story
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.

Slow start to a new series
Tara Sue Me’s FOK the first in her Wall Street Royals series was a bit of a disappointment. Lance and Celeste were interesting characters, we just don’t have enough time with them together in this insta attraction romance. This is a novella length story so I understand there are inherent restrictions I just don’t think the author used the time well in developing her story. While there is talk about the D/s relationship the book just didn’t deliver much in the way of the lifestyle, more talk than action.

FOK is book one in Tara Sue Me’s new Wall Street Royals series. I enjoyed Celeste’s determination to follow her dreams and her attitude. Sometimes her “innocent” gets on my nerves because she’s in her mid 20s not a new to the lifestyle. Lance was interesting and his dominating attitude was totally there from the start. I hated that we kind of just jump on in with little background and that it was rushed. There isn’t much character development and I just want more. It’s an intense fast paced steamy read and I look forward to reading the rest in the series.

Lance has to find a new recipient to his grandmother’s scholarship at Juilliard and he’s found it in Celeste. She is sweet and a very talented violinist but she needs this is her last chance to become a professional violinist or she has to return back home with her between her legs. The minute Lance sees and hears her play, he knows he has found the one. Lance is a dominant and expects everybody to bow to his will and demands. Can Celeste be the one he needs and can she submit to him? A marvellous, sensuous, story that will keep you wanting more. I honestly volunteered to review this book.

FOKAlways 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!

Tara Sue Me is one of my favorite romance, bdsm and steamy writers. She makes me swoon one minute and makes my heart ache in the next. I love this first in her new series. The relationship between Celeste and Lance builds quickly in this short read, but make no mistake it is detailed and described so that you really feel the emotions. If I compared this to her submissive series, I would say the bdsm is slightly less edgy so far. I look forward to a long steamy new series.

Wish there was more
I liked the relationship between Lance and Celeste. She comes right out and admits she is a sub which is somewhat different from most bdsm stories where the woman is inexperienced in the lifestyle. There really wasn’t much bdsm, more power exchange than whips and chains. They bonded pretty quickly and was one issue that got resolved. I wish there was a bit more angst, but over all a good story

Bleh! You can clearly tell that the male main character wanted a little girl he could control and punish in every way he could. He does not have the likeability of a Christian Grey, or a normal personality in any of his non-sexual situations or relationships. The heroin just let him say and do whatever he wanted, and never once stood up for herself. No wonder he liked her. This was a terrible read, and I would never recommend this book to anyone.

The book had potential, but it's far away from the submissive series.
Each chapter I waited for the d/s relationship, the hot sex, something... But after each promising sentence lance said there was a line about the borderline kinky sex and thats it.
It's a nice book, but so so light on the BDSM part.

Okay so I just finished reading Tara Sue Me's FOK: Wall Street Royals. I have to say I got lost in the book. Lance and Celeste pull you in. I wanted to slap the crap out of Alex when she did what she did.For a moment there I was biting my nails (not kidding). But overall love love loved the book. Only complain I have is that I didn't want it to end! I think I am going to have to read it again!

Another amazing story by Tara Sue Me! It’s always more fun when the romance and kink are well balanced, and FOK pulls it off wonderfully. The story felt real and I loved every minute of it! Lance and Celeste are an adorable couple and break the typical mold for their character types: shy, weak submissive and angry, powerful dom; they had so much more dimension! Can’t wait for the next one!

Lance and Celeste have an unconventional meeting and the chemistry is there from the start. This may have been viewed differently if she was younger, but at 25, she is well into adulthood. I love age gap romances as well as BDSM romance, both were done smoothly and well. FOK is a short, fun read that romance lovers will devour in one sitting.
