Tying Little Tay (Littles of Rawhide Ranch) by Ellie Rose

 

 

Blurb:

The only thing Tay loves more than ice cream, is the woman who makes it…

For years now, Tay Martin has kept their adoration for Chef Guilia hidden. After all, Guilia is their boss, and everyone knows workplace romances are messier than a room full of Littles getting into Chef Guilia’s homemade ice cream.

Which, ironically, is exactly the prank that finally forces Tay to come clean about their feelings for Guilia.

And for Guilia to admit she’s been waiting for just the right opportunity to take her rightful place as Tay’s Daddy.

With every commanding touch, every sweet kiss, every knot in Guilia’s ropes, Tay falls harder for their new Daddy. And it isn’t long before they come to realize that the only thing better than getting tied up… is being tied down. Forever.

 

My review:

This book was the first I’ve read about a non-binary person falling in love. Tay is more than non-binary they are also ADHD, RSD and little. Reading this was an eye-opening experience and I couldn’t help but fall for Tay and Guilia.

Montana Delta Rodeo Cowboy: Bodyguard Protector by Debra Parmley

 

 

Blurb:

In the heart of Big Sky Country, where the rugged beauty of Montana surrounds her, Emma Pearl Smith finds herself on the run from one of the most dangerous Mexican cartels operating in Montana. With a target on her back and nowhere to hide, she seeks refuge in the one place she never expected - with a rodeo cowboy who lives by his own code of honor.

Her boss is killed by the cartel, just as she is about to begin her vacation in Bozema, and her escort, Nathan Smalls, helps Emma go on the run, changing her name to Pearl Hayes.

On their way to Billings, Montana, cartel members catch up to them on the highway and begin shooting. Surprised by a DEA task force set up to stop semi shipments from the cartel, Emma and Nathan escape being killed. But with gunshot serious wounds, they are sent to the Billings Clinic.

Enter Destry Walsh, a battle-hardened Delta Force veteran whose life has revolved around keeping others safe. He's working as an RN when a young woman is brought in with a gunshot wound and sent into surgery, and the ICU, his floor. With a police guard on her door and knowing she'll need protection once she is released, he volunteers to hide her and protect her at his ranch.

When he takes on the job of Emma's bodyguard, he quickly discovers that protecting her is more than a duty - it's a fierce, unyielding passion that ignites in the face of danger. As they get to know each other, the line between shy protector and the shy secretary becomes blurred, igniting a connection neither of them can resist.

With the cartel closing in and a shadowy past that threatens to unravel their fragile sanctuary, time may be running out.

When he takes her to her first rodeo at the Buffalo Bill Cody Stampede in Cody, Wyoming, on the fourth of July, on their first date, she makes one fatal mistake.

In the dusty stands of the rodeo ring beneath the star-studded skies of Cody, Wyoming, love and danger collide, forcing them to fight for their future.

Montana Delta Rodeo Protector: Bodyguard Protector is a heart-racing romantic suspense that will leave you breathless and rooting for a couple forged in adversity, where loyalty and love are tested against the most formidable odds. Will they find the strength to survive, or will the past tear them apart forever?

 

My review:

This book has it all - danger, action, romance. Our heroine is a little naive at the start but she wises up fast. Our hero really is a hero. Former Delta Force, former rodeo rider and currently a RN he is swoony from the start and just gets better on every page. They say you show the real you when in danger and these two will steal your breath. A terrific romantic suspense.

Scythe (Devil Daddies MC #2) by Pepper North

 

 

Blurb:

If you want something moved, you’ll have to check with Scythe.

Scythe comes from old-fashioned country life. His word is his bond, and he challenges any wrong he encounters. Lying to Scythe is not a good idea. When he spots a heavily made-up woman wearing an obvious disguise, he knows something’s up. Why is she pretending to be someone she isn’t?

Winnie Bradley can’t believe she made it into Inferno after being turned away by the bouncer twice for being too churchy. So what if her clothes don’t flash all her body parts? Or any of them. Tonight’s borrowed outfit is too drafty to be comfortable. She just needs to broker a deal for her stepdad’s collection before her nerve evaporates. If only that hot biker wouldn't scowl at her!

 

My review:

A hot morally gray biker and an innocent second grade teacher. They couldn’t be more different nor more perfect for each other. I thoroughly enjoyed watching these two fall for each other. Winnie is so much stronger than she appears.

He Falls First (Colburn Brothers Book 1) by Jill Shalvis

 

 

Blurb:

No one is going to convince her to fall in love again...

Ryder Colburn has his hands full running the family business and caring for the ailing father who’s a virtual stranger from the cold, heavy-handed man he used to be. He’s got zero free time for hobbies or women. Or so he thinks until one walks into his life… and the path of an oncoming car.

Ryder doesn’t mind playing the hero for the skittish, scarred chef Penny. Maybe it’s the secrets in her eyes or the scar on her chin. Whatever the reason, he’s compelled to get closer.

Penny’s learned her lesson and now she’s paying the price. That’s why she’s sharing a dilapidated house in a tiny California town with her feisty grandmother and tween brother living off the leftovers from her catering job. It’s a far cry from her dream life. But who needs dreams… or love… or sex when there’s amateur plumbing projects to tackle and breakfast casseroles to bake?

One thing’s for sure, she’s never falling in love again. Not even with the sexy, snarky contractor who keeps testing the walls she’s built.

 

My review:

Another laugh out loud heartwarming tale that will leave you smiling. Two troubled souls find love and a new path for a happy future. This story features two quirky families with all the drama that entails. Ryder is a unicorn that will steal your heart.

Defended by the Bodyguard (Crooked Pass Security Book 2) by Caridad Piñeiro

 

Blurb:

He only intended to protect her

But wound up falling…hard!

After a series of scary social media threats, cyber tech expert Robbie Whitaker decided to lend his services to Selene Reilly. Soon, however, the intimidation toward the lovely musician turned physical, and reality set in. Though he wasn’t trained to be anyone’s bodyguard, in the short time he’d known Selene, Robbie was certain he’d do anything in his power to protect her. And while Selene seemed determined to keep some secrets, the unexpected guardian within Robbie was taking no chances. He’d be defending her day and night.

 

My review:

Selene Reilly has been through some serious storms and come out the other side shaky but still standing. She is starting to make a name for herself with her music and even has a deal in the works. So of course here comes the rain again in the form of a creepy stalker.

Robbie Whitaker is a tech god white hat hacker. He is smitten by Selene and will do whatever he can to keep her safe and make her feel safe enough to give him a chance.

I felt so bad for Selene. Her life has been one trauma after the next. She really needs someone to love and protect her and Robbie is volunteering for the job. That is if he can keep them both alive long enough to fall in love.

Love, danger and excitement. This tale has it all.

Alpha Unchained (Wolves of Wild Hollow Book 2) by Delta James

 

 

Blurb:

I left to protect her.

Now she’s mine—and in more danger than ever.

Five years ago, I walked away from everything. My pack. My birthright. And Elena—the only woman I’ve ever loved. I thought staying would destroy her. So I vanished into the shadows and bled for a cause that never gave a damn about me.

But when the cartel came for Wild Hollow, instinct took over. I claimed my mate. I marked her.
Then I disappeared all over again, believing it was the only way to keep her safe.

Now Elena’s pregnant. Newly turned. And caught in a power struggle that could tear this town apart. My pack wants the heir she’s carrying. My cousin wants my throne. And Elena? She doesn’t want anything to do with me.

Too bad. Because she’s mine.

And this time, I’m staying.
I’ll burn the Hollow to the ground before I let anyone take her from me again

 

My review:

The problem with alpha men /wolves is that they always think they’re right. In this case Luke thinks that leaving the woman he loves, claimed and knocked up was the best way to protect her. Idiot! He didn’t ask her input or explain that by mating her she would gain a wolf of her own or what to do when shifting or when or if he would return.

Elena is righteously pissed. No woman likes having her emotions played with.

Now Luke is back and expects Elena to just let him back into her life as if he didn’t leave her alone and pregnant. He has some major groveling to do. Not an alpha skill.

They say that this can be read standalone and it can but I highly recommend reading the first book Alpha Unbound to understand the backdrop against which these events are happening and the Kate/Hudson relationship.

This is a really enjoyable story filled with love, angst, intrigue and danger.

Danger and Dominance (Black Fox Security Doms #1) by Golden Angel

 

 

Blurb:

Never get involved with a client.

For years, that’s the code I’ve lived by. Keeping my work and private life separate, never muddying the waters.

Then again, I’ve never met a temptation like Cassidy Simone.

Beautiful, broken Cassidy. Staring up at me with those wide, haunted eyes. From the first moment I see her, all I can think is… Mine.

Every moment with her is agony, fighting the temptation to touch her, to taste her.

To claim her.

And when it becomes clear that the threat to Cassidy’s safety is closer than we realized, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

Even if it means breaking all of my own rules.

 

My review:

She is running from her abusive stalker ex. He is a security professional. They shouldn’t fall but what is meant to be will be.

It took me a bit to warm up to David one of the team leaders at Black Fox Security. It took me no time at all to fall for his grandmother. What a hoot. She had me rolling on the floor. I felt so bad for Cassidy and loved watching her find her footing and re-learn happiness.
