Kennedy, Stacey

Kennedy (The Trouble with an Heir) launches a steamy new Western romance series. While some dubious choices propel the plot, readers will be interested in seeing Charly find her happily-ever-after and look forward to her co-owners finding their own HEAs in future books.

Readers will enjoy this first trip to Devil’s Bluffs and look forward to returning, as Kennedy (See Me) has also set up intriguing characters for future installments and Kennedy’s clear writing makes this a fast read even as the book occasionally bogs down in details, but readers looking for more than a superficial rancher book will enjoy the peek behind the scenes of running a ranch.

Highly recommended for fans of sexy and sweet BDSM novels with refreshing depictions of consent, negotiation, and sizzling sex.

The connection between Mary and Elliott is intense, both emotionally and sexually. The mental power play involving control and trust is just as potent as the physical interaction; readers with a taste for light BDSM will not be disappointed. This fourth book in Kennedy's "Club Sin" series (Bared; Desired; Tamed) can easily be read as a stand-alone title.
