I loved this one! Lorelei James got me hooked with this series I can't wait to read the next! But first, I'd like to give a rundown on why I enjoyed reading this in one sitting.

It's amazing how authors give a new perspective, there's Gemma, the widow whom we first read about in Long, Hard Ride, and how Channing nudged Cash Big Crow to just go for it, go for being together with Gemma. Things were subdued later on and we find them back together here, but wait, there's more! Cash's daughter (whom no one knew except he and Trevor) is here hanging out with dad, and Carter McKay (Colby's brother).

It's a double whammy.

I didn't read the reviews, just browsed to check the ratings and I found myself reading page after page of fun-filled days in the ranch, getting the job done, Carter's artistry, Macie's independence, and Gemma and Cash finally getting it on. After reading about older woman-younger man romances, I didn't mind their age gap at all, sometimes I forget about it, only Gemma is conscious of it.

I have to admit the sex here is better compared with the first one. Things are a bit kinkier, more creative and raunchy. There's a dream m/m/m, m/f/m, a little bdsm, anal, and other naughtier stuff some of us just dream about. Then there's the good story. After all I've said one would thing that's all there is to it. No, there's a lot of emotion involved here.

I liked that Cash and Macie are making their relationship work as father and daughter, I was touched by those scenes where they always try to connect and spend quality time together. Carter is a different story, and the author really wrote him as someone complex, misunderstood, and left out by the family. I hated what he did, but at least he redeemed himself. He could really be sweet and romantic, but never boring when it comes to sex. I've always appreciated how their wild sides were written explicitly, and there's always the slow build where senses are engaged - touch, smell, sight, taste, sound.

I guess I'm drawn to this because of the family ties, the warmth of the characters and of course the hot and naughty sex, but to give Ms James credit, she really weaved a good story with a convincing plot. I noticed that in all of the sex scenes, both the man and the woman have a chance to shine and get the upper hand, unlike in others the man is always pleasured and the author writes about the woman getting the same by just giving, and that's not my cup of tea.

I loved the happy endings and I'm looking forward to other books.
