Kallypso Masters, three-time USA Today bestselling author of the Rescue Me Saga and author of ROAR, has been hailed by devoted readers as “a reader’s writer,” one who interacts with readers, does meticulous research, and gives readers what they want (although not always when they want it).

WESTERN DREAMS is a collection of five original, SHORT glimpses into the lives of two beloved couples from the Rescue Me Saga. This collection gives readers some quick peeks at Ryder and Megan (including two “secret” scenes mentioned in NOBODY’S DREAM that took place off the page, as well as two others that take place after the ending of that book). Readers also will catch a glimpse of how Luke and Cassie are settling in and progressing in their relationship at their new mountaintop haven.

We begin with Ryder and Megan Wilson’s honeymoon bike ride through Colorado. When Ryder’s PTSD kicks in, he takes a detour that leads to surprises—and some sexy fun. As their destiny on the ranch unfolds, watch them explore the BDSM lifestyle in ways that will delight.

In the final vignette in this collection, watch as Luke returns from three long days at the ranch to find Cassie immersed in her outdoor soaking tub as the snow flurries swirl around them. Readers will relish this glimpse into how Luke continues to condition Cassie, steering her in the direction of a future dynamic in the BDSM lifestyle—baby step by baby step.

EXTRA! EXTRA! This collection includes a long, sexy excerpt from Kallypso's ROAR featuring a new couple faced with an unthinkable choice. ROAR is a standalone novel that will eventually serve as a bridge to the romantic suspense trilogy with the long-awaited romances of Patrick Gallagher, Mistress V. Grant, Gunnar Larson—and their love interests.

An eighth-generation Kentuckian, Kally is excited to embark on the new Bluegrass Spirits series with stories set in some of her favorite places in her home state.

Kally is also the author of the USA Today Bestselling Rescue Me Saga series featuring emotional, realistic Erotic Romance novels with characters finding alternative methods for handling and healing from past traumas and PTSD. She also has published two Rescue Me Saga spinoff books—Western Dreams (Rescue Me Saga Extras #1) and Roar, a standalone with familiar secondary characters from the main series.

Couple of short stories with Ryder and Megan - timeline taking place during Nobody's Dream and after. Ryder has come along way with his PTSD but still has a way to go. He and Megan are exploring more BDSM options to their sex life and they decide to settled down on Luke and Cassie's ranch with a new business endeavor between Ryder and Luke

There is one short story with Luke and Cassie. They to have come along way and we get a glimpse of how Luke's patients and training with Cassie has helped greatly.

Savannah and Damian also make and appearance which briefly mentions the upcoming trial of her sadistic father which will be a future book.

These are glimpses into life with Ryder and Megan who have the main share of the stories with Cassie and Luke having only one. I was disappointed by that only because I enjoy them as a couple.

These glimpses allow the reader to see how Megan and Ryder have progressed and how they have taken to moving into Luke's house on the ranch. We see a bit of Gunner Larsen as he teaches Ryder how to use a whip and they run into Marc and Angelina there. Megan still has no idea that her brother Adam is a kink club owner and he has no idea she is into it either. It will be hilarious when they found out each other's secret. If they ever do.

Cassie is still spooked a bit by Luke's unannounced arrivals but she has come a long way. She allows Luke to do something very intimate to her where as I don't think she would have let him earlier on in their story. Theirs was a sweet tale of love and longing and a possible glimpse into their future.

I hope to hear more tales from these too couples and their plans for the ranch. It will heal a lot of people and continue to heal Cassie, Ryder, and to a lesser degree, Luke.

Saving each other

I loved how Like and Cassie slowly developed their fragile friendship and realized that together they can trust and heal each other of their past losses and traumas. Trust takes time when you have been deeply hurt and I'm glad they decided to out in the work needed for them to rescue or restore each other's battered souls.

Western Dreams (Rescue Me Sag

Continuous story of Luke and Cassie and Ryder and Megan. Ryder and Megan now Owen the ranch Luke once own and Luke and Cassie now own the mountain Cassie's used to rent. Great story to catch up with the lover on Rescue Me.

These were nice vignettes of two couples already met in the Rescue Me sagas. 4 of them are centred around Megan and Ryder, and as the author has said give some background on scenes mentioned in a previous book. Don’t expect loads of action – but there are some sexy scenes.

The last story gives us a little more information on Luke and Cassie and how they are getting on. Bit disappointed that there was not more of them in this novella.

I liked the book but was hoping for something more. Most of Ryder and Megan's storyline focused too much on sex. I didn't feel like I learned anything about this couple.
Most of the book focused on the above couple but only was longing for more Luke and Cassie. I loved their first book and was anxious to read more about them. They are one of my favorite couples. Right behind Adam and Karla

Amazing

She's done it again. What wonderful set of stories. Heed the warning at the beginning of the book and grab a glass of ice water or a partner. You will need some relief when you're finished.

It was amazing to read more about Ryder & Megan. I love how they are starting with the bullwhip. Gunnar is the perfect Dom to teach anyone to wield a whip. Luke & Cassie have come so far. It is hard to believe she has come that far. I can't wait to read more about all the couples in the future.

Loved it!!!!!!!

Kallypso has done it again with her characters. Love Megan and Ryders story and love seeing where their story goes.
Cassie and Lukes story shows the amount of trust that Cassies has given to Luke. Cant wait to see what Kallypso has in store for these two.
