Ethan's Naughty Submissive
Restaurateur Cecily and Silver Creek partner Ethan are taking things to the next level. After a year of dating, Master Ethan wants to collar – and marry – Cecily, and she couldn’t be more thrilled. The idea of leaving Las Vegas, where she’s lived her whole life, is a bit daunting, but she’s happy to be with the man she loves. When the Silver Creek partners decide to expand, in the form of opening a new, local lifestyle club, Cecily finds she doesn’t have to leave Las Vegas after all. She and Ethan start shopping for real estate in Vegas; a house for them and a commercial warehouse for the new club location. But strange things start happening. Someone starts vandalizing Cecily’s home, there’s a distressing incident of road rage, and she’s almost pushed into traffic on the strip in an obvious attempt to kill her. Since Ethan’s first wife was murdered, he realizes someone is trying to make it happen again, before they’re even married this time. Obviously, someone has a grudge against him. They got away with murder once and are trying again. But Ethan won’t have it. He’s determined to protect the woman he loves, and to find out who’s at the bottom of things… and why. This is book three in the Silver Creek Resort series, although it can be enjoyed as a standalone.

LUST AT FIRST SIGHT THAT TURNED INTO LOVE
Another great addition to the Silver Creek Resort series and each book will read well as a stand-alone. The book will be about resort partner and attorney, Ethan Pratt and Restaurateur Cecily Blackthorn. While they live several hours apart, they try to get together often to play, and now their relationship is becoming serious—enough that Ethan wants to collar and marry her.
“He’d never thought to love again, and the fact that this woman had taken hold of him like she had made him smile. You needed commitment to feel purpose, or at least he did. And he had found it. And he intended on keeping it and keeping her safe.”
The plot will have Ethan and Cecily in a D/s relationship, and things are fine until it becomes serious and he talks marriage, and then things start to happen. She will be threatened in a road rage event, and then her condo will be vandalized. It doesn’t take long for Ethan and others to realize that this is not a random act and that the police must be involved and also revisit the unsolved murder of Leah, Ethan’s late wife.
The story is steeped in mystery, suspense, danger, and plenty of angst and unanswered questions. With the unsolved death of Leah, it brings the past back to haunt Ethan. It will bring the case of Leah’s murder back open, and they must also look at people working for them at the resort. When Cecily is opening attacked in public, they now have a woman to focus on, and it will include involving outside sources. Will they be able to find out who is attacking Cecily and the causing damage at the resort? How will this affect Cecily and Ethan—and what about his business partners?
The story does have lots of explicit sex scenes, power exchange, spankings, single-tail whip, implements, oral and anal play, public play, exhibition, and voyeurism. Everything within the story is safe, sane, consensual, and has a happy ever after ending.
Many things are in the works, including expanding to Silver Creek II as a club in Las Vegas. I liked how they visited several of the local clubs, and even participated in events and demos at the clubs and discussed a possible new club with the other owners, who were all receptive to the idea. I can’t wait to see where the next story takes us.

A simply amazing continuation to this series….
Cecily has been submissive to Dominant Ethan for over a year and she loves him completely and has been hoping that he would collar her, however she is aware of his pas and the fact that this has affected his decision and the manner in which he runs his life.
Ethan has finally asked his long-term partner to become his wife and has also told her about his previous wife that was brutally murdered and until now the murder is still walking free after six years the police and the detectives have never been able to discover who the person was.
As Cecily and Ethan begin to consider their new life together in Silver Creek it is as though the whole terrible situation has begun to raise its head again and it has his submissive clearly in the crosshairs, Ethan is determined that nothing and no one will get close enough to do any harm to his girl.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to protect those you love most from someone you cannot even see coming, or even know the reason why?
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

Our hero and heroine are dom and sub and finally ready to take it to the next level. But someone doesn't want that and is willing to murder to keep it from happening.
This is book three in the series. I have not read the previous books and had no problems picking up on this one, so feel free to jump in at any time.
This is an interesting mix of mystery, suspense and BDSM all rolled into one. Our D/S couple is the focus of the story, there steamy activities and business plans front and center. The mystery revolves around someone trying to stop them from marrying. The plot is well developed with lots of twists and turns on the mystery side that will keep you guessing. And when we are not worried about that, we get plenty of steamy BDSM action to keep things spicy.
I found the story easy to read and the characters to be well rounded with their our issue and personalities. The story was very engaging and kept my attention to the end. I am looking forward to going back in reading the previous stories in this series.
Highly recommended.

"Ethan's Naughty Submissive" is the 3rd book in the author's "Silver Creek Ranch" series but it works just fine as a standalone.
This is definitely a BDSM romance novel with characters working and playing with the BDSM lifestyle, and full disclosure: I am on that spectrum but am more a DD/daddy dom/spanko person, so this read is definitively in my personal pleasure neighborhood, just a few houses over.
It's a well-written and engaging story, and while I'm own level of BDSM play is confined to struggling to get out of a fully-reclined recliner with a wedgie, I was still interested in Silver Creek Ranch-world characters (both major and minor) and their interactions with one another. For that reason alone I'd be willing to read other entries in the series, along with other works by this author.
There's also a nice element of suspense included here, too. Highly recommended.

This book is an excellent addition to one of my favorite series. Although it can stand on its own, I suggest reading the series in order. This is Ethan's story; he's the moody partner with a temper. Though the plot takes place in the present, while he's taking the next step in his romance with his sub, Cecily, we will learn about his past and whether it is connected to the dangers they are facing. The book is compelling, with a great mix of BDSM content, resort business and a mysterious threat. They are blended seamlessly and the story was a pleasure to read. I loved the dynamics between Ethan and his sassy sub. The familiar characters gave the book a feel of continuation from the previous stories. I can't wait for the next book.

This is a wonderfully written mystery story that has a lot of suspense in it. Both main characters are in the BDSM lifestyle and after being in a D/s relationship they have decided to make it permanent and get married. Things take a turn for the worse though and the fact that Ethan’s first wife’s murder was never solved only adds to the mystery and suspense in the story as they attempt to figure out who has a grudge against Ethan and anyone he marries. It’s an interesting plot that held my attention throughout, I like the characters and thought their dialogue was believable. Reading this book is an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.

When Cecily and her Silver Creek Dom Ethan take their relationship to the next level – collaring and engagement – things start happening to Cecily in an unpleasant echo of the death of Ethan’s wife. The suspense this creates keeps the reader from putting the book down for a break! Their relationship is also engaging; they’re two strongwilled characters and Cecily has a knack of incurring punishments. The club scenes are some of the hottest I’ve read, but it’s sad that betrayal has again come from trusted sources.

Book 3 in this series and this can easily be read as a standalone. The characters from the previous books make appearances, & some that I can easily see having their own stories in the future. I really enjoyed this read & even though I found it hard to warm to Cecily I did like the relationship between Ethan & her. I liked the spice of drama that's added to this story but was a little disappointed that the story ended as abruptly as it did. It feels like there are still unanswered questions. Overall though, I'm still enjoying this series & with the number of characters hope that there are more books to come.

Peril, passion and submission make for a satisfying adventure
Ethan is delicious, charming and masterful. Cecily is, as described, naughty; also funny and engaging as a character. They've been lovers for a year and things are getting serious - not just between them but, for them. The danger is intense, the perpetrator is surprising. The story moves quickly, revisiting characters from previous books, and meeting new, fabulous characters - that I hope we will see again. Well done and I recommend for those that like a little kink and adventure.

This is the third book in the series but can easily be read as a stand-alone. Cecily and Ethan are ready to move forward with their life together, Ethan is ready to collar and get married again after losing his first wife. They are working together to open a new lifestyle club for Silver Creek Partners but soon accidents start happening to Cecily. Someone is out to kill her before Ethan and her can marry, did the same happen to his first wife? Can they discover who is trying to hurt Cecily? Fast-paced with lots of drama and suspense. The chemistry is steamy and the story drew me in from beginning to end. I loved it!

A really interesting, fast moving story involving a Dom and submissive – Ethan and Cecily – who are in love and going to get married. They are involved in building a new BDSM club in Las Vegas while struggling with a mystery about someone who is trying to kill Cecily, and also killed Ethan’s former wife. The story is fast paced – the characters are strong and likable, and the supporting characters are also well drawn and an important part of the story. There is plenty of sex and some BDSM activities – but all fits well into the story.

Ethan’s Naughty Submissive is the third book of the Silver Creek Resort series which is a favorite series of mine. Each book can be enjoyed as a standalone read.
I am completely in love with Cecily and Ethan, their chemistry is sizzling and they are so great together. I was not able to put the book down, especially with all the mystery going on, which resulted in a night of reading instead of sleeping for me. If you are looking for a series with sizzling intimate moments, stern dominants and interesting stories, you have found it.

Cecily and Ethan decided to step up their relationship and Ethan wants to
collar her and marry her. They were going to live at the Silvercreek BDSM Resort
but after they start to put their life together. Cecily is being targeted at her
condo while she is at Silvercreek with Ethan. She is then a victim of road rage
and someone wants her dead but why. The person behind this is trying to
hurt Ethan by killing Cecily. The rest of the story is full of twists and turns.
A must read. A part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone novel.

Protecting Sly Fox
This was another excellent story that starts with a romantic relationship, a murder mystery and attacker, and house hunt and BDSM adventure... this was another story that kept the excitement and adventure going throughout the story. I prefer the mystery and the protective Dom story... I have realised one thing this author has a thing for cheesecake, cheeseburgers, and surf n turf they seem to appear in ever story. I am hoping to see a menagè in the future with Marcus... I really enjoyed this story.

I really enjoyed Ethan’s Naughty Submissive. I love how sassy Cee is and how Ethan lets her be who she is. I love his strong personality and how he is opening up after his wife was murdered. I love murder mysteries too. So, I love that a mystery is involved and all the previous book characters are helping solve this mystery. I hope we see more of this series.

I very much enjoyed this book, and always look forward to read more by this author. Well written as expected, naughty and nice with a suspenseful mystery. These two make a great D/s couple, with Cecily the brat, and Ethan the tamer. But can he protect her? I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Ethan and Cecily have been together for over a year. When Cecily's life is threatened, Ethan realizes he loves her and needs to make her his. Eventually they figure out that whoever is threatening Cecily is also the person who killed Ethan's first wife. There is a mystery to solve and, of course, scenes to be had. I enjoyed this story and I hope it isn't the last one in the series.

Ethan is a whip master, Cecily is a bratty sub. This book is part of the Silver Creek Ranch stories. The mystery surrounding Ethan's wife murder is solved. Ethan collared Cecily. Good mystery, I liked Cecily's brattiness, steamy.

A lovely addition to the Silver Creek Ranch series
This book sees the third partner of the Silver Creek Ranch establishing a committed relationship with his sub. It has great characters, a good story line, and wonderful kink. Hopefully Marcus will have the next book.
