Ranch Daddy

Ranch Rules #4

by Shanna Handel

Colton is an old-fashioned cowboy, the kind who isn't afraid to take a woman in hand...Colton Jenkins is without question the sexiest man Josie Dixon has ever met, and as the assistant wedding manager at the CLAS ranch, she has the chance to fantasize about him every day. But Colton is an old-fashioned cowboy, the kind who isn't afraid to take a woman in hand, and Josie knows what dating him would mean. Not only would she find herself over his knee with her panties down for a spanking as often as he felt it necessary, she would be calling him daddy.Despite Colton's best efforts to remain professional around Josie, when he catches her snooping around on his computer he decides it is long past time for her to be taught a stern lesson, and soon the beautiful spitfire is kicking and crying as her cute little bottom is thoroughly punished.Though being bared and chastised is the most embarrassing moment of her life, when Colton tells Josie she's a naughty little girl and she knows it, all she can do is hope her arousal hasn't left too obvious of a wet spot on his jeans. But when he takes her in his arms and shows her what it would mean to belong to him, will she be ready for her ranch daddy to master her completely?Publisher's Ranch Daddy is a stand-alone novel which is the fourth entry in the Ranch Rules series. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Another spanking good read from Shanna, if you enjoy a good smoking hot Daddy romance then you cannot go wrong with this book I have read several of this author's previous books and really enjoyed them so could not wait to read Josie and Colton's story and it did not disappoint. I loved these two they were hot together.

I loved Colton and James' story,i was excited to see were their journey would take them.
It has the right amount of sweet and tender to melt your heart,with plenty of spankings
to heat things up.

Josie Dixon was one feisty spitfire who only had eyes for Colton Jenkins.The problem
was Colton only saw Josie as a little sister.Living and working on Clas Ranch,Josie had
dreamed about having a relationship where Colton would take her in hand.But it was
not meant to be as Colton rejects her time and time again,but his eyes showed her a
different story.With her special skills and her penchant for snooping Josie was caught
red handed in Colton's office and he was one unhappy cowboy.Could Colton ignore
his promise,Josie was a little girl who needed a daddy but could Josie submit to Colton.
Josie snooping finds her in trouble once again but this time it has far reaching effects.

This story includes danger mystery,a stalker,the FBI one sexy Alpha cowboy and a
feisty girl in need of taming.
Ms Handel has woven her magic once again.The plot was ever- changing with real
life situations.Another refreshingly entertaining story about the habitants of Clas
Ranch.

A welcome addition to this wonderful series….
This is another book within the CLAS ranch where the rules are strict and they are implemented religiously by anyone that is staying on the ranch, Clean Living And Sunshine is the key to a happy stay there and now that the ranch has become far more widely known as a place for holidays, weddings and general get togethers.
Josie is a woman that has been used to living by her own rules, doing exactly as she wants when she wants with very little regard of anyone else however, the bird has come home to roost and she has allowed her poor decisions to catch up with her and now Colton the youngest of the men on the ranch and someone she has loved for ages has decided to take her in hand, quite literally….
He’s quite the Daddy and he can get her back on the straight and narrow once he has her under their roof, and under his hand as and when needed….
I voluntarily received and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

This was a great story. I haven't read any of her books before but I can't wait to read the rest of this series as well as her other books. I didn't want the story to end.

Josie wants Colton but he claims that he sees her as a sister. She knows that can't be true. She also is unsure if she can handle his kink. When she does a little computer hacking on his laptop, she gets a little taste of his brand of punishment. Things happen on the ranch that make Colton rethink his decision. Will they get a chance at a happy ending?

The CLAS ranch has strict rules about no drinking, no smoking and no sassing otherwise one of the alpha daddies will show you the consequences. Josie is an independent spitfire prone to making poor decisions who has been in love with the youngest ranch daddy Colton. Colton loves her but has deep reservations about her ability to be what he needs. She hacks into a sensitive email accountants is taken into FBI custody for a year instead of doing jail time. Once back at the ranch, she and Colton commit to a relationship which occasionally leaves her with hot buns.

This is a great series. What’s not to love? It has caring, but stern Daddies keeping their sassy and sometimes naughty little ladies in line. In this particular story, little sister Josie is struggling with her crush on youngest brother Colton. I really enjoyed this book. I didn’t quite get Josie’s resistance, or rationale her resistance, really. But I really liked her and Colton. The book is jammed packed with story and twists and surprises. It does not end where you think it might. LOVED IT.

[Beverly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Engrossing entertaining read. This is a story within a story. I started reading and enjoying the characters and storyline and then it takes an interesting detour. So much sexual tension and chemistry between Colton and josie. They finally consummate the relationship and boom- story changes up! One year later can the couple pick up where they left off? Yes! They do pick up where they left off and take it all the way to a hot hea. This kept me reading and enjoying it to the very last word. I'd love to revisit the ranch and see how Agent Slack and Rosalie are doing.

[Debra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Superbly written – a Cowboy and his feisty female! Immediately this book will draw you in and immerse you into a world of excitement, drama, suspense, danger, and discipline. The story flows smoothly and moves along at a brisk pace and is an on the edge of your seat read. Likeable characters, the chemistry between them is off the charts. A MUST READ!

I’m in LOVE with this story

I just loved Colton and Josie’s story! I love all of the CLAS books and all of their daddy glory but this one takes the cake. Josie is an adorable spitfire who acts before she thinks and Colton is just the daddy to rein her in. Plus it doesn’t hurt that they’ve know each other most of their lives. 100% Daddy/Baby Girl goodness. 10/10 will read again!

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ranch Daddy is a stand alone book set within the CLAS Ranch. Josie and Colton have been circling each other for years, but every time Josie tries to make a move or share her emotions with Colton, he friend-zones her and rejects her. Unsure if she could handle his dominant ways, Colton is finally willing to take Josie anyway he can get her. But will a secret from her past tear them apart?

Wow! This book was amazing and I loved each of the twists and turns thrown out way! Josie and Colton have loved each other, but they really find out if love could ever be enough or if something more is needed to be together. Josie is a little wild in the beginning of the book, not always thinking about the consequences of her impulses, but I love that she follows her heart. Colton knows what he wants, but just has to figure out how to get it all. I loved that he was a dominant man, a caring Daddy, and provided the friendship, love, and support that Josie often needed. I loved them together, their dynamic and banter, their easy love, and I even enjoyed some of the tension between them, too. There’s a major plot twist that I was not expecting to play out the way it did, but ended up loving how everything works out. The ending is amazing, sweet, and so loving. I loved seeing relationships from the previous books, loved being back on CLAS Ranch, and overall just really adored this book!

CLAS Ranch Sizzles Again!

I absolutely adore this series and love the characters within it. The moment I finished the third book I couldn't help but ask "what about Colton?" and the author did not disappoint as this fourth book in the series is Colton's story. Now I am just left wondering if a certain, sassy Memaw will be next. :)

[Tami · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ranch Daddy is a wonderfully written spanking romance with some ageplay thrown in. Colton is a very caring, yet sometimes also stern man who knows exactly what Josie needs and gives it to her. I loved the characters and thus I enjoyed reading this book from beginning to the end.

I can't get enough CLAS and now finally, we get Josie and Colton!

Josie is the rebel with tattoos and the tough girl exterior. But she fantasizes about having a Daddy, can she actually handle one?

Colton is just a whole lot of yum! He us a mountain of a man I wouldn't mind climbing. He's always looked out for Josie but he's kept his distance cause he didn't think she wanted to be his babygirl.

Will they get their chance? Will Josie and her nosy ways keep them apart? I know what happens, I REALLY wanna tell you what happens....but you're gonna have to read it for yourself. It's beyond worth it. Read it or Daddy might give you a naughty girl spanking 😏

Colton Jenkins et Josie Dixon
plus jeune des frères et petite sœur de Louanne
Daddy et girl
CLAS Ranch, Clean Living And Sunshine

Louange (grande sœur de Josie, femme de Hayes)
Hayes (grand frère de Colton)
Brody (grand frère de Colton)

Intéressant mais chapitre long et pas assez captivant.

📖
Dès son arrivée au ranch CLAS pour son nouveau travail, Josie Dixon est attirée par Colton Jenkins, mais le beau cow-boy semble déterminé à la traiter comme une sœur.
Bien que Colton ne cesse de penser à Josie, elle ne semble pas prête pour une relation sérieuse. Mais lorsque le petit génie pirate son ordinateur pour lire ses e-mails, tout cela va-t-il changer ?
📚


🖋
Il était une fois, juste à l'extérieur de la petite ville de Little Peak, un ranch. Pas un ranch ordinaire, mais un ranch où les rêves devenaient réalité. Où les hommes étaient grands et forts, farouchement protecteurs envers ceux qu'ils aimaient. Un ranch où, de temps à autre, lorsque les astres s'alignaient, une petite fille chanceuse se retrouvait avec un papa cow-boy.

Peut-être que votre cœur battait un peu plus vite en lisant ces mots tentants et tabous, « papa cowboy » . Vous avez senti une émotion monter en vous en imaginant un homme grand et fort vous enlaçant de ses bras aimants, vous murmurant à l'oreille : « Papa est là, ma puce. »

Une grosse main ferme qui te donne une fessée au cul nu pendant que tu es allongée sur ses genoux recouverts de jean, une voix qui murmure ces doux mots, qui a été une vilaine fille ?

Le soin et l'amour.

Un daddy dominateur est un homme dévoué à vous, à votre bien-être, à votre bonheur. Je suis sûr que vous avez eu le souffle coupé, que votre main a flotté sur votre poitrine rouge, tandis que vous vous demandiez : un tel homme existe-t-il ?

Je suis ici pour vous dire qu’il le fait très certainement.

Quelque part au milieu de nulle part, dans le Wyoming, se trouve un ranch où vous trouverez un tel homme. Et c'est là que mon histoire a commencé.

Mon rythme cardiaque s'accélérait à chaque fois que je voyais ce panneau bleu et blanc, CLAS Ranch, Clean Living And Sunshine.

Vivre sainement signifiait ne pas jurer, ne pas boire et ne pas faire preuve d'impertinence, à moins que vous ne vouliez être tenu responsable de votre bouche insolente par des cow-boys très stricts.

Le CLAS était un lieu où le temps s'était arrêté. On prenait des repas maison ensemble, à une table où les téléphones portables n'étaient pas en vue, on discutait, on riait et on se remémorait nos journées tout en se passant une assiette de biscuits maison de Mamie. Bien chauds et fondants, ajoutez-y une noisette de beurre frais et un peu de confiture d'été d'Alice et vous sauriez que c'était le paradis.

L'ennui n'existait pas au ranch. Si on n'était pas plongé dans les corvées, on jouait. Travailler dur, s'amuser encore plus. Pas le temps de rester assis à jouer à Candy Crush sur son téléphone jusqu'à ce qu'on louche. Il y avait trop de choses à faire au grand air : monter à cheval dans les paysages époustouflants du Wyoming. Randonner le long de la rivière tumultueuse, le soleil réchauffant votre peau tandis que vous plongez sous la surface scintillante de l'eau, le sourire aux lèvres.

Tandis que les pneus de mon camion crissaient doucement sur le gravier, mon cœur se réchauffait devant la beauté des collines brunes et ondulantes, leurs crêtes parsemées ici et là de bâtiments parfaitement entretenus. Bovins et chevaux parcouraient librement les pâturages herbeux.

C'était parfait. C'était le paradis.

Mon paradis. Ma maison loin de chez moi.

A NAUGHTY GIRL WHO NEEDED A DADDY

While this story will read well as a stand-alone, it follows three previous stories, His Ranch, His Rules, Her Cowboy, Her Daddy, and Boss Daddy. Each story revolves around the CLAS (Clean Living and Sunshine) ranch owned by Brody Jenkins and run by him, and his family. Four Jenkins men in the family, and while Brody, Travis, Hayes, and Colton. The story will be about Louanna’s younger sister, Josie, and Colton. A match that some would like to avoid happening, but love and fate will win—eventually.

Josie isn’t demure like Louanna, nope, she is loud and covered in tattoos and even has a reputation for being a bit wild. She is a whiz on a computer and her talents are part of what has helped CLAS and their wedding business that Louanna is over. Josie and Colton have feelings for each other, but Brody has told Colton to stay away—but for how long will that last?

“You’ve been asking for a spanking just about every day. You have the body and mind of a grown woman but you’re a little girl, through and through. And a naughty one at that. I’m just a firm-handed cowboy who enjoys dishing out a good sound paddling. Just because you have the ability to do something, doesn’t mean you should.”

“I don’t care if you are good for me or if I am good for you. I don’t care if you don’t fit into my ideas of what I am looking for in a relationship. I don’t care if I distract you from your work. I don’t care about any of it. I want you. Just you. Just as you are. Besides, I love the chase. A naughty little girl like you’d do well to have a strict daddy watching out for her. That’s right. Daddy’s got your number, little girl. And he knows what baby girl likes.”

The past will catch up with Josie and it will cost her a year away from everyone that matters. But when things settle, what will she find back in Little Peak? Has Josie changed from the girl she once was? Just when she found happiness, it was all snatched away from her.

The story is a roller-coaster ride with the relationship between Colton and Josie and is told in two parts. I will say that it was completely unexpected and really added pizzazz to the story with the spin Ms. Shanna Handel put into this tale. The chemistry between Colton and Josie was a touch of love-hate at first but they each wanted the other and no one was going to stop them—or at least that is what they thought. Will they be able to pick up where they left off after their one night together? Have they both waited for the other?

“What Colton had offered me, before I left, was the ultimate commitment. A man so devoted to his woman that he was everything to her. A friend, a lover, and ever—a daddy.”

The story is a daddy dom—little girl with very mild age-play story, with spankings and explicit sex scenes. It is two people who want the same thing and what they are willing to do to make it work.

Ranch Daddy is the fourth book in Ranch Rules series by Shanna Handel. In this book readers are introduced to the romantic journey of Josie Dixon and Colton Jenkins. Both Josie and Colton were supporting characters in previous books in this series. Josie is the younger sister of Louanne Dixon Jenkins and Travis is the youngest Jenkins brothers. Josie is a rebellious little spite fire and a self-taught computer hacker. Travis is an old fashion alpha male like his brothers. Travis is a good-natured prankster. Josie and Travis are childhood friends. Both have feelings for each other, however, Brody, the patriarch, ordered Travis not to pursue Josie since Josie is their sister-in-law’s sister and an employee. Travis honors Brody’s request and strives to keep their relationship plutonic. However, when Travis catches Josie in the act of hacking into his computer, his protective streak is activated. Realizing the type of danger, she could get herself into if this behavior continues, he administers a form of domestic discipline. The intimacy of this action also awakens his possessive streak and soon after, they become intimate. Then mysteriously Josie disappears for a year. Upon her return, the future of their romance is uncertain. Will they get back together again? How will Travis act once he learns why she left? Is she safe or does her return put others in jeopardy? You must read this book to find out.

Again, Ms. Handel penned a remarkable character-driven plot. These two lead characters have a definite chemistry and a history between them. Handel's plot line is well thought out and allows readers to witness how they evolve. Her use of dialog and a dual point of view contribute to palpable tension in her character arc. The banter between Travis and Josie is amusing. Her descriptive language creates vivid scenes. She adds suspense to her plot by introducing the FBI and potential cartel revenge propel this plotline toward a thrilling climax. I enjoyed this captivating read. Nice job, Ms. Handel!

Shanna Handel's books always make me smile. Colton and Josie are the main characters and while Josie is in love with him, Colton doesn't think she has what he wants in a wife. Sure, he loves her but not like that.... or does he? Josie is feisty, stubborn and "muleheaded" about things and seems to be looking to get in trouble. She's always saying that no man is gonna spank her and make her behave but once she gets a spanking, her mind begins to see things differently. Of course, she gets herself in trouble and ends up being made to leave for a year by the FBI!!! Oh yeah, big trouble. LOL The story flows so well, that I couldn't stop turning the pages. Needed to know what was going to happen. When Josie finally gets to come back, will things be for the better or for the worse? Well, you'll just have to get the book and find out!!! Ms. Handel has become an auto buy for me. I just love her books!!

[Deb · Rating 5 out of 5]

Colton and Josie were the perfect story. I felt for Josie as she tried to fight for what she wanted while still maintaining her sense of self. Colton was a good character. I found it hard to understand his reasoning given what he knew about Josie and her feelings. That was heartbreaking. So it was with some dismay, I found myself not liking him as much as I've liked the other brothers when it came to the power exchange between them. I didn't feel that he had the right to reprimand her since I felt she was acting the way she did because of his reluctance. Then last part of the book...such a great way to write some added suspense into the story. That's when I fell in love with Colton. Great storytelling...the author pressed all of my buttons emotionally. Recommend.

So so so hot!

I loved this book it was so good. You could just tell when it went to one yr later Josie was A new woman! And don't get me started on the naughty scenes. Omg. They were so hot like melt your panties hot! The reason for 4 stars instead 5 is two reasons actually. Toward the beginning A lot of the book was like a recap of the previous books. And not just short recaps but very detailed. I scanned most of it. i feel like with out that recap we could have seen more of their love story. And my second reason is toward the ending their wedding was just so dragged out. Yes I liked knowing what the wedding looked like but i didn't need all those itty bitty details. That was another part I scanned through. Overall this book was so freaking hot and I loved it!

[Melanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Colton is owner of CLAS ranch with his three brothers. He is an old-fashioned cowboy through and through. He believes in good old-fashioned spankings and he is looking for his little girl. He has fallen for Josie but doesn't think his wants and needs are here so he becomes her best friend. When she hacks his computer he can't stay passive anymore and gives her to he spanking she earned. Finally he can't stop himself. He has to make her his. Before they can get to their HEA there are a few twists thrown their way. Not going to give spoilers. Just gonna say read this book!!!!

I must say that I really enjoyed this book. Oh certainly some parts could have been written with more intrigue and clarity, but the author throws a few curves in what is otherwise a typical Daddy Dom spanking romance. But Ms. Handel puts in some twists and turns that I certainly did not see coming. Also, she could have easily ended the novel sooner in the story than she did, and it would have seemed to be a perfect place to do so. But instead she treats us to more of Colton and Josie and it is in many ways the best part of the story. Their story does not disappoint.

[Toni L · Rating 4 out of 5]

The more I read from this author the more I like. This is the story of Colton & Josie, who have been included in the other CLAS ranch books but just like all of those, this can be enjoyed completely standalone. Josie hasn't made any secret of her feelings towards Colton over the years & while she is reasonably certain he has feelings for her, he seems adamant about not starting anything. Unfortunately, life gets in the way & interrupts things before they reach their eventual HEA. My only dislike (without any spoilers) is that there was some drama involving Josie's sister Louanne which kind of left me feeling like that line was unfinished.

[JigsawGirl · Rating 4 out of 5]

A continuation of life on the CLAS (Clean Living and Sunshine) Ranch. Colton and Josie's story begins with Josie being kind of flighty and undisciplined. Colton isn't sure she wants or can handle the type of relationship he wants.

Josie 's life takes a major turn that has an effect on everyone in her family and on the CLAS Ranch.

This book has a few twists and turns that were surprisingly unexpected. It is almost like reading two books. Before the incident and After.

Will Josie be able to curb her wild ways and live her HEA with Colton? No worries, the HEA is inevitable.

[Ashleigh · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am not sure that I even know where to begin writing a review for this because it is truly an awesome experience.

The author did such a great job developing the characters, that I feel like I really know them, and not just the major two characters, but the minor ones too.

I loved everything about it - the characters, the plot, the emotion, the writing, and the ability that the author had to tell me a story that had me wanting this book to go on and on.

Josie has been in love with Colton forever. He doesn't believe she's made to handle the kind of relationship he needs. When she's caught snooping, Colton knows Josie needs to be punished. Will Colton see that he and Josie were meant to be? This story is filled with twists and turns and characters that are almost too hot to handle (in the best way possible)

Loved it!!

I read all the Ranch Rules books, and this one is my favorite. All the ladies in all 4 books, are so cute and trying so hard to be good, this heroine really thinks rules are made to be broken. She is always in trouble, and when the FBI has to step in and stop her from getting into more trouble than she can handle, you can’t help but wonder...how is she getting out of this?

[Gaynor Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some surprises coming up!

Colton and Josie have known each other for quite a while and their "relationship" has been interesting to say the least.
Their dynamic together is hot, sexy, turbulant at times, spanky, loving and supportive. Some great twists and turns make this a really good read! Loved it!

[Margaret Corcoran · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. It's great. I enjoyed Josie when the story started. She underestamated herself and so needed her own stroy and life. I loved Colton's belief in her. This is a sweet story with great characters and wonderful love. I would love CLAS ranch, just not the horses, they scare me. I highly recommend this wonderful, entertaining and enjoyable story. I hope that Ted gets his own story.
