Professional bull rider Conner Raub hides a secret from the world. He’s a Dom. When he meets a submissive on tour who pulls at his Dom tendencies, he fights to deny his true self, believing his colleagues will condemn his lifestyle.
Jessica Talbot is new to the BDSM scene and the bull riding tour, but after seeing Conner come to the aid of a submissive being mistreated in a club, she sets out to have him for her own. After their first night together she asks him to train her to submit and he refuses, afraid to mix business with pleasure. But Jessica isn’t deterred. She’ll do whatever it takes to make him realize he can have it all—a career, true love, and the BDSM lifestyle he craves.

Conner is a Dom, a cowboy bull ridin’, sweet
talkin' sexy Dom. Yay!! I love cowboys!! Right away after starting Impact, Conner sees another Dom
mistreating his sub at the D/s club, Decadence.
Conner is right there, putting a stop to it. I really loved this scene, because it showed
a huge part of the man, his character.
One of my favorite quotes is “Character is what you do when no one is
looking”. Well, that applies here,
because at Decadence, the Doms where hoods, so character is what you do when no
one knows it’s you. And Conner, well,
Conner is a famous bull rider, and something happens in this confrontation that
could seriously compromise his anonymity and perhaps jeopardize his job. And someone does see him. Jessica. Jessica has visited the club several times,
and has always been drawn to Conner, but has never taken part. And now she sees who he is – and she knows him.
Whew!
This book is hot. I mean
seriously, it is situation after situation and it is just…hot. For an erotic romance,
this story will get you revved up and ready to go! Conner is a dominant person throughout his
entire life, from taking control of them bulls for 8 seconds at a time, to sticking
up and taking care of the one who has captured his attention. He isn’t afraid to step forward when he sees
something wrong. And if you are someone
he loves, you have a bull on your side.
As for Jessica, she is strong in her own right, but you definitely see
the sub streak in her, which makes her the perfect match for Conner.
“When you walked away from me
last night, I felt like a piece of me was gone.”
Conner and Jessica get to know each other a bit
on the tour, and I found myself glued to my kindle. Of course, Conner is a man, and he has a
million reasons not to move forward with what is obviously so right for
him. And Jessica is naturally
submissive, so she doesn’t rightly speak up and scream what she wants. The dance of getting to know you vs. I want
you right now vs. I can’t imagine myself without you is so interesting and
intriguing. The drama and tension that builds between them
is ridiculously hot. And Conner is Dom
and alpha and everything that is wonderful with a cowboy. He is what cowboy dreams are made of!
I read
this story in one sitting, unwilling to let it go. This story was fast paced
and full of action, in and out of the bedroom…and supply closet, and RV… and,
and… you get the picture. And on top of
that the author did a fantastic job of really setting the scene outside of the
erotic parts. I mean it ladies; this is
definitely not one to miss. These two
people are such a great pair; my only wish is that I could read a few hundred
pages more about them!
