Ultimate Romance

Boaz Mackenzie has a full life – full of family, full of work, and full of problems. When his grandmother does something crazy to he and his cousins, he decides his life is definitely not full of one thing – sex. The best way to work off the anger he feels is to find himself a little filly and ride her hard. Off he heads to Bottoms Up, the local bar owned and operated by his family.

Sommer St. Clair thinks the only thing exciting about herself is her porn star name. She has craved exciting things, but never found the man that can handle what she wants – dominance with equality. She wants a man that can handle being in charge in the bedroom without taking over every aspect of her life. Needing a break from her job as a divorce attorney and from her non-existent love life, she heads out to a dude ranch in Texas. While soaking up the hedonistic pleasures of being pampered, she is challenged to break out of her shell and go after what she wants – a hot night of sex.

Finally, Sommer heads out to the bar with a friend and swears to have sex with the next unattached man that walks through the door. Lucky for her, that is when Boaz walks in and he is sex in cowboy boots. The two hit it off immediately and are quickly headed for the door and a seriously hot one-night stand. One night becomes two and then three. Neither of them are looking forward to her leaving. In the meantime, Boaz is determined to make her his, forever. Unfortunately, Sommer is not looking for forever, just for right now. Bo has to convince her that their love is worth taking a chance.

RESTRAIN ME is a wild and sexy ride. Bo and Sommer are characters that have full lives, but struggle to find that certain something that will make them complete. The family drama ensures that we will be reading more about this crazy family. I am looking forward to their stories! As it is, this was a great read and one I recommend for all who enjoy a little cowboy in their sexy romance.

This story does involve bondage and branding. It is tasteful and fits well into the storyline.
