US Marshal Bishop Jones has known heartache unlike someone his age should. After losing his only parent, he’s found himself completely and utterly alone with only his dog for company. Working long hours and being new to the area doesn’t give many opportunities for him to get out and meet someone. Veterinarian Xander Garrison has devoted his life to four-legged critters. Between his vet clinic and … clinic and the animal shelter he helps his mother run, he doesn’t have a lot of free time. But the lonely nights are getting longer and he wants more than just a warm body from the latest hookup. He wants a partner and lover he can count on.
There is an obvious attraction between the two men but the animosity Xander has toward Bishop is stronger than a rawhide bone. But when Bishop needs Xander’s help with a case, Xander sees a new side of the deputy and wonders if he was too quick to judge. Can their attraction disarm the locks around their hearts? After all, destiny and one tiny little furball have something else in mind.
Disarming My Destiny is the fifth book in the Sulfur Springs series. This is a Men of Crooked Bend spin-off, but it isn’t a requirement that you read that series to enjoy this one. Familiar faces will be seen, but this series takes you off of the ranch and into the lives of those in Sulfur Springs. While each book will focus on a different couple, you should read them in order. Each book contains sexually explicit material between two men and is intended for adults over 18.

Bishop and Xander are great characters and their story is amazing…. sweet, sexy and fun. I loe them together and I love Oreo! This addition to the Sulfer Springs series by Taylor Rylan is definitely a wonderful and recommended read.
Reading this book I was blown away! Having read about Xander pop in and a little bit of Bishop in previous stories, this book focusing on their relationship made me so happy! Three things that made me laugh and smile while reading this book: (1) OREO!!, (2) Ezra’s nickname for Bishop when he comes to pick up Oreo from doggy day care, and (3) when Xander and Bishop finally take a chance and lean on each other! I would highly recommend this book if you are a fan of the Sulfur Springs series to read this book and fall in love with Bishop and Xander!
I freakin loved this latest book in the Sulfur Springs series!!! We have met Bishop before and was given the impression that he was a love em and leave em type of guy. That was so far from the case. He spent every available minute spending time with his dad. Bishop has the softest heart and the most lovable nature all he wants is someone to love and love him back. Xander is a vet and a very good one. He is very passionate about his animals and isn’t afraid to let someone know if he thinks that they are a crappy pet owner….and that is exactly what he did to Bishop. They both get off on the wrong foot but when things come to light and Xander realizes that he was wrong about Bishop he knows that he needs to apologize. That leads to some drunk texting that are hilarious but Bishop now knows that the attraction he feels for the vet isn’t one sided. I loved their story so much and dare I say this is my favorite so far in the Sulfur Springs series!!! I can’t wait to read more from this talented author and I highly recommend this book to all…well done!!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the connection between Bishop and Xander, when they finally got their misunderstandings sorted out. Bishop had so much to deal with for the last 18 months which he kept from his partner Adrian, so Adrian just thought he wasn’t reliable and didn’t hide his feelings how he wasn’t happy being stuck with a rookie again. Xander thought that Bishop was a horrible pet owner since he always put his dog Oreo, which happened to be his dad’s dog but since his dad was suffering from Alzheimer’s he couldn’t take care of him, in Doggy Daycare but really he loved Oreo with all his heart since she’s all he has left of his dad. He was just extremely busy going back and forth to Texas to visit his dad and with work commitments and he really hated the thought of leaving her at home by herself all day. I really liked Ezra and Bishop’s interactions and they made me smile, when Bishop would pick up Oreo. I loved how Bishop finally opened up to Adrian and Cody about what had been happening with his dad and then getting Oreo. I also loved how much Xander secretly loved Oreo and that when Oreo got sick and Bishop brought her back to Doggy Daycare because he was busy with a case that Xander took her home with him for the weekend, and doted on her. It was so cute how Bishop carried her in his arms constantly lol she’s such a princess. I’m looking forward to reading Alex and Travis’s book. I’d definitely recommend this book, series and author
Disarming My Destiny is the fifth book in the Sulfur Springs series. I suggest reading the other books in the series for maximum enjoyment.
Like the fourth book in the series, Disarming My Destiny focuses on the love story of one of the U.S. Marshalls who were investigating a case within the Sulfur Springs area. The romance and characters were enjoyable, if conventional, but the actual mystery and law enforcement side was strange. It felt like the author did not have a good grasp of what U.S. Marshalls actually do and instead just wanted a cool federal law enforcement agency to throw into the story. It took a bit to suspend my disbelief on that end. When it came to the romance part of the book, that was well done and fun to read about.
Loving these books
Finally Bishop gets his story, and we find out about his back story. He’s not what we all thought, that’s all I’m saying.
Xander who’s rude, blunt and wrong has a lot of apologising to do.
Great book, great story, narration is always great. Recommend you all read this series.
I wanted it and Rylan made it happen we get Bishop’s story. And his starts off on a sad note. One that will have your heart breaking for him with each page. I just knew that there was more to his story when he was introduced in the previous book, and I was right. He isn’t what anyone would of thought he was. He’s far from the playboy that his friend/partner Adrian thought. It was after his secret side is too much for him to keep hidden from those that works with him, that he finally lets them in. Its during the struggling period that he Xander is brought into his life in a way. When it comes to Xander all he sees when he sees the hot as heck Marshal is bad pet owner. And for a veterinarian this is something that he doesn’t make room for. Its what he doesn’t know that makes these two have a misunderstanding that makes it so that there may not even be a chance for them. Then things happen that has Bishop come to Xander for help, and its during this time that lines start to becomes kind of blurred.
There was so much to this couples story that I wish that there was more to their book. And me saying this is in no way me saying that I didn’t enjoy what I did get to read. Because, this was definitely a story that I enjoyed to the fullest. Now I am excited to see what else Rylan has in store for the rest of the couples in this series.
Love this book
