After Bella Mikelson wrecks her car while driving drunk, the spoiled twenty-two-year-old faces a difficult choice. If she wants to stay out of jail and keep her trust fund, she must accept a plea bargain which will require her to spend a year working on a Wyoming ranch under the strict supervision of Jackson Sullivan and his brother Lincoln, two tough, handsome cowboys who will not hesitate to … provide the stern discipline she has been missing.
Seeing no other way out of her predicament, Bella agrees to the terms, but it is only a matter of moments before her defiant attitude earns her a painful, humiliating spanking that leaves her cheeks blushing and her bare bottom burning.
As she grows accustomed to life on the ranch, however, Jackson’s firm-handed dominance sets her once-hidden passion on fire, and soon she is yearning for him to claim her properly. But is she just a project for him, or is he ready to be the master she has desperately needed for so long?
Publisher’s Note: Breaking in Bella is the first book of the Cloudcroft Ranch series. It is a stand-alone erotic romance novel which includes spankings, sexual scenes including a threesome, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

A wonderful mix of DD, BDSM and pure smexyness.
Sometimes I want a sexy, easy read, so I jumped into this, which was a free serialisation in via the Stormy Nights Publishing newsletter. I wasn’t expecting too much from it, so was pleasantly surprised with the quality of writing, the engaging story line and with just how much trouble Belle could get herself into.
Belle really was an unpleasant brat but as the story progressed we got to know the real her, and to see her grow up and mature. She was a very likeable character by the end and I was only too happy to see her get her HEA with Jack. The book is written third person but pretty much from Bella’s perspective – I would have liked to have had Jack’s too as I find this helps me connect with the character more. However it wasn’t a major issue for me.
The book actually had far fewer spanking scenes than I expected, particularly given her bratty and rude behaviour for a chunk of it. From a personal perspective that was fine, I actually enjoyed that this focused on the characters and their lives more. However I would have liked some variety in the spanking scenes we did have, particularly in Belle’s reaction to them.
Whilst perhaps not having the emotionally intensity of other similar books I’ve read, it is still a very enjoyable story. I’m happy to recommend this book to anyone who enjoys BDSM/spanking/Domestic Discipline stories.
“Breaking in Bella” is the first book in the Cloudcroft Ranch series. So much caring, so much love…Isabella Laase writes an intriguing and interesting story. Her characters develop growth and have a true BDSM experience, as it is meant to be. It is so much more than sex. Bella grew up with loving parents but she had issues due to the lack of family warmth, and lack of being close. After her father’s sudden death she spins out of control and has a horrific car crash. Her mother is constantly worried and finally turns to a family friend, Elijah for help. Bella finds herself on a ranch in Wyoming with three stern Doms who inform her that they will help her with her attitude. Oh, my! If, you think she’s not happy about this you are correct! She meets the people at the ranch and sparks fly between her and Jack. At the ranch, she learns about consequences when not following rules, she learns that hugs are comforting, she begins to realize how to be a friend and to accept friendship. Will she be able to understand and cope with her anger? Will Jack see her, as more than someone who needs to curtail their destructive behavior?
Isabella Laase tells a tale with lots of twists and turns, suspense, amazing sexy BDSM scenes and a beautiful romantic story! I’ve already purchased the next book in the series, “Saving Sophia.”
This was a sweet, lovely but sexy read. This story includes discipline and erotic spankings. This book follows the lives of women who need something different in their lives. It’s interesting to watch how the ranch changes and helps shape their lives. I enjoy these stories very much and highly recommend them to others interested in this special kink, the BDSM and domestic discipline fans This is part of a series and is book #3. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Loved the whole series!!!
Infantile young heroine who gets structure and love and finally grows up. Readable. The support characters were likable. Fluffy HEA.
Historia entretenida, con personajes interesantes aunque Bella me parecio que no encajaba en la historia, sobre todo con la relacion entre los 3 hombres y todos los empleados de la casa.
If you love erotica you will love this book!
