He’s known her since she was two… go, Clover does what she always has. She runs… straight to Madden, only this time, he’s all done playing big brother.
He’s loved her since she was twelve…
A dominant man, Madden Briggs knows a submissive when he sees one, and in Clover he sees everything he’s ever wanted, but she’s kept him strictly in the like-a-brother zone for more than twenty years. That all comes to an end the day she shows up at his door. She wants a job; he hires her. She needs money; he’ll let her earn it. She dreams about a car so she can leave this town forever; he’ll even teach her how to drive. But it’s the lost and scared submissive inside her that he aches to touch, and her willingness to obey becomes his addiction.
And in the end, she’s still going to leave… unless Her Montana Master can somehow change her mind.

Daddy is a master
I truly don’t know which of these two to direct the most sympathy towards. The author did such a great job of putting our focus on Clover, and her suffering, that I almost missed the buried pain Madden has been carrying alongside his unrequited love for Clover. This author did a fantastic job of bringing love and happiness out of almost deadly situation. I enjoyed this book all the way to the HEA and can’t wait to read what the author comes up with next.
He had a feeling for her for the long time, he was thinking about her as a little sister. When Clover is on the run from her abusive boyfriend,she walks to his place. Third degree burns all over her body . Madden knows she was abused,never loved.
While he is taking care of her feelings emerged, he knows that he love her. He is a Dom,she is Submissive
How is he going convince her to stay with him? He will respect and support her even he could be left with broken heart.
But how is he going to do if they don’t talk openly…

Talk about an unrequited love! Maren Smith gives us two characters with such relatable traits they will kept me enthralled and intrigued throughout the entire story. Clover had been left behind with her mom when her parents got divorced and her dad her brother Kyle left. Madden was Kyle’s best friend and had always looked after Clover even after all her running, bad decisions and even worse men. Each thinking the other only saw them as a sibling/friend until fate steps in. If this first book of the “Stateside Doms” is an example of what to expect going forward then all I can say is bring it on!!
A new series called Stateside Doms, a short quick story to read. This is Clover Harris and Madden Briggs these two will have so much to go through with the trouble her ex boyfriend tries to cause. I enjoyed reading this story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Maren Smith is a very talented writer. She engages you in her stories, and develops her characters well. This story is no exception. As the story began I thought the main female character, Clover, would turn out to be a spoiled little rich girl, and that Madden would be a poor cowboy rancher, barely making ends meet. Maren put my initial ideas behind very quickly. Clover is in fact a victim of circumstances, as well as a victim of her own pride. Madden is a strong, dominant man, as you might expect from this type of story, but he also has his weaknesses, and his self doubts. The story of Clover and Madden is one of misunderstanding and unrequited love as well as a lot of miscommunication, or lack of it, and making assumptions as I did thinking the main characters would be depicted differently than they truly are. There is dominance and submission in this story, some discipline, and some sensuality, but the latter is definitely not the focus of the story. It is a well told story with another surprise at the end, that I certainly never saw coming. It was intriguing from start to end.

This love story of Clover and Madden just pulled me in from the start. They have had feelings for each other for a long time but have never been able to admit it. She is submissive to his dominant side and it just blasts off from there. I enjoyed this romance from start to finish and would love to read more of their story.

Clover and Madden together creates some hot sexy scenes. I loved these two together. The story was interesting and definitely had strong characters. This was book one in the Stateside Dons Series, so there is more to come. Great read!

This is a great fairly short story. Clover and Madden have loved each other pretty much as long as they have known each other but neither one has ever acted on it believing the other had them firmly placed in the friend zone. Clover runs to Madden for help and he does what he always does, he helps her but this time he wants to find out exactly how Clover views him. They have wonderful chemistry and great dialogue as they work through their feelings and start transforming their relationship. This is a brilliant first book to a new series and I’m looking forward to reading more and meeting more dominant men and feisty females in the rest of the series.

Heartbreaking storyline for the main character Clover, she has felt abandonment all her life by the people who are supposed to love her. She has only felt real comfort and love from one person Madden her childhood friend. Clover will have to be brave to step out and commit to his rules in order to claim that loves she so desires and deserves.

This is a read with many emotions and surprises. The past plays a big part into this story, that being said, there is great character development and backstory. I like that Maddon and Clover’s backstory is unfolded throughout the story. There are a few mentions that could be triggering for some.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.
Clover and Madden are in love with each other but neither will say anything. That is until she leaves her abusive boyfriend and Madden winds up saving her emotionally and physically.

I enjoyed this book. Clover and Madden’s story was an entertaining combination of emotions, drama and steam. I liked Clover and Madden, but did have some issues with them. Madden truly seemed like a wonderful guy but I often when he was in Dom mode he was too cold. It not only seemed against his character but I felt it was jarring. Clover, I thought was also a very contradictory character and for me the contradiction just didn’t work. I did feel really bad for her though no one deserves a Jasper. I did love the chemistry and connection between this couple. I also felt that there was a sweetness and a beauty to their story. Their romance is a complicated blend of hidden feelings, long time friendship and forbidden desires. For me, it was a solid good read with OK characters.
Loved this story of Madden and Clover. At times it was emotional reading the things Clover’s Ex put her thru. Madden was soo sweet and understanding.This was a nice quick read.

Her Montana Master is the first book in the Stateside Doms series. Madden and Clover have known each other since they were children, have loved each other from afar, but now they’re all grown up and Clover needs help. When Madden realizes that more than just medical care is needed, he steps in to be the man and Dom that Clover needs, but will their arrangement end when she’s healthy enough to get out of town, or will she trust enough to want to stay with Madden?
Holy smokes, I feel like this book just about ripped out my heart but thankfully put it all back together again. My heart ached reading some of the scenes in this book, I definitely cried with some of the emotional pain that both characters experienced in their past, but dang, this book was so good! Clover has so much anger and pain inside of her that has just festered over the years. I felt awful for her sometimes, but loved her strength, her willingness to work, I loved watching the simple things bring her joy, and loved how Madden helped loosen that pain and rage. Madden was amazing in this book, selfless with his help, but still getting a lot out of their arrangement, such as a chance with the girl he’s always loved! Some of his punishments almost shocked me with the intensity, but they were exactly what Clover needed. I loved that they got to explore her submissive side together, in a safe way. I loved that he constantly checked on Clover to make sure she was okay mentally as well as physically, and I just about swooned over his protective nature! The ending was not what I was expecting, which made it that much better! I really loved this book! I’m so excited that this will be part of a series!
Best Friends to lovers and he’s a cowboy to boot……So this was a free ARC from the author and booksprout for my honest voluntary review of this story and I enjoyed it.

Reading this made me want to immediately one-click all the Maren Smith books I haven’t yet bought.
This was just – *swoon*, sigh – quite simply wonderful. The whole book revolves very much around Maddon and Clover, with just a handful of scenes involving other characters. This allows us to really form a connection with both main characters, believe in them and understand them. The emotion, wanting and heart ache both crushed me and filled me with a sense of longing of my own.
Clover is so vulnerable, so damaged by the men in her life and her constant poor choices, Maddon has his own issues but is the rock that anchors her world. The chemistry and bond the author portrayed between the pair held me spellbound from the first to last word. I may even have shed the odd tear, especially at the end. The only reason I didn’t read it in one go was that it got so late I fell asleep before I could finish it.
This was very much a book you never wanted to end, it was sweet, steamy, loving, happy, sad and troubled all in one well written package. Madden is such a caring, loving Dom, not perfect but perfect for Clover. Strict when he needs to be, recognising Clover’s needs and filling them. Whilst the BDSM content is fairly ‘light’ it was still extremely hot and fitted well with the story. I’m definitely looking forward to more books in this series.
What a wonderful sexy good feeling book. Madden and Clover have known each other all their lives, but just a friends. Things have now changed, but can they forget there past lovers. You will have to read and find out. Enjoy

Yet when Clover signs the contract, Madden pushes Clover to help herself. When Clover is threatened, will their suppressed love for each other come to light? You have to read to find out and will love how Madden brings out the submissive in Clover.
Creative friends to lovers steamy BDSM romance
Maren Smith’s books have always deliver a solid story with interesting characters that I’ve loved. Her Montana Master’s Clover and Madden are prime examples of realistic characters with chemistry which has been ignored for years, but explosive when finally recognized and acknowledged. It was interesting to watch their friendship evolve into so much more. The plot line was solid with s twist or two I didn’t expect.
