Layla Walker never imagined living in Jackson Hole until she inherited her grandfather’s veterinary practice. But at least there’s a lifestyle club available where she can get her so-not-vanilla needs met. And yet, there isn’t a single cowboy at the club who makes her stop and take notice… until the night she gets called in for an emergency at Hunt Trail Rides and she runs into the owner. He’s … big and brawny, looking more like a throwback to a Scottish raider than a modern-day cowboy. And then there’s the little fact that he kisses her brainless in under five seconds. That had to be a world record, at least in her book.
Alex Hunt keeps women at a distance. It’s not that he doesn’t partake of the bountiful submissives at his lifestyle club – he does – but he doesn’t let them get close. Abandoned by his mother as a child, now in his mid-thirties, he’s resigned himself to living the bachelor life… until one sexy hot veterinarian waltzes into his barn and helps save his foaling mare. Now he’s had a taste of heaven in a kiss that should have never happened, and he can’t help but want more of her seductive embrace. And he will stop at nothing to draw her into his world – and his bed.
But there’s a thin line between love and lust, fear and trust. Will Layla be able to let go of her fear and trust Alex? Or will she run away and prove to him that women can’t be trusted to stay?
Publisher’s Note: This steamy romance contains elements of power exchange. While it’s the sixth book in the Cuffs & Spurs series, it can be read and enjoyed as a standalone

I really like almost everything I’ve read by Anya Summers, her men are hot, strong, alpha doms and her women are equally strong, smart, hot subs ( yes, I enjoyed your domme ). Alex and Layla’s story is no exception. Their relationship gets off poorly, but a the fireworks are there from the start. Alex is dealing with some serious family issues and Layla comes with her own baggage. Watching them work through that all and develop their own relationship was fun, well paced, sexy read.
So this is one of my favorite authors to read for and I got a free copy from booksprout for my voluntary honest review of this book and it’s a great story.I’ve read all the other book in this series and it’s just as good as the others.Has a great storyline and great lead characters to read about , plus were visiting Jackson hole again, plus favorite characters that live there to.So hope you all enjoy this one to.
3.5 stars
When Dr. Layla Walker meets her new patient’s owner, it’s a less than pleasant meeting, considering he mistook her for a tourist and told her to leave his ranch. Even when she informed him she was the new vet, he wasn’t all that welcoming, thinking she wasn’t up to the challenge of helping his mare birth her foal. Layla was used to chauvinistic attitudes, both in her profession, and the in the lifestyle she was entrenched in. But when Alex kisses her after the foal is born, it stays in both their minds. So much so that when days later Spencer tells Layla she needs to scene with a Dom or leave the club, and the Dom he chooses is Alex, it’s no hardship for either sub or Dom.
It seems a relationship may be developing between the two after the first time they scene together and find their attraction can’t be denied. But Layla has deep insecurities thanks to a horrific accident in her past, and Alex has his own set of insecurities brought upon by his mother’s abandonment. Will these two ever get on the same page? Can Alex help Layla get past her bone deep fear of getting back on a horse? Can Layla be the sub Alex needs and wants as his father’s dementia further erodes his mind?
I mostly enjoyed His Seductive Love but there was once again the author’s cheesy choice of words for certain parts of the male body, (I mean, come on, member is not an acceptable term for c***, EVER!) which has been a problem in every book of hers I’ve read. And honestly, even though their chemistry is hot and steamy, I’m not sure I believed their connection was that strong outside the physical. The ending was really rushed, too, making me further doubt the strength of their connection. So, not the best story by this author that I’ve read, but not the worst either, so 3.5 stars seems fair.
It is a good hot romance. They both have big past hurts that they have to overcome if they can. She is taking over her grandfathers vet business. She needs a new dom there and has been going to a club to find one. She goes out to help a horse birth a foal. The rancher there is one hot alpha male cowboy. One she hopes is a dom. He hopes he is a sub. They meet at this club and things go from there. But life gets in the way sometimes. I recommend keeping an open mind on this one. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
HOT even as a stand alone book!

To be honest I haven’t read the previous books in this series but despite that I really enjoyed this book. This definitely is a BDSM story with many scenes so if that bothers you, this isn’t for you. Of the two main characters and their struggles- veterinarian Layla, was the more mature in dealing with her past and also the current circumstances of a new practice and a new D/s relationship. Alex the horse ranch owner is struggling with trying to be strong while taking care of, and losing his dad and starting a new D/s relationship. Typical man he made a few mistakes in dealing with his fears but came through in the end. If you love strong women in real life but are able to be totally submissive in private without losing themselves, you will love this book. The previous secondary characters were interesting without knowing their stories. I think I will go back and find them. I recommend this book.

Will Layla open Alex’s heart to love?
This is my third book by Anya and I love an author who writes in dual point of view. Layla is a vet who is called to Alex’s stables to help his mare who was having trouble giving birth. To say the intensity between the two is palpable is an understatement but they each have their secrets. When Alex is paired with Layla at the club, things seem to get going pretty good between them. Will Alex and Layla be able to leave their pasts behind to have a future? You have to read to find out and won’t want to put the book down until you get to the end.
This is a emotionally charged and heavy book.
There is so emotions from the past and present that make themselves known.
Layla and Alex are both likable characters and the story around them is well written and executed.
Teddy-bear Dom…
“Cuffs and Spurs” is my favorite series by this author and this may be my favorite story in the series. Alex is definitely my most favorite Dom. Dealing with his dad’s medical issue has left Alex feeling like he’s no “in control”. When he switches his need to be “in control” to Layla, Alex may lose everything. I loved Layla. She was the perfect sub for Alex. While she had her own issues/fears to overcome, she was willing to try for Alex. Will Alex overstep and lose Layla? Like I said, this may be the best story in the series and Alex, the teddy-bear Dom, is wonderful.

I enjoyed this romance that offered a great balance of heat and emotion. Layla and Alex were both complex, likable characters. I liked that they both had baggage from their past that continued to weigh heavily on their present. I thought the chemistry between them was steamy and their scenes sizzled. This book does contain BDSM, so if that is not your thing, you should probably give this book a pass.
Another great book from Anya Summers. This 6th entry into the Cuffs and Spurs series does not disappoint. Anya writes very believable characters and situations. The female characters are strong independent women which makes for great conflict within a DBSM world. They do not fit your perceived image of a submissive. Her male characters are your typical “me man – I know everything” type of male that you would guess at a glance would be a Dom. The sex sceenes/power exchange scenes are well written and accurate to the lifestyle and the romance just sweeps you off your feet. I heartily recommend reading this series!!!

Alex and Layla have insecurity issues. hers stem from an accident and his from his mother leaving him at an early age. When Layla comes to his stalls on a vet call he is taken back because he could not believe this slip of a woman was the vet and when he took that kiss oh wow! Now she needs a Dom and she is the perfect sub but will their personal issues get in the way of what could be the perfect match between them?

Layla Walker is a Vet that took over her late grandfathers business. She meets Alex when she goes to help deliver a colt on his farm. There is a lot of chemistry between the two from the beginning. Characters kept me interested and reading. This is BDSM book with HEA.

Layla is the new vet in Jackson Hole, taking over her grandfather’s clinic. One night she is called to Alex’s place to help with a birth of a foal. Chemistry starts sizzling, but it only gets stronger, when he meets her again at the Spurs & Cuffs, a BDSM club.
Privately Alex struggles with his father’s fast escalating dementia and soon Layla becomes his light in the dark. Layla also has had her share of dark past and needs healing. Helping each other and finding the courage to admid and trust in the other is what this story is about.
A lovely read.

Love the Cuffs and Spurs series. This story revolves around Alex and Layla and the instant attraction they had for each other. Later Alex is requested to be Layla’s Dom for the night and from there their relationship evolves into a strong
D/s partnership. Layla is struggling with her past demons and the pain is one of the ways she can fill complete and whole. Their love affair is extremely well written, graphic in description and extremely erotic. There is a HEA but it is not easily obtained because of each of their struggles. This is a great book, a great series and I would highly recommend this book because it will not disappoint.
This is the latest addition to the “Cuffs and Spurs” series of books by Anya Summers. “Cuffs and Spurs” is a BDSM club where the lifestyle allows those of like mind to be open with their sexuality. If you don’t care to read books with this type of story, you may not want to buy this book. It wouldn’t be fair to the author.
This book is typical of this author: great writing, great story and great quality. I’ve read other series she’s written (“Pleasure Island” and “The Dungeon Fantasy Club”) and the “Cuffs and Spurs” series is as good. I highly recommend this author and this book.

Anya has done it again, she developed wonderful characters with flaws (we all have them) that have depth, that BDSM is a need for them that is natural. She shows us that normal is what ever makes us happy living are lives.
Layla suffered a horrible painful accident that changed her life at 20. She is a veterinarian taking over her grandfather’s practice on his death.
Alex his mother left never to be heard from again when he was 5. At 18 his dad suffered a closed head injury that he never fully recovered from and Alex had to become the head of the family in charge of everything.
This is their story of their journey to love. Find a comfortable spot, with drinks and snacks and enjoy.
