Months after James’s brutal murder, Sam gets an opportunity to help Thomas find closure. That means leaving New York City to travel to the O’Reilly’s Texas home, to meet Sam’s parents and get a taste of how and where the O’Reilly brothers grew up.Their vacation is also an opportunity for Thomas and Sam to move beyond the past, drop their remaining baggage, and finally solidify their tumultuous … tumultuous relationship.
But that may be easier said than done given that Thomas has a secret he’s been keeping from Sam, and Sam is sick and tired of everyone in his life knowing what’s going on but him. It’s the worst time for their trust to break down, because their final confrontation with James’s killer looms, and if they’re going to walk away, they’ll have to do it together.
Note to our readers: Each of the three books in The Cowboy and the Dom Series has a fully realized, romantic ending. However, the overarching suspense element will leave readers on a cliffhanger after books one and two, to be fully resolved in book three (this book). Readers should begin the series with book one, First Rodeo.

Loved this fast reading, page turning well written conclusion to this love story wrapped in a mystery it was just so good. We’re slowly getting things worked out after my last beating, Thomas is learning who I am, but then so am I. With my brother death is still hanging over our heads and it’s time to put some ghosts to rest, so we travel to see my family, my old stomping grounds and take Thomas to see the place where James is buried and pay his respects. As we are moving forward together we are finding our way to each other, but will James’s murderer take everything that Thomas holds dear, possibly even me.
“No Ghosts” is a fitting title for the final volume in The Cowboy and the Dom trilogy. A ghost walks with both Sam and Thomas, though in different ways. While Sam is still being targeted by an unhinged person, that situation is really only a catalyst for what therapists would call “growth opportunities” between the two men. I love these men and how they learn to communicate with each other. There’s a lot more D/s in this book than there is full-on BDSM, but it works well. It’s not often I’m interested in more than one or two books centering around the same two characters unless they’re a mystery series, but this trilogy is, to me, solid and entertaining, as well as hot af. Highly recommend.
4.5 stars.. The story continues for Master Thomas and his sub, Sam in Thomas’s care after an attack .
Both Thomas and Sam are still learning their limits with the bdsm scenes and more importantly communication. A good start to the book and they story progresses but trouble is not far away. Angel has some great advice for Sam that hits the nail on the head.
includes tender loving moments, communication fixes and new rules, travel, and more danger.
This has a dramatic ending to the book with the identity of razor-blade man. Nope.. not telling LOL
No Ghosts is the third book in The Cowboy and the Dom series by Jodi Payne and B.A. Tortuga. This book must be read in order. Not everything is resolved in this book, and I found I liked that. The relationship though is a HEA. There are other on-going things that are not resolved in this book though.
I found this story to be for me the most satisfying. Thomas and Sam are still working on who they are together. They are growing in a lot of good ways. They still have a ton to work out. But I felt they were finally solid as a couple. That they literally had no more ghosts holding them back.
I loved the emotional connection in this book. These two men I adore and want to read more about them in the future. When you want a well done but on-going love story, I highly recommend picking this one up.
Five Shooting Stars
Sam and Thomas have gone through so much, both separately and together, since James was murdered. The killer has been terrorizing them, but they have still managed to move forward in their relationship. In this final installment, they travel to Texas so that Thomas can meet Sam’s parents and the men can enjoy a wonderful vacation together.
Of course, these men are complicated, so things are not always easy for them. I love every minute of watching them work things out, with both their D/s dynamic and their communication issues. And, at last, the killer reveals himself. I am completely satisfied with the ending and completely in love with Thomas and Sam. I also appreciate the friends who support them, especially Angel. This three-book story arc is full of great moments. Though we are reminded that someone is out there who wants to hurt Sam., the mystery definitely takes a back seat to Thomas and Sam’s growth as a couple. That works well here. This is such a good love story, and I am happy to recommend it to others.
Thomas and his boy, Sam are on their way to healing in the conclusion to their story. The mystery of James’ murder still weighs on them, but they are still going strong. They learn a lot about each other and themselves, they explore their D/s relationship and their romantic relationship. I love how tender they were with each other, and how very passionate they are at the same time. This has truly been a great relationship to read. It’s grown and developed until finally the healing and love they were reaching for the whole time came their way. I’m going to miss Thomas and his cowboy, Sam.
I absolutely loved No Ghosts. This was an excellent conclusion to The Cowboy and His Dom trilogy. I really loved the dynamic between Sam and Thomas, they haven’t had an easy relationship, but I loved how they worked together. I was glad we got to visit Texas and Sam’s family. Sam’s aunt was a hoot and I loved how Thomas warmed up to Sam’s parents. I liked the mystery about James’ murder and the attacks on Sam was solved, that it wasn’t the most important aspect of the story which is good as I suck at mysteries. I really liked the bdsm elements in this story and how they worked to make being a dom and sub fit them instead of trying to fit the rules. Plus the sex and love story were great. I totally recommend this book and the series.
What an exceptional read. Wonderful story on Thomas and Sam. I fell in love with them and the secondary characters.
Recommend this to everyone who loves the genre.
Received an Arc for a review.
Loved No Ghost. This book was more about Sam and Thomas finding their way and a new normal for them as a couple. It was a sweet story. You could feel the need of one to take care of the other. I guessed right about the villain. I’m glad the story was more about the dynamics between Sam and Thomas than them and the bad guy. I can’t wait for Angel’s Story. Clint needs one too.
