Razor blades left by a murderer continue to remind Sam and Thomas of James, the man they lost to violence… whose killer is still out there and seems to be watching them constantly, biding his time.Meanwhile, their carefully built relationship also teeters on the edge of a knife. Sam’s efforts to be the kind of full-time sub he thinks Thomas wants fail miserably, and Thomas must accept the fact … the fact that Sam is unique and his lover’s needs don’t lend themselves to the typical high protocol BDSM lifestyle. They contend with jealousy, confusion, arguments and stress, and when communication starts to break down, they struggle to reconcile their massive differences and learn what it means to be a them.
An emotional misunderstanding might be the last straw–or the opportunity the killer has been waiting for to take Sam out of Thomas’s life once and for all.
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. Readers should begin the series with book one, First Rodeo.

As the journey continues for Sam and Thomas you find yourself hoping they can find a way to make their relationship work knowing that in the back ground James’s murderer is still stalking these two. As the D/s relationship develops between Thomas and Sam you find that as always communication is necessary for things to go smoothly but maybe even more is the love that you find along the way, hopefully with all the roadblocks these two keep finding in their way they can find their way to each other.
Okay, just finished Razor’s Edge….I don’t think I can wait until March! Okay here’s the summary. HATE: Scotty. LOVE: Sam and Thomas. Want Bowie and Angel together. Sam is a beautiful complicated man. I love him and ache for him. I can’t wait for him and Thomas to find their groove. Fantastic story!!! I Think this will be my review.
Thomas and Sam are settling into their life and lifestyle together, learning about it and each other. The threat from the first story is still there, but it’s very much in the background here in the second part. I like how much they take care of each other, how they show their feelings for each other. Really the only thing I didn’t like this story was the cliffhanger. Yes, cliffhanger! So now I get to wait, but hopefully not for too long.
Book one, First Rodeo, sucked me into this story of finding a healing love in the midst of a stalking/murder mystery. This second book has my panting for more.
Sam and Thomas are so special. They make me laugh, they make me cry, and they have found their way into my heart. Thomas is just begging for Sam to communicate his needs, and poor Sam is just all locked up inside. It’s both painful and lovely to see them still dealing with their grief over James, even as they fall deeper in love. Their form of dominance and submission doesn’t follow anyone else’s rules, and I love seeing Thomas learn how to let go of his rigidity to try to be the dom that Sam needs.
Bowie turns up here and shows that he really is a good big brother, which I wasn’t sure about in book one. And the best friend of all time is still Angel. I love that man!
James’ killer is back as well, taking any chance he can to hurt or frighten Sam. I am torn between wanting him arrested and wanting the guys to handle things personally. There is one time something happens, and no one goes to the security cameras to find out if they can see his face. I’m hoping that that is discussed in book three. Other than that, I have no issue at all with this amazing story. I am so ready for the next installment, and then any other offerings the authors provide as part of this world.
This installment is great, and I’m loving Sam and Thomas so much. I most definitely recommend this book, but only after reading First Rodeo. Fantastic series!
Wow! What a great continuation of Sam and Thomas’s story! I love these two together. And I love the other characters too. Sam has captured my heart. He’s been through so much in such a short time. I can’t wait for the next book!!
Razor’s Edge by authors Jodi Payne and B.A. Tortuga is the second book in the Cowboy and the Dom series. This story picks up where book one left off. This is very much a middle book and should be read in order. There is a cliff hanger type ending, but that is because this book focuses on the relationship between Sam and Thomas. It is very much needed to proceed with the story, so I am happy the authors did this. The love story is wrapped up at the end but the murder mystery part of it is not.
Sam and Thomas are both morning the loss of for Thomas a lover and sub and for Sam a brother. They are starting to build a life together.
Sam has some major issues to overcome. One he doesn’t share his feelings with Thomas. Thomas is the kind of Dom that needs a sub to talk to him. Sam has a hard time with trust and opening up to people.
Thomas is still mourning his sub and lover. He has so many feelings and needs to come to terms with what it means for him.
Top it all off there is still a killer out there waiting to strike again.
I really liked this story. There is a ton to it and really this is the perfect middle book. I cannot wait to see where this story goes next. I will be waiting to find out.
Five Shooting Stars
This is the first book in this series I have read. I really enjoyed seeing the dynamics of Sam and Thomas’s relationship.
The safety Sam feels when Thomas is in charge and the care that Thomas takes of Sam is wonderful. In turn, Sam takes amazing care of Thomas as well. There is a lot going on in this book . So many emotional scenes whether the men are at home relaxing and just “being”, or when they are at the club. Their love scenes are fantastic and when they do a scene to get what they both need , that too is amazing to see. So many emotions …fear, anger, frustration and love.
I am VERY untrusting and suspicious of one character in this book. Pretty sure he is the killer/ terrorizing character. Only time will tell if I am correct.
So to sum it up…this was a great story. A real blood pumping, heart racing, adrenalin spiking book..in all ways.
I received an ARC for my honest review.
