With credit card debt piling up and her marriage seemingly in trouble, Emma Lanyon makes an impulsive decision and flies to Cloudcroft Ranch unannounced to visit her sister. Upon her arrival, however, she is scolded about running away from her problems, and once her husband joins her at the ranch he quickly leaves Emma in no doubt that things are going to change. From now on, when she needs to be … be taken in hand her bottom will be bared and very soundly spanked.
Over the coming days, Emma is taught to surrender her body to her husband’s demands. His stern dominance arouses her intensely, and when he decides to share her with another man she is brought to heights of pleasure she never imagined. But obedience is expected, and she soon learns the hard way that putting her safety at risk will earn her a truly shameful punishment.
Emma’s desire for both men grows stronger with every new experience and every blushing climax, but will their shared bond endure even when the time comes to leave Cloudcroft?

I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.
Instead of talking to her husband about what’s bothering her, Emma runs off without telling anyone where she’s going, and shows up unexpectedly at the home of her sister and brother-in-law – who, it turns out, currently have a playroom full of kinky guests. When her understandably upset husband shows up in search of her, everyone agrees that Emma has a problem with impulse control and needs a firm hand – or several – where it will do the most good. Okay, this is not the way anyone should try to handle emotional problems in real life, but this is a kinky fantasy. A hot story with a HEA ending.
If you are into the BDSM world at all or like reading stories with this aspect, this story as well as the other stories about the Cloudecroft ranch are very likely quite up your alley. It was fun to read and even though I am not really into the BDSM then I still can enjoy stories that evolve a bit around that aspect if done in a good way. This author certainly manages to write about all of this in such a way that it makes it fun to read about. The storyline is quite excellent and the characters whom we have gotten to know in previous stories as well are quite well written out and fun to read about them and their actions. Overall a very good story and one well deserving of the fabulous four stars I am giving it here.

All the fun times and heat you can ask for. Cloudcroft Ranch is really something. The characters are fantastic and their backstories round them out nicely. The locale is terrific and the action around the place was perfect. The fun and banter keeps the pages turning and a smile on your face. The hot times kept getting better and the emotions were intense. Will be rereading this one again and again.

Emma was overwhelmed by life including her marriage. Javier just didn’t get it. She runs to her sister and into the gates of Cloudcroft. The cast of characters is large, and growing, but with just mention here and there, the story does revolve around the center couple. Emma interrupts her sister, hitting Linc’s switch. With a glimpse of what life could be, Emma decides to give it a trial. She’s in for more than she knows as Javier shows his hand with domestic discipline and learns so much more. I won’t miss any of these. I enjoy the interaction, the way the author keeps every character or couple separate and distinct without blurring their personalities. These are a can’t miss for BDSM readers.

Emma had an argument with Javier over all the money she had spent. He had no idea how in debt they were until he accidentally saw the credit card bill. Afterwards Emma was so upset that the only solution to their problems she could see was to leave Javier. Due to weather conditions the only place she think of to go was Cloudcroft Ranch to stay with her sister, Lilly. When she got there they were in the middle of a BDSM play weekend. Her soon to be brother-in-law, Linc called Javier to let him know where Emma was, so he could come to get her. Also, Linc helped them mediate their problems. They agreed to try BDSM for the communication skills required to save their marriage.
This story added three more people to the wonderful Cloudcroft Family. The theme seemed to be communication within your marriage to remain happy. You have to learn to listen, trust, feel safe, secure, loved, and not judged in a relationship. That person needs to be your best friend. You will see all of these things as Javier and Emma try to rediscover their happiness in this beautiful story.

What a great place for a story. We have Emma who is running away from her husband and debt to see her sister. Javier the husband comes to the ranch to reconnect with his wife and insists on domestic discipline. They add a third and Emma is falling in love with both men. This book was absolutley fantastic. Great writting, and good story. I hope there is more to this series.

I very much enjoyed this one.
Emma who is in emotional meltdown, flees her loving husband Javier because she just KNOWS he’ll be through with her when he realizes the depth of debt she’s created for them. And having nowhere else to go, she flees to her sister’s home at Cloudcroft Ranch unannounced.
And immediately has her eyes opened & her senses shocked by what she finds there.
But once she calms down enough to explain to Linc & her sister Lily WHY she’s there, Linc takes matters into his own hands & has Emma give Javier the courtesy to address their issues face-to-face.
And Javier who seriously loves his wife, is not happy at her mysterious & unexplained flight. After talking with Linc, it’s decided Javier & Emma will ‘reconnect’ Cloudcroft style. And a wonderfully sexy but brooding Dylan is invited to join them as they work to save thier marriage.
A deliciously & erotic journey of a couple rediscovering the depth of their love for each other & the new addition to their dynamic. The emotional path taken by Javier & Emma to remember their love via this new dynamic is a treat but IMO the true joy of this entry in the Cloudcroft Ranch series is Dylan’s journey to overcoming his past, his demons & his certainty no one will ever ‘truly’ want or love him as he is.
Excellent writing, complex characters & an intriguing plot made this one beautifully heartwarming, sweet as well as sizzling & kept me reading it straight through.
I personally found this one to be a true joy to read.
I loved the story. Emma’s character grows throughout the story and becomes stronger even though she tends to suffer bouts of self doubt and depression. Javi, her husband, is caring and yet firm with her when needed. The BDSM lifestyle give Emma the chance to let someone else be in control and make decisions which allows her to gain more confidence in her self worth. It is a great story with more aspects of this new lifestyle that they indulge in. There is a lot more going on in this book which adds to initial story. This is a great read and I would highly recommend it.

Emma and Javi may be novices in the BDSM world but they soon become immersed after arriving at Cloudcroft. Emma is Lillian’s sister who is the girlfriend of Lincoln, owner of Cloudcroft. When Emma runs up debts and doesn’t know how to fix it she runs to her sister but Lincoln calls her husband. When Javi expresses his interest in BDSM Emma is wiling to explore and Dylan, Olivia’s brother, becomes involved. If you have read the Cloudcroft series you will meet al the previous characters. There are some interesting insights into marriage as Emma and Javi are the first married couple to come to Cloudcroft but there is no less eroticism because they are married and Dylan adds a very different perspective. The ending was delightful and brought all the couples/threesomes together for a weekend at Cloudcroft and also provided peace for Dylan and Olivia.
