After she takes a job at the Crooked Creek ranch, Melody Jackson quickly hits it off with handsome cowboy Luc Girard, and it isn’t long before she is begging shamefully for more as the ridiculously sexy rodeo champion gives her the ride of her life. But Luc is the kind of man who expects to be obeyed, and when Melody’s disregard for his instructions puts her in danger, she soon learns the hard … way that he will not hesitate to punish her bare bottom both inside and out.
Luc’s stern correction leaves Melody blushing crimson yet deeply aroused, and her need for him only increases as he claims her ever more thoroughly over the coming weeks. But when she is finally forced to reveal the secret she has been keeping from her employers, will Melody end up losing not only her job but also the man who has both mastered her body and tamed her heart?
Publisher’s Note: Tamed on the Ranch is a stand-alone sequel to Taming His Cowgirl. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Until next time… Happy Reading!
Melody left her successful business and home to get away from an abusive boyfriend. As she lands in Idaho to work on establishing and running a wedding venue on a ranch, she gets to know Luc well. Their relationship is a dominate/submissive that Melody has some getting used to. I enjoyed the interaction between both couples. This is a well written story with hot scenes.
This book pushed my limits! It was an amazing feeling, to just follow Dex’s lead, and get through it. DeX was perfectly alpha and really helped Mallory accept her feelings. Plenty of action to keep you on edge and steamy scenes to melt your kindle. A great start to a new series. I can’t wait to read more.
Tamed on the Ranch
By: Delta James
Narrated by: Jack Calihan
Series: Taming His Cowgirl, Book 2
Delta James does it again, this time making me fall for the French horse trainer! Melody is running away from an abusive relationship. She finds a home at Crooked Creek Ranch, immediately melding into the family of Ryder and Sierra. With this comes a handsome, strong horse trainer with a French accent! Luc Girard is suave, protective and dominant. Melody is attracted to him, but there is some hesitation. She is hiding a secret, but will he be able to get it out of her? I enjoyed this story. It has spice, and passion as well as some fun life as found on a ranch. Luc is tough character, knows what he wants and is not afraid to go after it. Melody was a little tougher for me to like. She has a past, and her secret was not as relationship dependent as I anticipated! A little bit of a let down, but the couple themselves are fun and frisky. I also love seeing Ryder and Sierra again, always fun to check in with old friends.
The best part of this story is the narration for me. Jack Calihan nails this one with a variety of voices. He has a deep, rich inflection in his voice that is alluring and keeps Luc’s character very possessive. He easily steps into women’s voices and gives us a consistency from book 1 with Ryder and Sierra, so it’s like coming home. Loved his performance.

A great addition to this group. I love these two and their strong wills that collide at times. The scenes are super hot! What a love story to be read!
This story is of a dominant alpha male and a woman running from an abusive boyfriend.
When Melody came to the ranch to work as party/wedding venue planner for the ranch, Luc was immediately enraptured by this beautiful young woman. He could tell she was hiding secrets from him! What were her secrets? Will she tel! him voluntarily or will Luc have to use a little physical persuasion? Luc expects to be the dominant in this relationship with no exceptions. Melody is headstrong , hard to train, she gets her fair share of Luc discipline in more ways than one. When she knows that she screwed up, she is prepared for what punishment he has in store for her.He says he does it out of love.
Delta James story is of a dominant man who believes hes the one person to make ALL the decisions in any relationship. And a woman who tries to defy him. get punished.I like reading BDSM . but most of this was spankings, harsh punishments!.only part I thought was funny was naming Mr. Bumpy.
Jack Calihan narration is excellent in this story. Giving each character their own voice and personality. I was given a free audiobook and offered my honest review.

Tamed on the Ranch
By: Delta James
Narrated by: Jack Calihan
Series: Taming His Cowgirl, Book 2
I enjoyed this book from start to end. Delta James has a wonderful writing style, she captivates her readers with interesting storylines and characters who are nice developed. This is a sequel to “Taming His Cowgirl” which I loved and while you do not need to read or listen to that one to enjoy “Tamed on the Ranch” I highly recommend that you do, it is Ryder and Sierra’s story and an introduction to life on the ranch. Their plans to expand takes off in this book. Ryder has history with Luc, worked with him before and brought him on to the ranch to help run it. Melody Jackson was in a bad relationship and saw an opportunity for a job on the Crooked Creek ranch, working with Sierra as they expand on the business to hold events such as weddings. Melody hits it off with Sierra and she is happy to take the job. She mets Luc and the two find they have great chemistry together. Luc is an alpha male and he shows her how she should be loved and how D/s and discipline really works. Her ex treated her so badly so she was hesitant at first, but he knew what she needed. I liked how everything played out, there was drama, angst, some hot kink and a build-up to a great romance. Thank you Delta James for another great story.
I listened to the Audible edition, narrated by the talented Jack Calihan. He is a versatile voice performer who brings these characters to life, gives each their own distinct voice and personality. I loved how he portrayed these characters, how he made Luc, made sound like the alpha Dom that he was, loved the accent he gave him too. He does a great job with the female voices too, his Melody sounded sweet. Jack Calihan is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. You can hear how much heart he puts into his work. Thank you for another great listen
Needs a good editor. Lack of transition between paragraphs became almost jarring at points. Couldn’t keep her pronouns straight either. Probably relying on computer grammar and spelling check. Needs human touch to allow judgment into the process.
It was a good book and I would read it again.
Great read
Our heroine takes a job at a ranch to get out an abusive relationship. In the process she discovers a new lover.
This is an erotic story set on a working ranch and featuring lots of discipline (spankings) and steamy scenes. The story is well written and includes some solid and well developed characters. But it is also missing something. Our hero is rather overbearing. I get (and generally like reading about) the entire D/S dynamic, but when the heroine is no longer allowed to think for herself or take any action without permission, it is crossing a line into a different genre. And I found this story skirting that edge far too much for my liking.
There also is no real resolution with the ex, which is rather disappointing.
So while the story itself was good, and I did enjoy the steaming scenes, the overall thing left me less than satisfied.

I really enjoyed this one. The characters are well written and engaging, the story line moved at a wonderful pace, and it was full of steamy scenes. Everything about it was enjoyable, so much so that I wish it had been longer. I could have spent more time with Luc and Melody, and their spicy chemistry.
A really good cowboy romance!
Yikes! This is one hot and spicy romance between Luc and Melody. The passion and heat between these two are sizzling as is the struggle between them because of Luc’s dominant personality. I couldn’t believe how fast I got pulled into this romance and couldn’t put it down until I finished it.
This book does deal with BDSM lifestyle and spanking, so if that’s not your cup of tea then this might not be the book for you.

~Getting to know his little “Souris”~
Review Rating: 3 out of 5 stars – Melody runs from her abusive ex and carves out a new life for herself away from Chicago on a couple of merged heritage ranches. With her two bosses as role models for what she would like for herself, she finds herself falling for Luc, also an integral part of the ranch’s workings.
This is a good story, and I see a lot of parallels drawn between Queenie the lead mare for the newest additions to their breeding program and Melody.
Secrets…
Melody’s need for change leads her to Crooked Creek Ranch and Luc. The chemistry between these two is sizzling hot. With a penchant for finding trouble, Melody continually finds herself on the receiving end of Luc’s discipline which she loves. Is their relationship destined to be or will Melody’s secrets rip them apart? Read to find the answer…you won’t be disappointed. Warning: this story is most definitely for mature readers only!!

A really exciting, hot, emotional story with punishments and love. She goes to work at a ranch and hits it off with an alpha cowboy. They have a hot night but she decides she doesn’t have to listen to him. Well since they had a hot night and really like each other he decides to give her some discipline. Really good and really hot. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.
This second book in the series is even hotter than the first! Luc agrees to head up the stock breeding program for Ryder while Sierra hires Melody to head up the wedding/dude ranch program. The two have insane chemistry and it doesn’t take long for them to get together. Melody soon learns what it means for Luc to be the head of household – over his knee! Highly recommend both books.

Luc is definite book boyfriend material!!! If only I knew where I could get one like him for myself 😉
Delta James weaved such a steamy lovely story with great characters and a captivating plot.
The more I read, the more I had to tell myself to slow down, take a breath, enjoy the moment and make it last for as long as possible. This is one of those stories you actually want to last a lifetime.
