Alana on the run from her abusive boyfriend faints and Lawson is there to take charge. There are parts of this story that are just plain hot and others where you will laugh out loud. The interaction between Lawson and Alana is priceless. It was a cute story heavy on the heat with a great ending. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

I really liked this book. It’s about Alana and her escaping a bad situation and driving to Arizona. There at the gas station in Snake Eye, Arizona she passes out. Lawson happens to be a the same gas station and sees Alana passout. He is freaking out because he notices she is pregnant. She takes her to his ranch Lemon Tree and gives her food and water to rehydrate her. There is so much chemistry between them and they do everything to avoid the chemistry but they end up in bed together. Alana is just finally happy she’s away from Jimbo and with Lawson. It’s a really fast love story and I’ll let you read the story yourselves and find out what happens.
The first book in the Arizona Heat series it is a quick fast read. A well-written novella with romance, and one very sick villain. I received a copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing.
This is a sweet and loving story with a lot of spicy added in. I love Katie Douglas’ stories because they are just such nice reads that they tend to give my mood a nice little boost and my day some nice spice.
Alana is on the run from her jerk ex, Jimbo. She’s run from Seattle and is now in AZ, where she’s passed out in the heat at a gas station, right in front of a Cowboy in Shining Armor, Lawson. He spirits her home and gives her a safe place to stay. But there’s more between them than just being safe.
I really love Lawson. He’s really such a good man. He doesn’t have any ulterior motives when he decides to help Alana. He just does it because that’s what you do. He does become Alana’s rock and helps her by giving her a safe place to find herself, but I think that he doesn’t rescue her and find her as much as he lets her rescue herself and find herself. He’s the safe place she can go to while she’s doing that. I really like that. I think that they are really are perfect for each other.
This was a great story! I can’t wait to read more books in this series. I couldn’t put it down.
Alana is pregnant and on the run from her criminal ex-boyfriend when she faints on the gas station. She is helped by Lawson and his brother. He takes her back to his ranch to recover. They have a connection but Alana wants to protect him by leaving. Lawson doesn’t want her to leave. He wants her to stay so they can see where their relationship will go. What will they do when her ex-boyfriend comes back into her life?
Tie Me Down (Arizona Heat Book 1) by Katie Douglas is a great story to read. I really enjoyed reading this story a lot. I recommend this story to all.
This first book in the Arizona Heat series was HOT! This is Alana and Lawson’s story, but there are other characters in the book I suspect we’ll hear more of their story. Especially our twin, Clay. This was delightfully romantic; even with some spanking, which Lawson carefully meted when it was a punishment, and done erotically, when fooling around! Lawson is a cowboy you’ll fall in love with too! Nice character building to get to Alana and Lawson’s meeting up; and Lawson’s alpha male, protect the lady exhibitions. I loved this hot novella!
Alana was living with her boyfriend, and ex-con, who she thought she could change. Turned out he didn’t want change, he was happy with the type of life he’d always lived. And he didn’t want the baby she was carrying, that’s why he beat her with the intentions of her miscarrying. That’s why she ran from Seattle, Washington to Snake Eye, Arizona. She was on her way to New Mexico when she stopped for gas but and was so over taken by past events, emotions, and heat she passed out right there in the parking lot. That’s where Lawson had come in contact with her. He immediately picked her up, put her in his truck to cool her off and make sure she was alright. The instant attractions started there and ran rampant throughout the story. In Katie Douglas style, we have quick, easy read with a storyline that flows with characters having personalities and quirks that are just relatable to every day life. Of course, the good guy wins and we get our happily every after but not before we get the juicy bits of BDSM, and the trepidation of a past coming forward and a bad guy getting thwarted. I’m excited for Book 2, Make Me Stay to come out next.
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.
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
Well right from the start this book had my attention.
The plot was strong with a few twists you don’t see coming
The chemistry between the characters is steamy nearly from the first
time they set eyes on each other.
Alana is pregnant and on the run from her abusing ex. Fainted in front of Lawson
while she was getting gasoline.
This is definitely where the story well and truly begins.
Bit of a warning there’s a bit of sparking involved in the plot.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
This is a short, sweet and spicy romance. Lawson, is a lovable charcter, whom takes in Alana when she finds herself passed out in a gas station parking lot. I love Lawson protectiveness. There is great character development and great action inside and out of the bedroom. I was engrossed by this well written book and feel in love with the characters and the story. I recieved an advanced copy and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.
Alana is pregnant and on the run from her ex-boyfriend. He beat her after finding out she was pregnant. She faints in the gas station and ends up with Lawson on his ranch. Lawson is a real cowboy and attractive. He’s also the only one who may be able to protect Alana and her unborn baby. A quick, steamy read.
Tie Me Down is the first book I have read by this author and I really liked it. I loved Lawson and Alana. They had great chemistry and were perfect together.
I really enjoyed this short, sweet and steamy western from Katie Douglas. I’m sure you’ll fall in love with Lawson, the dreamy rancher, just like Alana does. This is Book One in a new series, Arizona Heat…with ‘heat’ being the operative word. 5 Stars!
Tie Me Down is the first book in the Arizona Heat series. Alana is on the run from her abusive ex when she stops for gas in Arizona and faints. Lawson is there and immediately takes action, bringing her to his ranch, wanting to protect Alana and her unborn baby. Their attraction is immediate, their connection building quickly, but can they keep each other safe from the dangers of her past?
This couple is so fun together, as they laugh, play, and joke through what life throws their way. But I also love their chemistry, both the sexy and the kinds that build their foundations to their future. I loved that Lawson was willing to do so much for a stranger, trying to master pregnancy cravings and using his dominance to keep Alana safe and protected. Alana was in a bad situation, but tried to do as much as she could for the safety of her baby. I loved that she never wanted to be a burden, loved some of her internal and emotional hiccups, but loved that Lawson could fulfill her needs. One aspect of this book that I loved was that Ms. Douglas wasn’t afraid to cover more sensitive topics, topics that really effected both Lawson and Alana, and they’re real topics that many readers might have experienced. I really enjoyed reading this book! It was sweet, made me giggle, fast paced, steamy, with a few elements of domestic discipline, and a whole lot of love! I’m so excited to see where this series is going to go next!

***I voluntarily received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review***
I give this a 3.5*.
This is a short, sweet Insta-love story with a lot of steam. I like the concept of the story but I feel that given the situation Alana was coming from things escalated just a little to quick for me. I liked it, wish for more. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
I received an ARC and volunteered to leave a review.
Loved Lawson and Alana’s love story. Alana was running from her ex-cub ex when she meets Lawson at a gas station. He instantly has the need to take care of Alana and make she that she is ok. The two have this insta lust for each other and things get real hot and steamy. Lawson wants to be the one to protect Alana but Alana doesn’t want to be a burden.
This is an insta lust/love romance with a lot of steam. You’ll just have to read to find out how or even if they get their HEA.
A great combination of sweet and sexy, Tie Me Down really had me hooked at the start. I went back and forth a lot on my feelings with this one. I loved the immediate connection Lawson and Alana had. From the second he finds her the sweetness just pours off the pages right along with the sparks that are flying between them. Based on that alone Lawson is definitely a king of swoon.
But as sweet as they were their story felt so rushed. Everything was moving at lightening speed right from the get go and things I really wanted to know more about were pretty glossed over at the pace that was set. I never really got to have that feeling of anticipation or excitement because of that and the more light BDSM aspect of their relationship seemed more out of left field than a true part of their story with so little leading up to it and no explanation at all behind it.
Overall though the sweetness, the steam and the humor were off the charts and this book really is a pretty fun escape for a quick read.
