About this listen

Abby Raines is leaving Las Vegas. She's trading the glitter and excess of her hometown for the rolling hills and lush forests of Rapid City, South Dakota. She's taken her first real job, and she's determined to succeed on her own.

Mark Marsten traded the Texas range for the Army Rangers years ago and never looked back. Now he's settled permanently in Rapid City with the remaining members of his Special Forces unit. He thought he had it all - well, almost, anyway. Until a sassy redhead with a sharp tongue and body to die for rolled into town.

Mark knows that he's too much for her long-term, but he can't resist a fling with Rapid City's newest resident. He thought that he knew the game. After all, it's his game. And always his rules. But more and more it feels like Abby is the one holding all the cards.

I consider myself quite open to most things but I had to stop listening at times. There is only so much I can take about stretching, butt plugs and fisting

Felt a little cheated with this book , if your not into listening to BDSM then this is not for you as that whats it is from start to finish. I did not connect with the two main characters at all . I read Hawk out of sequence and I am pleased I did as if i had read this following Shooter not sure i would have continued with series .

Mason does a fine job narrating but would have liked a lot more story behind the BDSM

not in the same league as Shooter and Hawk

Here we're meeting Abby Raines 'Vegas' who's just moving up from Vegas as the new assistant manager for the hotel there. But before she even had gotten into town Mark Marston 'Tex' comes across her, fixing her car.
Tex, sees her again when she goes to the shop looking in selling her Dad's old classic bike. And he knows he's got to have her, just for a fling. And Tex likes his being in charge & using his Dominance.
Though Abby's from a bustling city I expected Her to know a bit more about BDSM but she practically only knows the extreme.
So this is the start of what they both thinks will be just a fling, NOT expecting things to start moving as quick as they do. Though there was the part of where he treats her to the worse humiliation going, I personally would've just walked, well as soon as I could, but not Vegas she stays.
He thinks he'd be able to leave her be, heck no he can't & Abby feels the same & surprises him. And it's after this, that the 2 can't leave each other alone. And it's during a weekend in Vegas & especially on return to her new home, where we see how Sassy & a force to be reckoned with, Abby actually is...

HOT, SEXY & SASSINESS

Another excellent storyline. Made me cringe at times as i’m not into BDSM but still very well written and both are great characters

Eye opening!

I usually like BSDM stories and even forced sex dark Mafia stories, so I’m definitely not squeamish, but it seemed to me that early this n and he sexual relationship, the MC pressurised her into doing things she didn’t want to do rather than gently bringing her along. Either he - or the author! - couldn’t be bothered putting in the time to let her get there by herself.
I disliked it so much, felt sickened, that I skipped around 20 chapters to get to see how the story ended.

Made me uncomfortable.

WARNING BDSM and EXPLICIT LANGUAGE USED...

I'm not into BDSM, however, I did learn that for some it's not about hurting it's about trust.

I have always found some of the explicit words used distasteful, however, in the context of this book they did fit.

I LOVE Mason Lloyd's voice and in these books I have become a fan of his vocal talent.

I really enjoyed the first book and liked the character of Tex. However I stopped listening to this one. I don’t want to hear about somebody being scared and humiliated.

So, where do I begin! I listened to this as a follow up to Shooter (which was excellent), but I have to say, this one was dire! Don’t get me wrong, the writing and narration were still as good but the storyline was ridiculous and obviously trying to rival 50 Shades of Grey! In summary, naive girl from out of town bumps into handsome stranger and suddenly decides she’s into bondage and wants to be his submissive. He then puts her through a series of humiliating acts which she just goes along with willingly. The BDSM element was clearly well researched, as it goes into graphic detail but really? 🤔 The icing on the cake was that the handsome stranger calls her ‘Pet’ at every opportunity which really made me struggle to take him seriously (for non UK listeners this is a term of endearment in Newcastle). All I could think of was Ant & Dec?! 🤣 I tried very hard to keep listening as I thought it would have some relevance to the next book in the series, but it was so ludicrous, and I’m afraid gave up!

Like a bad night out in Newcastle without Ant & Dec!!
