Tied Up, Tied Down (Rough Riders #4) by Lorelei James

...The strongest bonds are the ones unseen.

Businesswoman Skylar Ellison is firmly in control of her life. So getting tangled up with a sexy Wyoming cowboy—and conceiving a baby in the parking lot of a honky-tonk—wasn’t in her plan. Since it appears the daddy has taken off for greener pastures, the only thing to do is pull up her bootstraps and carry on alone.

Cattle rancher Kade McKay returns home after a year on the range, and is knocked for a loop when he learns he’s the father of a three-month-old baby girl. When Skylar refuses to marry him, Kade grits his teeth, moves in and plays house by her rules to prove he’s a man in for the long haul.

Despite Skylar’s insistence they are to remain strictly parenting partners, their old passions flare hot as a brush fire, spurring Kade to demand absolute sexual surrender from the headstrong woman. Skylar willingly submits her body to the hot-blooded cowboy but she’s leery of handing Kade the reins to her heart.
Can Kade convince Skylar the wicked sex games aren’t a temporary distraction? Or will he have to bust out the ropes to show her he wants to be tied to her…forever?

Warning: This book contains: no holes barred kinky sex scenes, wicked rope play, blunt language, and yowza! lots of hot cowboy nekkidness.

4 out of 5 stars

This was so entertaining, sweet and sexy! Kane was awesome. Great addition to the series!

Kane was awesome, I adored him. He was just so sweet and willing to do just about anything for those he cares for. Skylar I liked, she's was rather stubborn and had serious control issues so I didn't love her but I got her. It was really fun watching Kane and Skylar come together, their easy acceptance of the situation and all their ups and downs and hot sexy time.

This was a fast paced, light, easy read that was just outright entertaining. I enjoy all the McCay and West family craziness and the awesome male bonding between the brothers and cousins. I have to say though, there are so many different characters to keep track of, it can get overwhelming and make me feel like I need a family tree so I know who is who. Sometimes all the connections feel like to much. There's a lot of cowboy speak and twangy inflections just like the other books, I roll with it as best as I can but sometimes it feels overdone.

Honestly with these books, I go in wanting fun and sexy times, something that's not taxing and easy to enjoy. That's totally what I got. I'm also a sucker for a happily ever after and this story had an awesome one. Great read! Sweet and sexy and heartfelt all rolled into one. When I read these stories, I know exactly what I’m going to get – fun and heat!
