Wonderfully erotic and romantic, December 29, 2007
This review is from: The Rancher's Ultimatum (Paperback)
Jake Rangell and Lynn James have secretly desired each other for years. Yet the bad blood between their families, which rivaled the feuds between "The Hatfields and The McKoys", made pursuing love a tad difficult.
However, dire financial straits have Lynn doing the unthinkable - asking for Jake's help to save her family's ranch. He accepts, but under one condition -- that she live with him and be "his" in every sense of the word -- for two weeks.
HAVE MERCY! Jake made my palms sweat just turning the pages. He puts the "A" in Alpha male. He's brooding, sexy and has been waiting for years to claim Lynn as his woman.
Lynn (lucky woman) has loved Jake forever. Although initially hesitant about the proposition, she soon discovers that this was an offer she'd be crazy to refuse. Together, they were a wonderful, passionate couple.
This book was too HOT!! It was my first Nia Foxx read and it will not be my last! Ms. Foxx brought the sexiness of erotic romance to the forefront and she didn't let go until the end.
"The Rancher's Ultimatum" was about trust in oneself and the courage to find love in the midst of family strive and uncertainty.
There was a small element of BDSM which made the book downright sexy! (I am so into cowboys right now!) Personally, if I had someone like Jake "disciplining" me, I'd misbehave on purpose (smile). Great book!

4.5 Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!, December 4, 2007
This review is from: The Rancher's Ultimatum (Paperback)
Lynn James became a member of the Harrington family the day her mother married Race Harrington. Because of this, the longstanding feud between the Harrington's and the Rangell's became hers, notwithstanding the fact that Lynn secretly yearned for Jake Rangell and continues to do so. Lynn is called home because of her brother's lazy financial decisions which could cause them to lose their family home. Seeing no other options but to ask for help, Lynn swallows her pride and heads to the Rangell ranch and the man that she dreams about every night, Jake.
Jake Rangell knows he is seeing things. Lynn James is in his office asking him for help to get her family out of a financial bind. Feeling downright contrary because of his unexpected desire for the dark beauty, Jake comes up with a solution for Lynn's problem. If she agrees to become his submissive for two weeks without question, Jake will solve all of her financial woes. Things don't look good when Lynn storms out. Jake doesn't have the heart to tell her that he was just pushing her buttons; especially when she calls him back and agrees to his proposition.
Their coming together is dominant, explosive, and just downright sensual. However, their idyllic time comes to an end when the man who raised Lynn finds out and proceeds to confront the lovers.
Oh my! Every girl needs a sexy rancher like Jake Rangell! Wiping sweat off of my brow, I have to congratulate Lynn on being able to tame that bad boy in her own special way. Totally delicious, THE RANCHER'S ULTIMATUM was completely savored in one sitting. Finding myself drawn in to the story, I winced at Jake's somewhat indecent proposal, but had to give Lynn a high five for her gutsy and daring response.
All in all, this is a very well told story. While there are elements of D/s, THE RANCHER'S ULTIMATUM is not an over-the-top BDSM novel. Instead, it is a very delightful look at a couple's ability to overcome obstacles not of their making in order to achieve the desires hidden in their hearts. I really, really liked this one.

Great Read, September 1, 2007
This review is from: The Rancher's Ultimatum (Paperback)
This story is a great read it is about a woman that returns to the ranch were she grew up to save it from her families nemesis. The plot thickens when her nemesis who she has secretly had a crush on only agrees to assist if she stays a week with him. I really liked the characters in this story. This was a fun and sexy read.
