He’ll do anything for you. But you’d better say please.
When tomboy sports reporter Charli Beaumonde loses a dream TV job because she’s not girly enough for primetime, she’s determined to land a big scoop and prove her boss made a mistake. But when she gets too close to a football scandal and finds her life threatened, Charli accepts an offer from family friend Grant Waters to hide out at his place—even if Grant predicts nothing but trouble from his buddy’s hard-headed, uncompromising, irrepressible, younger sister. There’s one more problem…
Grant’s “place” is The Ranch, a BDSM resort in Texas, and he’s used to being in charge —even if that means trying to keep Charli in line. But much to Grant’s surprise, she’s intrigued—even envious—of his trainees. They’re the epitome of what she’s never been: sexy, beguiling, and totally irresistible to a man. Still, Grant doesn’t believe for a minute that the sharp-tongued Charli has it in her to be anyone’s submissive. But Charli’s already on her knees vying for the chance to prove that even the Master can be wrong sometimes.

Reviewer’s Thoughts:
Grant has it all going for him, a successful ranch, good friends, and a blazing hot side business. The only thing he is missing in his secret world of BDSM is his sub. No matter how many girls he interviews; he still can’t seem to find one that “sparks” his interest. That is until he meets Charli. Of course she is everything but submissive, or so he thinks, and now that he has seen all she has to offer he finds himself sharing more of himself than he likes. Finding a way to break down his ten foot wall and overcome the pain held deep within will be anything but easy and he only has two weeks to do it or risk losing Charli forever.
Charli is a tomboy to the core. Raised by her father and extremely overprotective brother no one could blame her. She is one of the guys and refuses to ever believe otherwise even if she is dying to be one of the girls. Pushing forward she puts everything into her career and an extremely dangerous assignment that lands her right in the arms of Grant and in the middle of a entirely different world. She is sexy here, wanted, desired, but most of all she feels like the Charli she never thought she could be. It wasn’t easy, but this 6’4” cowboy has made her feel every bit the woman that she is and falling was all too easy; but how could he ever love her back. She knew his past was painful and finding out his secrets made it only a thousand times harder. Now she has two weeks to change his mind or leave her heart in Texas.
Charli may come off as a tomboy but that doesn’t seem to sway the way Grant sees her at all. From the first moment he saves her all he can think about is her and that amazing body. Especially, when he realizes the attraction is mutual. Of course Charli didn’t have any idea what she was getting into but her stubbornness is a perfect match for Grant’s and once she calls his bluff the fall begins.
Being almost six feet, myself, it made this book a thousand times better for me. What woman doesn’t like to feel dainty and precious? Throw in a cowboys mind set and some serious sexy and you have one amazing male lead. Of course having all of that you have to mix in some southern sarcasm and that is where Charli comes in. This book was amazingly sexy with love right in the middle. I cannot wait to read more.
