Who Would Like This Book:
If you love sizzling western romances with genuine cowboy charm, Tied Up, Tied Down delivers both heat and heart. Lorelei James paints a vivid picture of hardworking ranch life, strong family ties, and steamy chemistry between complicated leads. Fans of the secret baby trope, single parents, or stories featuring alpha-but-sweet heroes will fall in love with Kade's devotion. There's a strong sense of community and family drama that runs through the series, making it perfect for readers who like their romance laced with real-life complications, lots of character interactions, and, of course, some smoking-hot love scenes.
Who May Not Like This Book:
Some readers may be turned off by the dominant alpha male behavior, the abundance of explicit sex scenes - including light BDSM - and Skylar's constant control issues that stretch the conflict. If you prefer less steamy, more subdued or traditional romances, this will feel over the top. The ongoing family feuds and recurring characters can be confusing for those who haven’t read earlier books in the series. And if you’re not a fan of the secret baby trope or find the setup unrealistic, this might not be your cup of tea.

From The Publisher:
The strongest bonds are the ones unseen Rough Riders series 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.
