Tied Up, Tied Down by Lorelei James
5.0
Tied Up, Tied Down is definitely my favorite Rough Riders book so far. This one was not at all like the previous three because this one, while still being erotica, actually seemed to focus more on the romance. It focused on the relationship between Kade McKay and Skylar Ellison. You got to see them grow as people, individually but also together; you got to see them struggle to be family not just for themselves but for their precious baby girl while still trying to come to terms with their feelings for each other. Another thing I loved about this book was the fact that Kade was the one who was in love with Skylar throughout the whole story. Most of the time it's the other way around and I really enjoyed seeing Kade love her so much while Sky struggled to realize that she loved Kade and that she had to give herself over to that love or else she'd never be completely happy.
I want Kade. I want to marry him, to have his babies, to be tied up so he can have his wicked way with me. Whatever. I just want him. He was as sweet as pie and pretty much the cutest thing ever. I absolutely adored seeing him with Eliza, knowing how much he wanted a family and kids of his own. The fact that he spent so much time with her and didn't mind doing all the dirty work that comes with having a baby probably made me fall for him even more. He's, like, the perfect man! Also, I loved that he had a dominant streak but wasn't an utter jackass about it, like Colby, Carter, and hell even Cord were in their books. While he was completely intense about it, Kade didn't hurt Sky in any way and he even let her take the reins sometimes. Like I said, I want him. Please. Pretty please with a cherry on top of me.
I really liked Skylar, too, and I loved seeing her grow throughout the book with the help of Kade, Eliza, and Indy. I think that she was the person who needed to grow the most, especially within her relationship with Kade and it was interesting to see her transformation. Obviously she didn't change completely but it was enough to make it believable that she'd actually grown.
Colt, my adorable Colt...I love him even more. And I love my wonderful Cam even more too. I was very excited when Cam showed up at the family gathering. I loved that Cam and Colt, and their other cousins, protected Kade when that jackass was beating him up. I also liked seeing the transformation in Kane, even though I think it's ridiculous that he wants to be called "Buck" now. Silly man.
So, like I said, this book is definitely my favorite Rough Riders book so far, but I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I particularly look forward to rereading Branded As Trouble since I know who the hell everyone is now and Shoulda Been A Cowboy about my beloved Cam.
