Roped In by A.M. Arthur

4.0

**I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**

Roped In is the second book in the Clean Slate Ranch series. I haven't read the first book in the series and read Roped In as a standalone without issue.

Colt has made Clean Slate Ranch his home after his life as a SWAT officer ends. A shooting in which he accidentally killed his best friend, Mack's lover creating havoc in his friendship and his relationship. He walked out on Avery, his Sir, five years prior. They started off as strictly Sir/pet relationship that grew into something neither could deny. They were hot and heavy until Colt's guilt and Avery's job pulled them apart.

Avery shows up at the ranch while working on a project putting him and Colt back together. Can they get over Colt's sudden disappearance all those years ago? Can they deny the heat and passion they have when they are near each other? Can they rebuild the trust that was broken? Can Avery be the Sir that Colt needs in his life?

I loved the ranch/cowboy aspect. Even without the bdsm aspect it would have been a good read for me. It didn't add or take away anything for me. I felt that Avery took way too long to express his issues with wanting it all with Colt. It was one of those simple conversations that took way too long to have but other than that I found Roped In an enjoyable read.
