About this listen
#1 Best-selling Historical Western author Maggie Ryan brings you the first book in The Red Petticoat series.
The Red Petticoat is not just another whorehouse. This is a place for every painted lady to get her happy ending. Madame Jewel and her 'gems' welcome hardworking men to come inside for a home-cooked meal or a few hands of cards. They are invited to listen to a pretty girl sing or watch a show. If a bit of intimate comfort is desired, they are welcome to go upstairs and into the arms of one of the beautiful women wearing the red petticoats. However, refer to its gems as whores and you'll find yourself tossed out into the street.
This story all begins when Lady Juliette Gardner discovers she has been set up and her reputation ruined. She decides to leave England for good and find her way to the goldfields of California with the hopes of creating her dream and possibly striking it rich.
To Gabriel Vasquez, the hard work and isolation of working his claim is the only way to achieve his dream. When he discovers his new partner is a woman, a very beautiful, very stubborn English woman, he has no problem – except for the fact that she refuses to think of her safety. If she is to be his partner, he will have no hesitation teaching her exactly what happens to naughty, cheeky English ladies.
Gabriel and Jewel will discover that life has room for more than one dream and as they settle themselves in Culpepper Cove. This mining town, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains, will never be the same once Juliette—Madame Jewel—opens The Red Petticoat.
Join award winning author Maggie Ryan as she begins the tale of The Red Petticoat and all of Madame Jewel's precious—but slightly flawed—gems.
Disclaimer: This book contains the spanking of adult women and explicit sexual scenes including anal play, and sex with multiple partners. If any of these offend you, please do not purchase this book.

Story
Once a respectable young governess, Louise Small tumbled from society's grace after her employer forced himself on her. She wound up at The Red Petticoat playing Little Lapis Lazuli, a submissive who dresses like a girl and offers her bottom up for frequent spankings. She enjoys her new identity, so far removed from the prim governess she'd been, but she longs for a real daddy - one who is kind and caring, yet willing to administer real discipline.

Widowed rancher Heath Wolfe worries he's making a big mistake by bringing Willow McAllister home to his ranch. A known troublemaker around town, she can't seem to keep a job or avoid skirmishes with the law, so the town marshal implores Heath to help. While Heath agrees to employ Willow, he certainly won't allow misbehavior, and he's even prepared to take the willful young lady over his knee for a sound spanking if warranted.

Story
He's a big, angry former Marine, and I'm going to be sore when he's done with me. Hawk Travers is not a man to be trifled with. I learned that lesson in the hardest way possible, first with a painful, humiliating public spanking and then much more shamefully in private. She came looking for trouble. She got a taste of my belt instead. Bryce Myers pushed me too far and she ended up with her bottom welted. But as satisfying as it is to hear this feisty little reporter scream my name as I put her in her place, I get the feeling she isn't going to stop snooping.

Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

cute story
Would you consider the audio edition of Jewel's Gems to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version, so cannot compare.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Netty - she has spunk and doesn't take anything from anyone..
Have you listened to any of Logan McAllister’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not listened to other Logan McAllister's performances, however, sometimes there was not much infliction in his narration, so it could get quite monotone.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Thwack!!

Fun historical western romance
I enjoyed listening to this book. The narration felt a little flat or monotone at times, but most of the time, it was good. The story felt a little long, it seemed to take forever for her to get to California. I loved Gabe though, and the narrator did an excellent job voicing him and his accent! I wish he had been in more of the book! All in all, it was a fun story, especially if you enjoy a little spanking in your romances! It left me wanting to hear the other books in this series!

Jewel's Gems
Any additional comments?
Even though this is the first book in the series, this is the second in the series that I have listened to. Each book in the series is written by a different author and can be listened to as a standalone. I enjoyed listening to how the Red Petticoat Saloon series started.
A feisty determined heroine, a strong dominant hero, a bit of romance, a little adventure and some steamy scenes all wrapped up in an entertaining story.
This series is a bit different than the normal historical westerns that I have listened to before. I requested this book for review and while I am not into spanking and I could have done without it, I enjoyed this story much more than another of her stories I recently listened too. Don't get me wrong a little bit of spanking is one thing but one of the spankings in this story bordered on abuse to me. The standing in the corner was just humiliation. If you do not like books with dominant males and spankings than this is not the book for you.
Don't get the wrong impression, Juliette becomes/is an independent, strong and smart woman. She just doesn't always think things through first. Which gets her into a bit of trouble. She meets her match in Gabriel. He is determined to keep her out of trouble and teach her to think first and act second. If she doesn't listen then he's going to teach her a lesson she won't forget.
I liked that there was enough time spent on Juliette's backstory to get a clear picture of her but at the same time I wish she and Gabriel and met sooner and had had more time to develop their relationship.
Logan McAllister did a really good job with the narration. Nice voice. Easy to listen to for long periods of time. Clearly spoken. Nice even pace to the narration. Great character voices and accents. He made the characters and the story come to life. Very enjoyable
Repeated line chapter 14 & 18.

Quick, fun read
Would you try another book from Maggie Ryan and/or Logan McAllister?
I will.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
For the most part, I enjoyed the story and with any romance novel there will be embellishments to match the story line. Some of the content did not match the time portrayed and that was a little difficult to grasp while listening. It is implausible that family members would be so willing/ quick to accept the fall from grace a Lady had taken, let alone the intent to start a brothel. More character cultivation would need to be given, rather than blind acceptance.
What three words best describe Logan McAllister’s voice?
At times robotic. While McAllister did a good job with all the voices, many of the passages were read witha robotic clipped tone rather than smooth flow.
Could you see Jewel's Gems being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No...though Lifetime might do something.

Maggie does it again kudos, hot and fun.
Loved this book listened to it in one go I couldn't stop listening.
I've listened to one other book narrated by Logan McAllister and at the time I didn't care for it, I couldn't figure out why at the time. Now stay with me folks. I now think it was because it was a male voice and it threw me off. This time I enjoyed his reading a lot more. He brought the story to life for me.
The story was hot, fun and different. Maggie Ryan is one of my favorite spanking authors.

The Begining
Any additional comments?
Pleasant surprise when I discovered this was the start of The Red Petticoat Salon, I`ve already listen to a few in this series and it was great to finally learn how it all come to be.
All the characters are very likable and it was a fun read.
