Publisher's summary

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.

Unexpectedly good

I had guessed that this would be risqué just by the title and it is. I was actually impressed that the author progressed it into a beautiful love story with balanced amounts of not for faint of heart sexually explicit sex. I give the book 5 stars but I couldn't overlook some issues I had with character strengths.. And I was not overly fond of the narrator.. But hey, everyone is different..what I dislike someone else will love..

Really Enjoy Series - Tied Up/Down One of My Faves

What did you like best about this story?

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?

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

She is just really limited - in my opinion. She is not bad but not exceptional either.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Kade's realization that 'nice guys finish last'.

Any additional comments?

As the summary warns: This book contains: no holes barred kinky sex scenes, wicked rope play, blunt language, and yowza lots of hot cowboy nekkidness.

This series is a guilty pleasure.

✫✫ 3.5 Stars ✫✫

Awe I love Kade with his daughter! That is the best thing about this book in my opinion. I didn't love this book but I did enjoy Skylar and Kade''s story, it was HOT and sweet. While they have an unconventional start, they find their way. I really did enjoy all the relationships in this book. Skylar & India for example, even though they didn't have an easy life or easy relationship, in the end they are sisters and they watch out for each other.

I'm feeling like a broken record with the narration but it really bothers me that she doesn't give any of the characters an accent. They are cowboys and in my head they have a southern accent.

HOT HOT HOT - SEXY AMAZING KADE !!

Any additional comments?

This is my favorite book in the series so far. I absolutely loved Skylar and Kade and sweet baby Eliza. I’m not always a fan of couples having children in an erotic romance novel, not every author can pull this off authentically. But Lorelei has written a wonderful love story that captures the the joys and difficulties in becoming an unexpected family while managing to keep the romance, and Sexual chemistry SMOKING HOT - Extremely HOT....... Kade is one amazing Man ;)


They only dated briefly but Kade fell hard and fast. Unfortunately, things didn't work out and they broke up and went their separate ways. Kade was going through a hard time and he volunteered to live on a remote area of the McKay ranch for a year for a cattle grazing experiment. In the mean time, Skylar discovered was pregnant with Kade’s baby. Not knowing where he went and not having anyway to contact him, Skylar was on her own. When Kade returned a year later and realized he had a three month old daughter with Skylar - whom he’s been in love with since before they broke up - he becomes determined to be a father to his daughter and charm his way back into Skylar’s bed and ultimately her heart.

Rebecca Estrella is a very talented narrator. Her voice changing skills are magic and she always captures me and hold me in with-in a story...

The Cowboy and the Lady = what a match!

Would you listen to Tied Up, Tied Down again? Why?

Yes I would listen to ALL THE FOUR BOOKS again!!! Why? because they are just so amazing. Full of detail, family life, passion, friendship, pain, love, so bloody amazing!

What other book might you compare Tied Up, Tied Down to and why?

Only fair to compare to her other books in the same series as no other can compare. So far, for me, books 1 to 4, all amazing. None less than the other which is usually the case. Not with these. All are brilliant. Different and just as fantastic.

What about Rebecca Estrella’s performance did you like?

Again, I'm so glad that the narration is consistent and continues to be Rebeca. She totally complements this series. A perfect match.

Any additional comments?

I'm ready for book 5. Have listened to 1, 2, 3 and 4 in less than 2 weeks, they're that good!

Not thrilling but goof

I found myself missing an edge or excitement in this story.
The sex is spicy but I had a hard time caring about these characters. I'm also not a big fan of a writer introducing me to so many other characters that I can't keep track and don't care to. There was lots of useless chatter between these side characters. It was almost like this book was a vehicle to promote the other books of the writer.
