Clark’s Decision by Deanna Rowley

Clark Riceman had finally retired from the military. It was time to get out and go home to support his sister and see what she had done with the family ranch while he’d been doing what he loved. The day he returned, he hadn’t even reached his home when he suspected that someone on The Broken Wheel Ranch was in trouble. Armed with that knowledge, he finally headed home, making a silent vow to protect everyone on the Riceman Ranch, regardless of which business they worked.

Naomi Alcott had been in an accident years ago and was confined to a wheelchair, but she didn’t let that stop her from doing what she loved—working with horses. Her biggest concern when she realized Clark was home was that he would take her position away from her. When she got to know him, she realized her friends had been right, and he wasn’t like that.

It shocks her that he wants to help her when she starts having trouble with her previous injuries. Can she really fall for the owner of the ranch and not be accused of trying to further her career? Will Clark be there when she finds out who is after her?

Clark has retired from the SEALS to the family ranch, Erin’s Way A lot has changed and he carried some guilt for leaving his sister to shoulder all the responsibility. Bur Erin comes from a long line of strong women and the longer he’s at the ranch the more he realises just how much he missed out on.

His former team-mates have all found love at the ranch and these women, like his sister, all have challenges, disabilities and mental health issues. Naomi has been paralysed after an “accident”, one that she’s pretty sure was a set up by her nightmare of a father. She has overcome most of the hurdles life threw her way but Clark could be another obstacle to overcome with his protectiveness – she wants a partner not a protector.

This hasn’t been my favourite book in the BPW. I really wanted to enjoy it more as a fellow spinal injury warrior but I just felt really disconnected from Clark and Naomi and I’m still struggling to find out why. I don’t think the cover helped as Clark is described in his 30’s and the cover model I’m afraid had me thinking he was nearer my age (late 40’s)

Command and Control by Jemma Westbrook

𝐒𝐢𝐱 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨, 𝐈 𝐛𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐧.

I wanted to work for his company. Desperately. Did all I could to prove my worth and plead my case.

𝑇𝑜 𝑛𝑜 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙.

Until the night I come home to find his card on my kitchen counter.

What follows is a game of cat and mouse that leaves me afraid and excited and even more attracted to the grumpy, silver fox mercenary who’s occupied my mind for months.

When we finally come face to face it’s toe-curlingly combustive. Vincent runs just as hot as I do and it’s not long before I discover what happens when a man like him decides you’re his.

𝐻𝑒 𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢.

Wants every inch of your body and soul–and I’m happy to hand it all over.

I went into this book cold – I’d never read anything by this author before and now I’m kicking myself! This book was…HAWT! The MC’s were my age. They’ve had a life – they’ve loved, lost, adjusted dream and expectations and keep on kicking.

Vincent is gruff, tough, grouchy and a martinet. His crew work hard for him and he thinks he’s losing control ‘cos they call him by his first name! He is all arrogance, alpha male, take charge with a dark and dominating streak.

Julieanne is divorced, a mother of two and an extraordinary hacker. She wants to work for the best and she’s not above sabotage to get the attention she knows she deserves. She knows what she wants out of life and love. She thought her fantasy Vincent was scorching…then she got to taste the real deal!

Vincent is over the top in everything he does – it’d drive me mad in real life but it’s perfectly acceptable in BBF. Julieanne is determined, adventurous, bold and will do anything for those she loves. This woman may not be a warrior by training but she can hold her own against any of Vincent’s guys!

The cat/mouse, voyeur/exhibitionist scenes between these two will make you laugh out loud and fan yourself at the same time.

I will happily immerse myself back in this world anytime!
