After retiring from professional bull riding, Jason Waters lived a quiet life at his horse ranch in Kentucky. But a favor to a friend landed him in a distressing situation and brought him to Simone Levine. He had a secret fantasy he was not willing to indulge in but she might just have the skills to loosen him up and show him the ropes.
Fans of Original Sinners might remember Simone as one of the side character in the series. She was fun and uninhibited, but still respectful of others.
Jason was such a sweet hero. He was raised to be a perfect gentleman which contradicted with what he desired deep down sexually. It became a dilemma of what he wanted to do and what was expected of him.
This book was not what I expected. Considering it’s an erotic romance set in the Original Sinners world, I thought it’d be dirtier lol! It was very light, sweet and low on actual kink.
Both characters were cute and very likable. I like the dynamic of their relationship but I wanted them to play and explore more - which would help add the kink factor. The conflict was also easily resolved and I wanted to know more about how their relationship affected the people around them. I felt like it wasn’t enough to fully resolve the issue.
Picture Perfect Cowboy is a story of embracing one’s desires. It would appeal to readers looking for an easy reading light romance with a gentle sprinkle of kink.
Tiffany Reisz has done it again! Jason "Still" Waters thinks he knows how his life is supposed to be, until he meets photographer Simone. She shows him the possibilities he never imagined. Well written, fully developed characters tackling mature subject matter in a responsible way. And did I mention it's sweet and romantic and hot? Highly recommend in this genre and beyond!
Simone Levine is a photographer and professional submissive. Being her gregarious and sweet self, Simone makes an impression on the man posing in front of her lens. Comfortable with her kinky lifestyle, she is open with her choices making her endearing and relatable.
Jason Waters is a former champion bull rider who now manages his horse training business in Kentucky. Raised to be a gentleman, Jason struggles with balancing his conservative values with his fantasies. However, when Jason meets Simone he quickly realizes that it may be the opportunity he’s been waiting for.
Feeling a connection, Simone offers to “play” with Jason in hopes of helping him act out his deeply hidden desires. What transpires between these two is unexpected as Jason gives himself permission to dominate as he wishes. With Simone being a seasoned submissive, she is familiar with emotional boundaries but Jason’s playfulness and sweet side has her contemplating much more. As he opens up more, they find a rhythm in their dynamic.
Knowing details about Simone from previous Original Sinners books, I was envisioning her to be with an intense dominant partner, however with Jason, she finds more of a playful balance since Jason is very inexperienced. For me, because of the need to obey and Jason’s enjoyment from inflicting punishment, the dynamic between them felt like DD/lg.
Due to Jason’s conservative upbringing, his transition from trying kink to accepting it as an indelible part of his being is integral to his character. While Simone couldn’t have been a better partner to pop Jason’s Dom cherry, I wanted to delve a bit more into the conflict with his family and his acceptance. I was certainly glad when Simone set the record straight showing she isn’t a pushover.
Ultimately, Picture Perfect Cowboy is a book that will make many smile as the narration is infused with humor, sexiness and a touch of kink. For those who have not read the Original Sinners series, this book can be read as a standalone but it would be more enjoyable to those familiar with the subtleties of the series.
Picture Perfect Cowboy is a love story about acceptance and being honest with yourself. This book would appeal to those who enjoy a sizzling romance with sincere, likable, and good-natured characters.
A sweet and sexy cowboy who likes to give a little pain with his pleasure? Yes, please!!
I love Jason. He was raised, by his super conservative family, to be a “proper gentleman”. But the downside of that is that he can’t be true to himself. And when he’s filling in for a friend, for a naked photo shoot, he meets the sexiest, and cutest pink haired girl that turns his world upside down. She shows him that what happens between two consenting adults is nothing to be ashamed about and that there is nothing wrong with him.
Simone is a pro sub who never imagined a photo would change her life. But who can deny a sexy cowboy? Definitely not her.
It was fun watching this cowboy fall over for this cute girl. It was hot as he learned how to be more physical with a girl who wants and needs it. I could watch him all day long.
It was nice to see Søren and Nora make an appearance also. I about swooned when S called Simone “Jellybean”. I mean how sweet is that‽‽ plus we get a bonus chapter with Jason getting flogger lessons from them. They are the best after all.
I will say that I hope a certain friend gets a story soon. I feel like there’s more there and he needs to find someone also. *crossing fingers*
Tiffany Reisz is the master, or I should say mistress, of the sweet and saucy erotica. Whenever I see a new book has released I know that it will be original and keep me begging for more.
Tiffany Reisz's Picture Perfect Cowboy is a sexy, sweet coming into your own story. I must say that I absolutely enjoyed this book. About a Conservative Cowboy who wants to be Dominate but has shameful feelings because of his upbringing and pretty New York photographer who's willing to teach him it's not wrong. Will his demons let him find true love with her in the end.
This is a really good book I really couldn't put it down. Thumbs up to Tiffany for such an amazing subject line.
One of my favourite reads of 2018. Nobody writes kink like Tiffany Reisz.
Jason is the perfect example of a closet dominant. Shamed for his wants by family and living a half life until a chance encounter with submissive Simone "Spanky" and then kaboom 💥
It's got chemistry for days, I definitely had my squirmy face while reading this one - HOT!!! Add in plenty of humour and witty dialogue and it's a fast paced smart story I couldn't get enough of.
Oh and it was an awesome surprise to also briefly catch up with Nora & Soren. I feel a reread coming on with those two.
If there's one thing Tiffany Reisz knows, it's how to write a sexy story, and we definitely get that with Simone and Jason. I appreciated how Jason was portrayed: the prodigal son of a good, conservative family, who's always done the right thing, the "good" thing that's been expected of him. Yet his fantasies are dark and seeing him struggle with the vast differences between what's right in the eyes of his family and hometown versus what he truly desires was interesting. Once he realized that there is a world out there he didn't know existed was something awesome to see. Simone is perfect for him and I thoroughly enjoyed this story!
I really enjoyed this story. The chemistry between the characters was hot!
I'm a fan of this author so I went in blind
Not exactly sure what i thought I was going to read but definitely still her style.
Having read and loved all the Original Sinners and the spin-offs, I had high expectations.
It was likely my high expectations that only made this an average read for me.
It was a kind of vanilla with an extra scoop.
Or vanilla with kinky fairy dust sprinkles.
See, my expectations gave me a preconceived idea of what type of story I was going to get.
I wasn't expecting light, fluffy, insta-love. I wasn't expecting a sweet romance.
So all that is on me and not the story.
I should point out, I tend to avoid both sweet romance and insta-love. It's just not my bag.
Therefore, this was a story that didn't appeal to my personal reading tastes, but if you're new to TR and looking for a light read, this one could be a hit for you!
Huge thanks to the publisher for providing a review copy via NG.

I'm fairly new to this series having only ever read The Chateau which I totally loved, however this story I did like it but not love. It just didn't quite grab me so much, maybe because it's an insta love story that I didn't connect with it or it's characters so much i'm not really sure. I did really like the idea behind the characters and their backgrounds, but I just didn't get how Jason being such a conservatively bought up man that suddenly after a couple of days would be everything a professional sub would want and need, maybe if their story was over a longer length of time it would have seemed more plausible as then he would have been able to learn and grown into being the master that Simone craves.
Having said all that the story was pretty well written apart from, the word Kink was referred to far to often that it started to irritate me a lot, we already know that book is a BDSM based story so it was just unneeded to be referred to all of the time. The story did have it's merits though especially the message of be who you are and not let others make you feel like you should only live a certain way. I was really hoping that this book would blow me away with it's content but i'm afraid it was just an ok story for me. 3.5 Stars!
I am a great fan of the Original Sinner series so reading Picutre Perfect Cowboy was more than a pleasure. The main character Jason, who feels there is a kinky side in him, however he does not know how to find himself in this. And here comes Simone (known from previous books in the series) who helps him discover not only hidden desire but true love at the same time. Moreover she shows him that life it's important to follow own judgement and instincts and not to try to please all other at any cost.
I enjoyed the book immensely, especially the way the characters are presented and the relationship between them. So if you loved previous books in the series, this is a must read for you.
*I was given ARC via NetGalley for review. This is my own opinion.
Jason Waters is a fantastic quiet character. He's into his own world, with no desire to venture beyond. Until he's filling in for an injured friend as a subject in a charity calendar. A nude charity calendar. Hehe
Anyhoo...The photographer is a cutie pie of a sexy young woman with pink hair. Simone is a professional submissive as well as a photographer and corset model. Which makes her the perfect person to diagnose Jason.
The story could be read as a standalone, I guess, but you might not want to, because there are so freaking many mentions of our favorite characters throughout, you might feel a bit left out.
Søren and Nora's wisdom added to this story just makes it all the more perfect. I wouldn't change a single thing. Except maybe making this longer.... like - neverending.
This tutorial turned sexy romance turned another sweet as hell (though not so much of a mindfuck as we're used to) addition to the series is just perfect. It somewhat completes another facet to Tiffany's world.
Adored!
I really enjoyed this sexy, kinky, standalone novel. It is set in the Original Sinner's world and even though it is a standalone, it is most enjoyable if you are familiar with that universe. Jason is almost too good to be true, but I loved him so very much. His journey from hurt and confused to discovering who he is and what makes him happy is heartwarming. This is first and foremost a story about finding who you are and accepting yourself no matter the expectations of others. Simone is a free-spirit who is completely grounded in her own sexuality and she makes it her top priority to help Jason come to terms with some pretty heavy issues. I loved the honest voice that Tiffany Reisz brings to this genre and getting a little bit of Nora and Soren made it even better!
I absolutely loved this spicy and hot book. Tiffany Reisz wrote a book that made me want to go watch bull riding to see hot cowboys. She made Jason the ideal man who didn’t want his fantasies to be real. He was scared they were wrong. Until he met his perfect pink haired woman Simone at a photo shoot. Simone shows him that it doesn’t matter what others think or believe. That what two people do in the privacy of their home is their business and as long as it’s consensual, who cares! I loved this book cause the characters are funny and sweet and realistic. But the message is so important because it tells others that it doesn’t matter what you are into as long as you are happy and it’s consensual. It’s nobody’s business to judge you. This book was also super hot and the scenes were so well written. Wow!! Great descriptive writing and great scenes when they are together.
I liked this story. The plot and characters in the story are well developed. On the surface it is about kink but in essence this story is about self-acceptance, a real life struggle for so many.
I was provided with a copy of this book by NetGalley for review. The opinion expressed is my own.
I enjoyed this book and these characters. The instant chemistry & attraction between Jason and Simone is very fun. Simone is such a wonderful, self-assured character who knows herself and what she wants. Jason struggles with the feelings of guilt and shame he's internalized from his family and the culture we live in. Together, they just "click" and the plot itself is very insta-love, where the sexual chemistry pulls the reader along into thinking they have a real chance.
At times, it read a little more like a thinly veiled primer to the world of kink, kind of a "BDSM for beginners" book. But you know what, considering all the books with bad BDSM out there, maybe we all need that in the world. Brief appearances by Nora and Soren will please the Original Sinners readers, but if like me you haven't read those books, it won't distract from your ability to enjoy this one.
If Tiffany Reisz write a new book, I have to read it. If it's related to The Original Sinners series it really is a must!
I think this was a sweet story, and if you know about the O.S series you probably know about kink, right? Well, yes this book got it too.
This story is also about stepping out of your comfort zone, to do things others might not approve on, to be true to one self, to your heart and your soul no matter what others might think.
And I'm so happy to meet some of my fav Tiffany characters again. (I really do need to read the O.S again)
So, if you love to travel in the world of Tiffany Reisz's words, I really think you will like this book.
I love Tiffany Reisz. I read The Original Sinner series and I fell in love with it. It's completely another world and Tiffany gives amazing details of this world. I love the way her characters are very bold and wild, especially Nora. She is such a beautiful soul. and Mister S is a complete man.
Picture Perfect Cowboy is another beautiful story from Tiffany's pen. Simone and Jason are two people who were meant to be together. They meet accidentally, spend time and fall for each other hard and fast. Simone is bold and sweet at the same time. Jason is wild at heart and very loving and caring, too. They are a perfect couple.
The story is about how Jason accepts the dark side within him under Simone's guidance. But he gets scared of being rejected by his conservative family and has second thoughts. Eventually, he realizes Simone is his soulmate and runs back to her. It is a beautiful story. I love how Mister S consoles Simone's broken heart.
There is a small bonus in the book as well which is a nice surprise. I loved it!
Picture perfect Cowboy is a perfect mix of sweet and sexy. Tiffany Reisz has a way with her writing that captures you attention and doesn't let go. The flow of the book was perfect. Characters were easy to follow, no huge surprises in the story line. Overall a very good book.
I received a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.
I haven't read any of Tiffany Reisz's other books, but this was a good first! Interesting characters with good chemestry. Wanting to see how they resolved their differences kept me reading.
