I really loved and enjoyed this one. I was hooked right away and couldn't get enough of the story. Cant wait to read more.
Picture Perfect Cowboy is a semi-standalone novel that attaches itself to the Original Sinners series by incorporating some of the characters and the kinky theme. As an erotic novel, it has a lot of steamy action, which is always well written by Ms Reisz. However, I am a huge fan of the OS because it provided the erotic content combined with mental and literary satisfaction - an experience unparalleled in the often painfully poor erotic literature. PPC is well written, but it did not deliver that mental and literary satisfaction as the other books in the OS series to me. It was nice to meet some of the old characters, but they appeared as token offerings rather than meaningful contributors. Oddly, if the book was completely stand-alone, I probably would have enjoyed it more, as my expectations wouldn't have been so high. However, the previous semi-standalone, The Chateue, delivered the much anticipated OS-style, and umphed the mental/psychological offering when I thought that would not be possible, so this book could have worked as well... but I just feel it didn't, not as much as the others.
My main issue with the PPC was the super simplistic basic plot - **SPOILERS**
....boy and girl meet, they hit it off, there's some baggage from the past that almost tears them apart, and then the next day they suddenly overcome 29 years of ingrained prejudice and expectations, and have their happily ever after. I personally would have preferred if the conflict and subsequent resolution would have been a little more developed - it was literally two days, there, bumm, done. I would have preferred a bit more of the tortured soul development, good old OS style.
Would I recommend the book? Hell yes. It is a well written kinky piece, and offers a nice escape for a few hours (it's a read-in-a-day book). Just maybe don't expact it to be the same as the previous OS books, and all is good.
I found the overall experience of reading this book to be enjoyable, with both plot and character elements that unfolded nicely and with forward momentum. While not the best book I have ever read, I would pass this title along to other readers and librarians.
Picture Perfect Cowboy is Original Sinners series adjacent. It was entertaining but not as edgy as the series mentioned. The story revolves around a Dominant/submissive relationship, and Ms Reisz treats the lifestyle respectfully. The novel stands alone. The primary couple are engaging, and their story is entertaining. Picture perfect Cowboy is a quick, sexy read.
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.
Jason a former bull rider and now a horse rancher got stuck filling in for his friend to pose nude in a charity calendar he was embarrassed beyond belief. Simone is the pink haired photographer that is doing the photo in a room at the library and even though she is as different as Jason has ever seen they strike up a conversation and find they have the same interests. Jason was raised in a very strict home and moving to Kentucky on his own was a big deal for him but Simone with her pink hair and different personality may just give his family a heart attack. This story focuses on following your dreams and being true to yourself and Simone tries to help Jason with that and learning a few things on her own.
I wish I hadn't been so backlogged and could have gotten to this book earlier! As expected, Tiffany Reisz tells an exception, steamy story with such skill and emotion. Absolutely fab!
I am sorry I put this one off for so long because it was so good! I was not a fan of the first book in this series and in fact, I never finished it. When I requested this, I didn't realize it was that same Original Sinners series, I just went by author. I am a big fan of Tiffany Reisz's standalones so I was excited to read what I thought was another standalone.
My confusion aside, I really loved this book. I thought it dealt with a hard to discuss subject in a beautiful way. There was a lot of education in the story about BDSM and the stigma around it being perverted or dirty. Simone provided Jason with enough safety and care that he was able to become his true self and learn how to not feel "wrong" or "demented." I think his struggles with his sister were especially well written as the judgement from his sister poured off the pages but Simone once again reinforced that it was no one's business and they were still humans.
I found the book to be a nice mix of humor, kink and romance. It is definitely a hot one and not for everyone but I really enjoyed it.
I was so happy to receive this one from Netgalley. This story is part of the Original Sinners series but can also be read as a standalone. Which made me very happy because I haven't read the Chateau yet. Tiffany Reisz did it once again I almost cried when I finished this one. I was so in love with this story I didn't want it to end. If your not into a bdsm or a woman getting whipped this is not for you.
I loved Simone spunk. She knew who she was and loved every bit of herself. I love how she had pink hair. Jason is a retired bull rider. He was raised that women were gifts the world. Not for you to spank them. He hated himself for having the fantasies he had. Very hot and heavy.
I'm hoping there is a story about Jason friend Luke. Loved this book will definitely reread it again.
Tiffany knows how to write some steamy scenes and her humour is the stuff that dreams are made of. She has a way of making kickass hero/heroines.
Jason "Still" Waters' life looks perfect from the outside—money, fame, and the words "World Champion Bull-Rider" after his name. But Jason has a secret, one he never planned on telling anybody...until he meets Simone. She's the kinky girl of his dreams...and his conservative family's worst nightmare.
This was a fun and spicy read. I liked the change-up since most cowboy books keep it pretty vanilla. I liked both main characters. I recommend.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book
A ridiculously sweet and sexy story from the Original Sinners world. Jason and Simone's chemistry fairly sizzles right off the page. An absolute must read for fans of Tiffany Reisz.
This was my first ever Tiffany Reisz book and it won’t be my last. Picture Perfect Cowboy was sexy and stunning and shocking. I loved ever second of it from the moment Jason and Simone meet to the closing pages. I finished this and immediately downloaded The Siren to see where it all begin.
Picture Perfect Cowboy by Tiffany Reisz is a small novel that provides a huge entertainment. I would not have picked this one out to read based on the cover but the author is one of my favorites and Tiffany Reisz does not disappoint. Picture Perfect Cowboy is a tale that orbits the world of The Original Sinners series.
Jason Waters is a world famous Champion Bull-Rider, now retired and raising horses on his own ranch. Jason grew up in a strict home and was taught by his father what a man should be and how to take care of the women in his life. But Jason has other thoughts, secret passions he has been afraid to let loose.
That is until the punk hairdo photographer Simone crosses his path. Simone has a life of her own that she shares with a very select few. Simone is a submissive and she can sense the dominate desires that Jason has. But can she unleash the master within him and if she does, can he ever make the people that love him understand who he is?
What makes the writings of Tiffany Reisz so thrilling and exciting is not the sex. Even though there is plenty of that and she writes it so very well. No what makes her books worth grabbing off the shelves is the humanity in them. The emotions. The desire and fear and love. The need for acceptance and the self honesty to not want to change.
Tiffany Reisz's characters live their live without apology. They want acceptance but they have the integrity to not compromise for it.
Picture Perfect Cowboy is a terrific story and will thrill fans of the author's body of work.
Tiffany Reisz does not disappoint. I enjoy her writing very much and will read anything by her. I have said this many time and will say it with every book of hers I read.
I wasn't sure if I was going to like the cowboy aspect of this one but it didn't bother me at all I enjoyed the storyline and the little glimpses we got of Søren, even though it will never be enough.
Are you looking for a HOT, HOT, HOT read? You will not go wrong with this book.
An intense emotional and SEXY storyline that grabs you right from the start keeping you engrossed and on edge throughout the whole book!
There was a playful tone to the BDSM, which I admit to reading in terms of understanding it. Fast past and entertaining and who doesn't love a sexy cowboy. It's my first time reading this author.
Picture Perfect Cowboy felt more like a novella than a full-length novel despite being over 200 pages. Of all the Original Sinners books I've read, this is probably my least favorite as I found it rushed and the relationship a little too unbelievable.
Picture Perfect Cowboy was a pleasant surprise. I truly enjoyed the spicy turn of events. Read if you enjoy sexy and steamy romance!
I received a free, advance copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.
I'm a little mad at myself for not reading Picture Perfect Cowboy earlier and a little happy that I saved for now. Does that even make sense? Probably not? I guess it's that I enjoyed it so much that I wish I could've been a cheerleader for when it originally released but I really needed this sexy, sweet read in this moment, so I'm glad it was there for me to read.
The beauty of this novella is that if you've never read anything by Tiffany Reisz, this is not only a really fun introduction to her writing but it's written so that you don't need to know any of her previous works to enjoy the characters featured here (though if you do, it's an added layer of fun). So if you're down for a sexy read featuring a sweet but conflicted cowboy and a confident and sweet photographer, this is definitely the read for you.
As expected from Tiffany Reisz, still consistent with her touch in hot and kinkiness. From The Original Sinners Series universe, this story is about Simone met the cowboy of her wet dreams. I'm just glad they found each other and I adore Simone so much with her patient and sass. Jason is quite a hard man to understand. He grown up in a conventional household and conflicted with his kink. Overall, they're perfect for each other.
