At my core, I am a cowgirl that happens to love kink. So when I heard that my girl Tiffany was coming out with a book where the leading man was a cowboy you better bet I jumped on that ASAP.
This book has everything you could want in it—interesting plot, witty banter, and a cowboy that’s learning his way around kink. Watching him experience the opportunity to live out his fantasies while fighting against his ingrained sense of what’s “right”—aka treating women like fine china—was anosoutrly realistic and a real treasure to read.
You can’t go wrong with Reisz if you love kink and sassy women. Add in a hot cowboy and some horses? This book has the makings to be one that I’ll read over and over again.
Jason is roped into taking his friends place to pose for a sexy calendar and it's re-thinking his agreement to the whole thing until he gets to the photoshoot location and meets Simone. What the pretty lady with pink hair confides in him makes his head spin and before he even knows what he's doing, he asks her to help him.
Simone is a pretty lady with pink hair, a photographer and a professional submissive. She's taking pictures for a sexy calendar when she meets Jason. The hot cowboy is more than meet the eye but he's hiding even from himself because of his upbringing. She accepts to help him and so their journey begins.
I have not read the Original Sinner Series *holds her hands up* Don't shoot me. This is my first book by Tifanny Reisz and I could not have picked better. Or maybe I could but I can't complain because since the book started I was hooked, lined and sinking.
The world that these two characters created was beautiful. Simone painted a realistic picture and helped Jason achieve the life that he wanted to live without making it seem dirty in the wrong way. Also, she helped to remember to all of us reading this book, some things that for some people could look like repeat information but not everyone that picks this book will do so for the BDSM aspect and I, for one, think the author did a great job at explaining the roles in the relationship.
Now that I'm done with this story I need to go back and read the Original Sinner because if this was a taste of Tiffany's writing, I can't wait to get more. I would put her around Cherise Sinclair and P. Nelson in my list of BDSM author and that's pretty high.
I would recommend this book to those that love a good romance but also the beginnings of a Dom that needs a little guidance from his submissive to get where he needs to be in his head, to be completely what she needs.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book provided by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are my own.
It was hard to read this book and not continue to compare it to the Original Sinners, but once I did the story really took off. Without expecting the same passion or emotion, I was able to enjoy this more tame version of Mrs. Reisz's romance writing. It had a little bit of everything from romance to a little mystery and the perfect hint of drama.
Every time I go into the original sinners world, I get completely consumed by them and their kinky lifestyles. This was no exception. And I think it was probably the first time in the series we see someone being brought into the life this easily, someone who was not in pain but instead just on the outskirts, someone who would've never approached the club for help, and help he did get. Now I have to say that this was such a hot story, Jason and Simone were a great mix of kink and fun. I think that for sure they have their place in the Original Sinners universe, and I really liked getting to know them.
I haven’t read a book in so long that was so full of steam! Tiffany Reisz sure does know how to melt the pages.
Jason is a sexy cowboy who is retired from professional bull riding. When he is asked to pose for a charity calendar he wasn’t expecting to meet Simone. She doesn’t care what anyone thinks about her. The chemistry between these two is crazy. Jason has always wanted to be a dominant, has he found the perfect woman who will let him?
If you are looking for a hot read this is for you.
This one is all kinds of hot and kinky. Not too bad of a quick story for a quiet afternoon. If you are a Tiffany Reisz fan, read this one but keep in mine it is more of a softer side.
I DNF'd this book. It just felt rushed and didn't make much sense to me. Very disappointed. Normally I find her books much better than this.
I'm totally new to the Original Sinners series but this standalone opened my eyes to how much kinky fun I've missed. I loved how Simone and Jason turned certain tropes upside down. Jason may be the dominant cowboy but he needs professional submissive Simone to show him the ropes (pun intended). Along with lots of smokin' hot sex scenes, there was plenty of frank discussion and patience and acceptance - the alternate title could have been, "BDSM for Hot Beginners".
Most of all, the message of acceptance rang through beautifully. Jason has in many ways walled himself off to deny his sexual desires and Simone sweetly and calmly (with some sass) teaches him to accept that they don't make him a monster.
“You,” she said, poking him in the chest, “are not screwed up just because you have kinky thoughts. I am not screwed up, either. You have to get that stupid idea out of your head. It’s an insult to me, my friends, my world…and an insult to you.”
In many ways, Simone and Jason should have never found each other. That they do (she photographs him for a charity calendar) despite all the odds - she's from New York and he's a champion bull rider from the country - makes them an unlikely match. I didn't have a problem with the insta-lust or insta-love because they openly acknowledged it.
“Do sane women fall in love with random cowboys after spending only four days with them?” Simone asked Nora. She waited. A few seconds later a reply appeared.
“Depends on the cowboy,” Nora said.
“He trussed me up in a corset last night and fucked me—on camera.”
“Marry him,” Nora replied.
Jason has a lot of thinking and growing and acting to do and it was fantastic to watch him realize it. My only quibble is that I wish there was a final scene between him and his sister and family because I truly believe Simone - this funny, honest, open woman - deserved a public declaration.
I may be late to the Original Sinners series but like Jason, it's never too late to learn and catch up.

Who doesn’t love a story with a mouth watering cowboy, just a bit too much kink for me. But for those who enjoy that plot point, this is the perfect, and quick read.

***I received an ebook copy from the author at no charge***
This book is part of the Original Sinners series (one of my favorite series of all time). It’s a bit of a departure though, because while the other books are pretty hard core and edgy, this one was on the soft and sweet side.
It’s still hot as sin though.
Jason is a good old boy. He’s a cowboy, knows how to work the southern charm, and has always played the role of the good guy. He’s got a squeaky-clean reputation and a smile that could charm the undies off any woman. Simone is a professional sub who also happens to be a photographer. She heads to Kentucky to photograph Jason for a calendar and that’s when all the kinky, delicious fun starts.
Jason is all kinds of naughty, and I completely loved him. He has all these fantasies he wants to try out and he’s spent his life harboring them instead of acting on them. Simone brings out the kinky side of him and once it’s out … holy wow. He’s a total sweetheart though and a good man—a gentleman in the field and a freak in the bedroom.
I love Simone. She’s wild and free and beautiful and has this vivacious personality. It was fun to see her get a standalone book, especially with this sexy cowboy.
This book is sweet and romantic, but don’t be fooled by that. It’s crazy hot and as always, Tiffany Reisz writes the most intense and sexy bedroom scenes I’ve ever read. Jason and Simone have all kinds of fun together, both in and out of the bedroom.
I liked the storyline in this one too! There’s a smidge of angst in it. I loved getting to see my favorite characters from previous books (Søren and Nora make appearances). Most of all, I loved seeing Jason grow and flourish. This book chronicled his awakening.
Go out, get this book, and read it. If you're a fan of the Original Sinners, you definitely won't regret it!
Five juicy stars to this novel!
Jason Water’s agrees to do a photo shot for his friend since his friend is laid up in the hospital recovering from his latest injury from the rodeo. Jason is just glad he was able to retire and is glad to do the calendar because it is for charity. When he arrives he is first surprised by the photographer’s hair, then her tattoos. Simone Levine realizes that he was not told the he would be posing nude, but she would make sure that the pictures would be done tastefully since it is for charity. Also he does a lot of work with children clubs and organizations and he does not want anything to get out with him actually nude. After she makes him feel comfortable and the pictures are taken he invites her out to his ranch if she has time so they could finish their discussion from earlier. At the ranch you discover her other job as a paid submissive. You also find out that he was raised very strict in a way that you do not raise a hand to a women or your voice. When he was younger if he raised his voice to his sister his father would take him out behind the barn and tan his back side. Now hearing this and some other things Simone wants to help him and the first night goes slow. The author takes you through really what it would be like for a man who was raised that way and how difficult it would be to strike a women. You as a reader are taken in by both Simone and Jason by not only what happens inside of the hose but also outside and how he works with the horses and the other programs he does for children. He is blown away by the pictures she takes, and together you are routing for them until she has to leave to go back to New York. There are many sexual moments in this books and some hot scenes, but everything works together and goes with the story. The leads you the reader wanting them to get back together somehow. Read this very good book to see if that can happen or not?
Picture Perfect Cowboy - Tiffany Reisz
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A seriously sweet, yet sinful sexy short story, with guest appearances by Soren and Nora make this a fun adventure.
Jason “Still” Waters, a retired professional bull rider and world champion must fulfil a promise and appear nude in a charity calendar but when he meets the gorgeous pink haired photographer, Simone Levine, the shy cowboy finds an instant connection with the flirty New Yorker, but also connects on a whole other level.
So one didn’t travel to Kentucky to meet the cowboy of her dreams but the shy and ever so polite Jason might just be the special master she’s been looking for.
A great story of understanding and self worth. Jason’s story is touching but also has a solid message of acceptance and understanding. The way that Simone was able to help Jason come to terms with his real self was beautifully handled by Tiffany Reisz and the added bonus of an appearance by my two favourite characters, Mistress Nora and Master Soren just adds another layer of awesome. Definitely loved this one.
Picture Perfect Cowboy is a romance story with lashings (no pun intended) of kink, sass and charm - in other words, typical Tiffany Reisz. It's set in the Original Sinners world with some crossover characters in a minor way, but works perfectly well as a standalone. It won't matter in the least if you haven't read any of the other books.
It tells the story of cowboy Jason "Still" Waters and photographer Simone. Their paths cross when he stands in for a friend for a charity calendar photo shoot, and the fireworks start almost instantly. They're both fantastic characters and their banter is amusing and cute all at once. Their mutual attraction sizzles, and when it becomes clear their sexual tastes are compatible, well, let's just say things hot up. I don't want to give any spoilers, but suffice to say this is a great story. I really enjoyed reading about both characters, who are well fleshed out, and quickly found myself rooting for them. Reisz seems to have this amazing skill of writing tales which are sizzling hot and yet sweetly charming, and this is no exception. This book had me smiling just as much as it did fanning myself. I highly recommend it to fans of scorching romance with kink.
We head back to Kentucky for this story. Jason is a retired bull rider living the quiet life, but he always just felt a bit off. Then he gets roped (pun intended) into a photo shoot, only problem is it's nude! When the photographer, Simone, puts all of Jason's fears to rest, she awakens a deep desire as well. Everything is very fast paced from there. And bonus we get to see Nora and Soren, so definitely worth the trip back into their world.
I wasn't a big fan of this book - it just didn't seem like past Reisz book. I finished it but the plot left a lot to be desired for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed this erotic romance which opened my eyes to kink a bit more, it's not something I'm into, but I'm always open to learning about others. Jason and Simone were a great couple and I enjoyed the way Simone helped Jason learn and open up to what he wanted and needed from a sexual partner and how she helped him to realise it wasn't bad to have those desires so long as he had a willing partner, it didn't hurt that the sex scenes were pretty hot. This is my first in this series and I'll be searching out the previous books.
Thanks to NetGalley and 8th Circle Press for a copy in return for an honest review.
Perfect story by Tiffany. We get sweat glimpse of Nora and Soren! Discovering what you like isn't bad as you were made to believe it was is the basic theme of the boo and I really loved how the Hero could find how to leave his predicament and go after his happiness. As always, Tiffany Reisz does not disappoint!
Tiffany Reisz never disappoints. If you’re a fan of her Original Sinners series (and even if you’re not) you will enjoy this book. Sweet cowboy with a stifled wild side meets free spirited pink haired sub who quickly becomes determined to help him acknowledge and accept his deepest desires.
Think of this as boy meets girl with a twist.
;)
~ Getting to know the man behind the picture ~
This was a sweet awakening of suppressed erotic desires by a through-and-through cowboy at the hands of a big-city submissive girl, who begin a slow-burn romance as they feel their way together, discovering what works for them, despite the way Jason was brought up. Simone’s character stayed true to herself and remained very real throughout the story. Absolutely loved the appearances by the (very familiar to me) Master S and his submissive, who gave guidance, support, and love when needed. Another great story from this author!
Picture Perfect Cowboy was a good read, but I'd not call it 'perfect'.
Being a fan of Reisz' writing, I always know there will be some message delivered. However, this felt more preachy to me than even what I expected. I'm all for a subtle delivery of a good life lesson but I need it to be subtle enough to no outweigh the budding romance. Picture Perfect Cowboy failed a bit on that end, for me.
I felt too wrapped up in the family politics and the great kinky sex (they were great scenes) and had no real emotional connection to the romance or even the characters, all that much. I liked Simone, I thought Jason had great potential as a hero, but I needed more.
While the lust gave me great feels, it turned too quickly to love and without that aforementioned connection, I just didn't really believe it.
All that being said, I still adore Reisz' writing, the story is still utterly intriguing and I was never bored. I just wasn't thoroughly in love, either.
