This is the sequel to Domination Plantation and Marcy Mahoney is intent on opening a BDSM club. She's well versed in the sexual arts and decides to offer a spectrum of experiences. To that end, she places an advertisement for men interested offering such services and who can handle the duties involved in running a ranch. Cort, Landon, Kemper and Mason find Marcy's offer intriguing a great place to escape from the parties looking for them. However, none of them expected to find more than a shelter during a storm but they each find something much better!

This story was enjoyable but had some flaws. The characters were insufficiently developed at the beginning. It took me a couple of attempts to adequately engage in the story. However, a bit of perseverance paid off greatly. Initially, the characters were very grating and irritating, particularly Marcy. I love confident, self-assured women but Marcy was very unsympathetic. Luckily, after getting past the first couple of chapters and the characters' horrible first impressions, the characters become much more personable and likeable. Marcy's personality did not change very much but it appeared that the softened by the men, Colt, Landon, Kemper, and Mason. Ms. Blaine created a bounty of manly goodness. Each of the men were different and complimentary to each other. The suspense and action kept the story alive and provided a better plot than the launching of a "dude" ranch. The mysterious nature and pasts of the men were much more interesting than the open book-open legs personality of Marcy. I could not put the book down as I wanted to know why they were being followed and by whom. That aspect of the story was really good and saved the story in my opinion. I never connected with Marcy and I could not figure out what the men saw in her beyond lust. I would recommend this book if you are looking for hot, sensual episodes but if you are looking for a romantic story, I would suggest you find something else.
