Buckled

Blisteringly hot

I do so love an interconnected series - but I do so hate waiting between installments. The best things about such a series by Pam is that a. she never makes us wait long, and b. they are well and truly worth it.
After reading Knotted, I was more than a little curious about Jake’s seemingly fun twin, Jarret. But as is often the case with these things, Jarret has a delicious dark side - not least because of his and Jake’s two-man mission to rid the world of threats to Conor. No, the dark side I’m referring to is more in line with what he does in the bedroom.
Enter Maybe Quinn. Hurt, lost and looking for answers. What she gets is love in the most unlikely place and a scorching hot education about herself in the process.
If you’ve read Knotted - and you should before you try Buckled, trust me - then you know there’s a lot more to these books than sexy cowboys and the women who bring them to their knees. The story takes us further into the strife at the ranch, answers some of our burning questions while posing still more, and then takes a few jagged turns into angsty, delicious heartache.
Pam’s writing is evocative and her characters are well explored and genuine. I can very much picture such a ranch existing in East-Nowhere, USA. And boy, do I wish I could visit!
We are so close to Lorne’s story now, I can almost taste it. I’m imagining a pretty explosive conclusion to this modern, twisty take on cowboys and I can’t wait!
