Beth Williamson (1) (1967–)

I read this book in one go, it was so captivating. Each character is uniquely engineered to keep you guessing what they are going to next. Remy and Max are crazy hot and equally frustrating as a couple. The twins gave an interesting twist to the story. I would really be interested in having this book turn into a series because I would like to see what happens for Katie and the twins storywise. A truly enjoyable read.

I was in the bookstore the other day with a friend to pick up a quick read. As much as I love the ease of click and download, I rather enjoy a nightlight and a physically turning the page. We meandered over to the sale bin and she spots this beauty for $3.99 because she is well aware of my love of cowboys. Once I opened the page I immediately noticed that she dedicated this book to her dad, her hero. After reading the first five pages, I am now thoroughly confused by this book as well as her relationship with her father. By page 5, Alex, our heroine, is in a nightclub in the middle of the floor having doing the bump and grind witht with two bisexual men. Yeah, I know, but by page 8, she is at their place at the bottom of a- I- poke- him, he- pokes- you, pile up. This unlikely threesome seems to unleash something in Alex, because the remainder of the book by Beth Williamson is about Alex having Unbridled sex with that Connor cowboy fellow.

What I like about this book is that it is an easy read with an easy flow. You get a feeling of Connor’s hopes to balance his desire with what is right as a direct juxtaposition of Alex who just wants to feel. Williamson has a smooth writing voice that makes you understand that fevered need to connect with another person so that you almost can taste Alex’s desire to matter to someone. Each character that is introduced in her writing has a purpose and the book makes you want to read every single line and every single page. There is a raw sexual tension that every woman envisions when she thinks of a sexy hot cowboys in a big Stetson and too tight Wranglers. The scenes are steamy and frequent and the book has a happy ending.

What I did not like about this book was the common language. Understand, it is supposed to be part of the Penguin Romance collection, but seriously, a cock is something that walks across a farm-yard and a pussy is small animal. The character’s pain is rich and understandable but Alex’s inability to feel anything other than what is happening in her pants leaves you wanting more. As the story unfolds you get interested in the back story of why Alex ran away but then it is interrupted by her desire to stroke his yard fowl and clench it in her small animal. Notably there is almost a role reversal between the man and the woman, as Alex makes such bold and brazen moves on Connor that leaves him, as well as me, the reader, confused. The story was able to stand on its own merit and the sex scenes were a plus.

This book is recommended to horny women everywhere who like to name genitals after small animals and farm-yard fowl. It is a good read and a workable plot that makes you want to finish the book to see the resolution between the characters. I give this book three pens and a pencil. The pencil is for crossing through the words that just don’t match the story.
