Shoulda Been A Cowboy by Lorelei James

Joy, Heartache, and Pain. If you thought the other books in the series were good, you haven't yet been on a more emotional ride.

"The bigger they are, the harder they fall—in love.

Soldier Cameron McKay has found his niche, and it ain’t ropin’ steers and wearin’ spurs. His deputy sheriff job, plus battle injuries that ended his military career, keep him right where he wants to be: Off the ranch and away from his family’s pity. His darkest war memories are on lockdown, leaving him skeptical he’ll ever find a woman who wants a man who’s less than whole.

Domini Katzinski has had to control every aspect of her life since age eleven, when she was orphaned in the Ukraine. Watching others’ relationships crumble has convinced her to focus on the short-term and find a take-charge man to whom she can relinquish total sexual control. Cam fits the bill: gorgeous, with a brooding vulnerability no one else seems to see. Plus, he has his own handcuffs.

Once Cam gets over his surprise that sweet, shy Domini wants to be dominated, he is back to issuing orders. Their passion is as hot as a rocket-propelled grenade—and if Domini has her way, it’s a one-shot deal. Cam wants more, and launches a full-out sensual assault…until tragedy strikes, forcing him to change tactics as he tries to keep past demons from blowing their future together all to hell… "

For starters this story made me emotional, yes I did end up loosing some tears. Cam and Domini were the perfect couple. Both in love with each other since the first time they met. They not only shared a few erotic moments, they end up sharing love, togetherness, and most of all passion for what they could be and would be for each other. I love how they were brought together and how they just could not get enough of each other.

This was for sure one of my favorites in the series. I was pulled into the way that being together wasn't so easy and learning to trust each other was a big step. I loved it was expressed how quickly a surly kid can put a strain on a relationship and how love, honesty and patience can get you through the next obstacle.

All I know for sure is that the McKay men sure know how to claim their women. The series is heating up so on the next McKay family journey with Keely in All Jacked Up.
