Description
When her father’s will leaves control of the family ranch to Ryder Malone, the very same man who once broke her heart, Sierra Morgan is more than a little upset. The last time she saw Ryder, she shot his hat right off his head, earning herself a long, hard spanking on her bare bottom that left her sore yet helplessly, infuriatingly aroused, and she had hoped to never see him again.
Ryder has not gotten over Sierra, and this time, he isn’t going to let her run off without giving him a chance to tell her how he feels, even if that means lassoing her and tying her to a chair.
If she wants to inherit the ranch she loves, Sierra will have to work alongside Ryder for a year and convince him she is ready to run it. Though she plans to spend that year making his life a living hell, when she pushes the stern, handsome cowboy too far she soon ends up over his knee again. But this time, her body’s response to his dominance cannot be ignored, and when Ryder takes her in his arms and claims her thoroughly, Sierra is left in no doubt that she belongs to him.
Sierra is not used to doing as she is told, however, and when she is reckless with her safety, she quickly discovers that Ryder will not hesitate to punish her in ways that leave her cheeks blushing crimson and her bottom sore both inside and out. His stern, shameful correction merely increases her need for him, but once the ranch is finally hers, will she still want him by her side?

Starts off with tragedy, but ends with happiness. Definitely a fun listen. Great writing and the narration was done beautifully.

Taming His Cowgirl
By: Delta James
Narrated by: Jack Calihan
This is a great second chance romance, it is my first Delta James book and it will not be my last. I enjoyed her writing style, she created interesting storylines that were captivated me from start to end. Her characters are likable and nicely developed. Sierra loved Ryder most of her life, they were engaged to be married but when she sees him with his ex she jumps to conclusions and breaks up with him, not letting him explain things. Five years pass, she is busy running the ranch with her Dad when he falls ill and then passes away. Her father knew she shared the same love for the ranch as he had yet he wrote a stipulation in his will, leaving her the farm if she agrees to allow Ryder to be the executor. Ryder spent the last five years abroad working with horses in Europe, Sierra’s Dad paid him a visit found out what really happened and had a plan to help him win Sierra’s heart back. Sierra is a strong, independent woman, she does not want to have to answer to anyone, especially not Ryder. But she goes with the plan in hopes she will rid of him by the years end. Ryder has his own plan to get her back, he plans to be firm with her, dominate and spank into submission so she could see how much she still loves him. These two had great chemistry together, you could see when he started to break down her barriers and she started to submit. All this was nicely done, in the privacy of their home and for their eyes only. I liked how it all played out, there is never a dull moment in this book, lots of drama, angst, some twists and hot romance. Secondary characters are great, loved the storylines about saving those horses too. Kink is on the mild side, some punishment and spanking and D/s scenes, nothing hardcore. Delta James, thank you for this great story.
I listened to the Audible edition, Jack Calihan is a wonderful narrator and voice performer. He brings these characters to life, gives each their own voice and personality. He does a great job projecting the emotions of the characters as well as the drama of the story into his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧

Give me a good western romance and I am hooked. This is my first book by Delta James, and I loved it. Not only does it have a good story, but the passion meter is high and the choice of narrator spot on! We meet Sierra, who’s father has recently passed away. Figuring she would inherit the ranch after working it for several years, she is surprised to find control given to her ex-fiance Ryder. And their story continues. We get a great second chance romance, full of feistiness, spankings and chemistry. James has woven this story to be not only hot, but had some real life issues, like saving of wild horses. I love when an author includes something like this, it gives the story a realistic base as the couples search for their happiness. While at times I was frustrated with the amount of control Ryder wanted, I loved that Sierra gave up her spunky ways. It’s a fun listen and I am looking forward to book 2.
Now, with a book like this, narration is key, and the choice of Jack Calihan is perfect. He brings this story to life with his voice, full of alpha male in one breath and spunky female in the other. I enjoyed his pacing and he had me sucked into the storyline.

Another success for Delta James!!! This is the story of Ryder and Sierra. There was a misunderstanding in their past, but between Sierra’s father and Ryder, it was going to get fixed! There are plenty of spankings and lots of love. I loved it!! Jack Calihan does a great job with the narration and brings the book to life. It was very intense to listen to.

The book was OK. Sierra was suppose to be an “Adult” a strong independent woman, but really all she was is a spoiled little rich girl who had temper tantrums when she didn’t get her way and unwilling to listen to anyone else. I liked Ryder, to me he should have just said good riddance, I think he deserved a better woman. Jack Calihan is what made this book, he does a great job with the narration and brings the characters to life.

So I know that this story was supposed to be a super sexy second chance romance. However I found it a bit ridiculous. Rather than enjoying the sexiness that Delta James was going for I was giggling at the situations and shenanigans. While, in general, I like spankings (spanking scenes) these bordered on too much force and not enough aftercare. Overall I giggled at this book more than I probably should have which is why it’s four stars rather than lower. I was definitely entertained, just probably not the way the author was intending.
I received this audiobook from Audiobook Obsessions. This is my hones and voluntary review.

I requested and received this audiobook from ” Audiobooks Unleashed” and I I voluntarily leave this review. Taming His Cowgirl by Delta James is Ryder and Sierras story five years before She thought he had cheated on her and she walked away without hearing him out now her daddy passes and they reconnect . This second chance romance has its good ,bad, and funny. I Sierras character is really likeable but Ryder is the character you love to hate. This story has domestic discipline in it. Its a good story and good listen and its narratored nicely
