Roped by Ann Jacobs- Returning from the war, his body wounded, his soul hurting, Jared McTavish faces a very different life. A sexual Dominant, doubts about his ability now to satisfy any submissive plague him.
Until Ninia. The face of an angel and the body of a centerfold, she's about as unsubmissive as any woman he's known. A nurse in the Cheyenne VA hospital where Jared is sent, Ninia is tough, in control. Until Jared catches her in an unguarded moment and see a vulnerable, softer side. It fires his blood with a need to find out more.
Accepting an invitation to a local dungeon, the sexual Dominant in Jared rears back to full potency when he sees Ninia, submissively awaiting his pleasure, his dominance. Now he knows what he wants. And he's about to prove to Ninia he's man enough to take it.

Jared and Ninia healed each other. For a Dom, Jared is gentle and caring. Ninia helps Jared get is confidence back.

Hitched by Ann Jacobs- Even bad boys want to settle down sometime...
All it takes is the right woman, and a guy is toast. Brad McTavish knows it. He's known it since the day Keely, the sexy little redhead who makes his hands itch and his c**k burn, walked into Roped and Lassoed, Brad's BDSM club, looking for a Dom to master her. Now he's ready to put a lid on his wild ways and settle down to some full-on, loving submission from his favourite slave.
But fears from her past haunt Keely. She's having none of it. Especially with Brad. However, as a three-day blizzard hits, locking them up together to wait out the storm, Keely's about to find out there's more to this bad-boy Dom than meets the eye.

Since Brad can't change his past and stop the gossip he has to try and convince Keely that the there is more to him than meets the eye.

Lassoed by Ann Jacobs- A man will do a lot of things for love - Matt Rogers knows firsthand. A sexual Dominant playing the role of a submissive is the hardest role he's played, but if it means not losing the love of his life again...
Diana McTavish has long held his heart and soul. Now that her abusive ex-Master is history, Matt's back in her life - permanently - however she needs him. But submissive Diana's had enough of being bruised and battered. She's taking control. And if that means Matt suppressing his own needs and submitting to her domination - h*ll, he can do it.
As the sexual heat between them flares hot enough to burn, Diana relearns the most important lesson of Dominance and submission - trust. And this time, the switch is up to her.

I liked that Matt was willing to do anything to prove his love for Diana and fight her demons.

The three stories were wonderful. These stories had so much more to them than just sex. Each story showed the different ways the characters needed the BDSM lifestyle. These stories also emphasised the practice of safe sex. The one thing I am loving about this challenge is that I am stepping out of my reading comfort zone.
