Editorial Reviews

Review

"Dryden's romances are always whip-smart and playfully sexy, and her Giddyup series about kinky cowboys and a struggling dude ranch is no exception. Ride 'Em is fun and scorching-hot. As always, she grounds her Doms and subs in a realistic world where bills need to be paid, cars break down at inconvenient times and scenes don't always go as planned, but thanks to good friends and love, there is always a happily ever after." --RT Book Reviews

About the Author

When not writing erotic romance and steampunk or Delphine edits other peoples' books, reads voraciously, and spends far too much time on the computer. She is fortunate enough to have two absurdly precocious children who have mostly learned not to distract her while she's working. 

A native Texan, Del currently resides near Houston. But she dreams of moving back to the San Francisco Bay area one day, where there are fewer alligators and the temperature most of the year isn't quite so much like the surface of the sun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ride Em
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016
Ride 'Em is my first book that combines a cowboy and BDSM and I loved it!! It's also the first book I've read by Delphine Dryden and it won't be my last!

Logan purchased his grandparents ranch and he decided to give up his job to do this. He will once again, open it up for guest to experience the cowboy way of life.

Mindy is going home to hopefully talk Logan into leasing the mineral rights to his newly acquired property. His parents and grandparents weren't interested and he did know her in high school...she tutored him. Mindy is trying to avoid being the next one that gets the axe from her step dad's business. She's got to get this contract so he'll be impressed with her. He doesn't care that everyone so far has refused to lease it to him...he only cares that Logan is new the owner.

Mindy arrives at the ranch under the pretense that she's on vacation and not that she's there on business. She sees a gorgeous cowboy and decides to enjoy the view, when she's caught ogling him!! Of all the cowboys, it's Logan! She hasn't seen him since he was a nerd with braces in high school and lord knows she had no idea he was a cowboy....WOW he grew up nicely!! Being here...she really missed having a Dom and her kink. She catches Robert calling Logan Sir...could he be a Dom?

Logan is shocked that Mindy is here..at his ranch! She's gorgeous and still makes his heart skip beats, also a few things south of belt. He catches a sub movement from her but puts the thought aside because no one in this area has any kink (other than his employee Robert). Or do they? He would love to do things to her that he probably shouldn't, but when he finds out she lied as to why she's here, can he put his wants aside?

This was a great book! Loved the characters! Loved the story, in general! Very different and HOT!! I look forward to reading more by Delphine Dryden!

I don't know how this book has 4.5 stars, this is the biggest piece of garbage I have ever wasted my time reading. I could have probably looked over the fact that it's written poorly if the sex scenes were hot, but they weren't and there are only TWO in the entire book. Absolute crap.

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2017
Mindy booked a week's holiday on a ranch in her hometown for one reason only: to convince Logan, a guy she went to school with, to sell the ranch mineral rights to her stepfather's company. She wants her stepfather to see that she is good at her job and he's not exactly giving her many other chances to prove herself. Logan is thrilled to have his childhood crush staying with them and the attraction he feels hasn't been dulled by the years they've spent apart. He's not happy when he finds out why she came though and sets out to teach her a lesson for lying to him. As Logan ties her up in knots Mindy starts to realise that she's had her priorities all wrong but can she prove to Logan that she's now on his side when her stepfather comes to town and starts throwing his weight around?.

I was a bit worried that Mindy's secret would be hanging over their heads for most of the book so I was relieved she was found out pretty much immediately and that she'd already decided she'd made a mistake in trying to trick Logan. She never lies to him and she is quick to apologise and try to make amends which I appreciated. Mindy spent so long desperately trying to get away from her small hometown and make a new life for herself in Dallas that she's shocked by how right it feels being back in Bolero. Then when she realises that Logan is also into the kink scene things just fit together but she's still scared to make the leap.

Logan is a hardworking guy who just wants to make a success of his family's ranch. It's been hard work starting the business and he's up to his eyes in debt but he's determined to turn a profit and get the bank off his back. He always had a crush on Mindy but while he was a geeky teenager she was the homecoming queen and he never stood a chance. Now she's back but he's worried about scaring her off with his kinky side. When he realises she's a sub and shares all the same kinks as him he knows they could have something special but with her stepfather determined to destroy his land it's hard to trust that Mindy isn't still secretly working against him.

Cowboys and BDSM, who knew that would be such a recipe for success? Well actually when you think about it kinky cowboys seems like a bit of a no brainer, I mean who wouldn't want to read a series ? I'd forgotten how much I enjoy Delphine Dryden's writing, I loved her geeky hero Ivan in The Theory of Attraction and she's proved she's just as good at creating alpha cowboys with Logan. Ride 'Em was everything I'd hoped for, it had some very sweet and funny moments, a great cast of side characters, a believable romance and some hot as hell kink. Logan's brother Ethan is up next and since he's a rope expert I have very high hopes for his story too and I can't wait to continue this series.
