Dillon's Claim is the second book in the Dumen Ranch Series by Callie Croix.We first meet Dillon in book one, Deacon's Touch. I really like the timeline for this series. Book two takes place the same time as book one. Both revolve around a bachelorette weekend at the Dumen Ranch. The books tell the stories of what took place with different couples that were there. This is a new take on a series for me and I loved it.Dillon is the oldest of the Dumen boys who are running the ranch. He is former Air Force Special Ops and is used to being in control of every aspect of his life, especially in the bedroom.Charissa and Dillon were friends who let the friendship line dissolve and shared some steamy kisses a year ago. She knew what kind of a lover he was and knew she couldn't get involved with a dominant man again. She had a horrible experience in the past and even though her body knows what it wants in the bedroom her mind won't let her except it. She leaves her fantasies and desires behind and skips town without as much as a goodbye.She knows heading into the weekend at the ranch she is going to have to face Dillon again.Dillon is such a caring, sensitive, gentle guy. I loved their story. I loved that Dillon not only showed her but helped her understand that a BDSM relationship is not one sided but an exchange of power. I loved the way he lets her know that what she craves in the bedroom is normal, and nothing to be ashamed of. This book is filled with passion and steamy sex, but it also tells a beautiful story of two people who have to overcome a lotof obstacles in order to get their HEA.This is a short read, but don't let that discourage you. A good author has the ability to tell a complete story with lots of emotion and chemistry in a short format. That is exactly what we get with Ms. Croix. I can't wait to see what else she has planned for the rest of the brothers at the Dumen Ranch.
