Review: Excellent Follow up to Chloe's Double Draw!
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is book two in the Kings Bluff, Wyoming series by Fiona Archer. If you follow my reviews, you know I loved book one, Chloe’s Double Draw (If you don’t, what are you CRAZY???), it had one of my all time favorite quotes in it. Will I find and equally awesome quote in this book? Will it meet the high expectations set in book one? You’ll have to read on to find out! HSL can be read as a stand alone, Reagan and her men, Mike and Quinn are all introduced in the first book, but there is nothing that you can’t pick up by jumping right into this book.I’m not going to bore you with rehashing the synopsis of the book you can read it on Amazon, I hate a book report review! This is a book that explores both a BDSM relationship, as well as a menage relationship. Also, where the heck are all these towns with the hot Doms roaming around everywhere? I’m just sayin’!!The story also touches on several other issues like Mike and Quinn’s past in the military and them finding their way back into a normal routine. Quinn has a different set of issues to overcome. Reagan has lived in King’s Bluff her entire life, and she is living in the shadow of a mother that was known for abandoning her. She struggles with a weight issue, and in turn has low self esteem. What Fiona Archer does with this story is so moving, that it almost brought tears to my eyes. I really wish more authors would touch on this, rather than give us perfect female characters.Another thing that I loved about this book, and I often struggle with in Menage romances , is that I the two male characters tend to blend together or they don’t really stand out for me. One guy tends to take the lead and the other will take a back seat and not really “do anything” for most of the story. But both of these guys were really strong characters, and they each had a great part to play in the storyline, and while it seemed like Quinn was the go to guy for a while, Mike really kind of stepped up and took the lead toward the end!Overall, this was an amazing book, and I totally loved it. Now.... For the quote!! Fiona is absolutely hilarious. There are several funny exchanges that are way to long to go into, but I have to share this one quote that had me giggling:“You’ve backed away from Reagan like she’s just confessed to being a fan of One Direction”I’m giving it five stars!
