This is the first book I have ever read by Bailey Bradford and it certainly will not be the last. That being said this is the second book in the Mossy Glenn Ranch series. Ropes and Dreams works well as a stand-alone. I have to admit that you will become wildly curious about the hot mess that is Will. I completely understand why that man got two men all for himself. He needs them. He is a mess. Will, Carlos, and Troy's stories can be found in Where There's a Will, and Chaps and Hope. See, Will is so entertaining he not only got two men, but he got two books.Drake is the cook at Mossy Glen Ranch. He has recently sworn off men and sex. He plans to give all his love to his sweet puppy buddy and utilize his hand for his other needs. Drake has come to the realization that his is a jerk magnet. He has been into many relationships with selfish bastards. When readers meet Drake he really is in a bad place. You just want to give him more puppies and tell him everything will be alright. Puppy breath makes everything okay.Who needs puppy breath when you can have the man in uniform that sees far more into what you need than you ever realize. That is exactly what Ian sees with Drake. Drakes need to submit calls to Ian's dominant. Ian won't have an easy go ahead of him. He'll have to introduce Drake into a very new lifestyle while showing him that he is still desirable and very much wanted. Ian is getting himself into something very new too though. Ian has always just been into the sex or the scene. He now finds himself fully invested into a relationship with Drake.I'm always amazed at the little things I learn while reading male male romance. I live under a rock and I'm a heterosexual married woman. There is a lot of new stuff to be found in male male romance books when you are not a man who is in a relationship with a man. The first one I ever read enlightened me that two men can have sex in the missionary position. That was news to me. Ropes and Dreams brought something a little more serious to the table. Drake has had something extremely scary brought to his attention. It is affecting him big time, as it should. I just didn't know that there some people out there that still believe THAT to be a gay man thing. I live under a rock and know that is not the case. I did like how Ian handled the whole situation.book provided by the publisher for the purpose of an honest review
