What do a retired bull rider, turned horse trainer and a pink haired, city girl photographer have in common?  They live in the world of Tiffany Reisz.
After Jason meets Simone at a nude cowboy photoshoot he learns that Simone is the answer to the questions he has been wanting for almost his entire adult life. Riddled with thoughts of guilt and worry that he is not normal for his thoughts of kink Simone offer to help Jason on a road of self-discovery and learning.
I found that although I am not a fan of D/S stories, I found the story of Simone and Jason very well written.  The characters were developed nicely and Jason's fears of disappointing others was understandable.   Not only that but who can resist a hot cowboy?

4/5 stars
This book was provided to me by NetGalley for a fair and honest review.

I was given this ARC by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Jason is a retired world championship bull rider with a secret. When he meets Simone on a last minute photo shoot for a friend, he feels compelled to share his secret. To his surprise, not only is she into what he's been hiding, but she forces him to let go of his walls and be the man he has always wanted to be.

This isn't a book I would typically read, however, it kept me totally interested. I loved the story of Jason being scared and thinking he was a bad person, just to find out that he shared the same kinks as a ton of other people, and it didn't make it wrong. The writing was brilliant. I loved it.

I totally loved this book. This was my first story by the author even though i have heard of her other works, but after this i think i just may get on her bandwagon.
Jason has always tried to be what his parents wanted, but there is a little something hidden that once he meets Simone and she opens his eyes to what can be, this piece of him is discovered over a four day stay on his ranch. He opens up with her guidance and finds the piece of himself that he's been suppressing from fear.  

I loved Simone, she was open about herself and her pleasures, her belief that wanting to be dominant or submissive was not wrong, but something to be enjoyed was refreshing. I loved how she knew herself and was not willing to settle for less than she deserved. 

A fantastic read and I'm sure those who read the authors other works will love this just as much.

Who'd have thought a cowboy would fit so well into the Sinners series? Saying that, with the idiosyncratic mix of characters we've already met along the way, I guess anything goes but really, a cowboy! 

This cowboy, however, was just too decadent for words. Being a retired Bull-Rider, Jason is now living a quiet life in Kentucky and he has swapped bulls for horses. He thinks his life is just about perfect but still he's lonely. Having fled from his meddling and pious parents, he can pretty much now live life as he pleases but he's still not living a life that's true to himself. When he’s unexpectedly asked to stand in as “Mr November” on a charity calendar, the thought of naked images of himself are enough to give him nightmares and you can only guess what his family would think. Jason does, however, overcome his reservations and arrives at the library ready to bare all to the world, or at least the photographer, Simone. 

Simone is a pro-sub and a close friend of Nora, Soren, and Kingsley. When not working as a pro-sub, she's a photographer and because of her interest in kink, she’s more than comfortable working with naked models. Despite her confidence, however, Jason is clearly struggling with the task at hand but Simone manages to endear herself to him and before long the session is over. It’s upon leaving the session that Jason admits something to Simone that she already suspected and that is that Jason has an interest in her lifestyle, although this is something that he’s never acted upon, especially given his upbringing. When Jason invites Simone to his ranch, it’s on the clear understanding that she will help him overcome his fears which she does, and then some! 

It’s not long before Simone works her magic and Jason frees himself of his reservations. As the two bond, they start to develop feelings for one another but as they both live very different lives and practically worlds apart, can they really act on their feelings for one another?

I'd originally read this story via the Exposed anthology and I couldn't wait for more from the story. I was hoping for more than a final chapter to wrap up Jason and Simone's story though. That said, I could read and re-read this book as many times as I've read all of the others. Jason was incredibly sweet and charming and Simon added the spice that his life was clearly missing. As expected, their story also includes scenes with Nora and Soren which provides readers with that little something extra from our favourite sadist and the only woman who can bring him to his knees. The only thing missing was a little King, but his larger than life personality could have overpowered the sweet and tender love story between Jason and Simone. 

I simply love the Sinners series and despite this almost feeling a little like a side-step away from the original series, this story is definitely one to be savoured and relished by new and old fans alike.

Having read The Red, I was already familiar with Tiffany Reisz. She has a capability to weave an interesting story, combined with some hot scenes. As in this case with Jason 'Still' Waters, hot cowboy who is struggling with his sensuality. Being raised in a very Catholic and old fashioned way, and even beaten by his own father, he feels guilty for having kinky thoughts like spanking a woman.
And then he meets the pink haired Simone. She is a part-time prosub and she sees the conflicting feelings Jason has and decides to offer her help. But while being a slave in his house for a few days, turns out to be the most wonderful experience for her and they fall for each other.
And then reality and Jason's family come crashing in... What will Jason do with his newfound self?
Find out for yourself in this wonderful read, but not during a warm summer day: you'll get too hot! Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

A new release by Reisz, especially one in the Original Sinners universe, is always a reason to cheer.  Here she returns with some of her favorite elements - BDSM (of course), horses, and beloved series regulars - in a contemporary erotic romance.

The good:

- Bi (as well as maybe pan) rep by an own voices author ❤️🌈
    
- Zee tropes, zey are flipped.  Instead of a baby sub, endemic in the genre, we have a baby dom who is guided by a professional submissive.
    
- The couple's romance and emotional journey is well paced and thought out... until the end.
    
- Reisz is always explicitly sex positive and guilt negative, and it's a joy to read.
    "This is what I think," she said. "If you're enjoying it and I'm enjoying it, then we're doing it right."
    
- There are cameo appearances by Nora and Soren - yum.  That being said the story stands on its own, even if you've never read an Original Sinners book.
    
- It's small and random, but I love that speaking two languages isn't presented as weird.  No "wow!" or "you're so smart!" or cultural stereotyping, just the fact that the hero knows Spanish (and the heroine has a passing knowledge, as well).  This bilingual appreciates it.

The oh-so-close:

- The final conflict hinges on a misunderstanding. It's not a Big Mis, and it makes sense, but the category length (~200 pages) means it comes up and is resolved very quickly, with a facile epilogue.  All the emotional beats are there, though, so yea for that.
    
- Reisz gravitates to shorter page counts but I like her at novel length, damn it.  The characterization is so wonderful that I want to see more of everyone.  Here the best friends, Luke especially, would have benefited from fleshing out.
    
- I love that the story is low angst... but that started giving me angst.  "What's the end conflict going to be?  Groupies discovering the girlfriend?  A sexy video or text getting hacked?  What if he forgets the condom ahhhhhh" (He doesn't, by the way.  Perfect gentleman.)  This is a me thing, though, and you'll probably be fine. 😅

Three cheers for Reisz in the mode I like her best.  It's also a good entry point into her work if the summary and shorter length appeal to you.  If you'd rather skip the BDSM try Her Halloween Treat instead.

Tiffany Reisz has become one of those authors I trust implicitly to always provide an interesting, engaging story. Cowboy story? Not really my thing, but I saw her name and had to give it a shot. And it was great! I think that Reisz's greatest strength is bringing characters to life in a way that it is impossible not to relate to them even if we have nothing apparently in common with them. So, with no real-life interest in BDSM, or cowboys, or pink hair-dye, somehow I found myself completely engaged with Jason and Simone and knowing that whatever crazy idea this author throws out next, I will be first in line to read it.

I’ve said it 100 times before and I’ll say it 100 times again - my happy place is with the Original Sinners. Being back with Jason and Simone (if you’ve read their short in the Exposed anthology you will already be familiar with them) was so great, I didn’t realise I’d missed them until I started to read this book, but I spent most of today with a big grin on my face, replaying their story and also getting the extra content. 

They really are a fun couple to be with and let’s not forget incredible sexy! A retired bull rider with Dom potential?? Yes please!! I loved the heat, the tension, the uncertainty, the romance, the humour. I read the book in just one sitting so you can tell it’s an addictive read. And that ending?? I had THE BIGGEST grin on my face. It couldn’t have been more perfect. 

Then add on to that we get a BONUS short story involving the fictional love of my life?? *dreamy sigh* I will NEVER get enough of Søren and Nora, and I snorted (attractive) and laughed so much throughout these scenes. Would it be incredibly awful to start a full series re-read right now? It would only be my 3rd this year... *shrugs* needs must! Enjoy Jellybean and Master D***head!

No one writes erotica like Tiffany does. 
No one. 
It was sexy and poetic, as usual. I will read anything and everything this woman writes and this story does not disappoint. And it’s ALWAYS a good thing when Søren and Nora show up. 

Not gonna lie, though. I was hoping for a little peak of Wesley and what he’s up to. Other than that this book was quintessential Reisz and I loved every word.

I loved this! So great to be back in the world of the Original Sinners. Simone is so, so sweet and cute. I love her personally and her interplay with Jason. The glimpses of Nora and Søren were a nice treat as well. 

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

I've read tiffany reisz earlier work and really loved the first two books but then they got a little too much for me, this one was kinda like that? Not quite as bad but still too far for me lol this is Jason and Simone book, Jason is an ex champion bull rider who had a very very strict father where if you touch a woman violently or even spanked you got a whooping of a lifetime! Simone is a photographer. Because of Jason upbringing he has fantasy of spanking, flogging, cane, woman but thinks it's wrong Simone has come in to teach him the way through the BDSM lifestyle!  It was a well written book and hot at times just a little much for me! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

I may be a little late to the Tiffany Reisz party.  Ok REALLY late.  I have a confession.  This is my first TR book.  I haven't read any of the Original Sinners series.  Shame shame shame on me.   Talking of shame,  in this story we have cute and quiet cowboy Jason being shown the ways of the dom-world by cute and sassy professional sub Simone.   Ashamed and guilty of his wanton desires he has never told anyone his darkest fantasies.
I really liked this.
This book is pretty fast-paced, Jason's character develops really quickly as he comes out of his shell to embrace who he truly wants to be sexually and this couple get into a relationship within hours of meeting.  I would have loved more from these two actually - they were super sweet together, the playtime was fun and their scenes were pretty hot - the story definitely felt like a side-piece to a series.  
I wanted to see their relationship develop further before the big point of conflict near the end- I loved the bonus scene at the end with the flogger 101!  More of that would have been absolutely awesome.
I am tempted to buy The Siren series off the back of this  as I think I would enjoy the greater depth that a series provides.  This was a great taster in TR's writing which was easy breezy to read and enjoy.   
It can definitely be enjoyed as stand alone.

What is better than a kinky book boyfriend? A KINKY COWBOY BOOK BOYFRIEND!! And if he is part of the Original Sinners Universe, it’s even better!!

Simone is a well-known pro-sub in the 8th circle. She’s the one who Søren used to call when Nora was not around to release his sadistic needs, but now that Mister S and Mistress Nora are living far away from NYC, she now more focused on her other profession as a photographer. Her current job is a calendar to raise money good cause and her next model is a famous cowboy in a small town in Kentucky. She expected to arrive, take her pictures and leave, but what happened was completely unexpected. Starting with Jason, he is not what she expected at all.

Jason has been THE good guy all his life. A good son, brother, bull rider—so good he has a room full of trophies—and now that he’s retired, he moved away from home to Kentucky to train horses, he is the good cowboy in town. He has a quiet life in his farm and he’s content with it. But he has fantasies, dark fantasies that go against everything he was thought by his conservative family, so he thinks every single one of his fantasies are wrong and sadly he beats himself so much about this. So when he goes to the photoshoot and finds the vivacious, candid, refreshing, and lovely Simone, with her pink hair, her tattoos, and her open mind, Jason is struck by a real world he has always thought were not real—and only reenacted in kinky porn.

I love everything about this book!! I loved the novella Watermark when it was published part of the Exposed Anthology but this long version of Simone and Jason’s story is wayyyy much better, it is more detailed, sexier, more romantic and the cameos of my beloved Søren and Nora are more amazing in this full-length novel. One of the things I loved the most about Picture Perfect Cowboy is that it showed more layers to the characters, Jason and Simone are amazing and perfect for each other.

If you are not a fan of the Original Sinners Series, you are not late for the party. You can start with Picture Perfect Cowboy—it’s completely standalone—and have a taste of the awesomeness of this universe and have a little taste of other characters of the series, and then go and start from the beginning, with The Siren.

100% recommended.

Lordy Lordy.. the girl did good!
I will freely admit, without the need for torture, that I adore Tiffany’s Iriginal Sinners Kinkyverse. I can be a little ‘meh’ about some of her other novels, but that’s never to say I don’t enjoy them, I just compare them to the OS beauts and find them lacking ‘something ‘. It’s usually  Soren and Nora!
So it’s fabulous to get a little taste of them in Simones sexy story.
Fun, hot and HEA. Pure joy! And the bonus ‘masterclass’ was a nice palette cleanser.
