I wanted to like this one because I liked Scoring Lacey so much. Maybe it is/was good, but just a bit too, too for me. I may try it again .. long airport layover and nothing else to read, but not going to kill myself if it doesn't happen. Just too many good ones and so little time. Hmm... Almost sounds like I'm trying to end a so/so relationship =)
This may be for you, but didn't float my boat.
Happy Reading .. maybe?

A yummy cowboy, a sexy singing sensation and a lifelong friendship that's ready to become so much more, Jenna Howard's SPURRED ON will leave BDSM fans with a whole new appreciation for a cowgirl and her rope.
The vast majority of BDSM that I've come across has featured a male Dominant. For the first time I was treated to a role reversal. SPURRED ON gave me the opportunity to climb into the skin of the female Domme as she initiated her buff rodeo star cowboy into the pleasures of submission. Pleasures? Did I say that? Well, yes, the two enjoyed more than their fair share of pleasures, but do not doubt that this cowgirl knows how to torture her cowboy, too. She has him all tied up, literally and figuratively.
Jessa Mae Brody and Luke O'Connor have pretty much grown up together. Their fathers were best friends who traveled the rodeo circuit together and have continued that lifelong friendship even after a car wreck that resulted in Jessa's father being wheelchair bound. Even as teens the two only had eyes for each other, but Jessa's confusion with her desires to hurt as well as pleasure Luke kept her from acting on those lusts.
At twenty five, Jessa and Luke had their first sexual encounter. It was intense to say the least, but the evening didn't end well and it was five more years before Jessa and Luke gave it another try.
I had a really difficult time understanding the motives and actions of the characters in the first half of the story. When they first had sex, Jessa showed her very kinky and in control Domme side. Luke made the comment, "What the fuck are you learning on the road?" afterwards. This was after sharing many times how beautiful and amazing she was. How hot he was for her. She interpreted his comment as being called a whore. Excuse me? Huh? A whore? How exactly is that?
She was leading one of the most erotic sexual scenes I've read, I think the observation that she's learned a thing or two (and she has, she's a Domme who has been trained!) isn't an off the wall or rude comment. And, I can't imagine a Domme actually being insulted by a sub's acknowledgement that she demonstrates practiced skill. So her irritation that lasts five years still confuses me. She got mad again toward the end of the book when he backed away, giving her space as fans accosted her. This time it was better explained, and I understood what the character was thinking, but it still didn't ring true or make sense to me at all. In his shoes I would have done the same thing, given her space to do her job.
I am a fan of strong characters whose demons color their actions. I love multi-dimensional characters who are raw, real and relatable. I found myself wanting more from both Jessa and Luke. Surely submitting for the first time and speaking of his desires aloud doesn't come easily for an alpha cowboy. And Jessa traveling, being away from the simple country life she grew up in and becoming a world famous singing star, has to leave scars. Especially if you have held out for your childhood love, turning thirty and not having had a real romantic relationship before.
But, like I said, the erotic scenes are oh-so-toe-curling erotic, proving girls in charge can lead to some pretty amazing combustible results. And Jessa described future plans for Luke that are sure to leave the boy in a cold shower for a very long time. Even without rope and toys, a Domme is a pretty powerful sexual creature capable of stirring all kinds of fire. Watch out, men. This might give the ladies some ideas.
My favorite parts (ok, outside of all the sexual tension and release) were when she wrote the songs that so clearly reflected her relationship at the time with Luke. Sadly, the boy remained totally clueless that he was the object of desire that she sang about. That was creative brilliance and a wonderful way to weave her inner thoughts into the story without being so obvious and blunt.
I love and prefer alpha male heroes, and the idea of a hero as a sub raised my eyebrow a smidge. Happily, Luke didn't submit like female protagonists submit. Somehow, he did retain his manly cowboy studliness even when he was on his knees begging. That seemed true to me. I'll bet strong alpha men do carry some of that aggression with them even into submission. He instigated far more than female subs are allowed, and that really worked for me. He wasn't a passive or weak man at all. He was, all in, all male and all cowboy. And really, who doesn't love a cowboy?
SPURRED ON is a wonderful and creative tale with what could be a new perspective for readers to experience. There is plenty of hawt to keep you warm this winter, and all kinds of cowboy charm to keep you smiling. Enjoy!

Wendy's Review
This is the first time that I have ever read a book where the woman was in complete control and wanted to be the dominant. But Jenna made this book with enough finess that you realized that every woman may have a certain amount of dominance in them and want to show it. But a true submissive is the one who is actually in control and a man as strong as Luke O’Connor can control a woman of dominance like Jessa Brody.
Jessa had control over everything in her life—her singing career and the way she lives her life. Luke had wanted Jessa, they grew up together and so he knew what she needed and control was it. But for five years they denied each other but being a dominate person you know when to make the move.
Luke had limits that he wasn’t aware of until the torturous sexual affair started and then to back track would mean he was weak and he couldn’t allow that but being a true submissive you have to learn that honesty is the best policy so as Jessa and Luke discover their relationship it was a true awakening of feelings left under a silent veil for five years.
Jenna Howard brought a book that gave the reader a story of true love in dominance and submission and gives the reader an input in the lives of a lifestyle that gives you chills to try, and experimenting is within the reach of everyone. Reading Spurred On is my first but certainly not my last experience where the woman is dominant. Spurred On is a great book to read if you want a dominant cowgirl/singer meets a submissive cowboy book.
5 Tea Cups!

This book surprised me, for I wasn’t expecting all that much- it was a quick, fast buy I came upon by coincidence, and I only picked it up because it has a male submissive, and I am a sucker for male submissives- so I thought I should check it out. I loved how natural everything felt in this story- no High Tech dungeon, no mistress in stiletto boots…cowgirl loves cowboy, he’s submissive, and she’s dominant. She has known for a while and played as a Domme, he is new to the business, and needs some “breaking in”…
The story takes its time to develop the relationship between hero and heroine, the feelings are sweet and authentic, the dirty talking scorching, and the sex H-A-W-T…nothing to complain here. I plain loved everything about this book, it’s a definite keeper for me!

Overall, I liked this tale of cowboy/cowgirl female domination. Some of the conflict between the music star and her hot and cold beau was a bit tedious...a bit too buch. Overall, it was really well writing. And hot!
