With the right Daddy by her side, she can move mountains...
Just when she thinks her life is finally turning around, a disastrous first date puts Everly Truman right back where she started—a nervous, terrified wreck.
She's pretty sure she's ruined any chance she had with sweet, handsome Chef Andrew, but once he learns the real reason she's been avoiding him, he refuses to let her hide from him any longer. With seemingly endless patience and understanding, he finally helps her reclaim the parts of herself she thought she'd lost forever.
But when Everly realizes she isn't the only one hurting, she has a big decision to make. Can her new Daddy help her find the strength she needs to face her fears and finally conquer her demons?

This is another entry in the Rawhide Ranch series, a place for Littles and their Bigs. Here, we get Everly, who has been hiding out there since she fled her job after being sexually assaulted by her boss. Though chef Andrew likes her and she's attracted to him, will the trauma of her past get in the way of her present?
With a couple of caveats, I liked this and recommend it if you're looking for gentle DD/lg play. I particularly appreciated that Andrew was very careful about triggering Everly and that the lifestyle was never more important to him than she was. And I really appreciated that alone of all the books I've read in this multi-volume series, there is actually talk of safewords.
My problem is that the first-person dual POV is incredibly confusing. Since none of the chapter or sub-chapter headings are labeled, I could only tell who is speaking by context and that often took several lines to figure out. This is especially true the first time we're introduced to Andrew: the POV abruptly switched from Everly to Andrew and no one addressed him by name; thus, I thought we were still with Everly. I'm not sure why the author didn't label the POVs, but whatever the reason, it was a poor decision. Many of the prepositional phrases are also incorrect and the ending is abrupt, but those are much less distracting.
3 1/2 stars. The narrative had good things to say about the reasons people often don't report workplace sexual harassment. All in all, one of the more mild and pleasant books in the series. One character will get her own book. Note: Given that the list of Ranch occupations has been pretty exhausted, authors might consider introducing a therapist -- as long as that person doesn't have a relationship with a client.

This was a cute and sweet story but I did get a bit confused as to what each chapter was about. There wasn't either "Andrew" or "Everly" under the chapter number so if you're not paying attention, it might be confusing. Even with that, I still enjoyed this story. Everly doesn't think she'll find a Daddy but Andrew has had his eye on her and wants her as his own Little. Because of everything she's been through in the past, he knows he is going to have to take it slow with her. Can he do it or will he scare her off? The topics of her past were dealt with in a good way and that made me like it even more. Great story!

This is the latest Rawhide Ranch book and since I haven't read all of the previous, I can say that it's easy to enjoy as a standalone.
I liked this book more than some others as the story is very much centred on Everly and Andrew with little other distraction. I appreciated the care and time that Andrew took to ensure Everly was able to move on from her trauma. I liked that while it was dealt with it wasn't the main focus of the relationship between them.
However, while I liked that we got both POV, there was no acknowledgement at the start of each section which character was speaking so it's left up to the reader to figure it out from the context. Also, since there is now quite a few books from a selection of authors in this series, it would be helpful to have a list of characters, their book and the author. Overall, I enjoyed this easy, quick read.

I adore the Ranch and everything it stands for.
Everly is at the Ranch after being assaulted by her boss. Poor girl has so much trauma and anxiety, it unfortunately effects her when she finally finds a good Daddy.
Andrew is a new chef at the Ranch and he is a great addition. He is so gentle and caring with Everly. I love that safewords are constantly talked about between them.
While I did love this story, it was difficult to navigate without knowing which chapter belonged to which character. In the beginning of the book I didn't even know it was Andrew in Chapter 2.
I am looking forward to more of the Ranch.

Everly is at Rawhide Ranch because of a past trauma that she is yet to overcome.
Her Daddy, Andrew, is taking everything very slow because they are not sure what will trigger her to have a panic attack.
Everything seems to be going good until something triggers a panic attack in one of the classrooms and after talking about it, Everly decides to press charges against her assailant.
After she does, 3 other women who worked at the same place, contact her attorney and wish to also press charges.
This is a story that imagine happens more times than not with women and they just need someone to stand with them as support to have enough strength to persue the charges.
Great story with wonderful characters.

What can I say other than, this was an absolutely fantastic story that touched on two very sensitive topics, workplace bullying and anxiety. When Everly experience the abuse from her boss who frequently abuse his power as a employer and cause anxiety for Everly when she removed the abuse over and over again. It was fantastic to see that she had the support of Andrew who was her daddy and all the rest of the tops at the ranch. It was great to see that she had her best friends who were fellow Littles supporting her and her PTSD. There was a happy ending.

I loved this book that was written by Meredith O'Reilly for Rawhide Ranch. I was hooked from the start when Andrew was mesmerised with Everly her beautiful red hair and her sapphire-colored eyes. Then the nightmares and smell of Andrew's cologne made Everly have bad flashbacks and anxiety where her stuffie Penny. Everly had her own rollercoaster ride of emotions, while Andrew wants to save Everly from this rollercoaster she was on.

This is another tearjerker, make sure you have tissues nearby. Everly had been traumatized and escaped to Rawhide Ranch for safety. Andrew is a chef at the ranch and he is interested in being her Daddy. Everly feels that she is broken, but Andrew doesn't agree. He patiently works to help her find herself again. I enjoyed the story and I love Rawhide Ranch.

Could be a trigger
Or could be inspirational depending on your background. Not the typical fairly lighthearted Rawhide Dd/lg story - Everly was sexually assaulted at work and has never had closure, resulting in severe anxiety. The story reads more like a therapy log with her learning to cope with the past trauma and to enjoy her life today than a typical "romance" but be reassured, as with all Rawhide stories, Everly has her HEA.

Everly had come to the ranch after she was a bruised by her prior boss Mr. Tom Rickers. She did not think she would very love or have sex after what she had been through. Then she met Andrew one of the chefs at the ranch. After there first date she did not want to see him again. It took Andrew sometime and talking to the other dads on how to handle Everly. Now you need to read this book to see what happens next. Enjoy

I love the Rawhide Ranch series. Each of these littles are unique. As are their Daddy’s or Mommies. They are always a quick, fun read to dive into. Everly was the same. A cute little who needs the support of the ranch and to find a forever home. I just loved it! I really look forward to these steamy for the big girl and innocent times that they all enjoy. Our wonderful cast of characters are of course along for the ride. I highly recommend this book.

Everly had a traumatic past and it was effecting her future. Andrew wanted to date and be part of her life even knowing how difficult it would be. Everly goes through a healing process throughout the book and finally gets the closure she needs thanks to Andrew and her family at the ranch.

Everly is good
A young woman ends up at Rawhide Ranch, she ran into trouble at her workplace. It's a good, timely story but I won't say more. There are only a few errors in the book. Meredith O'Reilly does a good job of writing age play.

Another wonderful tale in this fantastic series. I loved the characters and cheered her on when she met the man who had done her so wrong. Her Daddy was so good to her, supporting her when she needed and giving her the disciple she desired. I can't wait for the next book.

Awesome Read
Andrew is just what Every needs, she has trauma that she needs to deal with and he's the one to show her by taking everything slowly and showing her that someone who loves you can help you overcome it.

Rawhide ranch is a facinating place, taking in littles who have been hurt and giving them a safe place, such like Everly who was SA by her boss. Now with the help of her patient daddy she is both learning to be herself again, and can get revenge on her boss.

A patient, loving Daddy and a traumatised, anxious Little girl.
This is a story about friendship, love and overcoming adversity.
I did like Everly but I liked Andrew even more. She thinks she’s broken. He is the glue she needs to feel whole again. And he cooks!
A really lovely story!
