Rope Me Down

by N. Slater

I’ve spent eight months fighting my attraction to my boyfriend’s father, Boone, but when my boyfriend leaves me on the side of the road, all bets are off.

Especially when Boone rescues me, takes me back to the ranch, and shows me exactly what it means to fall apart.

And then he gives me a fantasy—two weeks with him and the three sons who live at the ranch.

A way to completely and utterly fall apart as they give me every filthy, tender thing I’ve been too starved to ask for.

Fourteen days of pure bliss.

We haven’t even truly started, and I don’t want it to end.

Rope Me Down is an 18+ MMMMM Romance with all the focus on Ash while his ex’s three brothers and their father take him apart like he’s a prize to be won. HEA

This was exciting and hot, until it became predictable and too easy and chasing-your-tail all over again. No tension at all after the very first two or three chapters and that was kind of disappointing. They all instantly wanted each other and the hot scenes filled every chapter. I thought there would be much more angst and inner turmoil between Ash and Boone and his sons. But everything kind of wrapped around the idea of him being their sub and them screwing him a lot and taking care of that fragile side. No deep inner thoughts, nothing to make me actually go insane about it.

Ash didn’t question a lot of things, he just gave in and please, he was interrupted every single time he wanted to say something!!! God, how much I disliked that.

I’m giving it 3 stars because the plot had potential, the starter got me excited, but unfortunately it lost me on the way, sadly ;-;

Oh what a story 🤩
I love a good why choose — but MMMMM? Yes, please, I am absolutely here for it 😤🩷 And when it is written by N. Slater, whose style I adore? There was never any question. I had to read this one 😏✨
This is the story of Ash — aka Dove, Sunshine, Trouble, or just gorgeous — and the father and brothers of his ex-boyfriend 👀😮‍💨 I felt so sorry for Ash more times than I can count, and honestly? I had that in common with the brothers. How could one person be so toxic and treat someone so precious like that 🤐💀

But I will say no more 🤐

What I will say is that the dynamic within this family is so easy and natural — watching these four start to care for Ash so effortlessly had me swooning from beginning to end 🥺🩷 There is something so beautiful about the way they just... claimed him. Softly. Fiercely. Without even trying.
And then combine all of that with a generous amount of spice 🔥 Nic had me squirming more than once and I am not even a little embarrassed about it 😏😮‍💨

Go read this if you love stories that will break your heart a little before putting it back together, chosen family that means every word, and spice that will absolutely ruin you 🔥🤩

I'm a fan of possessive, protective poly stories, but unfortunately this one didn't work for me at all.

There's no tension, no build up, no real angst or depth. Within two seconds of Ash being picked up by his boyfriend's dad, they sleep together with zero chemistry or buildup. Then out of nowhere, he's told he's being "shared" with the whole household and needs to pick a safe word. It makes no sense.

The dialogue is random. They randomly bring up major topics out of thin air with nothing leading into those conversations. It constantly pulled me out of the story.

This whole book just felt silly. There's no real reason behind the dynamics, no plot to speak of. Honestly, I should have DNF'd this one.

4.75 stars. The dad was alright, the brothers were fire, and Ash was an adorable puppy who just needed to be loved. Oh and the filthy smut was on point too. MMMMM was a lot at first, for me, but I eventually caught onto the flow.

This book had me hooked from the start. I was so invested in the story. Ash was in a traumatizing relationship for two years before being rescued. He stays at his rescuers’ ranch where three of his sons also live, and the five of them finally give in to what they want. Spice was a main theme of the book, but there was also emotion and love. I adored the cute moments, the comfort, the cuddling, the kissing, the healing; it was sweet yet passionate. The taboo aspect definitely had me kicking my feet and giggling at times, honestly. I highly recommend it; the vibes were fantastic!

Quick Spicy Read

3.75⭐️

I saw this recommended in an MM fb group and wanted to see how filthy it was - It sure sounded it.

It takes a while to settle into its rhythm at first. Ash hasn’t been treated the best in his past relationships- he’s currently with the deadbeat son of Boone, brother of Teague, Ledger and Cass. And they see his worth and like to share, offering him a two week stay after the break up.

Ash comes across as delicate and pure, regardless of what he gets up to. The father and sons contingent is smooth, protective and gentle with Ash. There’s more than just the physical here, even if it’s a little clumsy in the execution at times. I didn’t find it all that smutty, at least not dirty, filthy smut. Maybe that’s due to my reading history - this tends to be similar sorts of s3x scenes on repeat - but there is a lot of it.

A good resolution for all involved. I liked how the four men treat Ash and how he gets the HEA he deserves.

This story completely pulled me in from beginning to end. N. Slater has an incredible talent for creating characters you instantly connect with and emotionally invest in. I was hooked watching everything unfold and constantly needed to know what would happen next. The emotional depth, chemistry, and overall story engagement were absolutely phenomenal. Every chapter kept me wanting more, and by the end I was already craving the next book. An unforgettable read that exceeded my expectation.

3.5 ⭐️
‘Goldilocks and his 5 bears’ should be the title.😉
Where Goldie is the toy the bears want to consume and their love language is fukking.

This rode a VERY tight line of cest and while some might say no, I personally think it was between certain scenes and some of the language spoken. Then add the dad and how he spoke of his kids and yeah.. they are just way too interconnected with one another.

The story was hot.. no doubt. It was cover to cover sxx. But it was also a shit ton of unbelievable. Just one scene to mention, a bunch of cowboys at a rodeo kissing and touching the same man in public and no one say anything, all while they do business with said people. They get no talk? Wouldn’t happen. I wish… but nope.

Overall it was enjoyable but I won’t be rereading cause it just is too over the top in a few ways.

Tropes: Ex's Dad & Brothers, Dom/Dub, Subspace, Free use, Hurt/Comfort, Size Difference, Age Gap
Rating: 5/5

As much as I love a solid plot and detailed world building, I also really love a good smutty story that isn't there to pretend it's anything it's not. Now, there is still a story here - Ash's ex is a douche canoe and he's been secretly pining for his ex's Dad and brothers for years, so when he's abandoned on the side of the road and picked up by Boone, his ex's Dad, he decides to give in. But I loved every page of this. The banter and the dynamics between them were so natural that it was hard not to. And it was SPICCYYYYYYY. I'll always love every sweet character N Slater writes, no exceptions, and this was a good one.

Trigger/Content Warnings:
- abuse (psychological, emotional, verbal) [not between MCs]
- explicit sexual content (multiple partners, mild bdsm, primal play)
- violence

What a deliciously filthy treat this was. There is nothing sexier than a down hideous man who knows who and want he wants...and Asher got FOUR of them...in the same family. Lucky little princess.

As usual in books with multi-love interests, I have a favorite: Cassian. Baby, the man you are. Then Ledger (oooh, baby, the man you ARE!), then Teague (sexy little goofball). Boone (the dad) was fine, but THOSE SONS! Delicious.

[Richelle Zirkle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved everything about this fantastic story. When Ash is abandoned by his boyfriend, and Boone (the boyfriend’s father) swoops in to the rescue, it literally becomes a filthy fairytale in the best way. Boone and his sons are the perfect men to piece the jagged, neglected pieces of Ash back together and make him feel safe once again. They see all the trauma he thinks he’s been hiding, and they don’t shy away from it, but they let him know that they aren’t his abuser, letting him take up space and thrive again. This was a really great read, offering a HEA guaranteed to put a smile on your face, no notes.

[J.J. · Rating 4 out of 5]

My guy here bagged his abusive ex's father AND brothers. Love that for him.

But seriously, this was a surprisingly emotional story. Because of how much Ash's relationship traumatized him, it was hard for him to be unapologetically himself. He was so used to curbing his own wants to please his asshole ex that his self-esteem was obliterated. He couldn't even exist in his home at peace without being criticized for it.

Boone, Ledger, Cass, and Teague helped him learn to listen to himself and do whatever he wants. It was gradual, and I loved how they never pushed. They just waited for him to make his own choices.

[Kez Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this ranch RH romance.
Ash has been rescued from his toxic ex, and finally gets the love, attention and care he deserves from his exes dad and 3 brothers.
He gets 2 weeks at their ranch, to experience everything he's been missing and to break away from the conditioning of his ex.
This is a spicy and taboo romance with 4 men sharing Ash. They explore power dynamics, lots of kinks, and let Ash heal and thrive.
I loved the multi pov and seeing how much they all adore Ash, and seeing his growth and self discovery.

[JJ Waggy · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars rounded up because I am always delighted to be surprised by a book. I came in expecting ridiculous spice for the scintillation of it and instead got *emotions* and *unpacking* and *trauma care.* What! Wow!

Are the characters deep and fleshed out? Heck no. Is Ash more than a Gary Stu? Barely. But somehow Slater made me care about the fam anyway, and made the sex part of it but not the point of it, which is harder than you might think.

[Ann-Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, what a great read! I saw someone share this book on Facebook and thought, ‘Yep, this sounds like a fun read.’ Well, it was so good I could not put it down. The story was really well done, and I never felt overwhelmed despite there being so many people in the relationship. I cannot wait to read more from this author.

mm why choose

I greatly enjoyed reading a why choose that was not in the omegaverse.

I loved the growth Ash had throughout the book and how each of the brothers and the dad brought out pieces of him in such a short amount of time.

Interesting family dynamics but it works for them.

[Sarah Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

fave read of year so far

I cannot put into words how much I enjoyed this book ash is so broken by Marcus and then Boone takes him home and he finds exactly what he needs Teague cass ledger and Boone who show him exactly how beautiful and special he is love it so much thank you pls write more mmmmm I will read them all xx

[Kimberlymaemendiola · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story is my comfort read.

With all the steamy scenes involved here, I found comfort rather than lust. I find myself healing despite not having anything to heal for. There’s nothing forbidden in finding love, comfort and safety for yourself as long as you’re not hurting anybody. Thank you for this story. It will definitely live rent free in my head forever.

[Whisper Wallen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well, well, well that was delicious. All I can say is save a horse ride the cowboys. Ex‘s dad and ex three brothers did I think I’d ever read anything like this? No. Did I enjoy every minute of it? Hell yeah. Downright filthy. Perfect for if you just want something spicy and a bit taboo.

[Janice Boudreau · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a good book!

Wow! I read over 300 gay romance stories last year, so I read a lot. Don't know the count for this year. I started reading this book and could hardly put it down. Lovely high heat story about a young man reclaiming his life from an abusive boyfriend.

[Simone · Rating 5 out of 5]

dream job, become Ash Dunne

Seriously this book was fire hot! Ash makes it out of the worst of the worst and to trust your ex’s family to care for all your needs and I do mean ALLLLL of them…just so amazing. I cannot wait to read more N Slater!

Absolutely loved this one! The dynamics between Ash and Boone and his sons was just perfect! Loved the hurt/comfort and healing. The story was so much fun, and perfectly written. Another win by N Slater.
