I was really interested in reading this story ever since meeting the character of Diana in Roped. However, this book was a total let down for me. What she endured was glossed over, never going in depth with it. Likewise, her time in rehab was also glossed over, to the point where I was wondering why she even needed rehab in the first place if all she did was learn how to give rote answers. Because of this, we only get a superficial picture of Diana. Her hero/lover, Matt, was also relegated to a superficial picture of himself.
Another problem with it was that it took place in the same time frame and same setting/backdrop as Hitched, almost as if the author couldn't be bothered with a timeline for the series or wrote Hitched and Lassoed as one book, then split it into two different ones. This story does have a slightly unfinished feel to it.
I also didn't like the decision made at the end of the book. There was only a superficial reason for it given and I would have liked to know a lot more as to why they chose to do this.
All in all, the book was a total disappointment, and I regret the money spent on it.

Recovering from the abusive relationship with her ex, Diana is terrified to get involved again with a dominant man. Matt loves Diana and only learnt the tricks of the BDSM lifestyle to be close to her. Though alpha by nature, he’s willing to show Diana that her needs will always come first and if that means she controls their love life so be it. I loved Matt’s patience and how he shows Diana that there is more to love than dominance or submission. Once again, the sex scenes are explicit though highly appropriate to the story

Ufff, la historia de Diana ha sido dura, pero ha encontrado a un chico a su altura y semejanza, es imposible no adorar al precioso vaquero Matt. Esta tercer historia sucede a la par que la segunda, así que es bastante interesante ver cómo se entrelazan ambas, y seguimos en la línea de la tormenta de nieve caliente. Muy recomendable.
