I live in the Midwest with my husband and two dogs, enjoy spending time with my daughter, babysitting her two dogs, reading and working puzzles. We have traveled extensively, but I much prefer being a homebody.
I began writing erotic novels with an emphasis on erotic spanking five years ago never dreaming that I would get published. I just celebrated the release of my eleventh title and am very thankful to my publisher, Pink Flamingo, for taking a chance on me and giving me the opportunity to enjoy a fun career. While my earlier books lean more towards straight erotica that will appeal to only a very select audience, my last five books are erotic romances. I enjoy hearing all comments from readers.

After the surprise of Ms. BJ Wane writing a Cowboy shifter book, I looked forward to reading more, and she did not disappoint with the second story of Cody McCullough and Olivia Harris. These two very strong, independent people meet through a mutual friend, Doug, partner, and best friend of Cody’s. Sometimes in life, you find yourself in an unbelievable situation, and that is where Cody will be when he meets Olivia. His wolf wants her, knowing she is his mate—but he must walk away because she is with his friend.
For years, Olivia Harris has been on her own, and even before that, she had to grow up early in life and act like an adult. Losing her mother when she was only seven, her father will never mentally recover from losing his wife, and Olivia misses out on a childhood. Losing her father, she learned early on how to function on her own.
“I’ve been used to fending for myself for a long time.”
As the story moves forward and life changes, Olivia moves and starts a new life. She is plagued with her feelings for Cody, his rejection of her, and her guilt for wanting him, even when she was with Doug. Will a new state and location help her heal? Why won’t Cody leave her mind? Will moving back to Idaho be healing? What will happen to the problems she will leave behind in Seattle?
Cody can’t watch his mate with his best friend, so he retires from his deputy position with the Sheriff’s department and moves back to the ranch. What a shock to get the call that Doug has been in an accident—and then to see Olivia at the funeral. It will be a shock to see her in town, near the ranch—what is she doing here?
The plot will have Cody and Olivia attracted to one another, but they can’t do anything. Olivia believes he doesn’t like her, and she feels guilty for wanting him. When they connect again, it will be at a funeral and then a long time before they meet up and can talk. The story is full of mystery, suspense, angst, danger, life and death, and two people with secrets that must be careful to protect others.
“It was a good thing she had him now. He would be her sounding board and her shield, her protector, and, if necessary, her avenger. She was no longer alone.”
The story has the good, the bad, the ugly, and deep secrets. With Olivia’s work with an underground agency to rescue and protect women and children from abusers, she has opened herself up to danger. Will protecting an endangered child from a high profile bully bring trouble to her door? In the shifter world, the McCullough family has shared the risks of mating with humans and how it harmed their families with problems. Now, just like Gavin, Cody has fallen in love with a human, one who is in danger, but keeping secrets. How will he be able to tell her about himself and his family safely? What happens when she learns of his secret? How will he react when he learns of her troubles? Can the past be changed between a wolf and a human? One where there is a chance of a future and HEA?
“I’ve never understood why it’s always been different with you, or why I couldn’t forget you, quit craving you. I just know you’re the one.” –Olivia
“I love you, too, wolf and all, Master Cody.
The story has scenes inside a BDSM club, including exhibition, voyeurism, spanking, ménage, and explicit sex scenes among consenting adults.
I was given an ARC of this story from Booksprout and what an emotional journey B. J. Wane took us on with 'Cody'. His and Olivia's story grabbed hold at the very beginning and would not let go. If you read 'Gavin', book one in the 'Cowboy Wolf' series then you know these brothers and their cousins have been raised with the story of past family history and told they could only mate with another wolf shifter. Cody, like his brother Gavin before him, wasn't sent that message by Fate because Olivia, his mate, is human. Olivia on the other hand, met Doug, Cody's partner at the BDSM club. Cody could only take listening to Doug sing Olivia's praises for so long until he agreed to meet them at the club and be introduced. Naturally, Cody was dumbfounded his mate had hooked up with his best friend but Olivia couldn't for the life of her understand why she was instantly attracted and felt instant chemistry to Cody. There are so many angst and misunderstandings from secrets being kept throughout the story. It's a wonderful read with twists and turns throughout. I can hardly wait for Drake's book.
Cody meets his mate at a club when Olivia is with his partner. Will they ever get together > Olivia is just learning about the BDSM lifestyle and needs a dom she can trust to show her the benefits. Can she handle his secret too ? Another page turner from this author !
