Eli's Little Easter : Holidays at Rawhide Ranch Book 7 by [Dakota  Trace , Rawhide  Authors, AllyCat’s  Creations]

The youngest son of the Atheron family, Elias has been a huge disappointment to his overbearing parents, particularly his mother. He’s done everything right, including relocating to another state to head up the office in the newest addition to the family party business, but it still never seems enough. She now wants him to come home for Easter, to reunite with an old flame, which he refuses to do. This Easter he has the chance to make Little Delights, his own party planning service for Littles, into the premier party planning service for the age-play community. Derek Hawkins has hired him to plan an Easter Jamboree for his Little girl and the rest of the Littles who call the Rawhide Ranch their home.

Willem William is the past the age of playing. As the financial adviser for the Rawhide Ranch, he spends his days studying spreadsheets, trends, and making suggestions to secure the future of the Hawkins family. Nearing his golden birthday, he assumes his dream of having his own Little is just that. Which is why he never expects the boy to walk into his life under the guise of an accident-prone party planner. But once he catches a glimpse of the Little boy Eli tries to hide, he’s smitten. Now all he has to do is convince Eli that what he needs is a good old-fashioned daddy for Easter.

Publisher Note: this is a slow burn where a determined Daddy meets the shy Little meant to be his. If age play, moonlight trips to the park and spanking/discipline are not your thing, please don’t buy this book.

Review by Momma Julia – This is a Throwback Review from a dear friend of WOTR who lost her battle with cancer.

Eli has a chance to break away from his family, and their Party Planning business, and his overbearing Mother. He’s moved to a new State, to start a new branch. Bit what he’s trying to do is start his own specifically tailored company focused on Littles. Eli is a Little, but it’s buried very deeply, t, someone in his past ruined it for him. Willem the company accountant has buried his Daddy side, he didn’t think at his age he’s find another Little of his own, until he met Eli. I loved how protective of Eli, Willem was. Together they found out, it’s never too late.

Hello, and welcome to my site. I’m Dakota, an author of erotic romance (think 50 Shades of Gray – but better) and paranormal erotica. And what exactly does that mean? Well, since I’ve always marched to the beat of different drum: it means that I get to take my unique life experiences – like putting around in the garage with my dad, or driving a train when I was ten, to create worlds where the heroines aren’t necessarily June Clever, but are strong independent women who may stand on their own two feet, but long to submit to the right man. Whether it’s two friends who realize there is more than friendship between them or the sexy alien who captures his unwilling slave’s heart, sparks fly between them. My imagination has no bounds or at least none I’ve found yet!

#WOTR23 #AuthorSpotlight – Dakota Trace

Dakota Trace

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Dakota Trace. I’m an avid reader, crazy mom/nana, a health care worker and sometimes author. Been writing since I was a teenager before getting published in 2008. Dang where did the time go? I love to write in various genres from contemporary erotic romance, menage, male/male, bdsm, and my latest addition: daddy doms.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

I’d have to say the others after it. Such high expectations from the readers.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Don’t beat yourself up when the writer block comes. We all experience and like most things, it will pass. (This is from an author who’s coming off a three month writer’s block.)

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

When I write, it’s usually two to three hours.

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

I’d have to say Willem from my Rawhide Ranch books. He’s a very old-fashioned Daddy Dom who isn’t in a rush to get to the good parts. Every part of the relationship is a ‘good part’ for him. He wants the whole person, just not what his lover can give him in bed.

What is your definition of success?

Success? Having one person find joy or the ability to escape into one of my stories. If I entertain even one person, then I’ve done my job.

#WOTR22 #TwinsieForTheDayPam #MMF – Shattered Dreams, Redemption Book 2 by Dakota Trace

Shattered Dreams (Redemption Book 2) by [Dakota Trace]

Sometimes the fairytale falls apart…

The Submissive
Lizzie thought she’d found the perfect…Dom, in her husband Max. He’d swept in and rescued her and her best friend from a hellish existence. He’d sheltered them through the storm of mental illness and gave them a place to belong. Everything was golden…until it wasn’t. A heart attack…followed by a shooting has just shown her how vulnerable her Master actually is. And for the first time in their lives together, she’s the one in charge and taking care of him…sorta.

The Switch:
Max has been hiding a secret from his beautiful wife. He loves being her Master, her rock, her shelter in the storm, but sometimes he struggles with his own need to submit. He never particularly cared for labels, but in his world they mean everything. And now that he’s unable to give Lizzie what she needs…he finds himself withdrawing. He loves his wife, but she deserves better than a man in a wheelchair. Maybe it’s time to find someone to fill his shoes…

The Dominant
Elliot lives for taking care of those around him, which is probably why he became a cop in the first place. When he’s called to the hospital to take the statements of two of the victims, he meets both Lizzie and Max. Both are hurting, one from his wounds and other from her husband’s stubbornness. Perhaps it’s time for a little tough love..

Only time will tell if Elliot is the solution for Lizzie’s and Max’s broken relationship….

Review by Pam

5***** Stars.

A Different Dynamic

I’m not really into the Daddy Dom. But this book tugged at me. I couldn’t stop reading. Lizzie needed a strong Dom to keep her in line. Max is the Master that can do this. Raine is her best friend. They need each other’s support. Master keeps both of them in line. Then Master and his best friend Storm get shot. Here comes Elliot. A very dominant detective. The dynamic of all these relationships change now. Y’all need to read this book. From a Fan… Pam James.

#WOTR22 #BDSM #TwinsieforthedayJulia #WOTRMommaJulia #Review – Reluctant Master, Doms of Napa Valley #4 by Dakota Trace

Reluctant Master (Doms of Napa Valley Book 4) by [Dakota Trace]

Hurricane Lauren has struck once again, but this time her victim isn’t going to let her off so easy.

Carefree and adventurous, Lauren Haskell loves her life. Not only does she have a great job as a gearhead, but she’s also content to go from Dom to Dom, playing but never risking her heart, until it’s gotten her nicknamed Hurricane Lauren. Not that it has stopped Doms from trying to tame her – especially Davis Clayton, half owner of New Beginnings. In desperation to keep him from getting too close, she agrees to scene with another Dom. While she’s had fun with the man, it’s time to move on. Too bad the Dom in question doesn’t think so and is willing to break the rules to keep her.

Davis Clayton has hungered for Lauren to the point of desperation. When he sees Lauren with her latest victim, he’s had enough of chasing the little blonde submissive. He’s done playing the fool over her. But keeping his distance is proving a test for even as one of the strongest of Masters, until Lauren comes to him for protection from her stalker. When she asks him to pose as her Dom to keep the other man at bay, he agrees but on his terms. He may be one of the most Reluctant Masters in New Beginnings, but he will have her submission in exchange.

Review by WotRMomma Julia with permission from her daughter Madi

Davis has always had an interest in Lauren, but as the most difficult Sub at the club, she’s hard to pin down. They both have their play partners, but no one that is theirs. No one can claim Lauren, until she needs help. Davis will help her but on his terms, and she has to do what he tells her, or all bets are off. Pretty tall order for Hurricane Lauren who doesn’t follow rules! But she does need Davis’s protection, And in the process, they also save another. I loved this story, and would recommend the whole series that get’s you to this point!

Shrouded Desires (Redemption Book 1) by [Dakota  Trace ]

Sometimes life throws you lemons, or in this case a best friend who has a heart attack.

Storm Parkers is at the top of his game. He’s the star wide receiver for one of the newest expansion teams in the league. He’s got a hot little Italian submissive that has agreed to no strings sex, and it’s finally off-season. Which means all he has to do is sit back, enjoy his time off and indulge in some of his…baser needs. That all changes in the blink of an eye with one phone call. Max had a heart attack. Now he’s dealing with a pissed off former lover, a best friend/business partner in the hospital, and a mouthy sub who lives on premises of his newest business endeavor. But he was a dominant…he could handle it, right?

Whoever said make lemonade, needs a trip over the nearest spanking bench.

Raine Donovan is no stranger when it comes to struggles. Most days he’s a hot mess, unless surrounded by either numbers or his best friend, Lizzie or her Master husband Max. Which is why he lives on premise in Max’s BDSM club. Within the safe walls of Redemption, he could escape his debilitating social anxiety, his self-harming tendencies and life in general. Which is why his whole world is turned upside down when Max has a heart attack. Now, he’s leaving his sanctuary for trips to the hospital, dealing with staffing issues and an asshole dominant who thinks he’s in charge. But he’s a strong submissive…he could handle it, right?

#WOTR21 #Erotica #TwinsieForTheDayJulia – The Little Next Door (The Hidden Little Secrets Book 1) by Dakota Trace

The Little Next Door (The Hidden Little Secrets, #1)

They say some things hide in plain sight – particularly the thing you desire the most. Ethan Ramsay had known for years that there was a special someone out there for him – a Little who needed him above all others – he just hadn’t expected her to have lived next door to him for half of his life. As a protector who’d been burned in the past, he’s not quite ready to wager on a good outcome to Sloan’s sudden reappearance, but how can he turn away the vulnerable Little he senses lurking behind her troubled eyes?

Sloan Kettering was a woman down on her luck – all because she’d dared to put on paper what she longed for the most. Now, homeless, jobless and ready to throw the towel in, she gambles one last time on the boy next door. Or rather the man he’d become. Chef Ethan Ramsay may have been her childhood friend, but Sloan wasn’t sure how to deal with the man he’d become. Every part of her imagined what it would be like to have a Daddy Dom, but could she handle the reality of Ethan’s brand of dominance?

Publisher’s Warning: The Little Next Door includes spankings, sexual scenes, age play, naughty uses of chocolate and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Review by Julia AKA WOTRMomma

Sloan is homeless and living with her Grandma. Ethan is her old next door neighbor, who she grew up with. Years later and Ethan knowing her circumstances, offers her a job. But Ethan knows other things about Sloan too. And he will be the one to show her the way! This was a Great Story, well written and thought out by Dakota Trace. For a first step into a new genre, she did well!

#WOTR20 #AuthorSpotlight – Dakota Trace

Dakota Trace

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hi all! I’m Dakota Trace, and I’m a multi-genre erotic romance author. I write spicy to sizzling tales of love. I usually write BDSM, Menage and dabble in Paranormal tales, but have recently branched out to include ageplay and M/M/F as well to my repertoire. When I’m not writing, I putt around the yard, garden, chase after my grandson, cook and lets not forget read. (God, do I love to read!). Oh yeah, I’m also the mom of three uniquely crazy kids. Ranging from 16-24, they have taught me nothing in life is ever black or white.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

I have to have music, coffee/soda and WRITE or DIE (a writing tool that I use for sprinting). Location isn’t all that important. I’ve written at the local library, my living room, my kitchen, bedroom, a nearby McDonalds, even the breakroom at the EDJ.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

Talking shop with the other authors, and meeting the readers. I get to switch from Nana mode to author/reader mode. I just love books – both reading and writing them.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Well that’s hard to say. Depending upon the genre I have several but at the top of my list is Evangeline Anderson and Lorann Dohner. Ooooo, can’t forget Lora Leigh and Shelly Laurenston either. 😀

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

I usually write in the evenings during the week, since I work daytime hours. On the weekends/days off it’s an all day thing. (Basically anytime I can squeeze in around Nana duties and housework)

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

Favorite Memory? Probably my first time at a true signing. (That would’ve been WOTR15) It gave me the signing bug and I had such a fun time. I got to meet Pauline Allen, and all the great ladies of WOTR.

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

My copy of Lora Leigh’s Tempting the Breed. It was my first erotic romance I ever purchased. I bought it when it was brand new from Barnes and Noble. I’ve probably read it over three dozen times in the past sixteen years. Even after my divorce and subsequent moves, I still have my now battered copy sitting on my bedside table.

Dakota Trace

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Dakota Trace. I’m a mom of three, and a Nana to one little feisty peanut. When I’m not working retail as a department manager, I’m usually gardening, reading and writing Erotic Romance.

Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?

In the living room (that way I can keep an eye on the boy) and I must have Coffee and something salty to snack on. Cashews or corn chips usually work.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

Talking with the other authors and readers. I get to meet so many new peeps. And the food at the afterparty! It ranks right up there with the people.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Ah, Laurann Dohner or Angela Knight.

What author would you love to write with?

Either of the above. 😀

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

The first time a person came up to me at my day job and was like…hey aren’t you, Dakota Trace? It thrilled me that someone actually recognized me.
