$6.5
Categories: BDSM, Contemporary

This reviewer's rating: 5 - Outstanding

As far as I am concerned, Ms Rainier cannot put a foot wrong (or a fingertip wrong on her keyboard). In Bunny and the Beast she has created yet another heart-warming, tender, and funny story with all her trademark passionate and adventurous sex scenes. This is another favourite and one that I will read again and again and again. Thank you Ms Rainer. Don't ever stop writing.

This reviewer's rating: 5 - Outstanding

Bunny is one of those women whose need to be independent has grown out of the necessities of life and the loyalties to those who are her only family--her grandmother and her brother. Abandoned emotionally by her father after his second marriage and abused by her stepmother and step siblings, Bunny had learned to walk a solitary life and keep her own counsel. Yet her encounters with the BDSM master who is the proprietor of Hazelle House has her emotionally on the edge and looking inward to see if perhaps she has short changed herself in her efforts to see to the needs of others. It is a wonderful story of kindness and caring mixed in with some basic kink that has the reader watching with bated breath as Bunny begins to see herself through a different set of lenses, begins to understand that her values and those that have driven her life choices are as broken as her spirit. He pluck and fierce protective stance regarding those she loves engages the master and he is determined to help Bunny see herself as a beautiful and authentic human being, even if it means that his own desires to have her in his life don't materialize. It is an emotional and heart wrenching read in many ways, but it is also a story that will resonate with many of us whose self esteem has taken a beating at times in our lives. I highly recommend it for that reason as well as for the fact that Ms Rainier writes with that sense of realism that draws all of us to a really good book

This book is so hilarious, I was in stitches! OMG, when Bunny first went to Hazelle House, I about busted a gut! I love Bunny's sassy mouth!!! And Samson... he has got to be my favorite side character. LOL Heather, you have the best books!! Very interesting the way you ended the book. Just maybe a hint of who might be in the next book. Didn't see that one coming. Loved it!!!! Thank you SO MUCH! I can't wait for the next adventure in Divine!

There is so much I could say about this book. I loved how the characters interacted with 1 another whether it was just to say hi or more in depth. Loved how Bunny handled herself with the way some of the women treated her. She never let it get her down. Loved how Joseph treated her from the beginning to the end. Yes I laughed out loud, wanted to reach in and slap a bitch a time or 2, and even wanted to cry. Miss Heather you did it again can't wait to see what happens next in Divine.

Marie's Tempting Reads Review: To say I loved Bunny And The Beast would be putting it mildly. More like this book ROCKED THE EVER LOVING HELL OUT OF ME! Bunny was outrageously fun, sweet, sassy, and just such a spirited woman and a surprisingly delightful submissive. Joseph was patient, sexy, caring, and enjoyed his spunky sub. Watching the sparks fly between these two was a whole lot of fun to behold as they each discovered things about themselves that were pretty freaking amazing, if you ask me. The fact that we get a more playful book about BDSM was something I really enjoyed. Even though I LOVE me some BDSM, some books are so strict in the lifestyle that it sometimes can be a bit intimidating, so I was thoroughly pleased to see that Heather Rainier wrote a romance with BDSM that isn't intimidating, but fun and enjoyable and just plain irresistible. Miss Rainier's writing is pure amazing and the story beautifully written with charming characters and a place that is intriguing and scrumptious. Bunny And The Beast is the perfect blend of erotic and sexy with just the right amount of kink to make things sizzle. I adore these Divine Creek stories and devour them way too fast in my opinion, but its just too dang hard to resist! I didn't even have to hesitate at giving this romance a SENSUALLY CHARGED FIVE SHOOTING STARS! Its sexy as all get out and pure fun. A MUST HAVE READ FOR SURE!

Having read all the preceding books in this series, I was excited to continue my reading journey with the citizens of this fictional community. I know that most of Heather's characters have been present in previous novels in one way or another, but I have to admit to not having paid much attention to them as they were not very familiar to me. This short novel is different from the others in that it is centered around a single event that took place over the course of a single weekend. The men are like many in Divine: looking for a special woman who can fulfill their vision of a love relationship even as they meet her particular needs. These brothers also have their own specific fantasies about a gal who is open to their kind of loving, whose submissive spirit is open to the power exchange that fuels their fantasies. This is a story that brings three people together whose needs seem very different yet are far more alike than even they realize. It is also about being open to change that may be radical but which can finally allow one's heart and life to be complete. If BDSM is not your thing, even in this mild presentation, then this book is not for you. However, like all of Heather's books, it is filled with the kind of sexy, erotic, but authentic loving most of us find truly satisfying. Heather continues to hone her writing skills and they just keep on getting better and better. Do yourself a favor and don't miss this or any of the stories in this series. I have started over and intend to read them all again.

Heather Rainier, this book was so good!! I laughed out loud AT LEAST 5 times and had so much fun living vicariously through a weekend at Hazelle House! Violet certainly made the tough choice in breaking up with Brody and letting go of the "familiar." That leap is always hard, but the best things happen when we open ourselves up and see our own worth! I REALLY loved it! Thank you!!

Lumberjack Weekend is a smoking hot, honey sweet, gigglesnorting funny addition to Heather Rainier's Divine Creek Ranch Series. Ms. Rainier writes in a way that the reader is immediately connected to the characters and Divine. Violet is NOT just a character in a book to me...she's my friend...along with Lucas and Josh. Every new book I feel like I'm getting to go back and visit with my Divine friends! I love how Ms. Rainier includes previous book characters in her new releases and let us keep up with our old friends. Knowing that Bunny's book is next just makes me giggle...can't wait to see what she stirs up! As always....I am in awe of Ms. Rainier and am so thankful that she decided to gift the world with her brilliant writing!

OMG! Thank you Heather Rainier for another beautiful story!! It was soooo worth the wait! Sometimes, I laughed so hard my family thought I had totally lost it. I loved Tex!! And other times I had to keep a Kleenex handy for the emotional parts. I love your books so, so much because they are put together so well and totally HOT!. I know when I start one of your stories, I will be able to escape into my own little world and be totally entertained for hours. Awesome Job!!!

Lumberjack Weekend was FREAKING HOT HOT HOT!!! I loved Joseph's mansion and the fantasy weekend was fun, sexy, and just plain DELICIOUS!! I loved getting a glimpse of Joseph and Bunny, especially since their book i s up next. Josh and Lucas were wonderful to Violet and she definitely deserved the attention and love they gave her during the Fantasy Weekend and after. This story was so much fun reading and I am SO excited about September and the next book, Bunny and The Beast! If you love your books with lots of kink, romance, love, and affection, then you will definitely be happy with Heather Rainier's Divine Creek Ranch Series.
