Review: Picture Perfect Cowboy (The Original Sinners #10) by Tiffany Reisz

Print Length: 233 pages

Publisher: 8th Circle Press (November 5, 2018)

From Goodreads.com: Jason "Still" Waters' life looks perfect from the outside—money, fame, and the words "World Champion Bull-Rider" after his name. But Jason has a secret, one he never planned on telling anybody...until he meets Simone. She's the kinky girl of his dreams...and his conservative family's worst nightmare.

"Picture Perfect Cowboy" is a standalone erotic romance from Tiffany Reisz, set in her bestselling Original Sinners series. An abridged version was previously published in "Exposed: A Romance Anthology" as the novella "The Watermark."

My Rating: 3 stars out of 5

While I definitely enjoyed this story, I did feel like there was something missing. Maybe it was too short? Maybe I expected too much having been a fan of the Original Sinners since the beginning? 

Jason and Simone were both undeniably interesting and complex characters. I enjoyed how they opened up to each other and how she helped him to embrace what he was. I do wish we could have seen more of her actually "winning over" his ultra-conservative family. Maybe that was it - we didn't really see much growth between these two. They went from strangers to lovers to being "in love" in the span of about a week. And while I am not against love at first sight, I do enjoy seeing certain obstacles actually being overcome in "real time" and not just reading about them after the fact. Simone definitely had a long road ahead of her winning over the Waters family, but I know she was up to the task. 

There were a lot of romantic moments in this story, and I loved the appearance of Nora and Søren, so overall I do think this story will appeal to long-time fans of the series. For a first time reader? This may be a hit or miss, but I would definitely recommend that they pick up The Siren (Original Sinners #01), or even another in the series so that they can fully experience what a gifted author Mistress Tiffany is. I would definitely read more from this author!
