OK Folks, here it is (I feel like a drum roll might be in order)… the second book in the Whispering Pines Ranch series by SJD Peterson… Quinn’s Need… finally… I really needed to read this…
in fact, I was waiting for it from the moment I finished the final page of the
first book in the series.


Quinn had sulked for months – Peterson’s description of his
scowling creates a vivid image of the lonely man - before he found an outlet
for his misery at the local “leather daddy” club, The Push. There Quinn can
dominate others to gain control over his own feelings of weakness – not necessarily
the right reason for participating in bdsm – until he meets up with a sub that
comes to mean something to him. Quinn comes to realize he doesn’t whip subs for
mutual pleasure but rather beats on them simply because he can. When Ty
leads Quinn towards discovering the true world of bdsm, Quinn learns how to
fulfill himself and care for another person. Quinn's Need balances erotically charged scenes with multi-faceted
depth so that each scene, sexual or otherwise, seems necessary.
When there’s accident, Quinn uses his newfound
self-discovery – recognizing he needs to be the man he is meant to be – and becomes
someone Lorcan can rely on. They strike a delicate balance and things seem
nearly perfect. It almost seems possible for Quinn, Lorcan, and Jess to develop
into a relationship until more twists lead readers in another direction.
At its basic level, this is an erotic story of forbidden
desires. But then you begin peeling away the layers of desires, sacrifices and
honor to realize that Peterson’s books are an emotional journey. The characters
are depicted with all the realism of a true human with all their idiosyncrasies.
In Quinn’s Need, readers encounter
unexpected twists that challenge your beliefs and yet leave you with a
satisfying ending. By the end, I had my closure.
RATING: 5 Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries
This book was given to us through NETGALLEY. Many thanks.
Great review! I felt exactly the same way about Quinn's Need being more of the end of Lorcan's Desire than a sequel. I can hardly wait for Ty's Obsession and Conner & John's story after that. Those old men are my favorite characters in the series. I'm right behind you in my reviews with Lorcan's book 1/25, Quinn's on 1/29, and Ty's 2/3. http://www.mrsconditreadsbooks.com
