This book has the same plot line as the book before. A little boring at time, but I liked the ranch scenes.

This is the strongest Brutal Birthright book so far! I loved Riona and Raylan. They have great banter with their grumpy sunshine vibes in the midst of a mafia/bodyguard romance. I loved the complexities of Riona and the sweetness of Raylan they balanced each other out so well. This is perfect for fans of small town cowboy romances but with a side of action. I definitely recommend this book!

Sophie really said ”save a horse, ride a cowboy” in this one babes 🤠🔥

I freakin loved this installment of the Brutal Birthright series! In the previous books, we got to see bits of Riona in passing so I was interested to get to know more of her character in this book. Riona is the type of person with a permanent RBF, cold exterior who doesn't let anyone see her true emotions. Raylan has a smart mouth and is first introduced in Bloody Heart, when Dante Gallo enlists the help of his very meticulous military training to rescue Dante's beloved. When our characters (R&R) first meet, we see his snarky sarcasm as a complete turnoff for the ever poised Riona Griffin.

Fast forward to Broken Vow and Raylan has been hired by the Griffin/Gallo mob Family to serve as Riona's personal bodyguard when she barely escapes with her life after being attacked.

Seeing the brief introduction of these two characters in the previous book, I knew that this book would have lots of tension and delicious angst. Miss Sophie did not hold back on that front ya'll, trust me. The amazing chemistry between Riona and Raylan led to a big payoff! I won't be able to stop thinking about all the spiciness in here.. the stream & the barn scenes?! I just— 🥵😮‍💨

anyways read this book. READ THIS SERIES, thank me later.

Giddy up, here I come baby Seb!

5 STARS THIS WAS GREAT AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. Holy shirt Raylan was so forking hot. Also this plot had what Nero’s book wanted to have 11/10 freaking AMAZING. 

Barn scene?? Yeah that’s gonna live in my head rent free for a while. (And apparently Mr Lark said he realized Sophie borrows when he read this scene🤭 I love them) 

Do I have a boyfriend? Of course not, but if I did he would be dumped just for not being Raylan. 

Also the way Riona talked about men in her head reminded me of me and although I wouldn’t say I’m similar in personality to her I thought it was so funny to have that in common with her. I was reading that and going “YEAH EXACTLY!!!!”
