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

i’m pretty disappointed i just really thought i’d like it more from the build up in the last book but i ended up barely caring about the MCs. i did like the side plot a lot and i KNEW
uncle oran was sus before they left for raylan’s ranch
so it was a satisfying reveal. beyond that this was a chore to get through and it’s making me dread the last book.

 i didn’t like the way riona’s character was dealt with either - the fact that
she ended up moving to tennessee for him and abandoning the job she’d grafted so hard for
felt like the opposite of a happy ever after. dante joking about
her changing her mind about wanting kids
left a bad taste in my mouth too. 

beyond that their relationship didn’t really feel believable or click with me so i just wasn’t invested in them in the slightest i actually would’ve preferred for
them to have stayed broken up
if i’m honest i would’ve been more satisfied had it ended that way.

I enjoyed this book but obviously the usual i got a little anxiety but this book was different it felt less tense than the last one’s for me and it actually felt more how do i put it it felt more genuine i mean the description of the feelings in this book were so cute you get allot of emotion in this book and its more happy then sad plus I've never read a book with a country boy/girl main character so that was new for me and i enjoyed it i honestly enjoyed this book more than i thought i would i knew i would like it but i didn't know i would really enjoy it like i did i do still favor Stolen heir out of all of them so far and in the book i was so happy for the ending were you see all the other couples and parents and familys from the previous books in the brutal birthrights series i got the illustrations edition and i loved that family picture of the Griffins and Gallos in the beginning that was cute overall i rated this book 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

to be honest i thought i wasn’t gonna like this book at the beginning cause of the racial comments dean made and that does factor into this but i really liked their relationship the way she opens herself up to him is amazing

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!!!!”

I really liked this one. Usually I feel like romance series end up falling into the same patterns a couple books in, but all of these books have felt different from each other. I really appreciate how the ending was handled…
how Riona still kept her career and still doesn’t want kids. I was afraid she was going to end up pregnant or give up her life completely to be with him.
 
Im interested to see where this next one goes since its been built up to since book 1.
