This one was definitely my favourite of the Brutal Birthright series so far. This one is about Riona Griffin, a bad Bish lawyer of the Griffin family. She's Callum's younger sister. Throughout the series I thought I wasn't going to like her because she seemed like kind of the Stuck up, workaholic and unemotional but Dante's book brought her out more and I actually started liking her. In this book, we learn her reasons for being a perfectionist+++ and why she's so hard on everyone/herself. When there's a murder attempt on her, Dante's old sniperbuddy Raylan comes in to be het bodyguard until the suspect is found. Raylan is originally a rancher from Tennessee and he never lost his southern charm, not in the army nor in his mercenary group. Riona can't stand him and the way he makes her feel like she has no control. She's no weak little housewife who needs protecting from a man. But, maybe being protected isn't equal to being weak, and maybe letting someone else take the lead isn't the worst thing after all.
I really, really enjoyed this one! I loveeed seeing more of the family interactions, especially Dante coming back a bit more. Riona and Raylan felt very fleshed out. Raylan his history with his parents was something I could relate to so it was nice and interesting to read about it this way. I do think this was probably the least mafia one so far. Riona is not one on the offence and it was mostly Cal and Dante in the background doing the gruntwork. Raylan is 🤤🤤 aND HE RIDES HORSES?!?!? pls <3 though some of it was a lil cringe x). Riona was a bad bitch through and through and I love how she grew into her love for Raylan in the end! Bless. I'm suuuuper curious for the next book with Sebastian, since we haven't see much of him yet.
