First and foremost, a thousand forehead kisses to Kensington for blessing me with this arc! I will be forever be thankful š«¶
I canāt believe we have reached the end of the Crimson Ridge series, but ending it with Kayce and Raineās story was perfect. At the very beginning of this series, weāre were introduced to Kayce Wilder as Laylaās loser ex boyfriend. What we didnāt know was all the trauma heās kept bottled up and how much heās truly been suffering. However, heās been working on getting his life back together by quitting alcohol and mending his relationships with those around him while also trying to come to terms with his sexuality.
Enter Raine: the broody and grumpy cowboy whoās recently arrived in town for a job. And he also happens to be Kayceās stepbrother that he hasnāt seen in years. Itās a surprise to them both when they run into each other and from there, you can feel how much they despise one another. Their relationship really is a rivals to lovers/hate to love and Elliott did a phenomenal job. There was so much build up between these two. The angst? The tension? Kayce is so conflicted because while he is trying to hate Raine, he also canāt help his growing attraction to him. To the one man he absolutely shouldnāt be attracted to. Yet, there is this connection between them that is undeniable. And when they finally give in? š®āšØ Raine has a mouth on him and I am here for it.
As their relationship develops, we also start to see a different side of Raine. While he has this hard and grumpy exterior, he is soft for our sweet boy, Kayce. He cares so much for him and wants to help Kayce, but also knows when to take a step back. That Kayce needs to want to help himself and he canāt push him to do it.
I felt all the emotions for these two and adore their relationship. Kayce had so much growth and I absolutely loved seeing him finally get his HEA. I think itās safe to say I will be continuously thinking about this book and I truly cannot recommend this one enough š¤
Thank you so much again to Kensington Publishing for this arc!!
