❥Dark cowboy romance

❥He falls first

❥Suspense

Deacon shows up a mysterious, broody MMC with a dark past. Freya is young but scarred from her life with her stepfather and stepbrothers. Deacon sees Freya at work and knows instantly she’s his and I love that he did whatever he wanted to make that happen. Freya was shy and timid but grew into herself as their story progressed. This was probably my favorite of this series so far! These two fit together so easily and needed each other in different ways. I loved Freya’s reaction to Deacon’s less than honest ways and the lengths he went to keep her. The other couples showing back up in this one was a fun touch and I can’t wait for more!
