Iโ€™m in my dark cowboy romance era, and Maggie Rawdonโ€™s newest release scratched that itch, babies.

I met Maggie Rawdon at a signing event earlier this year. Iโ€™ve always been drawn to her books, but always put them off. I got approved for this ARC and kind of shrugged my shoulders, viewing it as an opportunity to get into her writing FINALLY.

You know those books you know are a 5-star read before you even finish them? This was one of those.

Ramsayโ€ฆ heโ€™s a felon, a murderer, a football player (lol) and heโ€™s obsessed with his wife. Him and Hazel are all fiery passion. The spice in this book is next level, and both characters are hard not to love, especially together. 

Maggie Rawdon also made enough awesome side characters that I had to actually slide into her DMs and ask whatโ€™s next. Spoilerโ€ฆ something - but I didnโ€™t get details.
