Bull Rush by Maggie Rawdon

4.0

Maggie Rawdon's Bull Rush is a standalone set in the world of her popular Queen City Series. While it can be enjoyed independently, readers familiar with the series, particularly Mine to Gain, will appreciate the added depth and context given to Ramsey's character.

This dark western romance focuses on Ramsey, a man haunted by his past. His story is filled with twists and turns, keeping readers engaged from beginning to end. The divorce-of-convenience trope, a new experience for me, was executed brilliantly and added a unique dynamic to the story. It also focuses on Hazel who is the a bold, strong, and independent ex-wife of Ramsey.

Ramsey and Hazel are well-developed and I enjoyed their growth throughout the story. The plot is filled with twists and turns, that had me captivated and engaged in the story. Hazel and Ramsey had great banter as well as emotionally heartwarming moments. These two had a deep connection and trust in one another that really made them perfect for each other. Their love story had so many layers and I loved how each layer got peeled back and the reader go a peak into the push and pull of their love story.

If you enjoy dark western romances, hate-to-love relationships, small-town settings, and second-chance love, Bull Rush is a must-read. Maggie Rawdon's storytelling skills shine in this book. I can't wait for more!

I am so lucky to have received this book as an ARC. Thank you Maggie Rawdon and Wordsmith Publicity for the ARC. I voluntarily read it and gave an honest review.
