📖 Bull Rush was one of my fav reads of 2024 and Dark Horse is one of my fav reads of 2025 so far! My expectations were pretty high after loving Ramsey and Hazel so much, and Maggie did not disappoint! Grant and Dakota were absolute perfection. Grant is the epitome of hot mafia cowboy who will do anything to protect those he loves. Dakota is a fierce, independent woman who has been doing everything she can to make her own way in the world. When she makes a deal with the devil things only get better for everyone! Holy hell they were absolute fire together, the sexting, the toys, and all the spicy scenes were 🔥🔥🔥 They may have been a little slower burn on the feelings side, but damn they were pretty swoony. I really enjoyed the ongoing plot line from Bull Rush and I’m looking forward to see how that will continue with Levi! This was an absolute banger and a must read!
