A few weeks ago I saw character art for a book by an author Iโ€™d never read that made me perk up immediately. I got excited, but wanted to make sure I liked her writing first before I got all gitty over a new release. All I can say now is let the countdown to book 2 begin!

๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: When I say I wanted to read this to vet if I liked Elliot Roseโ€™s writing, it was for a few reasons. Forbidden romance is an acquired taste - as is a giant age gap. But I really enjoyed how this was done, and canโ€™t wait for the next one.

Colt was alllllll daddy vibes. Heโ€™s in his 40s and a complete loner on the mountain at his ranch. I loved how Layla got under his skin immediately. His POV from the start was all brute longing, and I was here for it.

There was a tinge of darkness to this one - danger and tense moments, and the spice was really spicing. If youโ€™re a fan of dirty talkโ€ฆ Colt could win a medal. The whole remote mountain winter setting really added to the vibe here.

Bottom line, Iโ€™m sticking around for the second book - happily.
