final thoughts: this book was SO GOOD! Maggie Rawdon doesn’t miss with her characters, storylines, and THE TWISTS with this book! I felt strong emotions for all the characters- love, hate, frustration, everything! This was a very emotional read and I love the mix of cowboy, dark, and football. It was definitely one of the best suspense/mystery romances I’ve read in a while.
