wow this was such a surprise! i love a good FBI show so i was hoping this would give me the same action, suspense, and plot twists that i get out of those and this delivered on everything. we follow fbi agent daniela vega - AN ICON, A BADASS, THAT BITCH - as she goes undercover on a dangerous mission to figure out who's behind an assassination attempt on a senator. this went in a completely different direction than i thought it would and i had such a fun time with the story.
i loved all the technical aspects of this book! the author included such a fantastic insider perspective on how cases like these are handled within the fbi. and i was gaggggged at the twist in the end. i am so excited to continue on with the series!

OH OKAY. this was magical, adventurous, whimsical, beautiful, and lovely. a story that explores the gravity of choices and having to live with them, to decide whether to go on while carrying regrets or letting them go. i absolutely adored the writing - the different worlds and mythological elements were described vividly, the imagery was stunning. i fell in love with the characters of this book, how their flaws made them perfect to keep that emotional depth within a fast paced plot. also the unexpected romance in this plot? ate it up. incredible!!!!!

me and dark romance are sooo back together.
idk what it was about this author’s writing but i could not fucking stop reading.
this was toxic, unhinged, insane, and i ate it the fuck up. giving very much if i can’t have her, NO ONE WILL.

okay first of all, this cover????? stunning and i need him biblically lol
baby i ate this book up. a romance between a wildfire firefighter, callahan, and an EMT, scottie, who work together in the same small town. this was a WILD journey, like i had no idea where it was going to go but i ended up having a blast. callahan and scottie had such great chemistry. their playful banter and flirting had me giggling and kicking my feet! did i think they had sex way too soon? yes. but that built their casual situationship which added to the DRAMA. there was a...first act breakup? which i enjoyed because then they spent the rest of the book working through their issues and when i tell you these two went AT IT. they went from friends to lovers to enemies real quick. and i'm not mad about it!
i do think that cal didn't grovel enough to my standards. he definitely could have worked harder to make up for the way he treated scottie. i mean, these two had such awful histories and trauma they needed to work through and the way they both acted definitely showed that. but when the truth behind scottie's past came out...girl i'm telling you, this book had DRAMA. MESS. SCANDAL. i truly wasn't expecting it all. i ate it the fuck up.
in the end, seeing cal fight for scottie, his WOMAN?? yeah i'd be on my knees for this man lmao. food would be on the table, dishes would be clean, floors mopped. oh my god and they were a childfree by choice couple!!! yes please!!!! this was so good!

i liked this dark taboo cowboy romance for what it was. this was a romance between layla, who is studying to become a vet, and colt, a ranch owner. colt also happens to be layla's ex-boyfriend's dad. and my GOD the man was a grumpiest older man i've ever read and if i ever met him, i too, would be on my fucking hands and knees. the mouth on this man? WOW.
i did think this was a lot longer than it needed to be. and it was slow in terms of both the romance and the plot - however that did increase the tension between layla and colt which i enjoyed, but in terms of the plot, nothing really happened. some parts i felt dragged on.
i appreciated the time and effort the author put into describing what day to day life on an isolated ranch like the one colt had was like. could some of it have been cut down? for sure.
also yay for a childfree by choice FMC!!!
