Braving the Storm

Crimson Ridge, Book 2

De: Elliott Rose

Narrado por: Gabriel Spires, Amy Hall

I'm not supposed to feel this way…

I never wanted to disappear more than while around my family. Briar Lane, the girl only useful for one thing: my surname. A business handshake and pawn to be traded. My father's chess piece shuffled between empires.

That was my life back in L.A., but all it took was finding the dirty secret stuffed in a jacket pocket, and my entire world unraveled.

So, I fled to the one place I knew they could never find me: Crimson Ridge.

Arriving in this snowy, harsh world, I thought I'd be starting over on my own, but it turns out I couldn't have been more wrong. The abandoned mountain cabin I inherited isn't what it seems.

This mountain hides secrets. An ex-pro bull rider consumes this space, and now, my every thought with it... Stôrmand Lane. My father's adopted brother.

We should never have found ourselves isolated out here in the mountains together, each trying to outrun our pasts.

All it took was one misunderstanding, one line almost crossed, and everything changed.

A girl like me isn't supposed to know what those tattooed hands feel like, and I'm certainly not meant to feel butterflies anytime that pair of piercing blue eyes land on mine.

He might be my every fantasy, a cowboy I constantly dream about, but he's a temptation I have to ignore. A man I absolutely cannot find myself attracted to.

Even when he's looking at me with the kind of hunger that can only spell ruin for us both.

Long, dark nights spent in this tiny cabin can't be the excuse to step into forbidden territory.

Or can they?

Whoa! Be ready to listen to this book all when you download it not in public. Lol

My new favorite book

I thought chasing the wild was great, this is even better! Elliot Rose really knows how to write an incredible cowboy romance.

The actors were fantastic!

Holy Hot! I cannot get enough of Storm and Briar and they will live rent free in my head. I was 2% and already in love with Stôrmand Lane. I loved their physical chemistry and budding relationship from the start. Between Storm’s dirty mouth to Briar’s sexual awakening, they created a wonderfully steamy storyline. Briar really came into her own as the book progressed and fought the things that had been dimming her light in her past. I love a good taboo romance and this was everything I was hoping for and more. This book pulled me straight into the cowboy era and I am not sure what to do with myself. I loved their characters in the book and desperately regret not reading Chasing the Wild yet. MUST READ!

The actors voices were both incredibly soothing and easy to listen to. I loved the way these characters came to life. The acting was fantastic!

Not enough stars exist

Yall: this book! I have been waiting for this & let me tell you- it did not disappoint! The story is fire. The spice is FIRE. Like once it gets going, hold on to your cowboy hat. 🤠 This is giving Credence x Cowboys. 🌶️

We shouldn’t, but we did!

This book sizzled from page one, and I devoured it. Set in a small town where everyone knows your name—and your business—this story is related not by blood by adoption. His niece and him being the rugged, broody, emotionally wounded uncle (yeah, I said what I said) who find themselves tangled in a connection that’s as taboo as it is.

what took this story from a guilty-pleasure romp to a full-body book hangover was the emotional depth. Underneath the sinfully hot scenes (and trust me, they’re graphic in the best way), there’s a tender exploration of self-worth, the freedom to be fully yourself, and the kind of love that doesn’t ask you to change—just to come as you are.

Fun, filthy, and surprisingly sweet. I regret nothing.

Tropes:
• Forbidden
• Age gap
• Found self-worth & redemption
• Small town steam

Spice: 4/5

Great Western Romance
