Thank you netgalley for an ARC of this book! :)
This was a cute little light romance with such a beautiful setting! I've been to greece before and this just brought back so many memories. I loved both of our MC's and honestly anytime a story has a nosey grandma/god mother, it just makes it even better!

oh my god. i thought chasing the wild was somethin, but THIS. now this... was something! Starting my month off strong, and with a banger! ♥
First off, its a very spicy book full of some very fun taboo things so please keep that in mind before picking this up. BUT if that doesnt bother you, lets dig in.
Second, thank you Luna Literary and of course Elliott Rose for allowing me the honor of reading this arc! I fell in love with Crimson Ridge this summer and have been eager to return ever since :)
This book was everything i wanted and then some. There is somehow more spice in this book than chasing the wild, and it threw me in for a loop. I knew there was the free use trope, and i was really curious how that would play out since ive never read a book with that involved. I would even dare say it was the main trope, and a huge focus on the connection our two mc's had.
The obvious taboo nature of their relationship was also a huge factor as expected, and it was mentioned several times. It almost felt like it was mentioned too many times? Like we get it girl, ur fucking ur uncle who isnt ur uncle :") but regardless, it didnt have a negative impact on my rating.
The tension that is shown between our two mcs was so steamy from the start you could burn yourself if you arent careful... but once they accepted it BOY did they jump in. Towards the latter half of the book i did feel almost like the smut overtook the plot when it came to our fmcs main issue and through her sped up resolution. I wish we had a bit more time to learn about her relationship with her sister, the ex, and even the parents of the 3rd person involved there. (No spoilers, sorry). We didnt really get to hear any details or developments on that end, and it did feel a bit rushed? The ending was very sweet and satisfying so it made up for it.
We didnt get to learn as much about Beau as i wanted, knowing he will be our super star for the 3rd book... but in a way that makes me more excited :) The banter between him and Storm was SO funny. I was laughing outloud during the epilogue, like fully belly laughs. The banter in general through the book was good. And i was happy to see Colt and Layla make a return as well.
Normally i dont like writing long reviews, but i just love this series so far, and i love Elliotts writing so it just sorta happened. TLDR, read this if you dont mind a good steamy cowboy story. Storm is a hunky fella and deserves some love. I also will recommend Chasing the Wild to learn about daddy Colt while you're here! :)
