You know, I think this year is my dark romance era!! And L Eveland writes fantastic dark romance!
From the blurb:
RANSOM
My job is to settle the score when the law turns its back. I don't talk much. I don't fuck strangers. I sure as hell don't trust a Texas Ranger who shows up on my land with a dead judge at his feet and a smile like he's already won.
Winston Valverde was supposed to be a problem I made disappear.
I'm starting to think he's going to be a problem I can't let go of.
WINSTON
I walked onto Pae Saco looking for a killer. I found one.
I just hadn't counted on wanting him to put his hands on me.
Ransom Lanza is dangerous in a way I've only seen a handful of times in my career. He's quiet. He's loyal. He'll burn the world down for the people he loves, and he doesn't care who's watching.
He thinks he can kill me. He doesn't know yet that I'm already under his skin.
One way or another, that man is mine and I'm going to make damn sure he knows it.
Ransom is a dark mm romance set on a ranch in New Mexico between a ranch enforcer and a Texas ranger. The land is hot and unforgiving, and so are the men who live there. Expect steamy insta-obsession, forced proximity, and unapologetically morally gray men. This is book 1 in the Dust Devils series. Each book follows a different couple.
Angel's review:
I've read a few of L Eveland's books now and let's just say I'm hooked! I really enjoy L's storytelling ability, and I also find it fascinating that they can write a dark book full of murder, mystery, and action, and it still be sweet and full of romance.
Ransom isn't a fluffy romance story, though I do enjoy those too, but this is raw, gritty, dark, and at times a bit vicious. As mentioned above I really enjoy the way L writes their stories, they have a way with words that is so detailed that their worlds become almost immersive. This book is set in the desert/mountains, on a ranch with workhands that society looks down upon.. That ranch is their home and the people and animals become their family.
Despite all the murder and attempted murder going around the found family aspect along with the romance between Ransom and his Ranger helped add that sweetness to the story that I mentioned above. This book was fantastic and a very enjoyable book to read!
I also LOVED the side characters!! They are all so unique and have their own personalities and quirks and I'm so excited to read more about them. Also, that ending?!? I am so excited to read about what happens next in this brutal yet beautiful world, I cannot wait for book two!!!
