Summary:
My plan was to visit my boyfriend back home in Crimson Ridge for the holidays. Except, my surprise trip, after shutting up my florist shop for the festive season, only ended up revealing the worst kind of betrayal.
Now, Iโm hiding from the guy I just caught cheating on me, while stranded with a flat tire and a snowstorm approaching.
All it took was a slip of my thumb, a press of the wrong contact name in my phone.
Instead of dialing my best friend for help, I accidentally called my life-long cowboy crush… My best friendโs father.
Lucas Rhodes is a man I havenโt seen in twelve months. Not since last New Yearโs Eve when he drove me homeโฆ alone. If we get snowed in together on his ranch tonight, how am I supposed to resist my every teenage fantasy when heโs looking at me like that?
My Thoughts:
Pop my tire and strand in Crimson Ridge during a snowstorm because I need Lucas Rhodes to be my knight in shining armor.
Bouquets & Buckles is everything I want in a spicy forbidden Christmas love story:
- Horses? โ
- Hot older man? โ
- Spunky pink haired, tattooed FMC? โ
- Snowed in? โ
- “Let me take care of you” but it’s not just about s3x? โ
- Forbidden love? AKA best friend’s dad โ
Did this story make me want to dye my hair pink? Yes. Did it make me want to start my other tattoo sleeve before my first one is done? Also yes.
Overall I genuinely loved Bouquets & Buckles, Skye and Lucas’ story, by Elliott Rose as part of the Crimson Ridge series and I will definitely be re-reading it closer to Christmas!
Worthy of a Re-read.
