🐎✨️ Beautiful Disability Rep & Praise Spice in this FABULOUS Cowboy Romance!! ✨️🐎
Maggie Gates Down Pour is FABULOUS for so many reasons, but the most obvious being the instant chemistry between Ray and Brooke! Just WOW!!
Ray could act like he's not feeling it, but his side eye and almost immediately coming up with a sweet nickname for her. Automatically thinking of her in places he should not be if they're going to keep a professional relationship between them, and none of it was because as Brooke kept repeating "I keep his family away from him."
Brooke is immediately struck by how handsome Ray is, his broody nature, his tattoos, his longer hair, and those dark eyes that seem so flat, but occasionally give her a glimmer of hope. She really just wants to see some warmth in him and maybe get him to like her well enough to not fire her, because Brooke's been down on her luck as well.
The one thing that keeps Ray happiest with Brooke at the beginning is that there's no pity in her eyes when she looks at him, everyone else in his family keeps looking at "the quadriplegic" as though they might cry any second and that just makes Ray want to burn the whole world down around him.
Maggie Gates representation in this book is just amazing. She has all the feelings, Ray's anger at his loss of mobility, sadness at what he's lost, and what he might never have with Brooke, all while keeping those feelings of hope and encouragement, but not really wanting anyone to see any forward progress in case it's not lasting.
I loved that she didn't forget to include how his family is feeling as well. That his niece's are not just sad, but also hurt when Ray puts up a wall between them, and when he stops attending family dinners that his Dad is finally so angry his 'no cursing' rule is tossed right out the window.
No one can forget that Brooke is her own person in all this. She is never simply Ray's caretaker, but a lovely woman with a soul made of pure sunlight who unfortunately allows herself to get trampled from time to time by a little bit of everyone.
When Brooke and Ray finally find their way to each other, HOLY WOW is it HAWT!! Down Pour includes scenes I never expected, but was so very glad to see, and Ms. Gates did a phenomenal job with some very extensive ki*k play and aftercare. I think y'all will LOVE it and another scene when you get there, I was cheering for Brooke all the way!
The suspense aspects of the book help keep the excitement of the book flowing well, and lean into the upcoming fourth book in the series well. I'm so, SO THRILLED about who's coming next!!
I absolutely adored Down Pour, and finished it in one day, I just could not put it down. Ray and Brooke have probably been my favorite couple so far in this series, I love the disability rep, and the praise ki*k. There are so many good things here I could go on for days, but just know I'm now a Maggie Gates fan permanently. She wrote the doors off this one!!
