💗✨️Gloriously Emotional, Suspenseful, Ranch Romance!!✨️💗

LJ Evans made my heart bleed with Gia, Ryder and Addy in The Last Promise You Made! There are so many emotions from the very beginning its impossible not to get wrapped up in this book and her characters!! 

Ryder is not JUST a growly cowboy, he is an angry man who's been left behind by not one, but TWO women and his heart has scarred over and he's unwilling to let anyone else back in. So when he gets the call from Maddox, and the surprise of his life of course the first emotion he reaches for is anger, he doesn't know how to do anything else. 

He opens up quickly though, it's impossible not to when the dreams he thought were smashed beyond repair are coming back to life right in front of him. Ryder just has to make sure to keep guarding his heart because like last time, Gia might not stay, she might not be what she seems like this time. LJ makes Ryder so sweet, smart, and effervescent when it comes to the love he has for his family and their land, I just wanted to squeeze him!! 

Gia seems like a rock polished to a diamond, determined to keep people from reaching the core of her. When she finds Addy, she knows she has to do the one thing she never wanted to; return to the Hatley Ranch and Whitlock, Tennessee. Gia is more resolute now than ever to lock up any feelings she might have had for the surly rancher. She and Ryder have nothing in common, and he is sure she's nothing but a liar and maybe even a thief.

Gia is strong, sexy, and suspenseful throughout most of the first half of The Last Promise You Made. Why is she ok with protectors that are not known to the county sherrifs sticking around the house, especially when he disappears every time something else happens with the Lovados? Why will she not answer questions, but she expects Ryder to keep everything swirling around them secret - even from his family??

The suspense in this book is absolutely hair raising in certain parts, and had me racing through it afraid to miss even a single sentence! The color sequence at the ball was over the top disturbing, and had me shivering with each course. It was also incredibly interesting because I could tell where Jaime intended to go with it and I wondered if it disturbed his guests as much as it disturbed Gia and Ryder, or if it was solely for their benefit.

In the end LJ Evans has written a gloriously emotional book with beautiful characters that I am sad to leave behind, she gave them such a sweet ending with everything everyone deserved. The epilogue is absolutely FIRE, and I cannot WAIT to get back to the Hatley Ranch soon!!
