Bull Rush

A Dark Western Romance (The Quiet Horsemen, Book 1)

De: Maggie Rawdon

Narrado por: Aiden Snow, Elena Wolfe

Still married.

Those words change everything.

Now my should-be ex-husband, Ramsey Stockton, the former pro football star turned felon and hero who left this town—and me—behind years ago, is at my door offering me a deal with the devil.

If I let him stay and play his wife again for ninety days, he’ll give me a quiet divorce and his family ranch—the one my inn is on. When I scoff at the idea, he offers a million-dollar bonus to help my business float through this rough patch, but only if I’m his.

Then he’ll walk away, and I can walk down the aisle with my fiancé. Or I can say no and watch everything I’ve worked so hard for fall apart.

There’s only one answer I can afford to give him. But he knows everything about me—every hurt, every secret, and every single weakness I have, including him.

While Ramsey might want me, his brothers want him back in the family business. If there's one universal truth in this town, it's that Stockton men stop at nothing to get what they want.

Incredible Narration, plot and romance!

I am so glad I waited for the audio for this one! It was so worth the wait! Ramsey and Hazel were hot as hell and I absolutely LOVED there story! They thought they were divorced 5 years ago, but fate had other plans. Now they’re back in each other’s lives, and Ramsey will stop at nothing to get his wife back.

I loved Ramsey, he’s one of those MMCs you can’t get enough of. The type to piss you off just to get your blood going to get you off. It’s hot! Hazel is feisty and knows how to push Ramsey’s buttons. They were freaking electric!

It’s got the spice, an incredible plot with a few twists! I figured them out a bit along the way. This was such a fun read! I can’t wait to dive into book 2 and get more of the Stockton back story! I have a feeling it’s only going to get darker!

Really Great

Loved this second chance romance story. Great narration with an interesting plot and a lot of spicy scenes. We'll worth the credit. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Outstanding!

The story fulfilled everything I was searching for in entertainment! Will be checking out Maggie Rawdon’s other books!

Enjoyed

This book has a little bit of everything: second chance lovers, football player ex, criminal ties, sassy besties and new love interest. There is more but I don’t want to give it away. I listened and read this book and enjoyed every minute of it. The banter, spice and storyline had me hooked. Excited to see what else comes from this series.

Mr. Stockton, YES SIR

HOLY RAMSEY STOCKTON!!!

This audio was FANTASTIC! Duet style with Aiden Snow and Elena Wolfe and they were perfect! It is up there for one of my favorite listens this year, as they brought these characters to life flawlessly! 100% recommend when reading along, it makes this already great story even better!

Ramsey & Hazel just are a perfect mix of small town/football/ranch/dark(ish) goodness! I ATE this one up! Absolutely devoured them and this start to a new series! I love how their dynamic with each other, even when they "hated" each other. The way Ramsey would do just about anything to get Hazel back, & protected her even when she didn't want it. Their chemistry is off the charts, and blesssss it when the spice starts spicin'! They are both filthy, know the other like the back of their hand, and give each other exactly what they need and want. I was sweatin'!

The twisty twist towards the end, and how I am salivating for answers and the next book! I need audio for it ASAP because I have a feeling Grant is going to WRECK me!

This is the first Maggie Rawdon book for me and I am kicking myself for sleeping on her writing! I enjoyed it so much & will be reading her backlist this year!

Duet Narration & Second Chances

Im a sucker for duet narration so that’s an automatic pull in.

Usually not a second chance romance reader but this one was surprisingly good. The tension at the beginning, the a good redemption, a overprotective love interest, it definitely pulled me in.

A phenomenal dark western romance that is brought to LIFE in this DUET narration!!!!

Bull Rush is an addicting dark western romance that pulls you right in from the start with a unique divorce of convenience plot while then taking you on a wild ride full of scorching hot banter, palpable tension, building suspense, darkness, character growth, side characters you’ll fall in love with, unforgettable spice and also a beautifully written story about a second chance at love! Maggie’s writing is so incredibly captivating making this a book you won’t want to hit pause on! I cannot recommend it enough!!

🎧The audiobook narrated by Aiden Snow & Elena Wolfe in DUET completely elevates this already phenomenal story!!👏🏻 From the casting, to the delivery it is absolute perfection!!! I couldn’t get enough of Aiden & Elena going back and forth bringing the push/pull dynamic between Ramsey & Hazel to life! They completely captured the chemistry and tension between these two! Plus that spice on audio somehow made the incredible spicy scenes EVEN HOTTER😮‍💨🔥

Aiden’s deep raspy tone for Ramsey was exactly how I imagined him when reading!! I also loved the way Aiden alters his voice for the other men to differentiate them in the audio including Curtis. It just immerses you deeper into this story while listening! Then there is Elena whose soft yet strong tone makes you feel every single emotion of Hazel while she also brings out that feistiness of her character too!

Overall, this is a MUST LISTEN on audio! This book was my top read of 2024 and now this audio is easily one of my top favorite audiobooks for 2025!!! An audiobook worth every penny as you’ll want to listen to it over and over again!

Let it Snow… and talk dirty to me!

This is my first novel by this author and it sure did not disappoint. I love a well written story with spicy scenes 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ from start to finish… and this novel had it all. I’m so glad it was done in Duet Narration with the perfect narrators bringing the story to life. Of course listening to Aiden Snow’s deep sexy voice as he played the role of a possessive, dirty-talking alpha male was the icing on the cake! Honestly, if I could change the GPS voice on my iPhone to Aiden Snow’s voice, I would probably take longer trips in my car… lol. The story was so good that I finished the book in one day. Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series and I hope it is also in Duet Narration… once you listen to a novel done this way, there is no going back to any other type of narration. You are spoiled for life!

Good Series Start

I wasn’t totally sold on the premise of this book (ex-hubby reveals he is still hubby when FMC is trying to marry new hubby) but gotta say, it was very well done. Intriguing story, spicy spice, drama, mystery, suspense. Lots of really solid elements. And duet narration? Yes please!

Still Married, Still Mine? Yes, Please.

Bullrush by Maggie Rawdon (my first from her!) delivered everything I didn’t know I needed—second-chance romance, fake marriage, small-town heat, and a broody ex who still owns her heart. Ramsey Stockton is all kinds of dangerous, and the chemistry between him and his not-so-ex wife Hazel is intense. The spice? Whew. Vicious, raw, and addictive. I was hooked on every emotionally charged moment, every stolen glance, every power play. And that Stockton family drama? I need more. I can’t wait for Book 2 and to dig deeper into the Stockton brothers’ world. Maggie Rawdon, you have my attention!
