WOW!!! This is definitely going to be one of my top ten this year… I loved it so much from the very first page…
Say You Need Me is a new cowboy series and this one revolves around Niamh and Roman. They both find themselves in a situation where they need help and he makes her an offer she can't refuse.
Niamh is just trying to keep her late father's bar afloat while drowning in grief and debt after losing her father. Niamh is strong and determined, and is not about to let life push her around.
Then there's Roman Knight... Roman is a gorgeous, rich broody, closed off ranch owner cowboy. To keep his ranch he's forced to get married to keep it. When he meets Niamh he's thinks she’s the perfect candidate. She most definitely does not want anything to do with him. But when Roman offers her a contract marriage to pay off her debt she agrees.
Their chemistry was absolutely electric, the tension and banter was perfection and it kept me smiling. The spice was spicing, and then add in a dash of suspense made this book absolute perfection. This book is genuinely a can't-miss romance.
If you're in the mood for an arranged marriage cowboy romance with swoony moments and a dash of suspense, I 100% recommend picking this one up!
