***5 'Goddamn her' stars*** 
 This is one of those books that I've been chomping at the bit to get my hands on and yet was loathe to open it. Not because it's the last book in The Wicked Horse series, thought that in and of itself is a reason to pause for a moment of silence, but because it's Bridger's book. In every review Ilve done for the books in this series I've made mention about how much I adored Bridger and NEEDED to know more about this enigma of a man, I swear it became an obsession. So, the battle was real, but I pulled on my shit kickers and dove in and loved every second of it from start to finish. I got a little sniffly and teary (something that rarely happens), wanted to smack some sense into a few heads, got hot and bothered (duh it is Bridger) and thought the ending was perfect. 
 I loved that we finally got to see inside Bridger's head and find out what makes him tick. My heart hurt for him and the hell he'd been put through as a child and teenager, I also wanted to hurt the person who hurt him, but that wasn't possible, because no one should ever have to go through that. But it also made me adore Bridger even more at the man he'd become. While he likes his sex a little dark and kinky, he isn't dark. He could have become that, but didn't. He had help along the way, but he pulled himself up, worked hard and turned in an amazing man with a huge heart, though he doesn't see it that way. I spent much of the book wanting to hug him and smack some sense into him, even though I knew he had to work through his demons in his own way. 
 Maggie is simply amazing She's made mistakes, and one of them is the reason as to why she ended up with Bridger, but she's also learned from them and when push came to shove, she shoved back. What I loved about Maggie was her honesty, not only with herself but with those around her, she got it all out on the table and dealt with it. She's feisty and has a strong and determined heart. 
 It was always a given that Bridger's book would not only be 5 alarm hot, and holy hell was it ~ talk about needing your BOB handy ~ but that it would be painful and frustrating to watch as he battled against his demons and boy was it. But, after learning about his past, it was hard to be pissed at him for the struggle, which is why I absolutely adore Maggie. She may not have known about the hell he went through and did get a tad bit angry when he sent out mixed signals, but she saw the man underneath and fought for him and for what she wanted to have with him. The road was a rough one and when you add the whole situation with the MC into the mix, it was downright crazy and frustrating, especially those last few chapters, but absolutely worth it in the end because Bridger and Maggie were perfect for each other. 
 As always the writing was engaging and I loved the dual 1st person POV's. The journey that Bridger went on was perfect for him and the MC storyline was well done. There were some things I saw coming, but also ones that surprised me so the balance was good and held my interest. I definitely ran the gamut of emotions with this one, and there is one twist I'm not all that happy about, but it is what it is. And I really liked catching up with and spending time with the previous couples in the series and though I'm sad that the series has come to an end, it most definitely ended on a high note.
