Swallow Your Fear Kindle Edition
Don’t talk to strangers. Unless, of course, they’re wearing boots and a cowboy hat. Then definitely talk to them. My life was perfectly fine. Well, at least up until the night I found out my boyfriend was sleeping with half the damn town. With nowhere to go, I holed up in a motel with whatever I could fit in my car. But not even twenty-four hours after moving into said shit hole, a burly stranger breaks in wearing a skeleton mask. It couldn’t get any worse, right? Wrong. Because now this masked man is demanding I move in with him until he gets what he wants—and the thing about cowboys and ranchers? They never back down from a challenge.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2024Karley knows how to write a cowboy romance…doesn’t matter if it’s dark or not!
This one was so fun. The mask, the cowboys, the ranch, the danger, the morally grey man. It was all here and all well done.
Booker and Brynne were a fun couple. It started out as a threat and maybe a good time and turned in to so much more.
Booker and his boys are family by choice. They take care of each other no matter what.
Brynne has been dragged into a situation by and ex more than once and rescued by Booker in his own way.
These two fight and come together in the best way. The flirting and the deviousness of these two was a fun time.
This was a great book and I’m hoping there will be two more for the other masked men.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2025This has by far been my favorite book. It’s very suspenseful and definitely has the smut aspect if you think that. Book is for sure a 10 out of 10
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2025Booker and Brynne
what a whirlwind.
Brynne was dating the wrong guy and his actions where going to cause more trouble for her. Booker seemed to be a cause of some of the issues but the true cause was CHASE, gag.
Swallow Your Fears, Darlin.
I may hear Booker in my head next time I need to do something scary.
The sharing was weird. I did not hate it. Just weird since he was so quick to never what to do it again.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE BOSS to be who the boss is. whoa.
Very fast paced, very spice.
A good read of cowboy justice and small town bull.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2025I’m glad that Brynne and Booker were endgame. As hot as the sharing scenes were, Brynne and Booker complimented each other so well and Austin & Henley deserve their own HEAs.
There was so much anticipation waiting for retaliation but the book didn’t drag.
I loved the spur play. Brynne was sassy, strong and stood on business.
This was my first dark cowboy romance and it won’t be my last!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025This was some of the best written spice I've read in a while and I CANT wait for book two!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2024Let me preface this by saying it was a cute romance, however, when I see dark romance I expected it to be darker like the quiet cowboy mafia/motorcycle gang dark. Where there’s more happening in the story. It’s obvious in this book there’s been darkness larking in the MMC before the FMC came into his life (it was mentioned). It was a great book!!! However I just expected more!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2024If you enjoy a dark romance where the girl doesn't put up much of a fight (internally or externally) then this is the book for you! In the end I really enjoyed the MMC, but our FMC didn't make him work very hard for it so the tension just wasn't as high as I would have liked, lol. The actual plot and motivations of the characters were pretty good, and the spice was very fun and varied ;)
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024Masked men and cowboys! This was the best combo! Spice was great! Plot was amazing! Can’t wait for hopefully more dark romance from Karley! Literally could not put it down!!

ARC Review
Tropes

- Masked Cowboys
She’s done it again ladies and gentlemen, she is one of the authors that I will instantly buy and read for a reason.
I inhaled this one I read it in two sittings and could’ve easily done it in one, if life hadn’t of got in the way.
It is a shorter novel, so there’s a little bit of instant attraction, I wouldn’t necessarily call it insta love though. As there was definitely tension and some angst between the two, but definitely instant attraction and spice.
It’s a dark cowboy romance with a revenge plot, I haven’t read anything like this one before and it didn’t disappoint.
Let’s be honest we read cowboy romances because they are wholesome, they generally are about loyal, family men, with a sweet side hidden away that they only show to their girl. Booker does not fill that bill he is rough, can be scary, and can certainly take care of business. He does have a protective streak though.
Brynne is a strong female character and there is no shyness to her and she can hold her own. She just got herself thrown into a situation she couldn’t control. However she did not crumble in that situation. She is unapologetically her, and her sassy nature is everything.
There was no slow burn to this and some of the spice scenes came out of nowhere, which is the only reason I’m giving this 4 stars instead of 5. The spice was just giving a little too free for my personal taste, I would’ve loved the spice scenes to have more purpose.
Being a shorter book the fast pace is expected, however I would’ve loved some of the spice scenes to be replaced with a little more banter between the two, to see the connection grow a little more. That would be my only criticism with this one.
However this one was so different to anything I’ve ever read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it because I didn’t know how it was going to unfold.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4.0 out of 5 stars This was so hot!! Masked Cowboys? Yes Please!
Swallow Your Fear was my first book by @authorkarleybrenna, and my gosh, it was HOT🔥🔥 I love me a good cowboy/rancher romance, and having masked cowboys, well that just took it to a whole other level. I devoured this book in a matter of hours and could not put it down.
Booker was such a great MMC with literal touch her and die vibes, and so creative. Brynne, the FMC, was ballsy AF and knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to ask. The secondary characters were also very integral to this story in more ways than one 😈😈
Oh boy, don't get me started on the haunted house scene because Karley knocked it out of the park.
Swallow Your Fear may seem like “just a title” but as the story progresses, it winds up having a deeper purpose. IYKYK
This is a Dark Cowboy Romance, so please make sure to check the long list of trigger warnings.
