Roped
Not yet published
Expected 25 Aug 26A college student is hunted by a cowboy who's utterly obsessed with her in this spicy stalker romance, perfect for fans of God of Malice and Yellowstone.
I’m Peyton Turner. I’m nineteen years old, and I have ... a stalker.
No, I don’t have proof—but I know he’s watching me. I feel his stare burning through my bedroom window at night, smell his intoxicating scent when he’s close. Every time I try to catch him, he vanishes into the shadows like he was never there at all.
All I know for certain is that under his black Stetson, he wears a skull mask. It almost hides the wicked scar carved down his face, but it can’t hide his piercing green eyes. Eyes that haunt me.
I should be terrified of his attention. Instead, I find myself drawn to it. I only understand the danger too late, when my best friend goes missing. I’ve decided I won’t run, though. I won’t hide. I’ll set a trap to lure him out of the dark and force him to lead me to her.
But the man I’m hunting is a far more skilled predator than I imagined. And once his rope tightens around me, I’m no longer the one in control. I’m the prey.

Roped • Saffron A. Kent
One phrase: masked cowboy stalker obsession 🤠🖤
Saffron A. Kent really said God of Malice meets Yellowstone and then gave us a dark, dangerous, deliciously obsessive romance that had me completely hooked.
Roped is the kind of book that leans all the way into the shadows and somehow still finds light there.
Peyton knows someone is watching her. She can feel him outside her window. Sense him in the dark. Smell him when he gets too close. She does not have proof, but she knows her masked stalker is real.
And honestly? The fact that she is scared but also a little drawn to the danger?
Yeah. I was seated.
Rad, her dark Phantom cowboy, is broody, scarred, dangerous, possessive, and hiding so much more than Peyton realizes. Their dynamic is pure cat and mouse, except once Peyton finally calls her monster out of the shadows, the game becomes so much bigger than either of them.
What I loved most was how Peyton and Rad became each other’s light. He lives in the darkness, but something about Peyton reaches him. And Peyton, even when everything gets more dangerous and sinister, refuses to be helpless. Her banter, her bravery, her fire, all of it made their relationship so addictive.
This book is dark, intense, and full of that obsessive “I will burn the world to keep you safe” energy. But underneath the stalking, danger, and secrets, there is also healing, loyalty, and a love that feels like survival.
The series world keeps getting deeper too, with the fight for freedom, the Grayson legacy, and all the tension surrounding what still needs to be won. I am so obsessed with these characters and this world.

I will never not love an obsessed man, and Rad took the cake and ate it.
I already had high expectations, not only because Branded was one of my top reads, but because the hints we got of Peyton and Rad in Branded had me salivating. And I wasn’t disappointed.
Peyton surprised me. From Reverie’s perspective we couldn’t have seen how much more than the typical rich college girl she was. But Peyton was brave, fearless, loyal and so loving. She had the crazy in her that only made her better. Her obsession with Rad’s green eyes from the moment she saw them gave me all the knowledge I needed to foresee her being as into him as he was her. She was selfless, would have laid down her life for not only Reverie, but Rad and his sister. She never once had anything but love and desire for Rad and his body, and her bleeding heart for his past only made me love her more.
And Raddison? My god how I love him, his pain, his scar and his dirty mouth, that when he utters words you know he means them. I truly couldn’t get over him counting down to the second how long he’s been observing Peyton. How he cared so much about her even after realizing who was her father. That even then, when he saw true fear in her eyes he’d move heaven and earth for her, but still gave her the fear she craved. His strong morals, how he didn’t let some people earn redemption because, it’s true, some don’t deserve it. How can I not love him?
Now now, I was a sucker for the age gap, the filth and the absolute dirty talk all throughout, but the fact that we, as the reader, had to earn that kiss? Oh I was the one yearning and pinning for it. I’m a sucker for the first kiss moment and Saffron killed it. I also adore that her MMCs seem to have an…oral fixation, that her taste is addictive, because who wouldn’t dream of an eater having you as breakfast for the rest of your life?
Okay, now that I’ve read it once, I’ll be screaming and crying for Mars and Ax books…even Brecken’s but guess what I’ll be doing while waiting? REREADING both Branded AND the absolute gem that is Roped.
NetGalley, baby, you keep on blessing me fr fr. Forever, specially Estelle, you did your big one sending me this one and I’ll never forget it.
And of course, Saffron. Damn it, you’ve topped it again. I love it and I’ll never get tired of your work.

Saffron writes some of the most deliciously dark books and I love every one of them, but Roped…oh Roped took my darkness and made it happy!!
Peyton and her dark Phantom have a cat and mouse game happening, but when Peyton finally calls her monster out of the shadows the real game begins and Peyton realizes she’s part of a darker and more sinister plan than she originally thought.
This book has some of the events from book one layered in but the focus is solely on Peytin and her Phantom! Things go deeper though because the fight for freedom and for the Grayson’s to have what’s rightfully theirs isn’t over. Now Peyton must find a way to help those she loves while Rad, her dark, broody cowboy Phantom tries to keep everyone safe!
What I loved about this dark and dangerous romance is how Rad and Peyton became each others light. Even though Rad lives in the shadows something about Peyton calls to him and their banter or well her banter had me chuckling and hanging on to every moment!
Gah I could go on and on about this book! What I will say is that this series, these characters are Everything! There is something that just sucks you in and keeps you! I am so obsessed with this series but the healing and love between Rad and Peyton elevated them to my faves!
