For someone so anti-violence, I really shocked myself reading Rope the Moon because I honestly wanted a wolf to tear a character to shreds. What a rollercoaster.

Rope the Moon was a love story from the off. It’s always refreshing when two characters know that they are meant to be, and there’s no awkward “will they? won’t they?” situation. You just get to bask in the romance!

I didn’t fall as head over heels into the story as I did with Tame the Heart. I think that there were elements of Davis that we didn’t get to go into enough depth about that left me still slightly wondering about him, and I also felt like the timeline moved quite quickly when I would have liked to have lingered on some moments for a bit longer. The end also felt quite rushed. Overall, however, I continue to be enthralled by Runaway Ranch, Resurrection, and its residents.

I can’t figure out who I want to know more about now: Wyatt or Ford. In the one hand, I need Wyatt and Fallon to have their happy ever after *STAT* because they deserve it but, on the other hand, I need to know more about why Ford is so anti-love and want to see who can get him to change his mind. Either way, I can’t wait to see what happens to the Montgomery’s next! Here’s to a more relaxing couple of years for them…

Plot was better than the last one, the spice rarely drew me in considering how much there was of it. Still like the characters. There’s so much filler and repetition of the exact same sentiments/thoughts. Plot points were obvious but still a fun read.

Davis just raised the standard for fictional cowboys. I can’t say anything bad about this book. It had me crying, laughing, and swooning. Somehow it’s better than the first book!

“Sometimes cupcakes and cowboys are all a girl needs”

No truer words have ever been spoken. This book was such a pleasant surprise. I absolutely loved the mix of romance and suspense. It doesn’t happen often, but the twists in this book actually shocked me. That is my favorite thing a book can do besides make me bawl my eyes out. I couldn’t put this book down, I had to know what happened next! This book does deal a lot with domestic violence, so if that triggers you you should maybe skip this one, but even though it’s a major topic in this book the story is much more one of finding one’s strength and happiness. To step into one’s own, realizing your worth and fighting for what you deserve. That’s such an important message and example.
