This book was an utter disappointment. I was curious about this series after all the hype that I found about it on either tik tok or YouTube. It was a painfully cringe read, further enhanced by the Italian translation which wasn't the best ever.
Alrightie, let's start with a common problem of this type of books: they all introduce in the story different interesting themes - such as the grooming experience that Summer underwent - but they just glass over them superficially and with a resolution that's all too soon found and that is strictly linked to the love interest instead of the fmc. Naturally I don't expect a romance to talk in great details about such important themes; there's nothing back in it being just a love-centered thing with its smutty details, but aside the fact that the smut was meh at best, it was also written to be so objectifying from the mmc that it was an uncomfortable read truly. I am not against loveless sex and neither a prude but in this case it was implied they were in love and yet, it felt painfully superficial and not all that real.
I disliked the mmc and the way it was constantly implied that the fmc had to change out of her 'city girls' attitude on a vibe that reminded me of trad-wives although she ends up having her own entreprise. In all truth I doubt that I'll ever continue this series.

This was a pleasant surprise for me. I went in with low expectations, but was pleased by how much I enjoyed the chemistry and build up between Rhett and Summer. The story isn't exactly enemies to lovers, but they start the novel disliking (and judging) each other, and end it happily in love and planning their future.
The writing had its weak moments, and there was one particular plot point I expected to happen, and right as it's about to, Rhett just does something completely different. So that was a huge anticlimax. But apart from that, this was a compelling read. I found myself looking forward to picking it up, and kicking my feet when I realised we were getting "there's only one bed". I may have bought up the next three books in the series (they were on a deal, OK?), so we'll see how the next book turns out.

TW: loss of a parent, grooming (mentioned), parental abandonment
I must be in my cowboy era because I can't get enough of this series! I read these out of order thanks to NetGalley but it was so easy to follow along and know what was going down. And it was lovely to go back to the beginning and read about Rhett and Summer's story.
After Rhett loses a sponsor over some flippant words his agent sticks him with a glorified babysitter, Summer. But she quickly becomes much more than that, she's taking care of him, putting him through workouts, setting up home-run interviews, caring for his injuries. She takes care of him like no one in his life ever has. Summer is trying to prove her worth in her dad's company, she's always wanted to make him proud seeing as he's the only person in the world who has ever gave a damn about her. Rhett doesn't make it easy on her but she quickly finds herself having all types of feeling for the cowboy.
I found Rhett and Summer's chemistry so good right off the bat. I love how they took care of and looked out for one another once they got past the initial so called "enemies" part. Rhett is such a wild child dare devil but also has a lonely sensitive side he only shows to Summer. And Summer, my goodness this poor girl has been through it. Her mother doesn't stick around after giving birth to her, her step-mother and step-sister are literal nightmares, and she was groomed into a toxic ass relationship when she was only a teenager. The Canadian country life was a balm to her soul and I loved how the Eatons just gobbled her up and treated her as one of their own so quickly. Elsie Silver makes me want to visit the Wishing Well Ranch so bad, it just seems like a lovely place with such good people. Harvey Eaton is a show stealer and everyone deserves a dad/grandpa like him lol
Flawless was really easy to read and you don't want to put it down. The spice is well written and not cringy at all. I liked the growth of the characters and the whole family dynamic, I'm definitely continuing the series!
