The story follows the lives of Summer (a city girl) & Rhett (a bull rider) and their evolving relationship was they're forced to work together. The plot was cliché, but that didn't take away from the heart warming story.

This type of book is definitely a comfort read, the shuttle of writing was informal and to the point, you're typical 'chick-lit' novel. 

My only gripe is the bull riding, whilst this is a valid sport, I personally felt uncomfortable with this as the torment this sport places on the animals - I feel that this was rather controversial, considering the feel good nature of the story.

I don't like the bull riding descriptions, as I consider it to be animal cruelty. The love story itself is cute though
I think the other 4 books in the series are better than this one

There was no resolution to Rhett’s media blunder which is a minus like did he get all his sponsors back? We will never know lol. I mean I know it doesn’t really matter now that he’s retired but would have nice round up. Also redoes are a no for me I can’t get behind the sport at all and would have rather had him be like a hockey player living in a country town
