I liked the first part of this, but once Jace and Remy got together, which was pretty early on, my interest just dropped.

I, personally, would have loved to see more of a slow burn out of this. Considering that a) Remy and Jace barely know each other b) most of their acquaintance prior to their involvement happens off page c) Jace has zero experience with men and d) thinks that being gay is unnatural and struggles with accepting his sexuality e) Remy is his employer, no matter which way you cut it.

I love how everyone just ignored Remy's alcohol abuse and then was shocked when he nearly drank himself to death and were upset that he hadn't come to them for help.

I like how Jace and Remy each expect the other to tell them all their issues, while each keeping their own issues a secret.

I hated the whole Tracey thing, and the hearing. I don't think that really added anything to the story.

I wish that if instead of hinting at a D/s dynamic and praise kink, the author would have either just left it out, or gone more in depth with it. There were enough sex scenes that that could have been worked in there.

While I liked the actual writing, in the end I just really didn't like Remy, the romance, the pacing or the plot. Probably won't pick up another book by this author.

I read this because I wanted a story on a ranch. Almost no angst, so that's good, but also everything was rather shallow.

Fun quick romantic read with good characters and a heartwarming ending. No real surprises plot wise but an engaging story all the same.
