This was fast paced but still fun.

The book itself isn't perfect. Some of the story elements felt thrown in there and character personalities were a bit messy at times. The boys were all adorably cute. They were a little too perfect in my opinion of how on board they were with everything, but it was mostly fine. Tessa was all very fine. I liked her fiery personality and no nonsense attitude. I do like how she treated the boys (even if I was very Team Branch).

Just a short solid little book.

Following is a trigger note
Note: There is on page attempt SA. So watch for triggers.

I fear this may be the start of my cowboy era

Read in basically one sitting. Not awful

TW for an
physical assault and attempted rape
on the page. It's over pretty quick but might be triggering to some. 

Another easy to love RH romance by Grace McGinty! 
I liked the balance between the romances and the plot of her career + people against her breaking into the bull riding sport.
There's a few open discussions between them all about what their relationship is, which is always a big emotionally mature green flag. 

Honestly my only complaint is that it isn't longer, I would have loved more scenes of the guys becoming friends and their group relationship dynamic.

There's an unusual intro of another poly group at one point that had me wondering if they were from a different book? I'll have to look into it. It wasn't a bad inclusion but felt a bit out of nowhere?

There's also no MM in this one (unlike her other book, Pay-Per-Heart which does have an MM relationship in the polycule).

This book came out of the gate swinging!! I am not usually one for cowboys, but some friends told me about it, and I had to see for myself!
This is a great standalone why-choose novel!! There are some possible triggers, but the h is a HUGE BADASS, and she gets her HEA!!
