I really like Kit Oliver’s writing and this is a fun one. Who doesn’t like a good hot farm boy?

4.5 stars. This was so lovely. A somewhat enemies-to-lovers (not really enemies, but people who don't get along, although it's clearly more one-sided than Cooper realizes) slow burn romance. I loved the banter between Cooper and Whit and seeing Cooper fall for Whit. There are too many lovely scenes between them to name, but I particularly liked them going into the city together. This gets knocked half a star because Anyways, this was a delight, and I'm definitely interested in reading more by this author in the future.

I did get a little annoyed at Cooper deciding to push Whit away and leave the farm rather than just tell him how he felt — in general I am sympathetic to characters being afraid to express their true feelings because I identify with that, but I still found it frustrating here. I did love the scene after Cooper's left where he tells Drew over the phone that he hooked up with Whit, and I especially loved Whit coming to see Cooper when he finds out Cooper left because of him.justinlife's review against another edition

They are really selling me on the cute covers. This one was adorable and I'd thought I'd check it out.
The story follows Cooper, returning to visit a farm he grew up and worked on in the summer of his youths and how he doesn't want to admit his crush for Whit so instead antagonizes him. This has a lot of the classic rom com tropes- almost willfully ignorant or naive lead character, people's inability to communicate, and people misreading situations.
Overall I liked it. It was fun to read about queer farmers falling for each other and this book had some spice to it too. The spicy scenes were better written than some of the other books I've read.
I think my main issue was that it needed more editing. Some passages felt unnecessarily dense and wordy. It's a good read though and I'll read more from Kit Oliver.

Had a good time!
Cute, quick read. Loved the characters. While I wish they would have just talked, this lack of (and really, difficulty) communication was established as part of Cooper and Whit's personalities from the very beginning. I plan to read the companion novel soon too.
