The chemistry- undeniable
The connection- unbreakable
The anticipation tingles- uncontrollable

Camille Ashwood and Dusty Tucker. They have always been in love with each other but they were young and didn't know how to handle young love and distance so they broke apart. 

Dusty traveled the world seeking adventure but he never forgot his roots at Rebel Blue Ranch and when he decides to finally settle down that's where he chooses to do so. 

Cam is engaged to Graham but it's merely a marriage of convenience in order to appease her parents (they are not great) but when he no shows at the wedding, Cam is left feeling embarrassed and Dusty is the only one who knows what to do. After helping her, they decide to be friends and try to navigate living in town together but something is bubbling just under the surface between them and soon enough that bubbling turns into a rolling boil and they must push past fears and old wounds in order to move forward.  

I knew from the start I was going to love this second chance romance! You don’t know exactly what happened in the past between these two initially but the flashbacks provide you with a swoony and epic love story that you know is going to crash and burn but you can't wait to see how they pick up the pieces together. 

I loved how Dusty just showed up for her always and he knew exactly what she needed. They were so in tuned with each other, even after 15 years apart, you know the connection they had was strong. It was swoony and I couldn't have asked for a better ending to the Rebel Blue series!

I liked the book and enjoyed the story - with all that heartstrings tagging. But I was constantly mad at Cam who was always running away, her reasons for staying apart were ridiculous, and I don't think she grew up or developed as a character at all.

I think Dusty deserved to be fought for too and I didn't feel any of it. That third act breakup was bs, Cam acted like a spoiled child whom everyone owns for some reason.

Also I'd like to see the situation with the parents and the trust funds resolved - they influenced the story and the fmc so much and al we got was Dusty standing up to them?

These characters were true perfection for me. This would have been a 10/10 read for me but I was a little disappointed in the ending. It felt rushed. I wanted more, I didn’t want it to end
