A fun addition to the series.



Side Notes
• Jericho and Ivy were cute and I liked the build up from the other books/check ins with the other brothers.
• Wish there was more development for the female characters and female friendships. The wives are basically there to make pies now.
• Some plot points were super contrived, but I guess that's the fun of these books.

I’ve enjoyed this series and seeing the family grow and expand. 
🤠
Ivy is a bit wild and still immature at times. I liked their second chance meet cute and hoped that thread would last longer. She was pretty dramatic especially at the end when she was so depressed she had no reason to live. And she lost her clothes a lot. 🥴
🤠
It’s a clean Christian fiction. But there were plenty of times where it’s clean steamy scenes almost made me pause the audiobook because it didn’t seem like it would stay clean. Jericho and Ivy aren’t my favorite couple in this series and Flynn was driving me crazy and ruining it. 
🤠
Best character in this book is Judd!

I continue to love this series. The entire family dynamic is perfection and I have loved Ivy forever since I was a tomboy growing up too so I can relate easily to her. I loved her story, not only for the swoony kisses but because she was able to prove herself, be strong and still lean on those she loves. Just another wonderful novel from Jody Hedlund.

No swearing, faith based, and just enough kissing to make your toes curl a bit.

There has never been a shortage of sparks flying between Ivy and Jericho. I've loved their dynamic from the first time they appeared in the series. Ivy is such a determined spitfire and I admire her hardworking attitude and spunk. Jericho's loyal and protective spirit makes my heart go pitter patter (much like my real-life hero). My favorite part of this story is the way these two individually learn more about themselves and the God who loves them. I'm also a big fan of the kissing, great kissing scenes!

I purchased this book. The opinions expressed are my own.

I have absolutely loved this series and this book was no exception! I’ve enjoyed watching Ivy grow up through the other books, and then finally get to see her story. The fiery girl becomes a strong and independent woman that is cowgirl through and through.

The settings for these books never ceases to take my breath away and will leave you craving wide-open skies, jagged peaks, tall timber, the sweet scent of hay, and the exhilarating and powerful feel of riding a horse. And nobody writes romance in exactly the same way as @jodyhedlund She has a knack for capturing the fire and tension between two people and this second chance romance has plenty of that.

Ivy’s been in love with Jericho for as long as she can remember, but he has consistently resisted his attraction to her. She was always too young before, and now his job he feels is too dangerous. When he has to return to their hometown as an undercover agent, that attraction becomes harder and harder to deny.

I felt myself at times being really frustrated with Jericho. Ivy was definitely the star of this book and I loved her. But as he comes around and sees what is really most important and takes the time to heal from some of the wounds of his past they end up coming together in the most beautiful way. The ending was
