My queen of MC romances, Emma Slate, has branched over into cowboys. What did we do to be so blessed?!?

Hadley returns home to the ranch after a broken engagement in NYC only to literally fall into the arms of Declan, an older ranch hand her dad recently hired. Declan is a huge golden retriever who will do anything to make Hadley happy, and after the chaos in New York, she deserves every second of it. This book is sweet, loving, sexy and full of family and cute animals, like literally what more could you want?

I never thought I would think the nickname, Bear Snack, could be romantically enduring, but when Deckan calls Hadley this, I was sold. 

This book had a quick start when Hadley almost gets taken out by a grizzly before Declan saves the day! Hadley is a little cautious around her feelings for Declan right away as she had returned home after a failed engagement and some devasting news. However, Declan accepts her for where she is in life and didn't push for more until she was ready despite his big feelings for her. Throw in a meddling grandma, supportive friends, hot springs, and a baby goat, and Hadley had no hope of not falling for Declan. 

As this is the first book of the series, I can't wait to see where the next book takes me!

I loved every moment of this book! The characters’ love story was so cute and funny. The nickname Declan gave Hadley was perfect—I love how unique it was. It reminded me of how my husband gives me random names that no one else would ever think to use, which made it feel personal and extra sweet.

I also loved the charming little town and all the people in it. The whole setting just felt cozy and alive.

For someone who’s obsessed with Chestnut Springs, this definitely scratched that same itch. I can’t wait for Book 2 in the series to come out!

ARC Review: Thank you to Emma Slate for sending me a copy to read and review

Huckleberry Hill was one of those spicy, wholesome books. The banter between not only Hadley and her family, but Hadley and her friends was so good. Muddy really stole the show. 

Hadley is just coming off a break up with her Fiancé, and she returns home to Idaho from New York. She meets the new wrangler on the ranch her first night home. No matter how hard she tried she couldn’t resist his charm. 

Declan: former team roper on the rodeo circuit, wrangler, biker, absolutely smitten by Hadley. I love how Hadley can talk him into anything including letting her pet goat, Tempest sleep In bed with them. I love how Declan sees her for who she is and he doesn’t waver or see her as broken in any way.

Hadley goes back to her family's ranch following a rough breakup and trying to decide what she wants to do with her life. Go back to New York with her sister and friends or move back to the ranch permanently.

She stumbles over the new wrangler, Declan, on her first night home, and the sparks fly. Add in a meddling grandmother and a baby goat, and Hadley is more confused than ever about what she wants to do. 

The banter between Hadley and Declan will have you giggling as they navigate, figuring out what their relationship is. If you keep your eyes open, you might just spot a cameo of some of the characters from the Tarnished Angel's series. 

Tropes: 
▪ Surprise Pregnancy 
▪ Age Gap 
▪ He Falls First 
▪ Small Town 
▪ Cinnamon Roll MMC 
▪ Cowboy Biker 

I've been in a book slump for weeks and as soon as I picked this book up I knew I would fly through it! I've absolutely loved this book and i can't wait for book 2! This was absolute perfection and I want more!

Hadley is back home to heal after her fiancé left her when he found out she couldn't have children, the last thing Hadley needs is a rugged biker cowboy to catch her. Declan falls for Hadley, literally and figuratively, straight away, she's what he never knew he needed and he just might try and win her round.

I loved the development of their relationship and how easy it seemed to flow, the only thing missing for me was that it wasn't dual pov, but that's just me being greedy and wanting into Declan's head! This book is definitely worth a read and I'm so excited for this series to continue! Hopefully not a long wait!
