I havenโ€™t read a lot of cowboy romance novels but I am now hooked!!!! There is something about big strong tough cowboys also being absolutely adorable. Matt does such a great job creating a world and the characters within in! Canโ€™t wait to see what happens next!!!  Thank you for the ARC!!!!

Also, Dennis is the best character of this story. No, this is not up for debate โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜†

This is a feel good low-angst read with western flair. Boone and his siblings run an inclusive ranch in Oklahoma, where all are welcome. Wylie is a wandering cowboy who gets the job done and then moves along to the next ranch that needs help for a little while. Boone is sunshine and sweetness who takes care of everyone but not himself. The instant these two meet they're instantly attracted to each other but hold off on doing anything about it. Doesn't mean they don't flirt with each other! Once they start to spend time together and date, they both start to realize what they've been missing. Wylie is starting to feel a sense of peace and belonging that he has been missing for so long.

The whole ranch family and even the animals are great additions, each having their own personalities that add to the story. This book did make me hungry though with all the meals being described and copious amounts of CAKE!!!

What an absolutely stunning story! So sweet and with all the good gooey feels! 

Wylie arrives at Rainbow Ranch, ready to stay a short while and move on, like he always does. But when he meets Boone, the cook for the ranch, he knows something is different and special about him. As much as he doesnโ€™t want to believe it. 

These two have such a sweet and easy connection, lots of flirting and just general cuteness. After things get more heated, Wylie knows he isnโ€™t going to want to leave. 

Adorable, loved reading this. It just gives all the good happy reading vibes - with great heat in there too! Go read it!
