Listed to the audio version. Fun, solid cowboy/small town romance. Love when the FMC is strong willed and holds her own!

Iโ€™m always searching for good reads included in my KU subscription that have a listen option - for those days where I have too much to do to sit down. This one turned out to be great!

๐Ÿ“” ๐—•๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ผ: Buck Wild, the first book in the Bennett Boys Ranch series by Lauren Landish.

๐Ÿ“š๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ: Cowboy romance, small town romance, opposites attract.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€: Sophia is a veterinarian intern cutting her teeth in a small town when she meets James - a hot shot rodeo star home for the summer and helping to run his familyโ€™s ranch.

๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: Quick and dirty cowboy romance always has my number. And the narrators only made this one better.

James and Sophie were adorable together - the kind of couple you read romance for. Swoony from the start, low drama, and a kick-ass happy ending. The start of a character series always sets the tone, and this one made me hungry for more Bennetts.

The only thing I will say is guys, the spice is spicing. And on audioโ€ฆ maybe your babysitter is the next room over and you canโ€™t mute it quick enoughโ€ฆ so youโ€™ll get embarrassed. Happened to a friend. My advice? Sweet, sweet headphones.

Quick Info
Standalone/Cliffhanger?: Standalone
Part of a Series?: Yes
----------------------------------
Meeting the Characters
James Bennett
Sophie Stone
----------------------------------
What happens?
Sophie is an intern for a local vet. The Bennett ranch calls for help of a horse giving birth and Sophie and Doc attend the call. Doc lets Sophie lead the help and James doesn't take too kindly to the experience elderly vet letting the new intern do the procedure.
However sparks are flying between them and they eventually agree to a no strings fling while they're both in town with the end date at the end of the summer when she goes to vet school and he goes back to bull riding.
James and Sophie can't ignore their growing feelings and want to stay in each others lives even if it means making huge sacrifices.
Final thoughts
I really enjoyed this.
Its a wholesome feel good book; nothing dramatic happens like the MC cheating its pretty calm. Aside from a hiccup of James freaking out about his feelings which he does for the most part to his brother and not Sophie I thought it was drama free. Something I needed to read in this world of uncertainty at the moment.
Would I read again?: Yes
Would I read this author again?: Yes
Would I continue on with the series?: Yes

I liked this! I thought it was pretty cute! There just wasnโ€™t anything that made me completely fall in love with it.
