Rating: 5/5 stars

Violet and Cole had an online relationship before she ghosted him—but when they’re thrust back together at the ranch, sparks will fly.

This is a bold statement given how much I loved Chestnut Springs, but this might be in my top three favorite Elsie Silver books so far. I absolutely LOVED Cole—my love language is acts of service and this man DELIVERS with gestures big and small. His journey was also so sweet and tender and made me tear up. The way he talked about Violet and her sunshine???? Chef’s kiss.

Violet was also everything I wanted to be—sunshiney and soft but still tough as nails underneath. The way she handled the third act conflict was so real and honestly so healthy and I am so here for it.

Finally, I am the first to say I can be picky about horse books because I grew up around horses, but Elsie really nailed it here and I have no particular complaints—in particular, Cole’s issues around horses and coming to terms with the events of his past were incredibly realistic and relatable.

CW: PTSD/panic attacks; death of parent; body image issues

Probably would've been higher if it wasn't completely unrealistic to

win every single race,

and her grudge with her family was explained a little more. Overall a cute, simple slow burn romance with a third act breakup.
