When I first started reading, I didn’t think I was going to enjoy or finish it. However, I hit a point where it started to pull me in and I’m so glad it did. I loved the humor in the book and the characters were entertaining. I would definitely recommend reading! 

At the beginning of the book, I knew eventually Sara would have to end up with him. Although, while reading I just kept thinking, “how is she going to love him after doing this to her?” but when it hit the point that he put her on his horse and let her ride with him, I knew he was gone for her and that was how it started.

I loved every minute of this book. It is a very slow burn type of romance and I loved the realness of the main character. The story itself was also moving in certain parts and it did a great job at displaying the complexity of humanity—in all its good and bad. The spicy 🌶️ scenes were written well and my only complaint in that regard is that I couldn’t get enough! 😝🖤 Five star read for sure!

The banter is on point. Just enough smut, but more about the relationship and world than that.
