Loved getting to see Winter finally get her HEA and heal from the trauma of her upbringing and her toxic ex that we saw glimpses of in the earlier books. Silver handled the topics of infertility, abusive relationships, and parenting very well and intermingled it with the joy, growth, and fear found in entering a healthy relationship after a toxic one.

Elsie Silver our ranch romance queen can do no wrong! I absolutely loved this book and couldn’t put it down. I found Winter and Theo’s story very compelling. I really enjoyed their dynamic and their banter. Theo was so sweet and supportive, always making sure he was what Winter needed. He so kindly reinforced his love and combatted her negative internalized narrative. Also shout out for being an acts of service king. I also really liked Winter, she had a lot of depth. I appreciated that based on her upbringing lashing out at people was a defense mechanism. I was so happy she finally had someone in her corner defending her. And can we talk about the two of them with Vivi? Just the sweetest little family. This book was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. I need everyone to read this book immediately!

After a lifetime of doing what everyone expects of her, Winter is taking back her life. That just happens to come in the form of a one night stand with a cocky, sexy bull rider named Theo.

I loved this book, it is my favourite in the series and I normally hate accidental pregnancy tropes.  I wasn't sure about reading Winter's book, because I really hated her character, but I am so glad that I did. Her story is a heartbreaking redemption story. Spiteful mother, neglectful father, sister pitted against her, husband who literally groomed her underage sister. Of course she has trust issues! Who wouldn't!? 

I loved how patient and understanding Theo was with Winter. He accepted her for who she was and never tried to change her. He gave her something she had never really had before - respect and unconditional love.
When he found out about Vivi, he seamlessly stepped into the role of partner and father. He supported Winter in every way possible. This is what a PARTNER looks like!
I really enjoyed seeing Winter's transformation as she learned to love herself and accept love from others. 

I LOVE the relationship between all of the family members and how they welcomed and rallied around Winter when she needed them. Also I really appreciate that we saw her mending her relationship with her father and ditching the toxic relationships in her life. 

I don't really understand the 18 month gap. Does he never return to the town? Rhett never happened to mention it to him? Though I get that this is plausible, 18 months seems like a long time span.


Tropes: small town, accidental pregnancy, single parent, grumpy/sunshine
