I did not like the female main character, I thought I could get over it but the book has a slower pace and there are so many chapters written from her perspective, with internalized fat-shaming and her inability to form a close connection with others due to her childhood abandonment issues. It is a bit much of a "woe is me" situation, and her being unable to accept the good things in her life.

Also her saving all these farm animals and wanting to start an animal sanctuary rubs me the wrong way, as I think it is stupid. Especially since she herself eats chicken.

Not my usual sub-genre of romance book but I surprisingly enjoyed it. It surprised me at times but in a good way. An odd little storyline following Wyatt and his brothers and their past which resulted in some tension and resentment when it came to women but ultimately forced them to make an effort to stay close.

Loved the setting of the mountain and the small town. I enjoyed the closeness of Wyatt and his family and how grateful and appreciative they were of their relationships. I also liked how this extended to Trista.

Trista was an interesting character, she didn't have the best childhood which resulted in her pushing people away and being fiercely independent. She really deserved to be taken care of and looked after even if she didn't quite know how to accept it. She had some odd moments, and I didn't love her referring to herself as "I'm just a cow" so frequently but it made sense in the context. Also, although I loved that Wyatt ended up loving the animals, it did feel a little disrespectful to bring so many animals onto someone else's land without their prior knowledge or agreement but just a small little gripe.

Wyatt, bless him, was a man I loved in the book but would probably hate in real life. He was possessive and a little domineering with how much he cared and tried to take care of Trista but damn did he truly take care of her. She could literally want for nothing. He hid it beneath a slightly gruff exterior but man, he was so soft and loved so hard.

Lots of talk of pregnancy and Wyatt borderline had a breeding kink but their journey was interesting and non-conventional and the pregnancy was key to their and the story development. Honestly ended up really enjoying this book.

I've read a few romances that revolve around a pregnancy but this was a first! The surrogacy element added a lot of humor and tension that I really enjoyed.
