4.25⭐️ My fave couple so far in the series! Loved the character development in this and the “villains” made it interesting! It was satisfying to see Sloane find her voice.
Jasper desperately needs a good therapist tho🥲

This was cute, but it didn’t quite hit me the way I expected it to. Maybe it was just the wrong time. It felt like there wasn’t much happening and the story was very focused on character growth. I thought I’d LOVE Jasper but sadly I didn’t. He was still fine though. I’m glad about the way things happened towards the end.

At first I thought Sloane would have to show up at Jasper‘s game but him showing up for her was so much better

. Otherwise it would’ve been all about men again (btw f u Sloane‘s dad and ex fiancé!! I don’t think I’ve disliked any men in a romance book this much before (I have but they’re probably still in my top 10)) and that would’ve upset me very much.

The proposal at the ending was a bit much for me too

but I don’t like that in general. BUT I’m SO EXCITED to read about Winter and Theo in the next book! The crumbs I got in this one were so good!!!

The whole story didn’t seem to gradually build up; the climax seemed to be at the beginning and gradually wind down throughout, in terms of plot line. I didn’t feel like I got to know Sloane as an MC; I didn’t know much about her or her personality. The romance seemed to always be there and was kinda boring, honestly. I almost DNF’d a few times.

Powerless was exactly what i needed at this point of my reading year. Somehow i still have to encounter the first Elsie Silver book i dislike, because this one was not on that list. I've been curious about Jasper since he was first introduced in book 1 of the series and finally we got to spend some time with the broody mystery man. Sloane was a cutie pie, too, but I loved watching her develope some sharper edges throughout their story.

I've gotta say, the romance is good, it really is, but i do keep coming back for the found family aspect. I feel like the ranch would be a home to everyone and it's nice to come back to it through the various characters.
This one i really liked, no complaints, five star romance, a million star found family.
