Sometimes you need a quick feel good, giggling and kicking your feet story and that’s what this book did for me. I love the brothers best friend trope, and the keep your hands off her vibes. Also i’m always in for a Western story.

Somewhat entertaining.  a fun enough read when I’m stuck indoors ☔️🤧 even though  small town and cowboy romance aren’t usually for me.

I picked because of rave reviews and the explicit representation of ADHD in the FMC. I liked some of the dual POV but it felt uneven and duplicative at times. 

The author says the MMC is inspired by /based on Tim Riggins from FNL. I can see it. I liked Tim and Lyla when I loved the show. 

the plot and drama felt unevenly paced. 

I didn’t buy the reaction of Gus. It felt artificial and cliche. Wes was a more relatable reaction of a brother. The miscommunication/ withheld secrets were annoying to read through. 

The sad story of the MMC’s family felt lopsided. I appreciate the effort to have more reality woven in. But the excessive reactions of the half brother and father were disappointing cliches. 

The FMC exboyf was something I expected to resurface. Oh well. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The spice was 🫦🌶️   And being concise and brief can be better than drawn out scenes. Sadly the build up didn’t feel like I got a return of the time invested in the semi slow burn.  I would have liked to savour more scenes of them exploring their sensual and physical chemistry together. 

The western style horse riding stuff feels somewhat relatable to the back and equestrian horseriding I did when I was younger and obsessed with horses and riding. 

I don’t see myself rereading this book. Which is why it doesn’t get 4 or more stars.
