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.

This book had me kicking my feet like a school girl. Having Luke help Emmy through her mental block after her accident and, in turn, not only get closer with her but also helping her gain confidence behind the reins again was so precious and heartfelt. I loved how Emmy was able to see past her initial thoughts of Luke to see how loyal and soft-hearted he is. Having her step up to the plate and defend him, not out of any sense of obligation but simply because she cares for him, was so beautifully heartfelt. They balanced each other so well and are too cute.

This book was an easy, shallow read, but such a fun time. I loved how tender and sweet Emmy and Luke were to each other- I was literally melting when he held her in the barn the first time!! I absolutely hated Gus and his overprotective brother-ness. It made me very uncomfortable. And I didn’t enjoy the bedroom talk in this book, it was so different than their relationship dynamic outside the bedroom. All the conflicts wrapped up really easily and quickly at the very end of the book without a lot of internal conflict/tension, which made this a wholesome story (despite the spicy scenes lol). Considering the struggles that we saw hints of (Emmy’s ADHD and trauma from her accident, Luke’s generational trauma), I wish there was more depth, but it was still such a fun time where everything worked out in the end, if you want a happy ending cowboy romance!
