A one night stand just got a lot more complicated. Noah and Fisher are meant to be! I love Noah! She's fearless and strong, but also so understanding and mature. Poor Fisher is torn between his love for Noah and mending his relationship with his son Jase (didn't like him most of the book).

DNF 30% the fmc tryna come out as sassy but shes just plain rude & cringe to me idk lol can’t stand her
This is the first book in the Sugarland Creek series of interconnected standalones that tells the love stories of the members of the Hollis family. We start off with a bang for only daughter Noah and the twice her age cowboy she meets at the Franklin Rodeo. Fisher and Noah are steamy from the start, and I am here for it!
Tor Thom and Maxine Mitchell do a nice job with the narration duties in this audiobook. It's dual narration, so they each take the chapters from their character's POV. My only minor quibble is the pace of Tor Thom's narration. He's leaning into the whole slow talking Southerner stereotype, and at times it almost takes his accent into cartoony territory. I tried listening at a higher speed, and while that didn't have any negative impacts to Maxine's narration in my opinion, the same can't be said for Tor's. It definitely warps his accent into a less pleasing caricature. For me, this one is best enjoyed at 1x speed.
None of that takes away from the story though. Brooke Montgomery has pulled me into the world of the Hollis family and their neighbors and friends so thoroughly, that after reading and loving book#3, I had to start at the beginning and binge them all!

Great start to the series. Loved the age gap/forbiddeness aspect of their relationship. Loved meeting the entire Hollis family and cannot wait to continue this series.

what’s better than a cowboy romance? an age gap, ex-boyfriend’s dad cowboy romance! i love all the tropes in this book, they were executed so well. i am always a
noah meets fisher, a former bull rider twice her age, at a rodeo and they spend the night together, not knowing he’s her ex-boyfriend’s dad until the next morning. she sneaks out from his place, thinking she’d never see him around town again. what could possibly go wrong? she finds out he’s the new hire on her family’s ranch. fisher is back in town solely to rebuild his relationship with his son and dating noah will jeopardize all of that. can they keep their distance and stay just friends, while denying the attraction after that night?
i loved the chemistry between noah and fisher. because of the forced proximity and forbidden love, it made the tension and angst so delicious. the banter between them was also hilarious, i had the best time.
fisher was so protective of noah and i love how he prioritizes his relationship with his family. it made me so happy to see fisher have a second chance at love, make amends, and heal from his past. fisher had many regrets in life, but it was clear that loving noah, even when he knew that she was off-limits, was never one of them.
pick this one up if you’re a small town cowboy romance lover, you’ll have so much fun swooning over fisher
tropes: small town, cowboy, age gap, ex-boyfriend’s dad, workplace, forced proximity, forbidden love, secret relationship, one night stand, suspense/mystery subplot
