I am so gutted this series is over. I want to read about these characters forever. 

I went into A False Start thinking no characters could beat Mira and Stefan but Nadia and Griffin sure did put up a fight. This story broke my heart and healed my heart. Was I ridiculously frustrated in places because how dare anyone tell a young woman what is or isn’t right for her? Absolutely. Did I completely understand why this tale had to take the paths it did? Absolutely.

My only criticism is that I think the book could have been a bit more concise, but, then again, I’d also happily read about these two forever soooo… who am I?

Honestly, a bazillion stars. This is 100% my favourite Gold Rush Ranch book.. but sneaky Nadia and Griffin might be one of my favourite couples?! 🤭 don’t sleep on this series especially if you loved Chesnut Springs🫶
