There is nothing really wrong with this book. I personally just prefer a bit more fun and a little less death in my romances. I did not go into this expecting cancer to be such a heavy theme. That might be on me, not the book. The romance parts weren't too bad, I just didn't connect with the characters.
Loved the cowboy theme though.

This was a cute cowboy romance.
I wanted to love it more than I did, the pacing wasn't always on track, at times it was slower, and then faster, but it didn't feel like it was needed for the story.
I really enjoyed the open communication between the MMCs until they went to not communicating, it felt like regression in the book

I wanted to love this one, I really did. The premise itself sounded really great, and I liked that our characters were a bit older and had clear visions for what they wanted out of a relationship at this stage. That was refreshing.
But unfortunately I just didn’t get on with this book. The writing felt jarring, with characters moving between scenes without any sort of description or explanation, flitting from scene to scene and leaving me confused as to how they got there. I didn’t get a great feel for the setting or the characters so found it hard to connect to the story or care about anything that was happening.
I didn’t love some of the plot points, and the romance/smut felt too instant for me without any build up. Our MFC felt so much younger than she was supposed to be.
This could be a good read for someone, but it just wasn’t the one for me.
Thank you NetGalley and Avon Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Hunter is a cowboy helping his family’s ranch while his father is battling cancer. Caroline is a soon to be divorced doctor trying to find herself again in her career and personal life. Caroline is in the United States for one year working on her resume by researching different types of cancer and working with clinical trials. The two meet in a bar and there is instant chemistry.
I like that this book didn’t follow the typical ‘city girl meets cowboy and throws away all her plans to stay on a ranch with him’ storyline. It was actually a breath of fresh air to be completely honest. With that being said, the storyline of this book itself was great and had so much potential, but it left something to be desired. The writing came across as rudimentary at times. It lacked grammatical clarity and there was some confusion between first person/third person that made it feel cumbersome and hard to get through. The scene transitions were also poorly done which made reading feel choppy.
Overall, I did love the storyline because it was interesting and had different twists and turns that were unexpected. If you are able to look over the writing issues when there is a good story this book is a good choice for you. I personally felt it was lacking and wouldn’t recommend it at this time. Additionally, the eARC formatting was cumbersome and hard to get through.
I want to thank Maggie Eckersley and NetGalley for the chance to read this eARC. I always appreciate the opportunity.
This was not the best but also not the worst thing ive read in a while
But the writing… it needs a lot of work
Thank you to the publisher for the arc
