Twin Springs Ranch by Isla Ryder
4.0

Sometimes we get everything we hope for. And sometimes we get what we didn't know we needed. And that sums up the slow-burn romance between Brax and Sydney. Brax wants nothing more than to get rid of his father's ranch and get back to his neatly ordered life. Sydney and her love for Twin Springs Ranch isn't a part of that plan. Sydney doesn't like anything about what Brax represents, but her reaction to him suggests something else. Sydney is determined to paint Brax as the bad guy no matter what he does, and he's just the right mix of grumpy and lovable. These two have good chemistry whether they admit it or not, and you can't help but want them to work out even when they're busy pushing against each other. Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite romance tropes, and well... cowboys, right? There aren't a lot of secondary characters in this quick read, at least not a lot that we need to get to know. There is a reason for that, but I don't want to give any spoilers. The ones that are included are developed and the whole story is engaging and entertaining. As I mentioned earlier, this is a slow-burn romance, but the story is a quick read that I finished in an afternoon. I like that it's a well-rounded story and it gave me a chance to get lost in it for a few hours.
