WYATT!!! Enough said. That is my review LOL. OMG!! I have been WAITING to see how this one was going to pan out since the end of Cash and Jessica IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! Wyatt was beyond anything I could have imagined. I have found myself reading these boy obsessed books recently and Wyatt tops the list. He has officially been added to my top cowboy ever read. He was just sooo dreamy and perfect. He had this mask of being extroverted and a playboy when in reality he didn't want to let anyone in. He was terrified of being hurt again. And then we have Sally our wonderful resident vet with her fancy education that has made her that much more exceptional. She was also just wonderful. She had loved Wyatt for forever but never knew how he felt. She didn't care how she could have him in her life she just wanted him there. She knew how to give him space and reach him when no one else could. I loved and hated the fake dating thing- I mean come on people. Does that happen in real life?? Why would someone subject themselves to fake date the person they actually secretly love? Well because if that's all they can get then they will take it. Their chemistry was an inferno. The spicy lesson scenes were next level- I was fanning myself when they BOTH ended up getting tied up. Jessica you have a way with these scenes let me tell you. The moment of truth though when they told each other how they really feel felt SO perfect. It was the perfect amount of buildup. Their reactions were shock and awe that they actually get to experience these things together like for real though.
Sally is back home for a bit before she makes her big move to New York for the job she has wanted her whole life. Well at least she thinks that's what she wants. But what she KNOWS she wants is some fun before she leaves. Except she can't talk to guys like at all. She clams up. She gets in her head. The only one she can be herself around is Wyatt. Her best friend and town playboy. The man just knows people. So when she works up the courage to ask him to be her fake date to a town event she expects rejection but she gets a yes. And now they are doing this. She is getting dressed up for Wyatt. She is holding hands with Wyatt. She has to remind herself that this is all fake. But the chemistry between them is unlike anything she has felt before. So when the guys she kind of wants to be with throws her a bone she thinks she is going to take it but Wyatt is acting weird. He acts like maybe he doesn't want this to be fake. So she trusts her gut and goes after him. And then they kiss and it is earth shattering. How can this be the case with her best friend? They agree to keep doing this with benefits now. But nothing else. But then she realizes how happy she is and she can't hide it anymore. She tells him how she feels and he actually RECIPROCATES. And NOW they are telling her parents. And she is realizing that she feels more at home here in her element than she would as a small nobody in New York. She just hopes that her family and Wyatt will support her decision to stay because this is her town and he is HER cowboy.
Wyatt has been in love with his best friend since the day she came home for his parents funeral. She showed up and knocked down all of his walls. He doesn't let ANYONE in the way he lets her in. But he knows he has to let her go. He can't ever be the person that holds her back even if it's not intentional. So she leaves but now she is back like 10 years later. And Wyatt has created a reputation for himself of a ladies man. All of it is for show though. He wants to settle down and find his lady. It just can't be Sally. But then she asks him to be her fake date and he finds himself too scared to be honest so he says yes. Why he does this he doesn't know. But then he shows up to get her and she's in THAT dress. And there is this energy between them that maybe has always been there but now it's like THERE. How can he let her go home with someone else. Well he just can't. So he makes a stand. He half tells her the truth. He wants her and only her but no strings. Well that backfires big time because Sally makes him feel things behind closed doors he has NEVER felt. I mean the reaction he had to her calling him Daddy- unheard of for him. So he decides to be honest right when she is. They want more. They want this to be real. Wyatt finds himself opening up to her about his parents unlike he ever has. Everything just feels RIGHT with her. Like even though it's fast it's not because this has developed. Does it hurt how attracted he is to her? Absolutey not. But there is an endgame in mind- she is moving to New York. He just has to convince her to bring him with her if she will take him.
Jessica does SUCH a good job of making you absolutely fall in love with her characters. I wanted to be best friends with everyone in this story. I wanted to be at the Rattler watching this slow dance between these two and being a fly on the wall in the barn (IYKYK). I loved how everyone around them had been waiting for them to finally catch up to their feelings. I laughed out loud in this one. The way Wyatt talked in and out of bed was heavenly and sinful. Now we move onto Sawyer- and thank you NOT for that tease at the end with Ada. Can't wait to hear more about how they "know" each other.
Thank you to Valentine PR and Jessica for a copy of this one in exchange for an honest review! If you haven't picked this series up, I can't recommend it enough!
