I really enjoyed this book, and I think it's got me back into the cowboy romance trope ðŸ¤
There was a great mix of romance, humor, and heart-wrenching growth. Throughout the book, I found myself becoming more and more invested in the main characters' stories, particularly Caleb's. I also found myself rooting for the MCs, both in terms of their personal growth and their romantic relationship.
Speaking about the romantic relationship, there was a phenomenal blend of falling in love and absolute tension. I mean the Ferris wheel scene?! This mixture led to a much more believable romance and one that I felt myself craving and rooting for.
This love for the characters expanded beyond the MCs, and I am now unbelievably excited to read the upcoming books in the rest of the series that focus on the other characters!!
All this being said, I haven't been able to fully put my finger on it, but the ending left me a little disappointed. I think the whole book had been building up to the 'ultimate decision' about whether the romance would continue after the summer, but this was sped through before this climax could be reached. I'm not saying that there should have been a third act break-up or a massive fallout, but I think there needed to be a slightly bigger impact on this turning point.
Overall, a great book, and I am very excited to read the rest of the series!
