I absolutely adores this one! This one pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention the entire time. I loved Kelli and Luke! This can be read as a standalone but if you have read the previous books in the series then you will recognize both Kelli and Luke. Luke is one of the brothers and Kelli has been working at the ranch for years and has just about become part of the family. I loved watching Luke immediately want to take Kelli to the event with him, knowing she was the perfect person. Kelli finally wants to take her chance and make a move on Luke and the Gala is the perfect opportunity. I loved how strong Kelli is and that she lets Luke know when he has messed up and gets her point across. Luke was great too as he started to see Kelli in a different light, as a woman and one that there could be something with. Once he started seeing it, he couldn't believe he missed it the whole time. I loved watching them together as they just fit and this story was very cute and adorable because of it. I loved watching them work things out. This story was easy to dive into and I wanted to stay. I can't wait for the next book in the series!
The narrator did a great job with the characters and bringing the story to life.
