Cattle Stop by Kit Oliver
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
3.0
Ah! Heart squishies! That ending was so worth it! Also, totally didn’t realize this had spice and I tend to steer clear of spice so I won’t be commenting on that.
I just finished it so I may come back to redo my rating. But for now:
The good: we love farmers, they make the world go round, and Cooper and Whit definitely make my heart go round. Their chemistry was fun even when they were at each other’s throats because of the undercurrent of unresolved feelings. The plot line took turns I didn’t anticipate and characterization was revealed so smoothly (that thing about the mom really sold me)
The bad: I honestly wanted more of Drew and Penny’s personalities. I know they have a sequel but I’m not going to read it because it’s a m/f relationship which isn’t my cup of tea. I don’t mind lack of communication/miscommunication tropes because those feelings are valid but I know some people do, so there’s that.
The Ugly: Whit? Penny? Also, one of the Spanish translations are wrong and it killed me inside. I felt like more of an effort could be put in if you’re going to include Hispanic characters. And whit’s dad is named Luis. Like you obviously know what a Spanish name should be. That’s the reason this gets docked points honestly. Maybe Diana was not hispanic? I have a hispanic aunt named Diana (Dya-nah) so I’m only giving the author some leeway for that.
Overall: 3 stars is a good book I enjoyed and I’m actually probably going to buy this in paperback if it’s available. Would recommend for some light fun reading.
