Received this ARC through Tales & Teacups. I really enjoyed diving into the town of Silver Peak! While romance isn’t my main genre of choice, something about a modern rancher/cowboy romance always grabs me. Nash’s devotion to his daughter Bertie is heartwarming, the connection between Nash & Lily is incredibly strong, and the bond between the Miller brothers is unbreakable, adorable, infuriating, & beautiful. I found myself laughing often & riding the rollercoaster along with the characters. While some of the plot was a bit predictable (as this genre has tends to be) the character’s Ashton has created are lovable enough to look past that. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for Gunner & Wilder!
