Somebody Like Me by Stefanie K. Steck
4.25

Stefanie's writing is always so cozy, and I love how her romances come to life!

This book is a great cowboy romances for those who love a sweet rodeo cowboy, a city girl learning all she can about the country, and a little bit of drama. This book isn't quite closed door, but it's not explicit in the spice scenes. 

Kyla and Rhett have a meet cute in the bar. She's on her way through, leaving her home in Arizona to Washington to start over after leaving her fiancee. Rhett approaches, and she bets that she can list 5 correct things about him, and if she's correct, he'll leave her alone. She gets close, but doesn't win, so they end up hanging out. 

I loved the whirlwind romance these two have. It was fun that they are separated pretty quickly, and have to get to know each other over text. I love the surprises that come along that end up with a marriage of convenience, and how they resolve the issues that come up with that. He spends most of the book trying to find a nickname for her that she likes, and I thought that was super cute. Rhett's a dream.

Tropes:
Marriage of Convenience
Rodeo Rider x City Girl (teacher)
My Wife
Insta-Love
