I really enjoyed this one much more than I was expecting! The cowboy romance genre has never really called to me but I saw this one and KU, saw there was no 3rd act breakup, and decided to give it a try. I’m very glad I did!
I found Emmy very relatable, especially with her anxiety, and I see a lot of myself in that. Luke breathing with her made me want to cry because that’s what my bf does for me. I absolutely loved their relationship and how the tension was there immediately!
This one is definitely more cowgirl centered than cowboy and I think that’s maybe why I liked it! We saw Emmy ride and overcome. We saw Luke help out and support her (as he should).
I think that Gus was way more extra than necessary and I feel like the next book should’ve been his and Teddy’s since we barely hear about Wes. I’m still excited though and I’ll definitely be keeping up with this series!!
