The second book in the Silver Pines series hits all the right notes! Ivy is a strong, determined heroine with a backstory that pulls you right in, and Wade? I may or may not have a new favorite cowboy. His quiet acts of service and steady presence make him the perfect match for Ivy. Their chemistry strikes the perfect balance between spicy and tender. I absolutely loved seeing them take care of each other in the ways they needed to be taken care of.
What really makes this book shine is how Ivy and Wade grow both individually and as a couple. The mutual respect they have for one another makes them truly special. Their journey feels so real, and the supporting characters add a lot of heart with a wonderful found-family vibe. (Shoutout Grandpa Dean. LOML.)
If you love stories with strong leads, great side characters, and a touch of heat, you won’t want to miss this one. I’m already counting down the days to the next book! 🙌✨
