The Cowboy Whisperer by Sabrina Sol

5.0

This is a quiet, closed-door romance, and I loved every minute of it. Tomas has dedicated his life to the horses at his family's ranch, Rancho Lindo. With the ranch in a precarious financial position, he is willing to accommodate the wealthy Veronica and keep her happy. Veronica is trying to avoid the public eye as she prepares for equestrian Olympic qualifiers. These two have past traumas, but they lean on each other to work through them in an open, even if at first guarded way. This is very much a slow burn, but the magic is in watching these two get to know each other and let go of first impressions. There is also a small section of fake dating that is handled so well that the transition to real dating is completely seamless and believable.  

If you did not read the first Rancho Lindo books, you can still jump right in and not miss much, but if you did read the first book, we do get to see the couple from the first book here, and it is lovely. I very much loved this return to the world of Mexican-American cowboys.
