𝑴𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒚. Paisley Hope has done it again only…somehow better the second time around? This five star, five hundred 🌶️ read might be my Best Small Town Romance of 2025 🥵 The plot is also…plot! No but actually, it’s great. The grumpy ranch owner and the sunny horse trainer, accidental roommates, a hotel room with only one bed, and the SCRUNCHIE. The. Scrunchie. When mortal men say ‘I love you’ but Wade Ashby said ‘there’s no me without her anymore, she just doesn’t know it yet’ 🫠
