Thank you to the author for the ARC of Wishing for the Rancher’s Love by Jody Hedlund. All opinions are my own. 

It’s no secret that Jody Hedlund is one of my favorite authors. Everything she writes is just so good! This book is no exception. 

Wishing for the Rancher’s Love is book 5 in the High Country Ranch series. It takes place in Colorado and follows two people that can’t stand each other but secretly have feelings for each other. While this book can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading the first four books in this series first to avoid spoilers, and they’re amazing as well! 

Grady and Clementine have known each other for years, but somewhere along the way they turned from best friends into enemies. Every time they interact, they do nothing but bicker. Then one day, Clementine starts receiving mysterious notes and flowers from someone anonymously. When the notes become creepier and threatening, Grady decides he will do whatever is in his power to protect Clementine. 

I loved this book so much and didn’t want to put it down. The tension and passion between Clementine and Grady was so good! There were so many good kissing scenes, so you won’t be disappointed. 

Grady was so protective of Clementine, and I loved how he went to great lengths to keep her safe. I also enjoyed how he became vulnerable with her as they spent more time together. Clementine was so stubborn and headstrong, but I liked that she didn’t let Grady push her around. 

I also really liked the danger aspect of this story because it made me want to keep turning the pages to find out what would happen next. 

Overall, I would recommend this book! I’m sad this series is over, but I’m excited for Jody’s next western series.
