Live, Ranch, Love by Emma Lucy
4.5
funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This was such a charming, feel-good read. Live, Ranch, Love has everything I want in a romance—grumpy/sunshine tension, forced proximity, sizzling chemistry, and a heroine I actually rooted for. Rory, the British wellness influencer, and Wyatt, the gruff cowboy rancher, were complete opposites in the best way. Their banter? Spot on. Their connection? Totally believable.

I really enjoyed the themes of healing and second chances, and the small-town setting made it all feel warm and cozy. It did slow down a little in parts, and a few plot turns were pretty easy to see coming, but honestly? I didn’t mind. I had such a good time reading this.

A great debut and a strong start to what I hope becomes a whole series. I’ll definitely be picking up whatever Emma Lucy writes next.

Thank you to NetGalley & Harper Collins UK for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
