Rustic Hearts by Amber Kelly

3.0

I won't lie I picked this book up originally because I love this cover. I'm usually an illustrated cover girl, but I think this cover is stunning. Rustic Hearts had the small town vibe that I have been loving lately and is full of family, friends and drama; honestly I could see it being a television show. I enjoyed seeing Sophie connect with family, and I really did like the premise of this story. For the most part I did enjoy the side characters. There were some swoony moments, as well as some sweet and steamy. I did enjoy the relationship between Sophie and Braxton enough, but it's not anything groundbreaking. For me I would say it was a tad instalovey once we got past the "hate" part and neither instalove or enemies to lovers are my jam. While I did enjoy a lot about this book there was a bunch I didn't like (mostly the fact that both of Sophie's parents were awful, also I hate the fact that I was able to listen to this one but none of the rest have audiobooks available). I love that this book is the starter of a series. And eventually I will get around to reading more.
