In this house, we honour : Good men that are not scared to be vulnerable, have good communication skills with your partner AND at least TRY to work out your inner-demons.
And yes, Rhett Eaton is basically all that and more and I LOVE THIS BOOK to a point it made me just giddy just thinking about it.
Personal Ratings : 4.25🌟
Spicy Level (18+): 4/5🌶 (Damn)
A cowboy bull-rider who looks tough on the outside but is very soft at heart and a PR who is very much a people pleaser and has been a caretaker her whole life....... Come together and BOOM they molded to become one of a whole.
Firstly, lets just say how much of a softie I am when in comes to
✨Smalltown-romance
✨A male character whose not afraid to show that he's vulnerable
✨A VERY likeable female character
✨Very family-oriented
and well..... Cowboys? Damn I didn't even know it will be a thing for me till I read this book HAHHAAHHAAHAH. ( The Eaton brothers tho... damn)
Anyways..
This book for me has a good mash of buildup, with the problem at hand for both of them didn't feel "convenient", like its there just for the sake of being there, so I have to give kudos to that for the author cause I will be pissed to read another "problem" that popped out SEEMINGLY out of nowhere. It just pisses me off. I liked that the book has a Dual POV , so we get to know BOTH of their thoughts which made me love the book even more. What's more, I love the Tension that they have for each other, and how they came together, for me was natural and cute and VERY HOT .
There were some parts that I teared up a bit because I can relate to Summer so so much. She's such a positive woman that tries to be optimistic in life, and having a personality like Rhett with her just... well.. suits and I love them for it. I also liked how the author showed how someone who had been heavily gaslighted and groomed her whole life can actually mess up a person to make them feel unworthy of love; which to me is something that needs to be addressed and I applaud the author for that. Honestly, I can't wait to read her other books... cause.... damn I CANT WAIT FOR CADE's AND WILLA's book cause that ticks off all of my boxes.
What didn't make it a 5 star was I think just the overall... feel? I don't know how to pinpoint it, but I felt that there were some parts of the book that just.. didn't really come together? Its mostly me I think, but there was a part of the story that made me felt... I think..is more on it being an Enemies to Lovers, but for me..... it wasn't really that? I don't know how to word this well but I feel that they're more just irked at each other and not really enemies so I think its mostly on how it was marketed that ticked me off a bit.
But overall, I REALLY enjoyed this and I can't wait to read more of the series! Definitely would love to read the rest of the author's works because I love finding underrated authors to stan hehe.
Highly recommended!
