Rustic Hearts by Amber Kelly
3.0
⭐⭐⭐.5 It was good and would recommend to most.
This was such a cute small town romance and I had a really good time listening to this. It felt similar to Rootbound by Tarah Dewitt which I loved.
Sophia returns to her home right for her grandmother's funeral but she's been asked to stay a bit longer until the will is read. There is immediate tension between her and Brax which of course creates a fun dynamic between the two. Eventually she starts to fall in love with being in the town, working on the family ranch and reconnecting with her family and friends.
I love a romance with angst and this had that, these two hated each other but were so purely attracted to each other. I will say I felt like I didn't feel their romantic connection was very strong but this is a short book so that is to be expected. I really enjoyed all the side characters there was so many cute funny moments with everyone involved. When the truth about why Sophia left came out she did forgive her mum quite quickly but I feel like that is warranted. This is a great book that shows flawed and human parents really are, I think as children we think that parents are perfect but they never truely are.
Tropes: small town, hate to love, opposites attract, nicknames (princess)
Triggers: family drama, loss of a loved one
