Thank you to the author for the E-ARC, this book comes out June 7
I just loved this book, it was sweet, it was lighthearted yet had a bit of angst, it was funny, had emotion, had found family and I ate it up. After having loved book 2, I was really excited about Boone and Grady’s story and it did not disappoint. We have Boone who’s a bull rider single dad on his way to getting divorced and Grady who dropped out of college in order to peruse his dream of photography and he happens to be no other than Boone’s soon to be ex wife brother who so happened to move in with them for the summer and who will eventually will end up getting a job as a photographer and having to go on the rode with Boone and there might just be an attraction there starting to flourish but it’s forbidden 🤭 I quite liked both of our main characters and liked their journey individually and together and loved how they had a deep attraction to each other and no matter how hard they tried and they did try to stop, they couldn’t deny it and kept coming back to each other. I also thought that the way both handled and talked to jade was sweet and held emotion and I’m happy that jade too in the end ended up happy plus little Suzy was a treasure too and her relationship with her dad and her uncle was precious. Overall this book really was so cute and I was all here for it, I’m invested in the well being of these people and I loved seeing Xander and Cope again as well as Sterling and Shooter who’s a little shit but we love him anyways. Just the found family 10/10. So yeah like I said I really liked this book and I had a great time with it and I cannot wait for book 4 🤭☺️
