This one took me a little while to get into. But once I did it worked for me. I loved seeing Colt & Avery find their way back to each other, though I wish it had been more balanced. It feels like everything is blamed on Colt and all the faults are laid at his feel, when Avery was just as responsible. It takes two. Everything is put on Colt, and Avery never has to compromise or adjust. The last misunderstanding really highlights this. Colt does something, Avery FLIPS out, is pretty insulting and dismissive and storms off but when it's resolved it's Colt apologizing. It's Colt making concessions. It's Colt adjusting his expectations. Avery doesn't do anything but be "magnanimously forgiving". It honestly ruined it for me a little bit. The entire book is Colt trying to prove himself to Avery...while Avery doesn't do half as much to prove himself to Colt. It's so frustrating. This isn't to say I hate Avery...I don't. I just wanted more balance. I loved seeing the ranch, and the characters that live there. I liked seeing Mack move towards forgiving Colt and realizing he was going through stuff as well. Intrigued by the hints of who is for Reyes, I think I'll love that book. I liked the scenes with their respective families. I appreciate that while Colt's were happy to see him they weren't magically accepting (they weren't jerks) and that while Avery's mom was a little standoffish she had her reasons and she comes around.
