Thank you to the author for the ARC of Waiting for the Rancher by Jody Hedlund. All opinions are my own. 

Jody Hedlund quickly became one of my favorite authors last year, and her books never disappoint! I was so excited to be able to read this book early because her books are always so good and make me feel so happy. 

This is the first book in a new series, and I’m excited to read each book after loving this so much. 

Waiting for the Rancher had everything I could’ve wanted in a romance: chemistry, sizzling kisses, amazing characters, and love interests that care about each other so much. 

Maverick was such a swoony character. I loved how he flirted with Hazel and gave her a cute nickname. His chemistry with Hazel was amazing! 

Hazel was such a strong character, and I loved how she didn’t let her brother influence her in keeping away from Maverick. 

There were so many cute moments that made me smile. I loved how Maverick and Hazel kept finding themselves alone even though Maverick was trying to stay away from her. 

Hazel’s brother Sterling was irritating and irrational at first, but he did redeem himself in the end. 

Overall, this was an easy five star read for me, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good, closed-door romance with amazing chemistry and swoony kisses.
