This book is Yellowstone meets cowboy romance! It has a tense secondary plot like Love Me Today and the ranch vibes of Elsie Silver and Done & Dusted. I liked Ruby and Charlie, I think their chemistry swayed more instalove than I prefer but I am a sucker for a protective MMC who is sweet under their grumpy exterior so they outweighed it for me. I felt that Ruby’s secret was drawn out much further than necessary. Despite that I think the tension between her desire for freedom, not wanting to be a burden, and her loved ones wanting to care for her was something you could feel while reading. I wish we got to see more of the secondary plot I felt the ending with that was quite rushed since it was handled by the other characters. I’m hoping book 2 will give some more insight into that portion of the plot. I would recommend this for someone looking for a cowboy romance with a side of tension and instant passion.
