"I’m not ever going to force you, Colt. You’ve gotta know that. But sometimes I just wanna shake some g0ddamn sense into you.” - Noah
"He makes me want. Even though it's him." - Colton
Noah lives with his uncle Walter, who is a father figure for him after his parents passed away. Colton lives with his brother Lawson, Jackson, Remi and his parents on the same piece of land. That's how they grew up, and they are a very close family. Both Noah & Colton make shoes for horses, so they are rivals, and this is a double bi-awakening small-town romance. This book was just very frustrating to read for a big part of the book, both of them hate each other. In the beginning, it was kind of playful/funny, but they kept having the same behaviours. And after saying the words "it didn't mean anything" a few times, that started to hurt them. They are both ALMOST 40, and still acting that way like children even after apologising. There was hardly any progress. Towards the ending, I started liking them together more; I wished that them being nicer to each other was a bit earlier in the book; that felt rushed to me.
“Colt. I’m trying to be an adult here.” - Noah
“By all means, please do try.” - Colton
Colton can talk about his feelings with his brother Remi, and I loved those moments, but Colton is so mean to Noah. At one point Noah texted him to ask if he was okay, to make sure that he hadn't crossed Colton's boundaries, but apparently that was "none of his business". I don't really like Colton (he's a good brother, but for a long time it didn't seem like he had any respect for Noah). I like that Noah was more dominant and put Colton in his place (literally put him over his shoulder), and Colton was so confused about why he liked that. I really love the Darling family. I love that they are close together, but I just KNOW Colton was raised better than this, to have respect and talk things through. I do really like Noah and the familiar moments within the family.
I received an ARC copy of this book.
