If Elsie writes it, Iโ€™m going to buy it. No questions asked. I originally intended on switching between the physical copy and reading it on my kindle, but when I saw Zachary Webber was narrating for Ford, I knew I had to get the audiobook as well. Yโ€™all, I freaking loved it! Am I surprised? Heck no. Zachary Webber and Vanessa Edwin did an amazing job bringing Ford  and Rosie to life! 

I absolutely love Willa, so when I first heard that this was going to be about Ford, and that he was going to be a single dad, I was beyond excited. The dynamic between Ford and Rosie was great, and their banter? Gah I loved it and their emails so much! Then thereโ€™s Cora. This girl stole the show for me and I adored seeing her relationship grow with both Ford and Rosie. It was truly something special๐Ÿ’•

This was my very first read by Natasha Madison and I loved it! It was such a beautiful second chance story. From the first few chapters, I already knew it was going to pull at my heartstrings and be an emotional rollercoaster of read. Natasha did an amazing job making me feel every single emotion and fall in love with the characters. Heck, from the very first chapter Luna and Rain had me! Those girls are so dang adorable and seeing how much Christopher cares for them made my heart melt. He literally made my heart continuously melt with how much he was there for Dakota and the girls. Then, seeing how the relationship between Dakota and Christopher grow? Gosh, it was so good and done so well!!!

Beat around the Bush by Karley Brenna

This was such a cute and easy read! I really enjoyed the relationship between Lennon and Oakley from start to finish. From their very first interaction, Lennon was completely smitten with Oakley. Although he comes off as a grump, he is actually a complete softie and is beyond sweet. He will do everything he can to protect and take care of Oakley. Oh, and we cannot forget the mouth on this man! I did not expect that and was so here for it!!

If youโ€™re looking for an easy romance read with a little suspense, I would definitely recommend checking this one out!

I freaking adore Bailey! Thank you for giving us Wells Ranch and this beautiful story. I literally cannot get over how much I loved it and it will be living rent free in my head for the unforeseeable future.  

Everyone knows Red as the bad boy, but they know nothing of Chase, the broken man tarnished by his fatherโ€™s reputation in town. When Cassidy comes to him for one revenge filled night on the hood of her exโ€™s truck, it leads to two tiny pink lines. She doesnโ€™t expect much from Red, but from the moment he finds out, he is all in. He wants to do better and be the man Cass and their little spud deserve. 

This book was filled with so much emotion and I felt every damn one of them. Seeing their personal growth throughout the book was beautiful and how they found themselves through each other. Other things I absolutely loved and this book is full of? The best banter, caretaking, spicy goodness, potatoes, hand necklaces, and of course the tattooed cowboy who provides those hand necklaces.
