This was a wonderful cozy cowboy read! Wiley is a single father of twins and really needs some help. David comes back to town, and he is such an all-around caregiver. He helps with the ranch, the animals and Wiley's kids. Both of these guys are born cowboys but have become very different men. Loved watching them come together to care for each other and their families. I enjoyed how this story was realistic but without getting angsty. It stayed a fluffy sweet read!

This book was a breath of fresh air after my insta-lust, monster/dark romance binges of the last few weeks.

It tells the story of David, a special education teacher, who moves back to the family ranch to help his parents after his brother is killed in action and his dad has a heart attack, but his heart isn't really in ranching. He ends up looking after his niece and nephew and a friend's son, and this soon grows into establishing a daycare center at the ranch.

Wiley Marquart is the neighbour next door, an ex-rodeo cowboy and single dad to two adorable twin daughters, who is in desperate need of a babysitter for his girls so he can do what he loves: ranching. He finds out through the mom grapevine that David has a daycare, and soon the girls go there every day.

Wiley and David strike up a friendship, and soon David is smitten. But while David has been out and proud since his early teens, Wiley's sexuality is a bit more private, and all the talk of Wiley's missing-in-action wife confuses the hell out of him, especially because there is a definite spark between the two men.

This is a lovely, sweet, friends-to-lovers, small-town, low-angst story about two men becoming more than friends and slowly learning how to blend their families together to create a future they both so desperately crave.

I loved the slow pace of the novel as it gave the author enough time to show how David and Wiley become friends and then, ultimately, more than friends. I also loved that Wiley's ex-wife was never portrayed as a bad mother or

Spoiler

wanted to take the girls away; she's simply someone who became a mother and then realised that she was in over her head and gave Wiley the space and chance to be the best father he could be.

The children in the story were adorable and made me fall in love with the whole family!

This is a sweet story with a little something for everyone, from anxiety to fun-loving goats, horses, and a mini-yak! Ms. Tortuga knows her way with storytelling.

This is my first BA Tortuga book, but it will definitely not be my last!
