Thank you for the e-copy from the authors in exchange for an honest review.

First, what you can expect from this book:

- small town
- enemies to lovers (dislike/hate to love)
- no third-act break up
- found family
- single mother x cowboy
- he falls first
- hurt x comfort
- grumpy x sunshine
- only one bed

This book is shouting freedom, but really. Frankly, it was wonderful in its own – even with its challenging topic. It will stay with me for a long time, that's for sure.

Logan was a very strong and really persistent protagonist, full of surprise and strength. She improved tremendously over the course of the book, and honestly, she really needed that. Crew, well, let's just say he was more complex than anyone else. He had things I couldn't identify with, but I have to say that he did everything for Logan and Ash, for which I owe him so much. I truly believe that he has finally begun to heal from his past and believe in the light again.

The supporting characters all added a lot to the narrative — or necessarily took away. Either way, I really fell in love with them, each in its own way.

Their love happened a little faster for me (even faster than it should), but maybe I only felt that way because the book is so short. But their nicknames, the little moments between them, and the endless devotion and care they showed each other were just wonderful.

Well, the plot wasn't much, that's a fact, but I didn't expect much different either. It was understandable and easy to go with, there was nothing complicated or difficult to decipher. I still felt like sometimes we stayed very much afloat and it didn't move much. I think the pace was quite ok, maybe I would
