okay listen, I loved it but I didn’t LOVE it, you know! I think it was so overhyped to me that I was expecting a cross between yellowstone and the eden’s series - which it had hints of, but I was definitely expecting a bit suspense 😅 that’s my own bad folks

summer was the perfect FMC for this story!! a city gal with a cowgirl heart, loving the drama and suspense of rodeos and ranch life 🥹 she’s basically me every time I watch yellowstone and google how expensive it is to live on a ranch 

rhett was the sexy rodeo bad cowboy with a reputation, and boy, did he live up to the hype!! however, I do think he has a lot to work on emotionally and not a lot of admission and work was done to earn summer’s trust 😶 I think there was a lot of miscommunication due to ✨ trauma ✨ and inability to place 100% responsibility on oneself, which frankly made me super angry

rhett’s actions towards the end of the book were unforgivable and a bit possessive, and I wish summer had stuck to her guns with holding him accountable 🥴 that being said, they really were super cute together

I cannot wait to read more about this family because I just want to insert myself in it thank you very much!!!

thank you to netgalley and bloom books for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!
