First, thank you to Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for this review! 

I really enjoyed this story. In a huge cowboy fan and i felt like this was an original take on the trope!

Overall this was like a 3.75 for me! It was a very sweet closed door romance and I fell in love with Mia and Eric instantly. I’m a little happy he gave up the grump act quick and he wasn’t exactly mean to her. Grumpy/sunshine is a favorite of mine, but sometimes people toe the line between grumpy and mean/bully. Eric was just a closed off guy afraid of showing his feelings 🫣 it was sweet and beautiful. 

The writer plot I think was also done very well. Often it can be too cliche or written weirdly around tropes but I loved the angle take here. 

Dean and Penny also made for very loveable characters and before realizing we’d see their story play out here, I found myself hoping they get their own book! 

I’m happy I was able to read this, would recommend for cowboy lovers :)  


There were a few spelling and grammar issues within this version of book itself and white it didn’t exactly impact the rating it definitely stuck out to me here, so if you’re a stickler for that keep in mind. Hopefully they’re found before release 🤞🏽
