I had fun reading Rider's Block. I enjoyed all of the characters and the cowboy theme. Just like her first book, Andrews did a fantastic job with the slow burn romance. I thought Amelia and Eric were fantastic main characters. I liked reading Amelia's POV and watching her grow more comfortable with her feelings towards Eric. I adored Amelia and Eric's relationship. I liked their chemistry and tension. Once they warmed up to each other, it was fun to watch their walls go down. Eric was such a sweet book boyfriend. I liked how he went about pursuing Amelia. I thought the side characters were well written. I enjoyed the Randall brothers, especially Dean! It was fun to have a mini romance within the story. The Randall family was so opening and supportive. Andrews did a great job with the found family trope. She also nailed the forced proximity and grumpy/sunshine tropes. The Colorado setting felt fleshed out and believable. I felt like I was there in the plains with Amelia! I especially enjoyed the camping trip scene. That whole storyline was funny...especially with Dennis and Dean. I did feel like there were some things that could have been explained better. For example, Amelia mentioned her "deadline" multiple times before it was pointed out that it was a self-induced deadline. This confused me at first. I also was unsure what genre Amelia wrote. It was mentioned that she's a romance writer; however, the whole plot line was about her writing a mystery. I thought that whole storyline could have been clearer. Lastly, I did notice some past tension issues in the writing. Overall, I thought this was another terrific novel by Andrews. Thank you to Netgally and Waitlyn Andrews for the ARC.

Pull on your (red) cowboy boots, pour a glass of Pendleton and strap yourself in because this was a rollercoaster of a read! From the very beginning, it twists and turns through various life events both joyful and upsetting - it had me sighing, grumbling, grinning and kicking my feet in a matter of pages. Each chapter is accompanied by a song which turns into a pretty great playlist!
It reads like it feels, that you could sit with the characters and enjoy dinner or drinks together and chat about your lives.
I love the relationship that Amelia (Mia) and Eric develop - give me a MMC that communicates anyday! And I thoroughly enjoy the dynamics of the Randall family but what I truly enjoyed the most, was the relationships of the women in the book and that is what will pull me back time and time again to reread.

No fiddle-farting around, go and pre-order your copy of Rider's Block! Released on September 26th!

Finished this in less than 5 hours! It hooked me FAST. I really love cowboy romances and thought this one was a great addition to the subgenre. It has gorgeous descriptions of settings and hits a lot of great tropes. Found family and grumpy x sunshine being my two favorites.
The reason it lost a star is because the middle kind of dragged their romance in my opinion. Also, I felt like her character could’ve had more reflection and growth other than her having an epiphany (if that makes sense). Her issues with her father just felt open ended, but other than that I really enjoyed this read!

Me encantó. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Es mi primer libro de Waitlyn y definitivamente no será el último, ahora mismo voy por Yes, Chef.


Ameilia y Eric son personas tan opuestas, ella es sociable, amable y él es lo contrario o al menos eso es lo que quiere que todos crean.

Me encantó la evolución de Eric. Al principio me cayó mal, se me hizo un grosero y no tenía idea como la autora lograría darle un giro, pero lo logró y poco a poco lo vi con otros ojos.

Algo que también me gustó mucho fue que la relación se dio poco a poco a pesar de que los dos se gustaban, prefirieron conocerse como amigos, pero había pequeños gestos que revelaban sus sentimientos por mas que intentaran ocultarlos.

Ameilia tiene inseguridades por el abandono de su padre por lo que le cuesta creer en los hombre y se nota mucho en sus reaciones antes Eric. Algo que me encantó fue que esto no se "resolvió" mágicamente con el poder del amor, ella tuvo que trabajar con sus miedos, enfrentarlos, también ayudó que Eric le tuvo paciencia, entendió porque se se tía de esa manera y todos los días le demostró que no era y jamás sería alguien como su padre.


La escena del casco se me hizo tan linda porque refleja como Eric le demuestra que las opiniones y sentimientos de ella son muy importantes para él.



Sólo tengo una queja, ¿por qué contar toda la historia de Penny y Dean en lugar de hacerlo en su propio libro?


Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

An amazing cowboy romance by Waitlyn Andrews. This book was my introduction to this author and I was not disappointed.

Characters who can comunicate well will always be a win in my book (Everyone needs an Eric). As much as I love these mcs, I cannot get over my love for the supporting characters. The family dynamic adds a touch of realism to the story.

The details and descriptions of the Colorado scenery has you immersed in this book.

Ehhhhhh so my feedback will be short because I ran into a bump early on I can’t ignore. There was a use of a slur when she was ordering her sandwich that I recommend be removed from the book before publication. The term is offensive to indigenous peoples and the bread has been renamed. In hopes that this gets resolved I won’t publish my review to goodreads until I double check the final version. But this should’ve been caught sooner, literally if you google the word it comes up as offensive. Even my kindle dictionary deemed it an offensive term.

This book was so good and I wanted more. I loved it so so much. It was an emotional roller coaster. I want to give the book 10 stars if I could but it was so good. I want more books from this writer.

Waitlyn Andrews’ contemporary cowboy romance had me considering a one-way ticket to Colorado’s cowboy country!

Andrews was able to rope in this reluctant Western reader by combining my love of fiction with a cowboy romance. She took a disgruntled author on the rise and sent her on a writing retreat to the ranch of Rodeo Royalty.

Her rich setting with vivid descriptions pulled me in, but her layered characters who were loyal to their family and loved their land kept me reading. Andrews showed that beneath the gruff exterior and iconic Stetson, there was a loyal, chivalrous man who had great respect for his heritage and enough room in his heart to accommodate a depressed author.

Andrews knows how to wrangle our feelings, too! Her closed-door story had lots of heart and cowboy charm and I wondered how long it would take Amelia ‘Mia’ Greene to fall head over (red) boots for Eric Randall.

I smiled at the contents of Eric’s first aid kit, read in awe at the courageous and dedicated cowboys, and learned lots!

I appreciated Andrews’ examination of cowboy culture, how she was able to lasso a budding romance and give me insight into the road to publication. Her grumpy/sunshine contemporary western romance is one I’d recommend. No “fiddle-farting” - go preorder it!
