This is definitely going to become a favorite series of mine. I loved the first one, and this one I loved JUST as much.

4.5 ⭐️ I knew the second book would be perfect and I wasn’t wrong!!!! I’m loving this series so much that I can already say it filled a spot in my heart that’s been empty since Chestnut Springs 😭💖

Wade and Ivy had me hooked from the very first chapters and tbh I don’t know which one I loved more bc they’re literally perfect for each other in every way, the proof of that is even though I usually hate that kind of surprise at the end, I loved it for them (especially after everything Ivy went through)

The family scenes were as perfect as in the first book and when they were all together it was definitely my favorite moments. If you want a super quick read that’ll warm your heart and make you believe in happy endings, this is the one!!!

I've completely fallen for the cowboy/ranch romance trope and this series does not disappoint! While I felt the southern accents/sayings were a bit over the top, I do love the Ashby family and their honorary family members. The grumpy/sunshine trope was well done and I always enjoy when the main character takes care of the other after an accident. They developed into good friends and then lovers.

The chemistry between Wade and Ivy practically ignites the pages. Their relationship unfolds like a wild ride, filled with tension that crackles with every interaction. Watching Ivy’s sunny disposition break through Wade’s walls is a joy, she brings a whirlwind of chaos that disrupts his carefully controlled world, and it’s impossible not to root for them. The passion that simmers beneath their bickering is electrifying, and when it finally erupts, it’s nothing short of fireworks. I was completely captivated by their journey from resistance to surrender, as they navigate their differences and discover that love can thrive in the most unexpected places. This book is a heartwarming, steamy escape that left me cheering for their happily ever after.

Great read. I cannot wait for the third book. I will be patiently (not so patiently) anticipating its arrival.
