"4/5 ⭐️dual pov and available on KU. If you love a cowboy romance this is a great option!! Loved both main characters arcs. I love how the mmc Austin is confident about some things but also so nervous about how to behave around Cecily. I loved the contrast. It's a slowish burn. Once that picked up at the 50% mark I was in! There was some good spice! Probably a 2-2.5/5 spice level. There isn't a lot of scenes but the ones that are there are good! Overall a really good time! Love the side characters and looking forward to the next book! "

"super duper cute cowboy (not a cowboy) small town romance :))<br/>esp for a debut!!<br/>great writing and cute found family. looking forward to seeing more from this author !!<br/><br/><br/><br/>my incentive that may be a small spoiler, depends on how you view it:<br/>she has an abusive ex and he beats him up. literally was giggling<br/>"

"in between a 2-3⭐️<br/><br/>i feel like the beginning had such a powerful start but as we get introduced to new characters the story becomes less and less powerful, there needed to be buildup on the relationship for me, and the sex scenes one word: yuck!!!"
