Devney knows how to write this trope with the utmost perfection ❤️ Although there is not anything Devney writes that isn't perfect (yes, I am a total fan girl 😆)

Jax and Sasha were such a cute couple! I loved Jax because he was such a playboy in Crossroads, but he is completely changed in Sunlight. Some might even say...swoon worthy 😍 Loved him so much. Their banter is top tier and the tension....was tensioning. Also, the hidden story of who Eddie is, had me foaming at the mouth!! Loved this book so much!!

I read this in one sitting and can't to re-read with the audio!

ARC Review-Releases 10/14

Jax and Sasha don’t understand each other so they don’t tolerate each other well which makes working together a challenge. Sasha comes off as cold and Jax has a history of just being in it for a good time. When they find out Sasha’s pregnant, they begin to see each other differently.

“Tell me a lie” “It was terrible and you’ll hate it”. Please know that this story was perfect. I haven’t felt this way about a Devney story since Juniper Hill. There’s something magical about Sunlight. This will forever stay with you.

Jax and Sasha. Both are flawed and hurt from their past. Sasha’s early POV chapters you can feel her sorrow. Right from the start you feel Jax love. He is absolutely gone for Sasha. I will never get over these two.

“He was the balancing force I’d been missing for so long. He was the place I could lean when the world flipped. He took everything in stride and nothing too seriously.” ⁣

Another great small town romance by Devney Perry. Jax and Sasha’s instant attraction, and the lead up to when they finally connect… so well done. Jax is sweet and so caring. He just wants to take care of Sasha. While she is a bit closed off, Sasha sees she is deserving of love and affection. If you’re a fan of accidental pregnancy, this is definitely a must read.

My love for this series knows no bounds.

I was so excited for Jax's book after finishing Crossroads and I can officially say I love him even more now than I did before. There's something about his easy going, carefree attitude that just endears him to me. You can't not love him. It's impossible. He had me laughing out loud so many times while I was reading. I'd even go as far as to say Jax is the entire reason why I enjoyed this one as much as I did.

Accidental pregnancy is actually one of my favorite tropes so I was beside myself when it was revealed that it would be the premise for Sunlight. On that end it definitely didn't disappoint. I felt like their initial reactions to the news was very realistic and believable. I appreciated how Perry allowed both main characters to process the situation however they needed to, messy moments and mistakes included. I love seeing the growth between that initial moment and the final chapter.

I will say I felt like the sex of their baby was easy to assume earlier than I would've liked, because I love the anticipation of finding out alongside the characters with no idea what the answer will be, but at the same time the reason I was able to guess/assume so quickly made sense for Sasha's story.

Admittedly she was the one I struggled with a bit. By the end I'd been won over to her side, but throughout the book I felt as if I liked her but I didn't love her as much as I wanted to. That said... I think part of this is because Devney Perry really stayed true to her character, her history, her insecurities, her beliefs. I can acknowledge that I don't think it would've made sense, given who Sasha is and what she's experienced, if she'd come around and stopped fighting that voice in her head sooner.

All in all this was a 4.5 star read for me. I really enjoyed it overall, couldn't put it down, and appreciated some of the deeper, heavier topics it explored beyond the romance plot. Jax broke my freaking heart more than once recalling his past and how the events have affected him. I cried for him, then cried again when some of those pieces began to shift more toward something hopeful. I also really enjoyed the mystery of Eddie throughout the book. It gave me a similar feeling to Indya's voicemails to her dad in book one. Aside from the obvious crossover and cameos of characters I felt like it really added a nice sense of continuity and familiarity across the series.

Thank you so much to the author and Valentine PR for gifting me an early copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I loved it and can't wait to see what comes next in this series!

Sunlight is a shining example of just why Devney Perry is my number one automatic 1-click author!
No one does small town romance better and this book has ALL my favorite tropes all wrapped up in one book that warmed every corner of my heart. We have small town, surprise pregnancy, cowboy and workplace romance! Jax and Sasha are dynamite together and Devney Perry wrote one of her most touching books to date.

Book 2 in the Haven River Ranch series is live! When the tropes for this book dropped you better believe I was jumping up and down. Accidental pregnancy? It’s ALWAYS gonna hit for me and that was no different here. From the very first moment Jax and Sasha met, you could feel the sparks and tension. I also can’t resist a little bit of forbidden thrown into books and with Sasha being an employee at the ranch, it added the perfect pinch of “stay away from her.” Which of course he didn’t 🙂‍↕️ Coming back to this world was everything I hoped it would be! I absolutely devoured this one.

The audiobook is narrated by Ava Erickson and Stephen Dexter and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. Definitely recommend checking it out!

I loved jax and sasha! their story was one that I wish I could read again for the first time! a small town, accidental pregnancy cowboy romance where he’s her boss and sprinkle in some forced proximity and workplace romance - tell me this isn’t just the perfect romance read!

jax is the ultimate book boyfriend! the way he was with sasha was pure perfection, he was so affectionate and there for her!

I loved that jax was there for sasha and their baby, the way he calls her my josephine before she was even born was something else entirely!

I loved that even though sasha tried to push jax away he didn’t let her and was there every step of the way! their relationship was a bit of a rollercoaster but they get their happy ever after

This book was fantastic as are all Devney Perry books! Sunlight is the second book in the Haven River Ranch series. This is a secret crush on your sort of boss that leads to a one night stand and an accidental pregnancy book. It follows the story of Jax and Sasha, he’s one of the owners of Haven River Ranch and she’s a ranch hand that’s trying to avoid life’s distractions. But watching them fall in love while navigating past traumas and growing together was chef’s kiss!

"Tell me a lie.." I hated this book (IYKYK)
Sunlight is the 2nd book in the Haven River Ranch series, and if you have not yet read it, I strongly encourage you to. I'm not sure if I'm biased because Crossroads was the book that made me fall in love with @devneyperry 's writing style, but I have to say that Sunlight was one of my favorite Devney reads!
"Tell me a secret..."
This book made my heart swell. The story starts off with the cutest meet cute of Jax and Sasha. I loved the element of unknown when it came to Sasha's personal history. It kept me guessing right up until the end. And the way that Jax falls so hard for her, and so wholly, it just made me feel so lucky to get to read such an endearing story. Jax and Sasha literally make the perfect couple! The character development of not only Jax and Sasha, but also that of Lily, added an additional element of joy for me. It was lovely to see Jax and Lily at the start of healing their relationship through the development of Jax's own little family.
"Tell me a lie..." the characters are horrible

Devney Perry has a way of writing her characters that make the reader feel as though these are real life people, friends, family.
I've not quite found anything like it in other books so consistently. Jax and Sasha are no different. They are brought to life so vividly that they remain with you long after you turn the last page.
I HIGHLY recommend reading Devney Perry's books if you're looking for some lovely, spicy romance with outstanding characters, plot twists, and just an all-around good read.
I gave • Sunlight • 5-stars and cannot wait to get back to Haven River Ranch one day! *****

I want to go and live in Montana on Haven River Ranch 😩 but maybe only in the summer, I’m not sure I could handle all the snow!

As always Devney tells a beautiful story, with great scene setting and lots of romance, I read it in one sitting. It’s fabulously written and I’m so happy that Jax got his HEA, Sasha is perfect for him, (though I still don’t think I’m ready to forgive Lily for the way she treated him as a child).

Really looking forward to Devney’s next book.

It was so nice to be back in Haven River Ranch again.

Sunlight is the story of Jax and Sasha. Both are trying to navigate their way through their own hardships. It is a story of heartbreak, forgiveness and love. Such a beautiful and emotional journey.

Jax is the fun loving playboy who rocks a cowboy hat. He isn’t know to take life too seriously and he is always down for a good time. Under the flirty exterior is a broken hearted boy, who was betrayed and longs to be loved.

Sasha is a force. Stepping up after her parent’s tragic death was never something she expected. At the time she was just a kid herself but nothing is more important to her than family. That is how she finds herself on Haven River Ranch.

Her meet cute with Jax at the supermarket sparks hope in her. Maybe something is going to go right for a change. Until his says his name. She CANNOT crush on her BOSS.

The chemistry between Jax and Sasha is obvious from the start. But once Sasha learns that Jax is her boss, she stuffs down her feelings and pretends to loathe his presence. Unfortunately for her Jax is persistent. Even though she ices him out Jax’s feelings never waver. He is so steadfast in his love for her it is able to withstand her efforts to push him away.

Now, with a little pink plus sign both are forced together which is exactly where they are meant to be. Sasha does not make it easy on him, but Jax never gives up.

My heart was so full after reading this. Jax loves Sasha so much that he wouldn’t give her up. And the banter between these two was top tier. Jax was perfect but as a daddy?? Absolutely nothing better. When he says “You’re carrying my Josephine…” I was DONE.

“tell me a lie” “I hate Montana”
“tell me a secret” “I love you”
^the moment my heart melted to a puddle.

Thank you Devney Perry, Valentine PR & NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this advanced copy.

Received this book as an ARC
Enjoyable story,accidental pregnancy trope. Love Ms.Perry’s writing style she always does a great job of creating an interesting story. Jax and Sasha are the cutest couple their pacing made sense. Enjoyed reading Sasha’s backstory and her journey to healing. Jax was the perfect gentle man of course,loved how he showed his love for her and defended her. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

This was utterly phenomenal. It's one of the ultimate accidental pregnancy books. Jax and Sasha completely own my heart and Haven River Ranch is a place I will always visit just to be with these character. Jax hasn't had it easy but he's found his place with West, his friends, and the horses. Montana has always been home. Sasha has faced some of the toughest situations and currently it feels like there is no one who is there for her and she's stuck in a place that doesn't feel anything like home. The connection and relationship that grows between these two is one that I hope I get to mirror or take elements from in the future. How Jax understands Sasha and meets her where she's at. How Sasha learns to let someone in again, maybe even start to trust a little more, is burned into my heart.

Devney's writing throughout this story is stunning. How she captures the fear, the unknown and unexpected excitement as well as all the challenges that these two face is just awe inspiring. When I finished this one - I really didn't know what to do next because I just wanted to bask in the perfection that is Sunlight. One of my favourite Devney Perry books ever.

Life can weigh us down, throwing obstacles that leave us scarred. But sometimes, escape comes in unexpected places, like a new job on a breathtaking ranch in Montana, where we meet a cowboy with a smirk that could stop time.

Devney Perry has a way of weaving romance with mystery that never fails to astonish me. Set against the stunning backdrop of Haven Ranch, Montana, the landscape itself feels almost too beautiful to be real. And yet, in my mind, it is. Devney masterfully delves into her characters’ hearts, revealing why they are who they are and what has shaped them along the way.

Then, of course, there’s the romance. This is an accidental pregnancy trope, one that often stirs mixed feelings, but in this case, it felt especially poignant. I loved how tenderly they navigated it, with Jax fiercely protective of Sasha, and Sasha resilient despite the hardships life had thrown her way.

If you’re looking for a small town romance with real depth, this is it.

Thank you, Devney, and Valentine PR for the chance to dive into this world with this ARC.

I enjoyed Sunlight so much!
Devney thrive with an accidental pregnancy romance!

I wish we had more of the Haven River Ranch series because I love it!

Don't walk, RUN back to Haven River Ranch - trust me, Jax will not disappoint!! A serial playboy meets the new girl in town while she's being accused of stealing a grocery cart 🤭 Little does Jax know, the one person who stirs up authentic feelings in him is about to be his employee.

This love story was so genuine!! The amount of support Jax shows Sasha was unbelievably refreshing. He took it slow, just like she needed, && demonstrated real actions, not just words. I love their love! Jax && Sasha forever ❤️

I was excited to dive into this and it didn't disappoint. We met Jax in his brother's book and his backstory was very appealing to me. Jax was the product of an affair his dad had many years before and I was curious to see how that impacted who he was and what would happen with his story. He first comes across Sasha and they have a bit of a meet cute before Sasha realizes, unbeknown to Jax, that he is her new employer and puts distance between them.

This story had so much going on with it, both in what we see on the surface and then all the complex, nuances of what is not obvious. Both Sasha and Jax portray themselves to the world in one way, but are really very different at heart. In addition they both have things from their past they are grappling with and I spent a huge chunk of the book turning pages waiting for the reveal to Sasha's mysterious past.

I loved the slow buildup of Jax and Sasha's relationship. They have time to really get to know each other and grow together and there were aspects of that I just loved. The ending was perfect and definitely left me with a huge smile on my face.

Devney really does not disappoint! Her books are too good.

I’m a sucker for a pregnancy book and this one was such a good read. Jax and Sasha was perfect 🥰the slow burn was so worth it at the end, both MCS deserved the HEA they got. The whole book was so wholesome, Devneys writing is really something else, and I will read EVERY book she releases!

Thank you for letting me read this ARC

Have you read Sunlight yet?? If not, you are missing out!

Sasha and Jax first meet at a grocery store, and they really hit it off... until she realizes that he is one of her bosses at her new job, ya that ain't happening.

They have some smoking chemistry, and the heat just keeps building and building until it boils over and they decide on jist one night...welp that one night resulted in a baby, so it definitely wont be stoping at the one night stand.

I absolutely loved their story. It had me captivated from beginning to end.

🌸💛Sunlight by @devneyperry💛🌸

Thank you so so much to @valentine_pr_ and Devney for the ARC of Sunlight, I think there is something so special about an author trusting you with their work and I cannot thank you enough 🫶🏻

Read if you like;
🌞 small town cowboy romance
🌞 one night stand
🌞 accidental pregnancy
🌞 workplace romance
🌞 forced proximity (ish)
🌞 instant attraction

Also read if you don’t like any of the above because this book will convert you💛

I absolute loved it, I had no doubt that I would but I loved it, I tried not to binge it but failed miserably and now I’m sad it’s over, a few little bits made me think maybe we’ll get a book 3 about a certain couple of characters and gosh I hope we do because I’m not ready to say goodbye to a Haven River Ranch!

Devney NEVER misses, her is writing so relatable, never cringey or far fetched, the spice is always just right and it just feels real AND she uses pet names people actually use, like babe and sweetheart, and I just LOVE that in a book!!!!!

I adore Jax, he’s a bit of broken boy thanks to his own mum and Lily, but I love that this book explored that relationship abit more, and Sasha’s protectiveness over how he was treated was perfect!

I liked how Devney wrote Sasha so real, her initial jealousy over Emery is exactly how I would have felt/reacted and I like that she didn’t shy away from that but then I also loved Sasha for how supportive she was of her later on, girls girl energy 🫶🏻

Together they were perfect, how their relationship progressed, it wasn’t rushed, they gave each other space and time to process the situation they were in and a smidge of miscommunication never hurt anyone 🤭💛

It’s goes to the top of my cowboy romance list alongside Crossroads, they’re both *chefs kiss* 5⭐️
