I received an ARC from the publisher but will not be reviewing this title since it was pulled from publication until further notice. I’m saddened by the authors actions and controversy surrounding this title.

DNF. My understanding is that this author has lied about her Native heritage, so the book is being pulled from shelves and will no longer be published (at least at the moment). Therefore, I will not be reading this book, and I will give it a one-star rating so my NetGalley rating is not impacted by this debacle.

Thank you to NetGalley, Colby Wilkens, St. Martin's Press, and St. Martin's Griffin for the complimentary ARC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this review.

After learning the author was dishonest about having Native heritage, I will not be reviewing this book.

Will not be reviewing due to this title being pulled from publication - the star rating is solely for the purpose of not wanting to hurt my NetGalley ratio because of this. I also do not condone the recent actions of this author and encourage everyone to do their research on this situation.

I have made the decision not to provide a review on this book due to the situation going on with the author and due to the fact that it has been removed from publication. I am giving a one star review in order to not damage my review percentage.

I will not give feedback on this book at this time since it has been pulled from publication. If anything changes, I will be sure to come back and give a review

I will not be giving feedback on this book as it has been pulled from publication. Rating only so my feedback percentage doesn't go down.

I wanted to LOVE this. All in all a very sweet and adventurous story that had me on my toes for a majority of it lol.

In light of recent events and solidarity with the Indigenous voices, I will not be reading or reviewing this work at this time because of the harm caused by the author. I would like to thank the publisher for this opportunity.

I planned to give feedback, but I am disappointed in the recent news about the author. I do not want to mess up my feedback ratio, so I will be submitting my original star rating, which was 3.5 rounded up to 4.

As this book has been pulled from publication due to the author’s actions, I will not be reviewing.

Thanks to Macmillan/SMP for the opportunity to review the arc.

Due to the author's recent controversy I will not be reviewing this book. She has pulled it from publishing.

Shame she had to lie about being native… it was a decent book but obviously the book world is up in arms

Due to the author’s recent controversy, I will not be reviewing this book. I am very disappointed to read she appears to have lied about her identity.

This book was pulled from publication by the author, so I am filling out this review for completion's sake. The star rating is unrelated to any thoughts or feelings on the situation surrounding it, or its contents. For what it's worth, I enjoyed what I had read so far, which wasn't much, but I can't comment on any authenticity it may or may not have.

This book was very okay. Until I learned the truth about Colbys connection to the Cherokee tribe, McMillans lack of due diligence and Colbys haughty attitude when held accountable. The story was 3 stars, very flat, but mildly entertaining. The characters could have been more dimensional.

Due to the author’s recent controversy, I will not be reviewing this book. I am very disappointed to read she appears to have lied about her identity and hurt the author and romance community in this deceitful way.
