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.
