Looking for a spicy enemies to lovers, cowgirl romance? Then this is the book for you! I had a lot of fun reading this and experiencing a city boy x cowgirl romance! I highly recommend this book if you love an easy and relaxed romance read.

Jake , a successful New York chef has been left as the beneficiary of his fathers will. Only , he did not know his father , and could not begin to imagine what his father had left for him. There is a lot unanswered secrets about his family Jake has to look into. Jake’s mother always kept his dad a secret. He moves to the ranch he has inherited to learn he has brothers, a ranch to take care of , and a girl he’s falling for. There is some mystery , some romance , and some good country life feels. Loved this read and would recommend.

I really enjoyed this book. Liz is a related character. Has been hurt in the last so keeps her walls high to not chance getting hurt again. Jake wasn't an annoying "city boy". He came to the ranch his father left him in his will and hit the ground running to fit in and do what he could to help. Loved Liz and Jake spicy scenes. Peony was as sweet as pie. Loved the Canadian euphemisms, they were hilarious to me. A lot of them I have never heard. Great story, great ending!
Negatives: could just be a formatting issue and/or these have already been corrected but there were a lot of spacing issues. (No space after period or the word belong was "be long" or too was "to o".
I don't LOVE the cover. The cover is the first thing people see especially at a store. The animation seems a little juvenile in my opinion.

I would definitely read more from this author!
I will post my recommendation on Tiktok within the next 2 weeks.

This book brought the HEAT!! It was not only a spicy romance but it was also an incredibly interesting story!! I think Jake and Liz were so well fit and I love them

Interesting Canadian western saga. Fish out of water Jake gets summoned to the ranch of his recently departed estranged father and finds out he inherited the ranch. Family drama ensues when no one was aware of each other and the sons who lived on the ranch gets jilted. Also on the ranch is his stepsister, who’s not related by blood and also did not know about Jake. This book mostly focuses on the familial drama and twists and secrets that dad left for the family. This is open door, but less spicy than Elsie Silver and Lyla Sage. Good pick up if you don’t mind the stepsister angle and lots of drama.

Thank you, Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group | W by Wattpad Books, for providing this book for review consideration through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC! I really enjoyed the family dynamic in this - it was complex but it was clear how much they all cared for each other. I enjoyed watching the bond between the brothers develop. I also liked that it was the MMC (Jake) who was the “city guy” and that Liz (the FMC) was the kickass cowgirl!!

La muerte de Brett West, dueño del West Line Ranch, deja un vacío imposible de llenar y una familia marcada por la incertidumbre. Sus hijos Tanner y Brady han dedicado toda su vida a mantener la tierra y el ganado, convencidos de que serían ellos quienes continuarían con el legado. Liz, la hijastra de Brett, también ha crecido en ese mundo, trabajando hombro a hombro con ellos, aunque siempre con la sensación de ser casi parte de la familia.

Pero todo cambia el día de la lectura del testamento. El abogado revela un secreto oculto durante décadas: Brett tuvo otro hijo, Jake, fruto de una relación anterior. Jake no solo existe, sino que ha sido nombrado heredero absoluto del rancho. Un desconocido de Nueva York, chef de prestigio pero recién divorciado, de repente se convierte en el dueño legal de todo por lo que Tanner, Brady y Liz han luchado.

La llegada de Jake es como un huracán. Tanner no puede perdonar la traición de su padre, Brady intenta mediar entre la furia y la resignación, y Liz se debate entre la lealtad hacia su familia y la creciente atracción que siente por el recién llegado. Jake, por su parte, se enfrenta al peso de un legado que no pidió y al desafío de ganarse un lugar en un mundo que le resulta completamente ajeno.

En medio de disputas legales, tensiones familiares y el calor sofocante del verano en las praderas, surge una chispa inesperada entre Liz y Jake. Una chispa que podría unirlos… o convertirse en la causa definitiva de la ruptura entre los West.

Me cayó mal Brett; sentí que fue una traición hacia sus hijos el hecho de dejarle todo a Jake. Sí, sé que después la situación se arregla, pero en ese momento fue injusto. Tanner siempre fue quien trabajó hasta el cansancio para sacar adelante el rancho, y que al final no le dejara nada me pareció mal.


Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.
