Honestly, a bazillion stars. This is 100% my favourite Gold Rush Ranch book.. but sneaky Nadia and Griffin might be one of my favourite couples?! 🤭 don’t sleep on this series especially if you loved Chesnut Springs🫶

this series was perfect. i think it's better than chestnut springs. i'm my head their age gap was smaller bc 14 years is too big for me but i'm ignoring that

this book chewed me up and spit me back out and i loved every second of it

i miss them already i'm going to read the part in the third chestnut springs when they have cameos bc i will be able to appreciate it better

I loved it. An age-gape romance that truly makes the relationship feel genuine. Grif and Nadia are lifelong partners. ❤️
