AHHHH!! I LOVED CADE AND MARE SO MUCH!!!
This second-chance romance had me swooning! The undeniable connection between Cade and Mare was so easy to see. In the before timeline when things were just getting started and in the present timeline they both tried their best to deny their feelings. Seeing their story slowly come together and learning about their past was such a beautiful journey!
I loved seeing their growth and their learning how to fight for what they wanted. Their first falling out happened when they were both so young, so it was understandable why their communication skills weren't the best. Even so, I do wish there was a bit less of the miscommunication (or lack of it). It did make me happy to see how much they were able to grow in their time apart, and seeing how much they really meant to each other throughout the years.
Overall, such a great read that balanced all the emotions! I was so happy with how everything worked out in the end and I am so excited for book 2!

Wow! This book is hot and angsty af but will also have you swooning. I love a second chance romance and this one was *chef’s kiss* This book really delivers a couple who you immediately are rooting for because they so deeply love and care for each other but at the same time have realistic baggage and history to work through and move past. It’s so well balanced. I love Goldie and Cade! He’s grumpy and a sucker so in love- bonus points for the cowboy vibes. Goldie is very relatable, she is someone readers can easily connect to. I think the jumping between timelines and POVs really enhances the story, you get such a full picture of the couple. I absolutely recommend this book and need everyone to download it asap! I’m so excited to read book 2 later this year.
