This was SO MUCH FUN! I got this as a gifted blind date with a book, I had no expectations going in, and I'm really glad I didn't because I wouldn't have anticipated how much fun I had reading this! 
It had me staying up way too late because I just couldn't put it down! 
I fell in love with pretty much every character, I LOVED the playful banter and how the MC's vulnerabilities were revealed slowly. 

The spice was top notch, but definitely be warned - not one to read in public!!! (Like I did with Icebreaker on a plane...)

I could hardly put this book down, every free waking moment I had was spent reading this book for the last 3 days. Now I want my own cowboy 🥹

My guilty pleasure is cowboy romances...

I really enjoyed Elsie's writing and found it super fun and witty. Her ability to give her characters so much personality and heart is really endearing. Rhett has a big personality and its impossible to ignore him when he's on page. I actually enjoyed him as a character and found him really endearing. And come on, Summer is such a sweetie it's impossible not to like her. I found her really fun to read about and I loved seeing her and Willa's friendship from Summer's pov (I read Willa's book first). 

I fucking hated the third-act breakup/conflict though, just so annoying and frustrating to read. This is something that still annoy's me about Elsie's writing but I can look past it.

I can only dream of feeling the passion that radiates of the pages between Rhett and Summer. I usually get bored when a couple get together relatively early on but I really didn’t this time, I just wanted to know how it was going to end up for them. I’m so in love with their love.
