Very cute, very fun read. It made me want to read more about the other characters too so I’m excited to read the next one!

I had to sleep on it to think about a rating.
I loved pretty much everything about this book except for the easiest grammar mistake to avoid found in the book. (We're instead of we're and also it was supposed to be "was" anyways as the pronoun was "it".)
It is rare for me to find long haired book boyfriends (which is my favorite type of men IRL) so it is a plus for me. I kind of thought it was long ass hair? Like middle of the back long, not just shoulder height but alright.
I will definitely read more of Elsie Silver, thank you very much.

2.0

Mediocre writing and a lack of proofreading (e.g., "we're" vs. "were"). 

The plot is uneventful and boring, and the characters are just not very interesting.

Not sure why I decided to try a cowboy romance when I despise all forms of animal cruelty and exploitation, incl. rodeo.

Okay I’m obsessed with everything about this family, this town, and Miss Elsie Silver. Am I now going to go and buy every single thing she’s ever written even without having read the entirety of this series? Absolutely. 

This is one of the true definitions of a romantic comedy. Seriously you get a rugged bad boy cowboy and it’s all because he was shit talking MILK? I’m crying I’m still not over that. The ultimate small town, cowboy, cozy, close knit/found family story. I am going to absolutely devour the rest of this series. Call me a cowgirl cuz I’m ten seconds away from telling my boyfriend we’re gonna quit our lifestyle and go buy a ranch in Wyoming or Canada or maybe even just here in Oklahoma. 

This just oozed cozy family love and I am always a sucker for those types of family units and story worlds. Thank you Elsie and take my money.
