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!

Es war ganz nett zu lesen, hat mich jetzt aber nicht vom Hocker gehauen.
Ich konnte die Charaktere nicht ganz greifen und war nicht mega invested in die Liebesgeschichte. Es ging mir alles zu schnell, ich konnte die Chemie nicht wirklich spüren und alles in allem war es mir zu viel Spice im Verhältnis zu richtigen Gesprächen und Romantik.

OH und es hat mich wirklich kirre gemacht, WIE OFT die männliche Hauptperson als "wild, rau & gRoß" beschrieben wurde.

Mit dem Ranch-Setting hat das Buch einige Pluspunkte gesammelt,  mit dem Bullenreiten hingegen konnte ich mich überhaupt nicht anfreunden. Ich fand nichts daran sexy oder "wild", irgendwei einfach nur saudumm und gefährlich für den Protagonisten, der gefühlt nur wegen des Egos nicht aufhören wollte

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.

The story follows the lives of Summer (a city girl) & Rhett (a bull rider) and their evolving relationship was they're forced to work together. The plot was cliché, but that didn't take away from the heart warming story.

This type of book is definitely a comfort read, the shuttle of writing was informal and to the point, you're typical 'chick-lit' novel. 

My only gripe is the bull riding, whilst this is a valid sport, I personally felt uncomfortable with this as the torment this sport places on the animals - I feel that this was rather controversial, considering the feel good nature of the story.

I don't like the bull riding descriptions, as I consider it to be animal cruelty. The love story itself is cute though
I think the other 4 books in the series are better than this one
