• The more I read, the less I believed that Rhett was a man in his 30s. 
• The "spicy" chapters also read like average fanfiction, and it felt a little awkward at times.
• Also some very heavy themes dealt with in under 400 pages.
• Easy to read, with none of the faffing about. Just two characters developing and exploring their feelings towards one another, and also exploring their own individual futures.
• Read a bit like a movie towards the end there with the resolution bit but I'm not complaining.

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 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.

Loved everything about this book! My only complaint is the miscommunication and the way Rhett acted after getting hurt and was at the hospital, there was no need for that

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.
