 We have been teased about Rush’s story since the first book in the Treasure State Wildcat series and it did not disappoint. From the moment Rush and Faye met, their lives were intertwined. Helping her change a tire on the side of the road, and later one night of passion, led to a life of consequences. Faye is pregnant and keeping the baby, and Rush wants to be there for her. How can she trust him, when she has never been able to depend on anyone in her life? 

 

Trust Devney Perry to write an accidental pregnancy that I loved! Faye was sometimes her own worst enemy, but she comes from a life of being unwanted. She struggles to believe that anyone would ever choose her. This led to an interesting progression of Rush and Faye’s relationship. Rush was putting in tons of effort, and Faye was doing everything to test him and send him away. He was just there, waiting for her to approach him. I had so many emotions throughout this one as Faye and Rush learned to navigate this life they were thrust into. 

 

This book was a total slow burn. After the initial hook-up, we were teased with banter and pining to perfection. You could feel the chemistry between the two from the first chapter and knew sparks would fly when they got together. I found myself rooting for them and cheering them on. 

 

This was a great, heartfelt book. I loved this book, as I have all of the series. If you like a good golden retreiever/black cat romance with two people who are learning to love, this is the perfect book for you! Thank you to Valentine PR for a copy of this book. All opinions are 100% mine.
