Firstly, I have to say thank you to this author and publishing team for allowing me to review an Advanced Reader Copy! Maggie is one of my absolute favorite, do-no-wrong authors, so this was a dream for me.
This book was giving “Yellowstone meets The Notebook” and I was HERE for it!
As much as I have completely fallen in love with all of the Maggieverse couples, Cassandra and Christian were SOMETHING ELSE for me! I love Cassandra’s strong and willful personality and unapologetic wit; she’s definitely one of my all-time favorite romance heroines. She wasn’t going to change who she was or what she believed at her core, and she certainly wasn’t going to pretend to be anything else. Christian’s soft strength was written in such an amazing way, it’s like Maggie had a gruff cowboy consultant. 😂
I am obsessed with the Griffith Family; it is going to be PAINFUL waiting for the rest of the series at this point! Cass and Christian’s love is the type that people write poems about, and I cannot get enough. The whole story was written so well. Perfect pacing, hilarious banter, true-to-character storylines…the whole thing was just *chef’s (or more appropriately, cowboy’s) kiss.*
