Saddle Up by A.M. Arthur

5.0

WOW. I think that this one is my favorite in the series! I just LOVED reading about Miles and Reyes falling in love with each other. This had a bit of a slow burn (I don't think they kissed until somewhere between the 50-55% mark of the book) and I just adored them! I loved how Reyes was just completely in love with him, and willing to settle as being just Miles' friend rather than not have him in his life. Little bit of an age gap (I think 10 years) but that's not a big deal for either of them.

Both Miles and Reyes have had a tough past, and neither one of them wants to talk about it. They work on building a relationship in the present, still knowing that the past needs to be discussed before things blow up. And things kinda do blow up. I loved that Miles just didn't forgive and forget what Reyes told him, that he thought about it logically before knowing that he still loved Reyes.

I also loved getting to see so much of Will and Mack and Avery and Colt in this, and I love the sense of family that is through this book now that Mack and Colt have been able to move past their shared history. This place is home for them all, and I love the world here at the Clean Slate Ranch. Definitely my favorite in the series, and I can't wait for more - I hope there's more! I'm kinda not sure who the next one would be about, but I'm hoping for a repeat visit with this group at the ranch.

I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
