Rough Country by Kelly Fox

5.0

I’ll start by saying this has to be one of the top books I have read this year! (And I read a lot) 

A Single dad romance that’s written fantastically and just hit so so good, the intimacy was beyond what I expected. Passion was palpable and delicious.

The taunting between the two main characters added a layer of hilarity to the big emotions displayed in this story. I love a frenemies to lovers but more than that I love a big size difference. This is a fantastic grumpy sunshine story. 

I cried so many tears for Woody. 

I adore that this book did not shy away from expressing the emotion that comes with emotional trauma and the care another has to take to allow those emotions to come to light. The patience that Emery has, it’s beautiful to witness… to see men allowing themselves to break down theirs walls and vulnerable to one another was so emotional for me as the reader. 

Stevie a sassy 10 year old girl, confident in herself pulled from her very aware and articulate dad. I love that this little girl was straight talking and sensitive. This little girl is raised right, she was an adorable character to the story, allowing Woody to show his vulnerable side with a fear judgment. 

Grandma Dawn is so hilarious and amazing, supportive of her son and embracing all his decisions in life with enthusiasm. It’s beautiful to see how close she is with her granddaughter and I love the way she lovingly meddles in Emerys love life in only a way a mum can. She’s straight talking and can shoot the sh*t with the guys. I hope to see her in future books. 

I cannot wait for Rowdy’s story he’s just a sweetheart!
