A review by baldmarlin
Wild Trail by A.M. Arthur
4.0
*I got this book as an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting to read this book and be charmed. Cowboys are not typically my thing when it comes to romance novels, but boy howdy this one was.
The positives: I really enjoyed the chemistry between Wes and Mack. I also really enjoyed the fact that we got to see their relationship after the get-together. Too often we have stories that end when the couple gets together. I want to see more than just the fluttery feelings and the sex. I want to see them struggle and succeed in trying to push their two lives into one.
The negatives: Communication between the characters. I get that it's a major plot point for one platonic relationship, but between the lovers? I'd have loved to see them open up more and/or sooner. Especially after they got together. I also wish that Wes and his sister could have interacted more. I know it's not their story, but I feel like every other relationship was fleshed out but theirs. Wes barely had any interaction with Sophie after leaving the ranch, and I felt like it was glaring. They're so close, but he doesn't talk to her about the new relationship?
All in all, it was really cute romance and a really quick read. I may or may not have pulled out my kindle while I was at work.
