Here With You
Serena McKinney always gets what she wants.
When Serena arrives in Thundersville to help plan her best friend Olivia’s wedding, she sets her sights on Bennett, the quiet, single dad working on Olivia’s farm. She needs a distraction from her real life, and he’s just the man to give it to her.
Bennett has always kept to himself, and isn’t quite sure how to handle Serena’s attention. Their relationship heats up quickly as Serena pushes him out of his comfort zone and into her bed.
But Serena is hiding something that could change everything.
When she admits to Bennett the real reason she’s hiding away in Thundersville, he has to act fast or lose the woman he loves forever. For him the answer is obvious, but he has to convince Serena to choose him and his life in a small town.
Can Serena make it out of Thundersville without falling for the hot cowboy and tearing her family apart? Or will she give up everything for love?

This year must be my cowboy romance year because yeehaw!!!! 🤠
—-
Here With You follows Serena, a spoilt party girl who flees to Thundersville to avoid an upcoming family obligation. There she reunites with Bennett, a quiet cowboy with a cute daughter who she had fiery chemistry with when they met the year prior. With 6 months before returning home, sparks fly again but what will happen before she has to return home for good?
I loved the chemistry between Serena and Bennet! They were a great opposites attract couple who brought out great things in each other. The dirty mouth that Bennet has with Serena 👀👀 Plus, the small family they built with Lily was 🥰🥰🥰🥰
This was such a page turner, I found myself breezing through the last half wanting to know how they managed through the upcoming return home!
This is book two in a series but they act as standalone romances so you don’t necessarily need to read the first one to understand what’s happening. I definitely will be going back to read the first one and will be impatiently awaiting the third instalment!!
Thank you to @sunnybabepr and @authordckile for providing me with this eARC in return for an honest review.

I went in kind of blindly on this book, because I didn’t read the first one the series. So, I wasn’t sure how that was going to work, but I still wanted to try. As, almost, always I blame tiktok for making me want to read it so much. Thankfully, it paid off very well and this was a very interesting and enjoyable story. And it didn’t feel like anything was missing from not reading the first story, even if I was a little curious sometimes.
The thing I like the most about this book was how the roles were reversed. The heroine was the one full of confidence and charm, while the cowboy hero was timid and not sure of himself. I loved both of them and their amazing chemistry. From the beginning, their scenes were great and entertaining. It was amazing to see him gain confidence with her throughout the story. And, of course, there was a cute kid to make everything even more sweet.
This was a new author to me and I really like D.C Kile writing. It was easy and entertaining. I devoured this book in just a couple of hours and was more than happy to get a fun story. This couple was cute and the support cast was also really great. There is a very big chance I will come back for more of her works in the future.

I had a blast reading this book, it was a page turner, and a quick, easy read. Upon reading the first few chapters I was instantly hooked with how their story will unfold and I found myself smiling with their antics. However, my only issue while reading this was the execution of the plot, it kind of threw me off. Since it was fast-paced, and insta-love, the development of the relationship between Serena and Bennett felt a little rushed that it felt lacking. Some of the scenes were also under developed and felt abrupt which kind of translates to the story and how their relationship moved forward, especially with the last 3-4 chapters :(( the problem was easily solved, and the dialogues felt out of place. I was looking forward to how these two will have a relationship but I didn’t see the development of it rather it was like in a snap of a finger they were together.
Nonetheless, I adored Bennett so much. this lovely softie big man has such a huge heart with so much love to give. He may be the shy one in the group but he can be loud when you get to know him. Also the freakiest hihihi. The way he blushes makes me so giddy cuz he’s definitely so down bad for her and I LOVE IT!!!
I also adore the friendship between all of them especially Serena and Olivia’s bond. Nothing beats gushing about someone to your best friend and just having no control with the details you provide. The energy and the support they have for each other is already that of a sisterhood and it makes me happy how their relationship is strong.
Serena was an interesting character and highly entertaining with a strong personality even though she annoyed me sometimes HAHAHAHA. I saw her as a spoiled brat who was out of touch, selfish, and someone who made flirting her personality but as I read on, she gradually found the things she loves and can be passionate about. The small town really humbled her down, and she eventually grew to love it which made me happy how she grew as a character.

This one was just as good as the first one! Same big city girl in a small town charm, and I ate it up. I think Bennett and Serena had a really great connection, and she was just what he needed to blossom a bit. Also the addition of the daughter to the dynamic helped I think, since it’s another layer to Bennett. The fact that Serena gracefully fit in was major brownie points. No one wants a wicked stepmom. Also with Serena latching onto Bennett, now Olivia (from the first book) has her bestie, and the small town is growing more wholesome. I love it! I can’t wait to read the next installment.

I received this book as an ARC.
Yet again fell in love with a cowboy romance. Such a cute story line and ohh baby the spice. Loved getting to see more of Landon and Olivia’s story as well as explore Serena and her Benny Boys story! Can’t wait for more on these 4 as well as seeing what happens with Cam and Lucy!

I honestly really enjoyed the narrative of this novel; it felt like a fresh take on a small town cowboy romance - what more could a woman want? 🤠
I loved that Bennett was a shy male protagonist, and did not conform to societal stereotypes of men. He was awkward at times, quite minimalistic and I adored that we saw a new take on a male romance character!
The storyline was divine from start to finish & I just kept wanting to find out more about their love story. There is a ‘twist’ in the book that REALLY shocked me. I don’t want to spoil anything but I just thought it was so unlike Bennett and it shook me.
Overall a super cute cowboy romance 😙

I'm in love with this book. Serena is a spoiled NYC girl who is thrust into a life altering decision made by her parents. In order to find a way out, she stays with her best friend Olivia and plans her wedding in a small town in Georgia. Enter Bennet, who is a shy single dad who honestly is the biggest green flag around. This story was such a treat, and I am hopelessly in love with Bennet and Serena. I had so much fun reading this story, and I highly recommend anyone to read 💕 Thank you to Sunny Babe PR and the author for an E-ARC of this book

⁀➷ “You’re a dream, Serena. My dream.”
Serena McKinney is a spoiled rich girl who has no goals and direction in life. Her parents decide it’s time for her to stop messing around, so they arranged for her to marry her father’s business partner, though she initially rejected the proposal, she knew she had no better choice. So she bargained a 6 months of freedom before she came back and married this man. She decides to spend those 6 months in Underwood farms to help her best friend plan her dream wedding. There she met Bennet Clayton, the shy but handsome cowboy with whom she cannot wait to jump into bed with...….
⁀➷ “It’s like I’m getting a little present every time you open up to me about anything. Every smile you give me is important. I like that.”
Bennet! He’s my current favorite cowboy daddy! I love him so much, he’s so painfully shy and doesn’t know how to talk to women, which I find so endearing. Serena ended up having to make the first move a couple of times, but my man learned eventually. Also, love that he was such a good dad to Lily and how determined he is to keep Serena in his life. It’s kinda refreshing to see a character like him, cause he’s not grumpy, just shy and awkward, his dynamic with Serena is so fun!
⁀➷ “I didn’t know I needed you until I had you. And now that I know, I can’t let you go. Not without a fight. So this is what I’m doing. Fighting for you. My wife.My love. My everything. You have my heart, my body, my soul.”
Just like Bennet, I can’t help but love Serena. I enjoy her character development in this book, she went from a spoiled and entitled rich girl, to someone who actually had a goal in life and was willing to give up her lavish lifestyle for Bennet. We see her struggles and fear of leaving her parent’s money and life in the city. She’s not trying to fool herself and thinks love can fix everything, and with the help of Olivia and Bennet, she is finally able to find a purpose in life. I love that she’s no delulu, and said she try to be at least top 10 Wifey instead of the best Wifey🤭
⁀➷ “I’m not going to pretend I’m not scared to give up my entire life, but you’re worth it, Bennett. I want to be your wife.”
I’m so glad I gave this book a chance, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and looking forward to reading the previous and next book. I Highly recommend this to fans of these tropes!

Serena is a woman who is used to getting what she wants and as she heads back to Thundersville to help plan her best friend Olivia’s wedding, she has her sights set on Bennett, a quiet single dad who works on Olivia’s farm. Bennett has always kept to himself and is not sure how to handle Serena’s attention. Their relationship heats up quickly as Serena pushes Bennett out of his comfort zone. Unfortunately, Serena is hiding something that could change everything; so when she finally admits what she’s been hiding, Bennett knows he must act fast or risk losing the woman he loves forever.
Okay, first of all, THIS cover is absolutely gorgeous 😍.
HERE WITH YOU is an opposites attract, single dad, small town romance. I was so happy to dive back into Underwood Farms after having read Olivia and Landon’s story a few months ago. I absolutely adored immersing myself into Serena and Bennett’s love story.
Serena is a woman who has had a privileged upbringing and is used to getting what she wants. She has never had a job and is used to living in luxury due to her family’s wealth. Serena’s character experiences a lot of growth while in Thundersvile, and I loved seeing her get into her element and witnessing her fall in love with small town life (and Bennett). Bennett is a soft-spoken man; he’s the quiet one in his friend group and his number one priority is his young daughter. He is a devoted father, as well as a kind, caring, and passionate man. While on the topic of Lily, Bennett’s daughter, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how much I adored her as a character - she’s so sweet.
HERE WITH YOU is told in dual POV which was lovely to see both Serena and Bennett’s inner thoughts and insecurities. I loved seeing Serena and Bennett’s attraction for each other develop into something more. Their chemistry is palpable with plenty of spicy scenes. Their romance is really sweet and well-written. I loved seeing how everything works out in the end for them.
The friendships in this book are great, I love how supportive they are of each other. Olivia and Serena’s friendship is really well written and I love that they are the type of friends that can tell each other anything.
I liked seeing Olivia and Landon within these pages - nice to catch up. I am intrigued for what is to come next for Underwood Farms in Cam & Lucy’s book!

3.5/5 ⭐️
This was a cute and wholesome story that highlighted the beauty of slowing down and finding comfort in love! I enjoyed getting to know Serena and Bennett (and Lily) and seeing the way they created a little family among themselves.
The story follows Serena, whose parents are upset with her for her party-like lifestyle in NYC. She visits her best friend, Olivia, in the small Georgia town of Thundersville to help plan her wedding. Here, we meet shy and quiet Bennett, who works at Underwood Farms. His life revolves around work and his daughter, Lily, up until he meets Serena. Next thing they know, Serena and Bennett are finding comfort and peace within each other. But Serena’s timeline is looming over them; she promised her parents she’d be back after Olivia’s wedding.
I liked the way Serena and Bennett’s relationship developed in such a natural way. We got to see their personalities: loud and bold Serena and shy and nervous Bennett. But as things progressed, we got a cute story on how they became each other’s person. I love how we got to see Serena become more comfortable around Lily and find her groove in Thundersville. The friendships between Serena, Nate, Olivia, Landon, and Cam were so sweet too!
I do wish we could have gotten a little more depth to both Serena and Bennett, as I felt there was a lot to their story that I just didn’t get to learn about. Nevertheless, this was a cute and engaging story that I finished in one sitting! A page-turner for sure!
I didn’t read the first book, Out of Place, but that didn’t hinder my ability to enjoy Here With You! I definitely want to learn more about Landon and Olivia’s story though!
Overall, this was a quick and cute story that had me hooked! And as someone who’s been loving the small-town cowboy vibes, this definitely hit the spot.

I am officially obsessed with this series. I love 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗯𝘆 𝗗.𝗖. 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗲 just as much (maybe even a little more) as I do 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗢𝗳 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲. Serena flees NYC and her family and goes to Georgia to help her best friend, Olivia, plan her wedding. When visiting her the year before, she met and made out with Bennett, who works on Olivia’s farm and is best friends with her fiancée. So when Serena runs into him once again, they pick up where they left off, knowing there is an expiration date on their relationship, because she has family obligations in NY.
I thought Olivia’s parents were bad in book one, but Serena’s parents are disgusting. They plan to force her to marry someone for their own financial wellbeing. But then she falls for the shy, quiet, sweet cowboy, and his daughter, and doesn’t want to leave. Their whole dynamic was adorable and I ate it right up. I always love a small town with nosy neighbors, and I love that Thundersville was often compared to something out of a Hallmark movie. The author’s writing made it easy to imagine it all.

Then you will love this one! It is short and sweet, and the MCs are both amazing. It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the first in the series, too! Both are available on Kindle Unlimited. Thanks to the author and Sunny Babe PR for the eARC! I cannot wait for the third book 🥰

Then you will love this one! It is short and sweet, and the MCs are both amazing. It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the first in the series, too! Both are available on Kindle Unlimited. Thanks to the author and Sunny Babe PR for the eARC! I cannot wait for the third book 🥰

If you love a small town, cowboy romance with found family, this is your book!
💜MMC: Bennett Clayton. Cowboy, single dad, best girl dad to Lily, not great with ballerina buns/make up/manis, but a shy hero with the biggest heart.
💜FMC: Serena McKinney. Rich city girl, straightforward, confident and a hurricane mixed with sunshine.
This was a sweet but fun read about a cowboy, named Bennett and a rich city girl, named Serena. Serena goes to stay with her best friend to help her plan her wedding. She runs into Bennett after a year of not seeing him. With pressure from Serena’s parents about getting her life together, without realizing it Serena finds herself rethinking what she wants, and it’s all the things she didn’t think she needed, all thanks to Benny boy.
Serena and Bennett are complete opposites which makes their relationship so much fun to read. Her straightforwardness was so funny, but makes Bennett nervous.. till it doesn’t. I loved how Bennett humbles Serena without changing her, but embracing her bluntness and drive for all things fashion and party planning. Serena embraces Bennett’s shy/nervousness, (loves it actually) but it seems to give Bennett the confidence he needed. The relationship with Bennett and his daughter was so sweet, but adding Serena to the mix? Pulled at my heart. Overall, I loved this story and the found family vibes, this trio won my heart.

Ahhh Benny boy ! I absolutely loved him. The sweet quiet single dad cowboy, but get him behind closed doors and he opens up to you. 🫠
Serena took some time for me to enjoy. The beginning I was annoyed with her way of thinking. 😅 but eventually I came to love her character and enjoyed watching her character growth throughout the story.
You know how they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Yea well what if it doesn't have to. What if something happens, barely can remember it, but what if it works out for the best in the end.
Benny and Serena find out, during the Bachelorette party for Olivia's wedding. And I couldn't get enough of them. Bennett and Serena were just so balanced, even so opposite of one another.
Of course we also have Lily, Bennett daughter and I loved her so much. Such a sweet kiddo.
The ending was beautiful and sweet.
Fully enjoyed this.

This is book 2 of the Underwood Farms series, but it can be read as a standalone.
The perfect story of a quiet, single dad cowboy falling for the outspoken life of the party girl.
After being cut off from her parents and the news of being forced to marry a man she's never met, Serena leaves New York for 6 months and arrives in Thundersville to help plan her best friends wedding.
While there, single dad cowboy, Bennett catches her eye, and the two soon find themselves falling for one another. I really loved reading their story and the way Bennett was so comfortable with Serena and the way Serena grew as a person and realised her worth.
It was such a cute small town romance, and I recommend adding it to your tbr list!
Thanks to @sunnybabepr for sending me a copy of this book!

Loveeee!!!
I can’t wait to keep reading more of this series because omgggg. The spice was spicey and the characters are so well developed. I love a good close friend group.
Serena really found herself in the book and I absolutely ate it up. I loved seeing “Benny” come out of his shell. Thats the only time you’ll see me using his nick name because I cannot stand it🤣 but anywayssss they are the definition of opposites attract. Lily was too cute her own good.

✨Single Dad
✨Opposites Attract
✨Rich girl meets small town
✨Accidental marriage
Review: This is the second book in the Underwood Farms series but can be read as a stand alone. I would recommend reading book 1 bc 1) it’s amazing & 2) bc Olivia is a major character in this book & it would help you appreciate her growth & the life she came from. It would be hard to appreciate the change Olivia & Serena make without reading book 1 imo.
I really enjoyed this story. It flowed well, easy to read, & made me want to keep reading. I loved watching Benny & Serena fall in love with each other. I loved Benny’s relationship with his daughter & then watching Serena also fall in love with her. It was so special. Serena’s character development is amazing & learning to love other people not just herself. It was the perfect small town romance. I would highly recommend this series!

I ate this book up in two maybe three long settings. I loved the Underwood’s Farm and I can’t wait to continue reading the series. I didn’t read the first one but I don’t feel like you need to. I feel like it was a stand alone. But I definitely want to know what happened in Olivia and Landon’s love story. And I can’t wait for Lucy and Cam’s.

Here With You was such a good read! Serena is the wild party girl that leaves New York City to visit her best friend in small town Thundersville where she meets the shy cowboy / single dad Bennett. Don’t let the shy part fool you…Bennett has quite the way with words when it comes to “extracurricular activities” 😉 I loved the dynamic between these two and how they balanced each other. It was the perfect feel good story and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series! Thanks so much to Sunny Babe PR & D.C Kile for sending me this ARC to review ❤️

★★★★/5
This is book two in the underwood farm series
I absolutely ate this book up, so much so I read it in one sitting! This story follows Serena leaving her home town in New York to head to Georgia for 6 months in order to help her best friend plan her wedding but that’s not the only reason why she’s leaving…
Bennett the Mmc is so lovable and sweet it’s lovely to see a male character who’s shy, anxious and reserved for a change Serena is the polar opposite she’s outspoken, the life of the party, not afraid of anything, and they both fit beautifully together. Bennett’s interactions with his daughter Lilly are absolutely adorable and I’m just like Serena who also loves that. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a small town romance, since dad trope and spice!

This was my second ever ARC read for @sunnybabepr and I really enjoyed it! This book shows bratty, rich girl Serena moving to live with her best friend on a farm in a small town after an ultimatum from her parents. She only plans to be there for six months to plan her friend's wedding, but when she meets Bennett, a cowboy, a father, and a great friend, her plans go awry - Let's just say she may end up staying for more than 6 months! This book was a really easy read, I finished it in a few hours. Serena starts as somewhat unlikeable and she is very spoilt, but you quickly see more to her character and her love for her friend and as she realises what she really wants from life and goes for her dreams, it's easy to see her previous shortcomings were handed down from her parents and that there is more to Serena than first meets the eye. This book had lots of great tropes - cowboys, single dad, grumpy x sunshine - and some spice! Overall, a very cute little romance book! 4/5🌟

4⭐️/ 2-3🌶️
I love small town romances, but add in a Cowboy into the mix, and Yippee take me away cowboy! This story was set within the small town of, Thundersville where our two main characters, Serena and Bennett were. Serena was the big city rich girl coming to visit Thundersville to help her best friend, Olivia plan her wedding. Bennett worked on Olivia’s farm and was best friend’s with Olivia’s fiancé, Landon. Serena and Bennett came from two different worlds, one where Serena was use to the hustle and bustle of city life, whereas Bennett was use to the calm and ease of working on a farm, and raising his daughter. With tropes ranging from, single dad, rich girl/shy guy, found family, small town, and more this was a good romance to read.
Something about the shy/quiet guy trope just hits the spot for me. As much as I love when a man gets all alpha and protective, there are times when seeing a big, strong man get all flustered and shy that makes me adored them even more! Bennett was that type of man! Bennett wasn’t use to dating since his life revolved around working and focusing on his adorable daughter, Lily. When it did come to Bennett finding a woman he liked, ahem, a certain Ms. Serena was obvious in her attraction towards him. Slowly, but surely Bennett found himself coming out of his shell, and wanting more and more of Serena. Especially when it came to the bit of spice in this book, my goodness gracious, our precious, quiet Bennett had a mouth on him, and oh boy did he make ME BLUSH!
I feel like this entire review is solely going to be about Bennett, and I’m not sorry about it! Serena was good and all, but the star of this story for me was BENNETT! Bennett was a quiet man who really wasn’t outgoing compared to his friends, but being around Serena he had more fun and just generally went out of his normal routine. Another thing I really enjoyed about Bennett was that despite being a quiet man, he was very vocal in his desires with Serena! If you love the quiet man trope who’s secretly a dirty talker then Bennett is the man for the job! Plus, Bennett was a hard working single dad cowboy! Come on, you can’t tell me that isn’t attractive!!!! (Sigh) and the way Bennett wholeheartedly treated Serena like a queen, I was like, “THIS IS THE ENERGY IM TALKING ABOUT!”
You can’t wrong with reading this book. When there’s a handsome, cowboy who’s quiet and shy, but Lowkey a “freak in the sheets” (*Serena’s world not mine haha), and a devoted single dad, you’re obviously going to like the fictional man! Bennett was great and I really enjoyed reading about him. Serena was good, but I wasn’t obsessed with her as I was with Bennett. Serena was the wild child who was use to living the glamorous life in New York, but being in Thundersville opened her eyes to a new world where she fell in love with Bennett and the small town life. This was a fairly fast, but not rushed story that I was able to enjoy, and finish reading within a day. I got a little bit of some of my favorite tropes, and I liked the story overall. If you’re a fan of cowboy romances, and want something quick, I think you’ll enjoy this story.

Looking for a sweet and simple small town cow boy romance. Then you can definitely pick this as your next read!
Here With You by D.C Kile is the second book in her Underwood Farms Series.
The story is set in a small town of Thundersville where the love story of Bennett and Serena blooms.
Serena McKinney is the rich city girl who loves to party, who's extrovert,bold and doesn't want to settle anytime soon. Which is why she has never been interested in taking her one night relationships further ahead.But now, her parents wants her to get married and as she is not ready for that,Serena squeezes out 6 months of time for herself by going to Thundersville,as her best friend Olivia is getting married. There she meets Bennett or should I say BENNY BOY(yes she gives him a nickname 😌). She flirts with him and want to spend some good time while she's in the town, but she can't also deny the longing in her heart which urges her to stay with Bennett. But can Serena leave her life in New York behind and start afresh? Will she be able to find a purpose in Thundersville that will reasonate against the odds and let love bloom freely?
Bennett Clayton is a single dad who has an adorable daughter,Lily. He has always been reserved,very shy and likes to stay away from outings. All his life, Bennett has thought that he is boring and doesn't deserves love in his life. But it all changes,when Serena comes into the picture. And might I tell you,Benny Boy is really a freak in the sheets.🤭🔥
Bennett is instantly attracted to her in a way he hasn't ever felt towards any other girl. At the same time he also knows that she's way out of his league and why would a girl like Serena want to leave everything behind to be with him.Bennett knows that she's in Thundersville only for a while and he won't be the same when Serena leaves. But it doesn't stop him from giving it a chance and spending as much as time possible with Serene. Will Bennett be able to convince her to stay in Thundersville or will he be left with a broken heart?
I loved the story so much. It was interesting to see the dynamics of their relationship and how the side characters were supportive too.What started as a temporary affection between them develops into something that leads to their happily ever after. This book doesn't have any miscommunication, breakup and all but it is filled with sweet, romantic,giddy moments that definitely puts a smile on your face.
