All I See Is You: A Broken Creek Ranch Novel

by Shelby Storme

Eight seconds.

When you ride bulls for a living, those eight seconds can alter the course of your life forever. After a career-ending accident, Huxson Lane is left blind and bitter, working as a ranch hand on a newly sold guest ranch while he tries to forget his past. But no matter where he goes he’s constantly reminded of the famous bull rider he once was… Until he meets his boss’s daughter, Quinn Decker, who, thankfully, knows nothing about him.

Quinn is young, bright-eyed, and excited to start her event planning job for a prestigious company in California. She’s got the degree, the determination, and the drive to be successful. But first, she has to plan her dad’s wedding—in Texas of all places. Only it becomes so much more than that. Little does she know, Daddy Dearest has a business opportunity that could make or break her job back home. Not to mention, the searing connection she has with the handsome, blind cowboy who calls to her soul.

But despite their growing feelings, Hux is stubborn, prideful, and haunted by a past that Quinn will never fully understand. Can Quinn help him find relief and happiness? Is the bond they share strong enough to withstand time, or will it all end up being nothing more than a hot summer fling?

Cowboys 😍

Shelby Storme has quickly become an auto-buy author for me!

All I See is You is the third book of Shelby's that I’ve read, and I can confidently say it won’t be my last (no pressure, Shelby 😉).

This small-town, cowboy romance with a blind protagonist is a true gem. With its fast pace and heartfelt moments, it's one you won’t want to miss.

Hux, our MMC—a two-time world champion bull rider—loses his eyesight in a terrible accident. Eight seconds is all it takes. One day, he hears a girl singing in the market and feels an immediate connection. But there's a catch—he has no idea what she looks like, or how to find her again.

Quinn, our FMC—an event planner from California—comes to Texas to help plan her father’s wedding. While grocery shopping, she spots the most drop-dead gorgeous cowboy standing in the aisle. But she’s mortified—did he hear her singing? (Girl, you don’t sing that bad!) She quickly shuffles away, trying to hide from embarrassment.

Little does she know, her father just bought one of the most beautiful ranches in town—and her mystery man from the market? She’s about to meet him again.

Intrigued yet?

I won’t spoil too much, but know this: Quinn and Hux slowly come out of their shells and grow together. There’s one particular oh my gosh moment that will have you on the edge of your seat, but don’t worry—Shelby handles the suspense perfectly, without dragging it out too long.

One of my favorite parts? The Mercenary Ranch Boys make an appearance—swoon! I was kicking and swooning so much, my husband thought I’d lost my mind 😂.

As always, the ending is pure perfection, leaving just enough questions (especially about Mr. Cash—he’s my absolute favorite!) to keep you wanting more.

If you love small-town, cowboy romances with a dash of spice, All I See is You ticks all the boxes.

This is my first Shelby Storme book and I will be back for more. I am absolutely obsessed with Quinn and Hux. Like, full stop, obsessed and want them to experience every ounce of happiness they deserve.

Hux is an absolute grump of a grump. This former bull rider suffered a life altering injury and is now working as a cowboy on a Texas ranch. When he first hears Quinn (specifically her singing in the next aisle over) he felt drawn to her immediately. When she walks away and he is unable to follow after her, he is convinced he would never find her again. That is, until he finds out that the woman he is looking for is the daughter of the ranch's new owner, Quinn.

Quinn is such a fantastic contrast to Hux. She is warm, bright and brings such sunlight into his life. She becomes enamored with Hux and after the first awkward meeting, finds herself wanting to be with him every chance she can get. Her determination to support him and love him for who Hux was is my favorite part of this book. Because of Quinn, Hux fights back his demons and I loved every moment of their time together.

There are so many teasers in the last chapter that Shelby left us with, and I cannot wait to learn more about the next stories coming from Broken Creek Ranch.

H is a ex-bull rider and is blind from an accident. h is a event planner city girl in town to plan her father's wedding. They meet and sparks fly. Both now have to navigate how to be with the other person while dealing with their own issues.

I loved how she was fun and relatable and stood upto to everyone who was an ass to him. H was grumpy yet sweet. It's all insta lust/ love on this one, i mean, they were engaged even before the epilogue

why 3 and not 5 ? he went from hot to cold a few times and lashed out to h unnecessarily which sucked, i get that it was insecurities showing up but it sucked nonetheless. And i felt the book was way too long for my liking, i thought the book ended at 50 ish percent only to realise that i had more than half book to go and i ended up rushing a lil to finish.

safety- both non virgins, he hasn't been with anyone in 2 years and said to have enjoyed his single life earlier and that was open to interpretation, i don't think he was a hoe. She was inexperienced and has been only with one other person and that was her ex and thinks she sucks at it. A 2/5 on spice

this is a heartwarming and captivating cowboy romance with age gap and grumpy x sunshine 😍. In the story you will meet Quinn who is a city girl and did not expect to fall in love with a bull rider. Then we have Hux, he is the hot bullrider who is vulnerable with Quinn and will have you swooning. 🥹💞 The story had amazing flow even with some heavy topics. I also loved how the main characters were able to communicate through one of the disagreements they had! Definitely recommend you add this book to your tbr and I cannot wait to read more of the rest of the characters! 🥰

Hux and Quinn!!! 🥰🥰

The story is amazing, the struggle that Hux has with knowing that he lost a part of himself and having to overcome and find a new normal after that is so well told. Quinn, her ability she has just to open herself up and go with the flow and make people feel so comfortable even as she deals with some of her own insecurities about this connection she has with Hux, is such an amazing quality in this character.

You can feel chemistry between them. I love how well they match for being opposites and the age difference. The grocery store scene when they first “meet” will always be my top number one scene. Because there was something so beautiful about it. The way they work through each of their personal issues and it just motivates them to work together more. Melted my heart!❤️

Oh my!! The “Darlin’s” and her calling him “Cowboy”
The scene where Hux introduces Quinn to a familiar face (Bad Mooney) that we know if you have read The Mercenary Ranch series was another of my favorite moments.

I love the introduction to the characters we will hopefully see in future books (Ollie, and I seriously hope we get more Whit, I just loved her best friend energy) and the ode to Cash and the rest of Mercenary Ranch crew was such a great addition! I adore those characters.

You have to read this story and be as obsessed as I am!

For a bull rider, eight seconds can be life changing. After a horrible accident, Huxson Lane is left blind and bitter about the career he once loved. After his recovery, he works as a ranch hand and tries to forget his past and all that could have been. A chance encounter with the boss's daughter, Quinn Decker, quickly changes his outlook on life. Quinn is a young and promising event planner, who is eager to begin her career in California, but agrees to help her dad plan his wedding in Texas. Little does she know, her dad has been planning to offer her a job on ranch, which might give her a reason to stay. That...and the searing attraction to the broody, handsome cowboy with whom she forms an immediate connection. Hux is stubborn, prideful, and haunted by his past, but Quinn might just be the woman to help him turn it all around. Though they fall fast, will this newfound romance last or end up being just another loss for Hux and Quinn?

This is the first book in the Broken Creek Ranch series, and follows the whirlwind romance of Hux and Quinn. Hux is living a shell of his former life due to a life-changing accident. He has withdrawn from public life because it is entirely too painful to be reminded of what once was. But he is instantly drawn to Quinn, without knowing who she is, until he later realizes that she is his boss's daughter visiting from out of town. Quinn is young, determined, and just feels everything so deeply. Despite her own painful loss in life, she is willing to make the most of being on her dad's ranch. I enjoyed Hux and Quinn's relationship with how fast their attraction sparked and how their feelings for one another would be tested almost right away. Quinn never hesitates to stand up for Hux, and Hux helps calm and soothe her in a supportive way. Hux makes it difficult to love him with some of his actions, but Quinn is steadfast in her support of him and in helping him realize his own worth. I loved how Hux's family and friends became an additional support for Quinn because she was deserving of the kind of love the Lane family shows. The spice is well done, and there is no doubt that the attraction between Hux and Quinn is hot. This is balanced well with the overall plot, and examined a range of emotions. There is grief, sadness, anger, and joy all vividly expressed as the characters endure challenges both alone and together. This was a great start to the series, and definitely was satisfying especially for fans of cowboy/rodeo romances.

"Quinn Decker stirred the ashes of my withered soul, sparking something in me that made me feel like the old me might just still be in there amongst the rubble and wreckage.
She was like a missing piece I hadn’t known I’d lost. Hadn’t even realized I’d needed until this moment. But now that I had her, I wouldn’t give her up to save my damn life."

Shelby Storme is a new-to-me author, and I was lucky to get an ARC of her latest book, All I See Is You. It follows the story of Quinn and Hux.

Quinn and Hux were perfect together!

I adored Quinn! She was compassionate, understanding, and caring. She never overstepped and respected Hux's boundaries and allowed him to open up in his own time. She was Hux's perfect match in every way. I loved seeing how she never treated Hux differently or made him feel unlovable because of his visual impairment and traumatic brain injury. The way she supported his decisions and stood up for him melted my heart. Everyone deserves to have a champion like Quinn in their lives.

Hux took me by surprise! I was not expecting him to be like that, but I am not complaining because once you get to know the man behind all the layers he has a heart of gold. I cannot imagine what that must have been like for him to go through such a life-changing accident and then to have to adjust to a new normal. His journey to recover and experience after the accident was heartbreaking and hard to read at times. I'm so glad he found Quinn who helped to breathe life back into him.

I loved seeing the growth of both Quinn and Hux throughout the book.

I was not expecting my emotions to be put through the wringer while reading All I See Is You.

Shelby did an excellent job with the disability representation and addressing the realistic struggles someone may experience while coping with a visual impairment and traumatic brain injury.

I loved everything about Quinn and Hux's story and thought it was well-written.

I will be reading Shelby's backlist and cannot wait to see what she comes out with next!

Thank you so much to Shelby Storme for this ARC 💙

[Caitlin Loggins · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was SO GOOD!! I loved every page of it from the first to the last and I didn't want it to end! I absolutely LOVED Hux and Quinn as a couple! They are perfect for each other and I loved the nicknames that they have for each other, especially Quinn's nickname for Hux. 🥰

All I See Is You is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy romance with plenty of emotional moments throughout the story. In particular, you might need to have the Kleenex close by for one scene in chapter 32.

One of my favorite scenes from All I See You was when Quinn and Hux danced together at the bar and also their date in chapter 37, that scene was so sweet! 🩷

Another thing I loved was also in chapter 37 when Hux asks her what her "thing" is and she talks about what kind of books she enjoys reading. My favorite character from All I See Is You besides Hux, was Cash Mooney, he is hilarious and I can't wait to get to read his story!

I also loved the way that Hux and Quinn met for the very first time, it was a really unique first meeting and I loved it. 🙂

I have so many highlighted/bookmarked pages in my copy on my Kindle app but these are a few of my favorite lines/quotes from All I See Is You;

"Embers of desire sizzled in my veins. I don’t think I'd ever tire of looking at him. “Hey, cowboy,” I managed to breathe out, cursing myself internally for how easily he affected me even two months later."

"God, a few simple touches and I couldn’t even talk straight. His touch really was magic, and I was helpless to it."

"A grin tugged on his mouth and he aimed his stare my way. God, he looked good in sunglasses. In anything really."

"It was probably stupid, but I’d been falling for him basically since the moment I met him."

"Whit was right. There was something about a cowboy hat and boots that just transformed a man into the ultimate version of sexy."

All I See Is You is definitely one of my favorite cowboy romances that I have read and it deserves more than five stars! I can't wait to read more of the Broken Creek Ranch Series! ❤️

This is a dual POV, summer love, cowboy romance with found family and overcoming trauma/loss as connecting themes.
This was a really sweet story! I appreciated the disability representation in the MMC, Hux, who loses his sight from a bull riding accident. I also liked that Shelby titled each chapter with a country song!
I personally had issues with the short timeframe being compelling, but it was still a nice book. I think I wanted the writing style to be a little stronger.

My EPICS rating system:

Enjoyment: 7/10; although I enjoyed this book, I think some elements were a little weak for me. It took me a while to develop any emotional connection with the MCs and I wished I could've gotten there earlier and then deeper as the story progressed.

Plot: 6/10; I had issues with the instalove and quick timeframe, but I did enjoy Hux & Quinn's grand collaboration at the end. It felt like a nice full-circle moment.

Investment: 7/10; a solid investment of my time.

Characters: 8/10; Hux is a great cowboy book bf. Initially he's grumpy and withdrawn, but we see him really come to life when Quinn connects with him. Quinn was a little annoying at the beginning with her insecurities being so prevalent - but Hux really complimented her. She gained confidence and security in herself and in her decision-making. I thought Hux & Quinn made a great couple!

Spice: 6/10; I'm not a fan of instalove and early spice, but the actual spice content was good. We got some nice praise throughout :)

Overall score: 6.8/10
Star conversion: ☆☆☆

I don’t even know where to start with this review. No words I string together will be able to do this masterpiece justice. But fuck I’m gonna try😅

Shelby writes in a way where I actually never have any idea what is coming next. It isn’t predictable. I’m always on my toes and excited to see what comes next. Her writing is also beyond addicting😮‍💨

Eight seconds. Eight fucking seconds can break me and then put me back together again. The significance of eight seconds. And the full circle moment with the damn eight seconds was everything to me.

Huxson Lane.. the man that you are. I simply adore you. The strength and resilience of this man. I’ve never been more proud of someone who doesn’t exist😂🫶🏻 And Quinnie girl, there is no one quite like you. You posses a patience and love like no other. The way you fiercely stand up for and protect Hux❣️😭

Hux and Quinn’s meet cute was so fun and goofy and cute. Watching Quinn help heal Hux and give him closure. Their love story was so real and authentic, it’s going to stick with me for a while. They’re both very mature people who communicate so you won’t be stuck wondering why adults are acting like children.

This book also has absolutely amazing side characters. They’re so fun, wholesome, and supportive. One big family. I can’t wait to spend more time with the Broken Ranch family and get more characters stories.

This book will have your heart breaking and healing. And I beg all of you to go on this wild ride with Huxson and Quinn🫶🏻❣️and the fucking epilogue y’all😭❣️

5/5⭐️

There is just something about country boy that makes me devour books! The amount I love Hux and Quinn is huge!! Hux is such a grump bull rider turned grump cowboy 🤣 But damn I was eating it up! The way Quinn called him a friend at first and he turned around and asked her out. I LOVED THAT! Quinn is the type of FMC that is just so sweet and such an opposite of Hux. The support Quinn gave Hux made my heart truly so warm! Everyone has demons and Hux just needed someone to bring some light in and that’s exactly what Quinn brought him. They were truly the cutest book couple and I can’t wait for more from this series!
This was a fast paced read and i definitely recommend!

Hux is a grumpy blind bull rider who is working as a ranch hand in Texas, dealing with the hand he was dealt. Quinn is an event planner from California, visiting Texas to plan her father's wedding to a much younger woman. When they meet, it's fate!

I was sucked in from the first page. I felt like I was there on the bull with Hux. He's probably my favorite character because on his pages I could feel his emotions like I was living them with him. The way he conquered his fears, his trauma, all of it is just amazing and I loved it!

I loved Quinn, don't get me wrong, I just had a harder time attaching to her. I love her for Hux though. She jumped right in and flawlessly fit into his life, helping him in ways he didn't know he wanted or needed.

When he brings her home to momma... Swoon. There's also not a third act breakup scene which I loved. It's so refreshing when the main characters work out their problems!

And yes, we hate Georgette. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Join the club.

Tropes:
🐂 Bull Rider x City Girl
✨ Grumpy x Sunshine
🐂 Age Gap (10 years)
✨ Disability Rep (Blind)
🐂 Medium/Fast Burn
✨ He calls her Darlin'
🐂 Rodeo
✨ He takes her dancing

I hope you loved this book as much as I did! ❤️

All I See Is You by Shelby Storme

My first cowboy romance book and I loved it!🩷

This is a small town cowboy romance. The FMC is called Quinn, she is an event planner from California who travels to Texas to help plan her dad’s wedding. The MMC who’s called Hux is a two time world champion bull rider who has lost his sight in a terrible accident. This story follows these two as they get to know each other, and is so heartwarming and captivating.

I love how Quinn’s character is such a contrast to Hux’s, she is warm and bright and Hux is moody and dark. He is living a shell of his former life due to his accident and has withdrawn from public life, until he meets Quinn. I loved seeing this relationship develop and kept wanting to read more. The story had some great witty dialogue and playful banter but also moments of raw emotion and vulnerability, a real emotional rollercoaster!

The author incorporated heavier subject matter into the plot without disrupting the flow of the story. This for me made the romance feel all the more real and beautiful🩷 If you’re looking for a captivating cowboy romance with depth and charm, this book is the perfect choice! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I’d have preferred a bit more spice 😄 but I highly recommend reading it 💜

I had the privilege of alpha reading this book, and let me tell youuuu.. I enjoyed every minute of it 🥺 let's start with our fmc Quinn. She's a city girl who took a trip to the country to plan her father's wedding. She did not expect to meet a bullrider and fall in love with him 🤭 Then, we have our mmc, Hux. Our hawt bullrider, who has problems of his own. I almost immediately fell in love with Hux and how vulnerable he was with Quinn once he felt comfortable enough with her to share his story. The love between Quinn and Hux had me swooning and smiling almost the whole time 🥹💓 I also loved how when they had a disagreement, they came together and communicated how they felt and resolved their problem. Hux showed so much growth at the end, and I couldn't help but feel so proud of him 🥹 I loved the side characters as well, especially Whit. She was such a positive and supportive bestie 🩷 can't wait to see what else is to come from Shelby 🥰

This is my first book from Shelby Storme and all I can say is I'm so happy I had the opportunity to read All I See Is You. Thank you for including a person with disability as a main character. I loved the representation and addressing realistic struggles an individual may experience while coping with an acquired disability.

I rate this book 4 ⭐ 2 🌶️

Quinn was the perfect FMC for Hux. She was compassionate, understanding, and caring. I absolutely loved that she never overstepped her boundaries with Hux and always respected him and his space. Hux is rough around the edges but him meeting Quinn gave him more than just confidence but something to believe in. Since his accident he has struggled with coping with his acquired disability and being able to show that he is still competent to do things he had prior to his accident.

If you like boss's daughter, disability representation, soulmates, grumpy x sunshine, age gap, bull rider x city girl, and small town romance then I would recommend this book.

I loved the character growth of both characters esp. Hux and the ending of the book and how things played out for both of them was perfect.

I really look forward to reading the next book in the series.

All I see is you by @authorshelbystorme

This cowboy romance was like unlike any others. We meet Quinn, a city girl/party planner going to help her father plan his wedding at a ranch where he is getting married soon.

Then we meet Hux, a former bull rider champion. Life has been unfair to him and he's felt unworthy since an accident he had 3 years ago.

As soon as Hux and Quinn meet it's complete insta love but in the best way. Quinn is a supportive understanding Queen and she goes all in with Hux even though he struggles with communicating in the beginning, as the story goes they evolve & become stronger together.

Shelby Storme delivers a heartfelt and compelling cowboy romance that stands out in the genre for its rich character development and emotional depth. The story follows Huxson, a bull riding cowboy who went blind from an accident and Quinn, an event planner from California. What makes this book shine is the authenticity of its characters. Both characters are deeply relatable, each with their own flaws, insecurities, and personal struggles. These imperfections make the characters feel real and I loved watching their love story grow.

This is a medium/fast burn. I love seeing how she integrates characters from the Mercenary Ranch series into this one. She does this flawlessly and makes me love all the characters from the Mercenary Ranch series that much more.

This book has some much witty dialogue and playful banter. Shelby can skillfully go between playful banter to bringing you to tears with moments of raw emotion and vulnerability. I love that she doesn't shy away from tough subjects, but tackles them head on and brings everything to a relatable viewpoint.

This is such a good book, you will love it!

Heartfelt and Beautiful!!

I knew this book would hit me hard, but I wasn't expecting to feel so much while reading it!! Just the emotion of Hux and his story will tug on your heartstring. He is one grumpy and determined bull rider and doesn't let a little disability like blindness stop him from doing what he loves. Sure, he's had some dark moments, and people don't get him, but he sure is lovable. His gruffness and his charm drawl you in. Oh, and it doesn't help that he calls you Darlin'.. I'm mean Quinn....sorry, my bad.
Quinn is a city girl and hasn't had much time on a farm. She's not knowledgeable about this world, but boy, does she fit in with this world so well. They both feel a connection but don't know if it can work or not. Her dad is hilarious and the fiancee is a horrible woman who gets what she deserves...
Anyway, if you're familiar with the author's previous books, then you'll love who makes a appearance in this one! They bring so much joy and entertainment as always!!
The story is heartfelt and beautiful!! I loved every minute of this book!!

[Rose DeVault · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my first Shelby Storme book and it will certainly not be my last.

Grumpy ex bull rider meets sunshine event planner and you get soulmates. I am overly obsessed with them and by 20% into this book I knew it was going to be a top read for me.

Everything about Hux is broody and dark, but you can’t blame him after a life altering accident. The moment he hears Quinn singing (literally) he knew he found his light. He found the girl that would breathe life back into him. Their attraction to each other were like magnets. Sweet Queenie is probably one of my favorite FMCs. She could hold her ground but had the softest freaking heart. She believed in Hux whether he was a ranch hand for the rest of his life or not. She did not care about the fame or money.

I am so excited to see where this series continues, and I will be downloading Shelby’s backlist ASAP!

Oh wow, this book!!! Shelby Storme was right when she said Hux was the best MMC, he really is. His story and the story as a whole is just amazing.

The characters is this story really make it. Quinn as a FMC is kind, thoughtful and really is someone you want on your team. Hux as the MMC is traumatised after a life changing accident, dark and brooding but adores Quinn from their first meeting.

It was amazing to have some previous characters from The Mercenary Ranch series return as well. I loved those books so having those characters return was a welcome surprise.

The plot is really about accepting yourself as an individual, starting new lives as well as well written romance. It restores your faith and despite some dark subjects I find myself feeling optimistic and positive after reading it.

This book is so wholesome and sweet! From the start you get some insta love vibes. I loved how much Quinn stuck up for Hux. She’s fierce, I adored her, she’s a very relatable fmc. Now Hux!?! Omg where can I find one!? He’s amazing and one of my favorite MCs. A hot, sweet cowboy with a dirty mouth…what’s not to love!?

✨ARC review✨

Eight seconds. When you ride bulls for a living, those eight seconds can alter the course of your life forever.

Huxson Lane is a famous bull rider who gets bucked off his bull, leaving him blind. Now that his rodeo cowboy days are over, he takes a job on a ranch. On this ranch he meets his bosses daughter, Quinn Decker 🫶🏼
Hux’s disability was beautifully written/represented in this story 🥹 and he is now my new book bf 🤍

“But I liked that, for one moment, in her presence, my life didn’t seem so dark” …. I mean come on 😭😭😭😭😭😭

ARC review: I absolutely love Cowboy Romances and this one is no different!!! The story has depth and it touches very delicate topics after Hux had an accident in the Rodeo that resulted in the loss of his sight… 3 years later he meets Quinn…
This was a fun read and the story was amazing!
I wasn’t a big fan of the Insta love. And to be honest, Quinn was too much of a people pleaser and a crier for me to connect with her.
Hux was perfect! Grumpy and so so sweet 🥹 he made it to my top 20 book boyfriends ❤️ (yess I have too many to narrow it down to 10 or less 😫)

I definitely would be reading the other characters stories!!! Can’t wait for Cash and Ollie!! I also cannot wait to see who Whit ends up with

This book took me by surprise. I have never read a romance before with a visually impaired main character. Huxson describes everything in this book with great description and in ways that I wouldn’t normally think through. He is a grumpy cowboy, who is down on his luck, thinking that he has nothing to live for after his accident. Then walks in little Quinn, who changes his perspective on what comes next. These two fall hard and fast, but it’s beautiful. They help each other with their current struggles and make a plan for the future together.

I loved the cross over in characters from the Mercenary Ranch series. Getting another glimpse into characters from previously read books was special but really adds to the plot line.

You know I love cowboys!

This was such a cute book! Quinn is an event planner and she comes down to Texas to her dad’s new ranch to help him plan his wedding. She meets Hux a former bull rider who lost his vision in a bull riding accident and now works on the ranch.

This book was so sweet I loved it. They have a cute meet cute! This is kinda a insta love story but it’s so cute and they are just perfect for each other. Quinn is the sweetest person and exactly what Hux needs in his life. She never made him feel any different and helped him get out of a dark place. But also Hux is so good to her and doesn’t try and hide his feelings. And I love all the side characters we got to. Can’t wait for more.

All I See is You by Shelby Storme is a heartwarming and utterly captivating cowboy romance that I found impossible to put down. The author masterfully weaves the story of a former rodeo cowboy and a city girl, showcasing their beautiful chemistry against the idyllic backdrop of Texas ranches, which adds a dreamlike quality to the narrative.

What truly stood out to me was how seamlessly the author incorporated heavier subject matter into the plot without disrupting the flow of the story. It made the romance feel all the more real and grounded.

If you're looking for a captivating cowboy romance with depth and charm, this book is a perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Hux and Quinn's relationship is one-in-a-lifetime, tugs-at-your-heartstrings kind of love that you can't help but feel deep emotions towards. Their love and devotion for one another is the stuff any romance reader aches for. I ate this book up.

Quinn brings the light into Hux's dark world. The juxtaposition of opposites was done incredibly well. His grumpiness to her sunshine, her light to his dark, his cowboy to her city girl. The amount of support they had for each other and others had for them had me crying and holding my heart. I loved every bit of this story. If I thought I was in my cowboy era before I am absolutely in it now.

Highly highly recommend! Now excuse me while I go boots shopping and find a nearby rodeo...
