Wild Hearts Ranch #1

Knot Your Problem, Cowboy

I’m not staying.

But these three Montana cowboys might just change my mind.

I was matched once. An Alpha who promised me forever, who made me believe in all those things they say about true mates. And then I lost him.

After that, I stopped dreaming. Stopped hoping. I told myself some bonds only come once in a lifetime… and mine was already gone.

So when a surprise inheritance drags me from city life to a dusty ranch in the middle of nowhere, I plan to keep things simple. Sign the papers. Sell the land. Drive away and forget this place ever existed.

Then I meet them.

Cash. Walker. Ridge.

Three Alphas with stubborn streaks, patient smiles, and that maddening cowboy charm that makes me question every rule I made for myself. They’ve spent years building Wild Hearts Ranch into something solid, and the moment they catch my scent, they know exactly what’s been missing.

Me.

But I didn’t come here to stay.

And with my heat cycle closing in fast and no heat clinics in town, everything I’ve buried starts to unravel. I’m tangled in legal delays, family secrets, and a book club that gossips more than it reads. And those three cowboys? They keep showing up. In my space. In my thoughts. In my heart.

I promised myself I’d never need anyone again.

They’re not asking me to need them.

They’re asking me to belong.

KNOT YOUR PROBLEM, COWBOY is the first standalone book in the heart-melting Wild Hearts Ranch series. A small-town Omegaverse romance featuring forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine sparks, protective Alphas, found family, and one Omega who might finally find home under the Montana sky.

592 pages, Kindle Edition

this one just wasn’t for me. overall it was a sweet OV with an omega with a traumatized past healing on a ranch with 3 cowboys. but the writing style felt like it was just trying to be constant quotable moments or phrases. and it felt like a lot of the chapters left off on one-liners or quotable lines that are supposed to be like thought provoking. maybe once or twice makes sense but almost all of them? it didn’t come off natural. i also got the ick when the guys would talk about any intimate moment with Sophia. the way it was written felt more like locker room talk than talking about their scent match. Cash asks Walker if Sophia is a natural redhead 😒

I bought this book because the title is hilarious - Knot your problem, cowboy? amazing, no notes - and because "Cozy cowboy omegaverse" sounded like an amazing genre I haven't read before.

and let me tell you, it was great. This author knows the meaning of the word cozy. are there tough scenes? yes. but i always knew things would move forward quickly.

five stars.

MINHA NOSSA SENHORA PROTETORA DOS ÔMEGAS QUE LIVRO FOI ESSE?!?

Para ser sincera, eu fui com três pés atrás com esse livro quando li a sinopse. Principalmente por ser omegaverse, tirando em fanfictions, eu não tinha lido um livro em si aprofundando esse tema, e como em fanfics detém a ter plots mais dramáticos, eu estava esperando isso, mas fui surpreendida (no bom sentido). A história conta sobre Sophia que herda um rancho por causa do ex-marido babaca falecido e ela tem que morar lá por três meses e descobre que tem que conviver com três cowboys alfas deliciosos. A história segue um ritmo que eu pude curtir, não teve drama excessivo, tirando a parte do rancho em si, não teve briga de ciúmes entre os três homens, eles eram amigos, companheiros (não no sentido romântico, isso é um livro heterossexual haha) e sendo uma matilha, quatro adultos conversando e se comunicando me fizeram chutar os pés de emoção. É leve, de ficar fazendo você torcer pelos três, e principalmente acompanhar a Sophia aceitando que aqueles três cowboys eram dela e que eles não iam sair da vida dela. O ritmo foi fluido, a história foi envolvente e poderia ter lido mais duzentos páginas facinho.

Dipped my toes into the Omegaverse for the first time with this book, and I think I like it?? Or maybe it was the cowboys?? I’m undecided at this point, so obviously the logical thing to do is read another Omegaverse book. 🤭🤣

This book was such a charmer! I was taken with Sophia immediately and when she meets Brutus, and the guys, it’s a total Western meet cute! Sophia’s internal and external dialogue are everything! And while I do love the guys, Cash your pick up lines and bumper sticker mottos are everything, the additional characters like Chonkarella, Meredith and June are life. I loved this book so much and also hated Nolan and Ronan equally as much. This is a reread!

Arghhhh…I have so many thoughts about this book and there will definitely be spoilers so let’s get into it.

The book starts off so strong. The first pages were absolutely hilarious. I loved the face off between our FMC, the self declared city omega, in her rental car and a rogue bull. The bull actually destroys her car while she flees for safety.

After a whirlwind meeting between the city omega and the sexy cowboy Alpha’s we get our first real encounter with the FMC Sophia and Alpha Walker. He’s sweet and swoony and there’s definitely good vibes.

However, things hit there peak when we get our first encounter between Sophia and Alpha Ridge. It starts out comical, as Sophia is chasing a kitten outside in the middle of the night and she runs into the broody and broken Ridge that spends his sleepless nights stargazing. Ugh this scene was 10/10, sooo freaking perfect. The way the author wrote Ridge was my freaking undoing. He whispers tails of Greek mythology that are painted in the stars. The tragedy, the heartbreak, the yearning. I was like, okay, time to go learn about the stars. It was so bloody romantic. At this point, I thought this was going to be a perfect book.

After this, it when down hill for me. To start, the book is far too long.

Next, I’m a reader that loves a girl squad. I love female friendships, however, it did not work for me in this book. The female friend is sort of forced on the FMC. She’s just way too over the top that it felt disingenuous. Then the whole book club bit was just more of that. It was trying too hard to be funny and I really didn’t need it.

After a while I was thinking to myself, man things are getting boring. There’s no drama. Eventually we get a little bit. Yay! They go to the rodeo and there’s a run in with another woman who clearly “knows” Cash. In this scene we get some really funny dialogue from Sophia. I was vibing with it, then it took a sharp turn. One pet peeve of mine is when MMC’s find FMC’s jealousy amusing. In this scene they actually taunt her over it. Then flirt. To me that was super disrespectful. Cash in no way makes his disinterest known for this other woman. If you want to flirt with other women in front of the omega you’re courting then you shouldn’t be able to turn around and get your omegas affection. That’s a big no for me.

Then Sophia’s character became soooo annoying. I was exhausted with how in denial she was.

Eventually, she gives in and she has her first intimate encounter with Ridge. This was great! His character is my favorite and I was excited that he was the first!

Then we run into another issue that made me so mad. After finally reconciling her feelings and giving into Ridge she walks into the living room to find the same OW from before hanging all over Cash. I thought her reaction was fitting. She should be angry. That was all fine the thing that irritated me was how easily she forgave them. Seriously! Give me some groveling! Give me some anger! Show me what being possessive is all about! Ugh but no, we get a quick paragraph of an apology and she’s satisfied. And she apologizes for over reacting.🙄. Lame.

Then from here, the rest of the book is just ridiculous. I can’t even wrap my head around how they would be responsible for this loan the ranches previously owned co-signed for her slimy grandson. This is all just grasping at straws and it was not working for me. The slimy grandson then assaults Sophia twice and she doesn’t care to report it?! 🤔 Honestly, I had to skim the last 25% because I was just not feeling it anymore which was a major bummer.

It's okay...

This book was okay. I admit I feel a bit bad when I say that books I've read are anything less than good or great when reviewing, but unfortunately all I can really say about "Knot your Problem, Cowboy" is just that - It was "okay."

It was a decent read... mostly lighthearted. There was some plot that could have gone somewhere a bit further or deeper, in my opinion. The side characters were good. I guess it was just the overall book that fell flat with me, mainly because most of it was slow. The guys didn't even talk about how she was their scent match until about 23% in. Up until that point, it was just the FMC driving out to the ranch, meeting the guys and a few townsfolk, and settling in. It felt like it dragged a bit more than it needed to in parts. I could summarize the entire book (592 pages!) into 1-2 short paragraphs. If you want me to, check out the spoiler at the end.

I just found the book kind of dull. It had potential, but I felt it just kind of missed the mark.

If you want something lighthearted without much going on, as well as hot cowboys? Give it a go! If you need some plot and action in your books... you may find yourself a bit bored with this one. It all depends on what you want. Overall? As I opened with... "It's okay."


**** SPOILER ****
Sophia inherits a ranch in Montana through her ex, who died (it never says how). She never knew about it, but when she was told, she went out with the intention of selling it and going back to Chicago. She finds out there's fine print in the will: She needs to live there for three months to officially inherit it. So, live there, she does, along with the three cowboys who've lived there over four years. Surprise, surprise - They're scent matched mates. They try to deny it (at least a couple of them do), but eventually, they stop fighting it.

Ronan (a relative to the original owner of the ranch who passed away) contested the inheritance and finds a way to force Sophia and the cowboys off the ranch unless they can come up with three million dollars. (Sketchy) They have most of it and raise a fundraiser to get the last bit they need. Ronan makes a few appearances in the book (1-2 of them drunk), and nothing big really happens. In the epilogue, we hear what happens to him. The others live happily ever after.

There’s swoony Alphas cowboys (Cash, Walker & Ridge), a strong FMC (Sophia) clawing her way back from trauma, a ranch full of animals (and a lot of menaces namely cats), small‑town charm with colorful side characters (Belle, June & Loretta), and a plot that adds just enough tension without dragging the vibe down.

I listened to the whole thing in two days, completely hooked. The banter is top‑tier. I laughed out loud more times than I can count.
The dual narration is flawless. Avery Reid and Scott Rose are that good!

The pacing is fast, the chapters are long, and yes, there are a few loopholes here and there. The heat
felt a bit flat for me, I’m used to very clear bonding cues in my usual Omegaverse reads. Here it was a bit blurry.
But the experience was just that enjoyable.

Tropes
Cozy cowboy Omegaverse, Small town, reverse harem (FMMM), forced proximity

Content warnings
Emotional abuse, physical abuse, toxic relationship, sexual abuse attempt (suggested)

I liked this one way more than I was expecting to.
I really liked each character’s personality, and all the animals we met. Plus there were a lot of funny moments that had me cracking up.
But I do think we could’ve gotten a lot more relationship development with Walker and Cash, especially considering this book is over 500 pages and the smut didn’t kick in until after 50%.
Don’t get me wrong, I liked that. I thought the pacing was really nice, considering everything going on. But it just didn’t fully Get there in the end. I think she was worrying so much about Ridge and his inability to smell, that she kind of just let the other two fall where they may, if that makes sense.
🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll probably still read June’s book, since I did enjoy the writing style, but I’m definitely going in hoping for some tighter connections.

Knot Your Problem Cowboy is a lighthearted read, with a bull named Brutus, and a calendar full of kitten petting cowboys.

Sophie is determined to stand on your own after a horrible breakup. When she inherits a ranch, it’s a blessing in disguise. Except she finds three more problems when she gets there in the form of Cash, Walker, & Ridge.

I loved this read. It’s cozy and lighthearted. Sophia is a sweetheart and I absolutely loved her blog. Cash is my favorite. His pick up lines are the best. I loved the tension, the steam, and how protective the cowboys were.

Overall, a great read if you love smoking hot cowboys and a western meet cute.

Wow! Words can't even begin to describe how much I loved this book. This story follows Sophia who is an omega and she goes to a small town to take ownership of a property that has been left to her. When she gets there she finds out, in order to obtain the property she must live there for three months. Unfortunately (fortunately), three sexy alpha cowboys live there. The chemistry between the cowboys and the heroine is off the charts. I loved the people who lived in the town and how it was all one big community. This book had me grinning and swooning the entire time.

It was so cute! And the plot was pretty interesting! I love how all the mmcs are so different from each other and how everyone had a background, some of them were very vague tho. The mmcs were so sweet with the FMC, the way they treated her!! So cute!! The ending was adorable!!

Sophia is still trying to make a life for herself about she loses her Alpha. He ignored her, made her feel unloved and unwanted, and that's why she's determined to stand on her own. She inherits a ranch in the middle of Montana and must live there for three months to gain ownership. Except she has to share it with three gorgeous cowboy Alphas who are her scent matches. Sophia finds it impossible to resist these men, but she didn't plan on staying at the ranch and there are some who want her gone for good. Will she find the love she never had with these cowboys or will she flee from what's in her heart?

This is a fantastic cozy reverse harem Omegaverse romance. Sophia is a sweetheart, and I love her strength to stand on her own after all that happened to her. Plus her Omega blog is the best thing ever. Well, best thing next to the book club, the cat sanctuary, and those cowboys. I've never been a big fan of cowboy romances, but this book changed that forever. Cash, Walker, and especially Ridge won my heart. They're protective, sweet, and smoking hot. The tension between them and Sophia left me fanning myself. Lots of steam, suspense, and hilarity. I need more stories in this world. Please give me more!

I loved this book!! It was such a sweet story of found family and community coming together! Sophia finally had control of her life and inherited a farm but there’s a catch, whoever inherits needs to live at Wild Hearts Ranch for 3 months in order to inherit. The three cowboy alphas Cash, Ridge and Walker 🥵 were so sweet and supportive in all the best ways!

My favorite thing has to be Sophia’s blog, Omega in the City! She writes these cute quick posts about her life and they’re hilarious!! Chonkerella and Brutus stole the show!

Sophia has never been someone's priority. Her own bonded Alpha left her alone for heats and couldn't be bothered to show even common decency. With his and his grandmother's passing, Soph inherits a ranch she never heard of or knew existed. With it come 3 cowboys who were promised by the original owner they could buy it from her after 5 years, which hasn't hit yet. Then there's the original owner's kin who will do anything to get his hands on the ranch, including go after an unmated Omega.
I loved that Cash, Walker, and Ridge didn't go the typical enemies to lovers route. Yes Ridge especially didn't know if they could trust Sophia's word about wanting to give them the ranch, but they didn't go out to make her life miserable. If anything, they wanted to get to know her. Might have to do with something about scent matches but also just because they are decent Alphas. They would never attack a woman especially one they can tell needs time and patience.
Sophia comes into herself. She has been mistreated for so long and has always just put up with whatever people say and do to her. Her only outlet really has been her blog. But she gains so much strength and mental fortitude just being around all the guys on the ranch and with their support. The guys are all different yet have an undercurrent of empathy. Even Ridge who was injured years ago and cannot smell anything at all and hurt his hip in a bull accident. While he starts as the most closed off, he opens around Sophia under the stars. She in turn shows him scent isn't everything. Cash is a goofball. He's in from the start almost. I mean, who cannot like a guy that tests his pick up lines on horses and other animals? Walker is our animal lover. There's a whole cat sanctuary. He's the animal whisperer and I think that translates a little to Sophia as she's extremely skittish and for good reason.
There is a small big baddie situation but it is resolved pretty well and easily. It ends up bringing them closer together. I really enjoyed reading this as this was a new to me author.

Harley Knight has me going outside my comfort zone with Knot Your Problem, Cowboy, my first-ever cowboy novel of any kind. I. Am. Stunned. I freaking loved this book!


The setting was perfection. This book has everything you could love about small-town romances, but it makes it into a reverse harem omegaverse. The town is beautiful, where gossip runs like wildfire, and its citizens are charming and well-meaning. It's the perfect setting. Add in every cowboy/country colloquialism there ever was, plus some new ones too, and I couldn't keep the smile off my face. I laughed way more than I thought I would. I loved Sophia's personality. She's bright, open, and funny. Plus, she has good banter game; she and Cash can go back-and-forth for hours.


Three alphas who know what they want (even if one is too afraid to admit it), and they have their sights set on Sophia. After all she's been through, they're exactly the type of guys Sophia needs in her life. Walker's steady presence and his home-cooked meals. Cash with his bright personality and crazy sayings, and Ridge's broody nature and love of mythology. I couldn't choose a favorite.


This was such a warm book. One of my favorite parts was Sophia's blog posts. They were hilarious but insightful. Not to mention the chaos they cause. There was one scene after the guys read one of her posts; they were all gathered in the kitchen, and I never laughed so hard. I have two words: measuring tape. Haha! Sophia was just trying to find her way, discovering great connections on her journey. From bubbly June to the ladies of the book club, now they had me rolling.


Once again, Harley Knight rocks the omegaverse genre. She made me love a cowboy romance; she can do no wrong. I thought that Knot Your Problem, Cowboy was a one-and-done, but there's another book set in this world. Happy dance! Let's see if she can win me again in the next one.

Amazing! The banter & offside comments in this book was on point! Sophia literally stormed into the lives of Cash, Walker & Ridge, in part due to the menace that is Brutus the bull, who lives for creating chaos; the other part: she learned she has inherited a ranch, but it has some conditions. One is that she had to live there for three months. A lot happened pretty fast in those months starting with they all learned they were scent matches. I really love that their ranch has an animal sanctuary, especially the cats (my fav animal & I have six myself). Besides getting to know her cowboys, she makes some more friends, joins a book club, gets threatened by Rose’s grandson, & helps save the ranch to keep it her new home.

Some teasers because I thought these scenes were hilarious:

"Jesus," Ridge mutters. "You are stalking her."
"I'm observing," I snap. "There's a difference."
"We ain't stalking," Walker protests. "We're... observing."
"That's the definition of stalking," Ridge points out.
——
"Cash takes the corners like he's racing," Walker explains,
"I drive with enthusiasm," Cash defends,
"Enthusiastically trying to kill us," I mutter,
"Never had a complaint before." Cash grins,
"That's because everyone's too terrified to speak," Walker says
——
You need hot chocolate and the largest slice of chocolate cake I can find. Maybe the whole cake. And I'll help you eat it, because I'm selfless like that."
——
“Package deal—take me, take my cats."
"Well, I guess we can accommodate three cats," I say, "As long as they don't scratch the leather furniture."
"They're perfect angels," Sophia explains, then whispers to the cats "Don't listen to him. Scratch whatever you want."
——
"Don't you dare, you oversized
hamburger."

I enjoyed this book, it was an omegaverse story, but that wasn’t the focus of the book. I found that interesting since many omegaverse stories are centered on the alpha and omega designations. That is still present, but the characters and their relationships were central to the book.

Sophia has inherited a ranch in Montana from her late alpha’s grandmother after her passing. Sophia travels from Chicago to make plans to sell the ranch. It’s there she meets a pack of three alphas. Ridge, Cash, and Walker have been working on the ranch for years and made plans to buy it. Sophia learns though that she must reside on the ranch for 3 months before she can sell it. The twist comes in the form of Sophia being their scent match. She’s resistant at first to a relationship since her previous alpha was emotionally abusive.

I liked that the guys were willing to take things slow, they were determined to show her they were there for her without pressuring her. I liked that Sophia fell in the love with the ranch and not just the guys. She threw herself into helping where she could and wasn’t letting her city upbringing stop her from learning about ranch life.

There is a threat to the ranch that the four of them have to face, and they really worked well together and supported one another through that. There are spicy times that were hot for sure, but weren’t the main focus of the book. Sophia does go through her heat with them and finally has the support she needs for it. They make a great paring and definitely got their happily ever after.

No third act breakup

I think 2026 might officially be the year I embrace my love for cozy, small-town romances - because this one completely pulled me in. And honestly? Add cowboys and I’m sold every time.

This is my second book by Harley Knight, and it’s safe to say I’m ready to fully dive into her backlist. She has such an easy, immersive writing style, and once again, I found myself completely invested in both the story and the characters.

The book follows Sophia, who inherits a farm in Montana - along with three alpha cowboys - after the passing of her alpha (and I won’t lie… I wasn’t exactly sad about that). What unfolds is an omegaverse, small-town romance that balances emotional healing with warmth, connection, and just the right amount of tension.

The three alphas each bring something different to the story:
Cash is sweet and endearing, with a golden retriever personality and unexpectedly thoughtful one-liners.
Walker is quiet, steady, and protective - with the added bonus that he can cook.
Ridge is more guarded and in denial, but there’s a softer, thoughtful side to him, especially in the way he connects through his love of the stars.

What I really appreciated was Sophia’s journey. Watching her work through past trauma, learn to accept support, and slowly build a life for herself felt genuine and well-paced. The small-town setting adds to that sense of comfort and growth, and the found family dynamic is a highlight.

It’s a beautifully written story with emotional depth, engaging characters, and a setting that’s easy to fall into. I’m really looking forward to continuing the series - especially June’s story.

This book just wasn't for me. First, it seemed to drag on and on and on. It was a really slow burn, but the build-up just wasn't there. It was also pretty low steam.

There is one pet peeve that hit the hardest, though, and I just can't get over it:

There is this other woman who shows up after everyone realizes they're scent matches. The pack is actively courting Sophia at this point. The first time she comes along, they were on a date at the rodeo, and this other woman crawled over Sophia to get to Cash. She was all over him, her hands stroking down his chest while she whispered seductively in his ear. He was on a date with Sophia, and he didn't tell the heifer to leave. He didn't tell her to stop touching him. He just let her do all of this right in front of his scent match. Then he doesn't even apologize to Sophia; he's just happy that she's jealous. That's fucked up and super disrespectful to his mate.

This happens again toward the end of the book, except it's even worse because he lets this girl do whatever she wants to him in their home when he doesn't think Sophia will see. And we're just supposed to accept his simple apology afterward?

Honestly, I lost a lot of respect for the pack because of the OW drama. Add in the way they engage in "locker room talk" when speaking about Sophia, and I don't really like these disrespectful men much anymore ("Do the carpets match the drapes? I just have to know.") Gag. What are you, teenage boys?

Knot Your Problem, Cowboy is everything I want in a romance. Emotional, heartfelt, and absolutely impossible to put down. From the very first page, I was hooked by the heroine’s strength, her vulnerability, and the way she is determined not to let herself hope again. Watching her journey from guarded and broken to slowly opening her heart was breathtaking.

Cash, Walker, and Ridge are pure cowboy perfection. Each of them brings something unique to the story. Steadfast devotion, quiet patience, and that rugged charm that makes you melt. Together, they do not just want her, they see her, cherish her, and give her the sense of belonging she thought she had lost forever. Their connection is electric, tender, and deeply moving.

The Montana ranch setting is beautifully described, giving me that warm small-town escape feeling. The mix of heat, humor, and heartfelt emotion kept me smiling, swooning, and tearing up in equal measure. With family secrets, a book club full of gossip, and just the right amount of drama, this story had me completely captivated.

This is not just a romance, it is about healing, second chances, and finding home in the most unexpected place. Knot Your Problem, Cowboy sets the stage for a series I cannot wait to devour and it is easily a five star read.

If you are looking for protective Alphas, a fierce but lovable Omega, and all the feels under the wide Montana sky, this book delivers it all.

“But maybe, just maybe, some things are worth chasing across the sky. Even if you never catch them.”

Sophia heads to Montana expecting to sign some paperwork, sell the ranch she inherited from her cruel alpha, and get back to her life. Instead, she gets attacked by a bull, meets three ridiculously hot cowboys, and somehow starts enjoying ranch life. Oh, and catching feelings for three alphas who already seem convinced she’s theirs. 😏

After not being impressed with my first book by Harley Knight, I’m SO glad I gave the author another chance because I really enjoyed this one! This was such a fun OV cowboy romance. Sophia was smart, sassy, and determined to figure out her newfound freedom, and I loved that the alphas gave her the space to do that while quietly hovering nearby in case she needed them.

The alphas were basically the Omegaverse dream team: the golden retriever, the smart and stoic one, and the broody one who’s convinced he isn’t good enough for his omega. Watching their relationships with Sophia develop was so much fun!

The spice was spicy, the banter was funny, and there was just enough plot to keep things interesting. Avery Reid and Scott Rose also did a solid job bringing the story to life.

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing where Knight takes this series! 🤠🔥

This was okay. I think I'm in a 'me slump' though. I just didn't feel like we got from A to Z, smoothly. It felt like we skipped so many letters and now we're at the end but missing too much to appreciate the full picture. It is a scent match situation, so there is that inherent instalove, but even so...
Also, another me thing, but could the author have picked more stereotypical cowboy names? Cash, Walker and Ridge. Smh. Kinda like all the Russians named Nikolai in mafia books. Lol! I didn't take off any rating for the names.
Our fmc inherits a ranch when her awful alpha, Nolan, dies. When she gets there she meets her 3 scent matches who run the ranch, one of which, cannot smell due to an accident. He is, of course, the grumpy one (Ridge). He used to ride bulls competitively, until the aforementioned accident. He was momentarily distracted during a ride because he saw his then love interest, Abby, with another guy. Hence, the grumpiness.
Cash is the playboy. Sweet, but allows an ow, Britney, to hang on him a couple of times, leading to some hurt feelings. It's resolved though. No cheating. He was never with her, she just really hoped.
Walker. Hmm, ngl, I forgot already and I just finished this yesterday.
It took me a while to finish this audiobook. It's cute, low angst but, just ho hum.
They have to save the ranch from being taken over by the fmc's dead alphas evil relative. Ronan is a sleaze but, of course, the good guys prevail in the end.

Sophia (omega) inherited Wild hearts ranch from her late Alpha when he passed away who inherited it from his Grandmother Rose. She thought it was going to be a straightforward sale of the property, collect the money and move on with her life but turns out that Rose’s will stated she had to live on the property for 3 months before she could make any decisions. Sounds straightforward you think, but fate threw in another obstacle 3 hot as sin cowboys who are currently living on and running the ranch.
For some the forced proximity works to spark a flame faster than others and as you get to know the characters you find out not everyone is as eager or able to trust their instincts thanks to past trauma. All four main characters are brilliantly written and I dare you to read this book and not fall head over heels with Cash, Walker or Ridge or Hell all 3 of them, I couldn’t choose! Each so different but each so perfect, yes I’m in love with fictional men yet again! Lol
This book had it all laugh out loud moments (the book club meeting had me crying laughing), happy moments, sad moments, edge of your seat moments, spicy moments (I mean 3 hot as hell cowboys use your imagination) all you could need from your book and more.
Highly recommended
Ps make sure you download the bonus chapter too.
