Boots, Bucket Lists & Bad Ideas: A Steamy Girl Next Door, Enemies to Lovers, Grumpy Western Romance

by Lily-Mae Montana, Dark Water Cover (Illustrator), Stevie-Boy Artist (Illustrator)

Hart Wilde and Jade Fox... Need I say more?

She hates me.
I make sure of it.
And it's been working—until now.

Thrown together to plan a shared rodeo sponsorship shouldn't be hard.
But everything with her is hard.
We did it.
Painful phone calls. Awkward meetings.
It's over. We're sending our siblings to host the event, and we can go right back to hating each other from the sidelines.
All is right in the world.
Then she drags out the bucket list I watched her toss in the trash years ago.
A bucket list she was supposed to do with me.
I blink, and suddenly she's going to the rodeo we planned... to finish the list...
With another man?
Oh, hell, no.
I'm packing my bags and going with her.
Because no other man is taking what was, and has always been, rightfully mine.

Jade and Hart may be Enemies, but they never hated eachother. Having to forgive eachother past to move forward the future that it was always meant to be.
This book definitely show how much Jade and Hart loves eachother. Their family doing to bucket list with them. Definitely hilarious to read. And the secrets can they make work after all the secrets come out in the open?
This story definitely has the twists and pulls, the but love always come together and give us a beautiful HEA.
I can't wait to finish the series!

This book was entirely too long for the story, there were too many supporting characters, the grammatical errors, and mixing up the FMC with her sister = ugh! Definitely on the do not recommend list.

I'm a fan of this series and was excited to finally read all about the eldest siblings. I should be careful what I wish for. Goodness... My emotions were all over the place - in all the best ways. I laughed; I cried; I screamed in sympathy; I yearned in want. What a fantastic journey to experience. Even if the turmoil of all the feelings and the depths of those emotions have left me gutted and empty. Would I read this again knowingly putting myself through all this havoc? Absolutely and unequivocally, yes. Fantastic!
