Diamond Back Ranch #2
Reckless Vow
Not yet published
Expected 3 Nov 26THE DIAMOND BACK RANCH IS BACK in this spicy second installment in the hottest new cowboy romance series. . .
Hestia Hampton never meant to stay in Wyoming. The ink-stained, sharp-tongued tattoo artist came to the Diamond Back for a breather - one month to lick her wounds after a toxic ex-situationship in London and to mourn the studio she left behind. She’s here for open skies, fresh inspiration, and maybe a wild night or two. Not for him.
Jesse Bennington is temptation on two legs. A retired bull rider with a smile that could melt steel and shoulders built for sin, he’s sworn to take care of his family, no matter the cost. Even if it means climbing back into the ring. Even if it means breaking his own heart.
So when he and Hestia agree on a no-strings fling, it should be simple. But nothing’s simple when desire runs this deep, and under the wide Wyoming skies, rules are meant to be broken . . .
READERS ARE FALLING FOR THE DIAMOND BACK RANCH . . .
'A must read for all cowboy romance lovers out there!'
'If you’re fans of Elsie Silver and Lyla Sage this may be your new cowboy obsession!'
'I absolutely LOVED this book, I devoured it.'
'A perfect Summer read! Cowboy romance with a British twist - 5 Stars!'
'I tore through this in one sitting and was locked in at 2 a.m. yelling just KISS already.'

This was generally enjoyable, but ultimately nothing the genre hasn't already explored before.
This story follows Hestia (Lottie's best friend from the first book in this series), an alt 'say it how it is' but emotionally turbulent FMC; and Jesse, a cheeky charmer who is looking for a safe someone to give his heart to. Their physical attraction is instantly obvious and similar characteristics have lead other characters to anticipate their meeting.
While the story goes on to develop more emotional depth, I think it is worth pointing out that some may find this romance difficult to subscribe into since it is initially based entirely on raw physical attraction and is categorically NOT a slow burn.
I enjoyed the growth of both characters, notably Hestia, in their approach to relationships and general perceptions of love but there were crazy self-sabtoage moments that felt frustrating and only served to have the famous 'third-act' conflict in the plot.
I think the real highlight of this book is Jesse Bennington - generally he is just a charming guy with a wild streak and a heart of gold, other than the aforementioned self-sabotage. But hey, I think his easy going demeaner made him a stand-out character in both books in this series so far and were generally uplifting for the tone of the book.
I think the initial statement sums up my thoughts. I could go on to try find flaws but I did enjoy my time reading this book, but it is unlikely that it will stick with me. I would recommend if you are still new to the cowboy romance genre as I do really enjoy the country atmosphere of these types of books and this is a reasonable example.

A black cat, tattoo artist FMC and a golden retriever, cowboy MMC! I loved them!! Seeing Hestia realise what she deserves was such beautiful character development!

This cowboy romance was just what I needed. Cute, wholesome and a great found family. Really appreciate the mental health representation as well. The perfect palete cleanser

Reckless Vow was a great palate cleanser which I definitely enjoyed more the Untamed Heart but I found the pacing slightly off and felt like Hestia and Jesse’s relationship lacked emotional depth.
I adore Hestia. I was so excited we were getting a story for her after falling in lover with her during Untamed Heart. She fully embodies that “black cat” energy—guarded, sharp-tongued, independent, and a little emotionally unavailable in a way that makes her so compelling to read. She doesn’t fall easily, doesn’t trust quickly, and keeps people at arm’s length, which makes every crack in her armor feel earned. Watching her slowly unravel (and fight it every step of the way) was honestly one of the most satisfying parts of the story.
Hestia and Jesse had a connection, albeit a physical one instantly! This book is definitely spicier than untamed heart and their “no-strings” arrangement is exactly the kind of setup that obviously isn’t going to stay simple. The plot line of the book largely leans into this element and I felt there could have been more focus on the emotional side to their connection.
Overall, though it’s a steamy, easy cowboy romance read worth trying if you love a black cat FMC and a FWB arrangement.

wow i really liked this one! i was looking forward to this couple’s romance and i really liked how it was done—the way the author dealt with their emotional baggage felt authentic and i really liked watching them fall in love.
definitely adding this to my list of cowboy romance series to keep an eye on, ESPECIALLY after that little teaser we got for lil’s romance.

Arc review out 26th March
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️
She swore it was only temporary…but he makes forever look tempting.
I was so thrilled when I got approved for this arc. I finished Untamed Heart and immediately after I finished I headed on over to apply for this. I really enjoyed Gemma’s Untamed Heart, but book number two is something else entirely 😮💨 and I am here for it.
We met Hestia and Jesse in book one, the feisty black cat tattoo artist FMC and the world’s most adorable golden retriever reformed playboy MMC. We knew from the get go that these two were going to be 🔥 and their attraction is instant - chapter 1 spice ladies!
After that these two start with a mutually beneficial relationship but both of them quickly realise they are falling and this is turning into something neither of them were expecting. There is extra drama in this book that I was just missing in book 1, that and having my full name thrown around as a nickname in this book did funny things to me…
This book is full of heart, self acceptance, swoon worthy cowboys and an ultimate HEA. Don’t get me started on Jesse’s relationship with his Mum 😭
Thank you so much to Gemma, NetGalley and Pan MacMillan for the opportunity to read this arc, I loved it.

A cowboy romance with a British fmc was something I didn't know I needed in my life 🇬🇧 Add a hot bull-rider to the mix and I'm completely melting 🫠
First of all, thank you to the author for sending me this ARC and trusting me with her work. Having absolutely loved Untamed Heart, I couldn't wait to dive into the sequel. Hestia and Jesse were heavily teased in book one, which made my anticipation even higher. Naturally, I was beyond excited when I received my copy and could finally dive into Reckless Vow.
We jump into the story quite quickly, with little build-up, which made it slightly harder for me to settle in at first. I would also have liked to see a bit more tension between Hestia and Jesse, especially considering the sparks and unresolved energy hinted at in the first book.
But once I settled into the story, I had the ride of my life. About halfway through, there's a turning point that elevated everything. From then on, I truly loved the direction the story took and how it all unfolded. The drama, the emotional depth, and how the characters dealt with their feelings, really pulled me in.
Getting to see the Diamond Back Ranch found family in action again was incredibly heartwarming - I loved seeing more of Cole and Lottie, as well as Bailey and Lil. And that little teaser at the end? It definitely left me excited to see where Lil's story will go next 👀

This book completely exceeded my expectations! It’s my first book by this author so I was jumping in mid series and must admit the first couple of chapters I did feel that and like I was maybe missing some background/ build up but once I got a little further in it was clear this can definitely be read as a stand alone. I do think I’ll go back and read book 1 though as I loved Cole and Lottie so think I’d enjoy their story!
Hestia is visiting Lottie at Diamond Back Ranch from London, staying for just a few weeks, and has instant chemistry with bull rider Jesse. At first it’s just physical, but quickly they both realise there are feelings involved that are getting stronger and stronger.
Some parts of their story are messy, Hestia has a pretty toxic past and there were times I wanted to scream at them both! But I really felt their emotions and enjoyed the author’s writing a lot. I didn’t want to put it down and couldn’t wait for them to finally get their HEA! I really hope we see lots of them in future books…and that Lil might be next?!
Huge thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for this ARC.

I just LOVED being back in Diamond Back Ranch with Hestia and Lottie!
Reckless Vow follows Hestia and Jesse and their situationship 😍🤣 again like I did with book one I binge read in one go because I just love these kind of story’s! 🥰
I love Hestia and her fiery attitude and how Jesse is just simple head over heels for her the way she is 😍
Gemma had me crying in chapter 5!!!! God I love it when a book makes you cry 😭😍 throughout the whole book you can see how hard it is for Hestia to let go of her feelings for the past few years and realise she IS worthy of love, of someone who is dedicated to her and a life that isn’t filled with drama. You really see her grow and as much I wanted her to have her ‘I got off the plane’ Rachel from friends moment, I’m so glad she didn’t because some people really just need to see it out themselves!
That ending AHHH it was so so cute! Tieinf up book 1&2 in a nice little bow 🥹😍
NOW I neeeeeeeeed book 3 asap! I’m so ready for Lils story!!!!!!

reckless vow by gemma morr has officially ruined me in the best way possible. like… i fear i will not know peace until i find my own golden retriever cowboy because JESSE??? that man is everything. soft where it counts, loyal to his core, and the kind of love that just wraps around you and stays there.
and i need to say it… this might have topped untamed heart for me. which is actually insane behaviour but here we are.
hestia??? i adore her. strong, grounded, and so easy to root for. her and jesse together just WORK. the chemistry, the tension, the emotion… it was giving everything it needed to give.
this book had me:
– giggling
– kicking my feet
– fully emotionally invested
– contemplating a move to a ranch for a man i haven’t met yet
gemma morr you have done it AGAIN. bravo.
i loved every second of this story and now i’m sat here like…
cool so where is bailey’s book? where is lil’s book?? i need them immediately.

Hestia and Jesse are everything! So this is my first ever cowboy romance and after this perfect book I am so going to start down into this rabbit hole. I will do so by reading the first book of this series.
I loved everything about the characters. Hestia is broken and Jesse mends her piece by piece without her even realizing it until the very end. I adore their connection, which starts off very steamy, but quickly turns into something deep and life-changing.
I also often had to shed some tears because the people surrounding Hestia treat her with so much love and appreciation anybody can only wish for.
I also enjoy Jesse a lot.
He does not force her to say or do anything and always supports her. He never imposes the feeling on her that she is too much on the contrary he cant get enough of her.
The ending of the book was amazing and touching.
I am really happy that this was my first Cowboy romance.

Really enjoyed this book. Enjoyed it more than the first one even, but the ending ruins it for me.
I was already annoyed that the whole book was hinting towards Cole proposing to Lottie towards the end, but Jesse and Hestia too??? Come on. All of them not even know each other for over 6 months? Ugh.
You cannot get engaged when knowing each other for just a few months. It's not cute, it's annoying! It happens too often in romance books in my opinion.
The author wrote two lovely stories, I did really enjoy both books. But this... I love it for everyone who loves these types of endings, I do envy you.

I loved the first book between Lottie and Cole, but Hestia and Jesse - holy guacamole - they may have taken first place as my favourite opposites attract couple.
I found the mental health rep was well done, until midway, the toxicity of Cal ruined the vibe - I hated that Hestia felt compelled to leave Jesse as she was reminded that she “wasn’t good enough for him” because of her history with Cal and the relationships she grew up observing.
The reunion between Hestia and Jesse was equally gorgeous and frustrating. Chrissy getting in the way of Hestia confessing her love to Jesse face to face could have prevented his accident but then it wouldn’t have made an entertaining end 😂
I really enjoyed the story, although parts were frustrating - for the right reasons (let my girl get her man!!) - it was a wild enjoyable ride!

Listen i am a simp for cowboy romance but i fear i over the let’s start getting together before we even hit the 30% mark, combined with the miscommunication trope too, the book really lost me faster than I expected to read it.
Pretty dissapointed by this

If I had a good time with the first book “Untamed Heart”, of the Diamond Back Ranch series, I hoped to love this second book even more. Finally, they’re both for me at the same place in my heart.
I want to start by thanking Gemma for introducing Jessy’s point of view in this book. It adds so much more depth, emotion and interest to the story and characters.
Since the beginning of this series, I have really loved Jessy’s character. He has such a tender heart; he is shiny, funny, and a good man. I truly love his personality and his relationship with his family.
But I love even more his patience, kindness, and support toward Hestia.
I needed more time to appreciate Hestia, but in the end, I really love her! She is such a complex character, with so many insecurities and issues. She hasn’t been well loved by her family, but she becomes a truly good person and woman.
If I really like Jessy and Hestia as individuals, I didn’t feel butterflies in my stomach or a spark between them as a couple. Their relationship starts as a spicy one, and unfortunately, those spicy moments never really stop and take up too much space. I wanted more emotional moments and connection without physical intimacy. In the end, not much happens, and it felt a bit long, even though Gemma’s writing is always a pleasure to read.
I would also have appreciated more development between Hestia and her family, as we never really get any explanations.
I still had a good time with all these characters : Jessy, Hestia, Lottie, Cole and Bailey, but I will love more details and actions.

I was really looking forward to this after enjoying the first one but I nearly DNF’d after page 15!
It did get better towards to end but I didn’t love the FMC especially in the beginning. I didn’t mind her being a strong, Tattooed woman, it was as soon as she slept with Jesse for the first time within the first 10pages of the book, the next day she approached a female ranch working as basically suggested they hook up too!! Then later in the book kept bringing up feeling the connection she felt with Jesse from the first time they hooked up!! Well clearly not as it was forgotten the next day!
Also apparently after their second encounter they agreed to be friends with benefits but they spent the next couple of weeks ignoring each other, but pining!!! Even tho they spent no time together or getting to know each other… I just wasn’t buying there connection at all, he was a wonderful MMC but I couldn’t see what he saw in her.
Also didn’t like, her best friends b/f was showing her the Engagement ring he got,seeking her approval as being the most important person in Lotties life and she ends up making it about herself and why she hates marriage!!!
And last but not least, she moaned about being worried Jesse was going to Bull ride after not doing it for awhile how worried for him she was, asking should I be there, will me being there distract him and people saying no it will help ground him knowing she’s there…. What does she do? Instead of walking out and just going to the Airport back to London or watching the ride and then telling him, she seeks him out, tells him she’s leaving straight for London and walks off just before he’s about to ride!!! ….but shouts back please don’t ride in the state she left him in!!!
Her character felt so different from the beginning of the book to the end, And it wasn’t because of growth ect felt like the Author changed her personality towards the end of the book, but I couldn’t get over the first part, I didn’t like her and honestly Jesse deserved better

Her character felt so different from the beginning of the book to the end, And it wasn’t because of growth ect felt like the Author changed her personality towards the end of the book, but I couldn’t get over the first part, I didn’t like her and honestly Jesse deserved better

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Thank you Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
Reckless Vow is the second in Gemma Morr's interconnected cowboy romance series, 'A Diamond Black Ranch'. It follows a Black Cat tattoo artist from London and a Golden Retriever cowboy from Wyoming.
I will start by saying I have not read Untamed Heart, the first in the series, and I think my reading enjoyment really suffered because of this. I love interconnected romances and often will read them in order but have sometimes picked up a random one and found that I've still enjoyed the story. Unfortunately I found that I was missing quite a lot here by not reading the first book as i felt like it started in the middle of their romance. I love spice and appreciate when it starts early but I felt like I'd missed some chapters leading up to it for them so it lacked the tension and build up that I love to read. I didn't really understand why they very quickly loved each other when I didn't feel like there was much build up, besides a few hook ups in the early chapters. It felt quite insta love to me although I appreciate that I may have missed some of their build up in Untamed Heart.
Having read a few cowboy romances, I did have a few issues with the way Hestia reacted to Jesse's job and his quickness to get back to it at the beginning of the book. I also felt everything with Luci could have been explored a bit more - that was an interesting part that could have added a bit more to Hestia as a character instead of making all her POVs be just about Jesse. Romance is my favourite genre to read but I like my main characters to have their own jobs/lives so that not every conversation/interaction is about their main love interest, personally.
Other than that, it was a spicy cowboy that was fun to read. I'm sure that fans of book 1 will enjoy the continuation of the series! And I am definitely intrigued by Lil's story which was teased at the end!

Welcome back to Diamond Back Ranch with Reckless Vow 😍
We left Lottie happily in love with her Cowboy Cole and now we are returning back for Hestia and Jesse's story. This has been a book that I have been looking forward to reading because I LOVED the first one and now that they have their own book. I have been a fan of Jesse since the first book.
Reckless Vow focuses on Jesse & Hestia's developing situationship into a relationship. Hestia has a fiery attitude with enough sass to standout on her own. She is a one woman show that doesn't need anyone despite demons from the past that still haunt her.
Jesse is one of the Cowboy's at Diamond Back Ranch and he's got charm, a handsome smile and not surprising that Hestia wasn't able to resist him for very long. I loved the journey that I was taken on and seeing that Hestia was finally able to let go off her past and finally realize that she can be happy. But Cal & Chrissy... yeah nothing can redeem them in my eyes 😂😂
Gemma Morr has a way of writing main characters with flaws and they are never just brushed over. Some are deep and traumatic that they aren't just healed instantly. The characters work through them and even then they are never always completely healed. Such personal growth was shown through each of their actions and that's something that I love in this book.
This book broke my heart in places and then by the end put it back together again with such a sweet ending. I loved Untamed Heart but Reckless Vow just took these books to a whole new level as well as getting to see other characters that I loved from the first book.
It took me time to find this book but it was worth the wait and I enjoyed every single moment of this book. I did NOT want it to end. And can we talk about those little snippets dropped towards the end? Is Lil getting her own book because now that is a story that I need to read. And Bailey's please. I'm not ready to leave Diamond Back Ranch just yet 🤠🤠🤠

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
I loved being back at Diamond Back Ranch. I’ve been looking forward to Hestia and Jesse’s story since the sneak peek at the end of Untamed Heart and I was not disappointed.
We are thrust straight into the action in Reckless Vow, and I will admit that did make it slightly harder for me to become immersed from the off, but once I was in, I was in. I read this in just a few hours, compelled to keep turning the pages to see their story through.
Gemma Morr writes fantastic main characters. Hestia was messy and real. I thought the mental health representation was so believable. I really felt everything Hestia did, although I couldn’t relate to her in quite the same way that I did with Lottie in Untamed Heart. And you could really see where her past had impacted her present. I understood her even if I couldn’t quite connect.
And Jesse. Where do I even start with how much I loved him. It was fantastic to see such a genuine (and not problematic) MMC. His actions and reactions made complete sense and it was great to see both he and Hestia grow through the book.
I felt that Untamed Heart was over a bit too quickly. I did not feel this about Reckless Vow. It was the perfect length to see the relationship between Hestia and Jesse develop, the inevitable third-act issue and the final resolution. And, I’ll say it again, the characters and relationship felt so believable (although I caution you to suspend your disbelief when it comes to the ease of UK/US relationships).
I really hope there are more stories in this world. Run, don’t walk to pick this one up.
With thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review an advanced copy of this before publication. All views are my own.

Thank you @netgalley and @panmacmillan for this ARC, I'm beyond grateful because it was one of the 2026 releases I was most looking forward to.
I had a great time with Untamed Heart but since the book is very short, I felt like I didn't really know the characters at the end. This volume is longer and well-developed. I read it in less than 24 hours. Gemma, what did you put in this book to make it so addictive?!
I was so eager to read Jesse's story because he stole my heart in the first book. And I wasn't disappointed at all: he was exactly as I had imagined him. He's a truly good man, hardworking and soooo charming. He wears kindness on his face. I was giggling and tapping my feet every time he flirted with Hestia. His relationship with his family was so sweet and he does so much for the people he loves.
I instantly loved Hestia, who is a badass and fun-loving woman who, unfortunately, hasn't always been treated the way she deserves. Falling in love wasn't part of the plan when she had her life and tattoo business in London but she didn't expect to meet such an attractive cowboy... I loved seeing her open up about her insecurities throughout the book confiding in Jesse, Lottie, Cole, Bailey and even through her mare, Luci. I truly loved all those moments which only increased my love for this found family.
Can we talk about the INCREDIBLE chemistry between Jesse and Hestia?😋 It was definitely fire between them. It's spicy, passionate but it's so much more than just physical attraction. Between them, it's natural, almost inevitable. They don't need to pretend to be someone else to be loved completely.

Thank you to Pan Macmillan for the e-ARC of Reckless Vow in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
Ahh, I absolutely adored Hestia in Untamed Heart and loved that she decided to follow her best friend Lottie to Wyoming. It was really nice being back in this world and seeing some familiar faces again. I also absolutely adored Jesse. He is such a dreamy cowboy, he's defo up there with a few other hot cowboys!
I did like Hestia and Jesse together, and there were definitely moments between them that I enjoyed. Jesse in particular had a really sweet side that made him very swoon-worthy. That said, there were a few things that pulled me out of their story a little.
I think for me, I found their relationship to progress quite quickly. I would have loved to see more emotional build up between them. Because of this, their more tender moments did not land as strongly for me as they could have.
There is also a miscommunication that causes conflict between them, too, and parts of it felt a bit toxic in a way I was not really expecting the story to go. It surprised me and took me out of the romance slightly.
Even with that, I still enjoyed being back with these characters and seeing where everyone is now. I am especially curious Lil and her rich ex-fiancé, Ryder, who paid ten thousand for a date with her, and I am intrigued to see how their story plays out.
Overall, this did not quite land the way I hoped, but I still had a good time revisiting this world the characters, and I am so interested to see where the series goes next, especially with Lil and Ryder, too!!

Thank you so much to Netgalley, Pan Macmillan and Gemma Morr for giving me the opportunity to read this as an arc!
Reckless vow is the second book in the Diamond Back Ranch series, a series of interconnected standalone set in a ranch in Wyoming. This one follows Hestia, the best friend of the FMC in the previous book, and Jesse, one of the cowboys that work for the ranch.
I have to say that I went into this without reading book one, Untamed Heart, but I feel like I didn’t miss any important detail. It’s easy to piece together the important parts, and sure it spoils the core of the previous story but if you have no problem with that you can read this as a standalone with no issue.
I decided to pick this up because I like cowboy romances and because I was eyeing book one for a while, so I thought reading this one would give me the push to start the series. I mostly enjoyed Reckless vow, but it didn’t make me go crazy. It was a nice read, but I expected more tension and more buildup. The relationship between Hestia and Jesse evolves rapidly and I wanted it to have more of a “will they or won’t they” element, but in reality it was obvious where their relationship was headed.
I liked both our main characters and I appreciated their complex stories and feelings, but in some points it felt like some of those feelings were just surface level. I would have enjoyed exploring more their trauma and pasts, and actually seeing them work through all that stuff.
The only thing that actively bothered me was the fact that some phrases or parts felt very stereotypical, like for example the entire part about the healthcare system or the portrayal of Hestia’s bisexuality.

After absolutely loving book one, I was really excited to dive into Reckless Vow. Overall, I did thoroughly enjoy it — the chemistry was strong, the tension was there, and Gemma definitely knows how to pull you into the drama.
That said, I struggled a little more to fully connect with this one. I can’t put my finger on why? I loved Jesse and Hestia in book 1 and usually eat up opposites attract. Hestia is withdrawn and guarded when it came to love, some parts of the relationship progression felt a bit rushed for this to be part of her character to me. I wanted a little more time to really sit in that emotional shift, because it had the potential to hit even harder. At times, it felt like we moved past some important moments quite quickly.
Even so, I was still invested in the story and the characters, and there were definitely scenes that reminded me why I loved this world in the first place. The found family is really good in this series! It just didn’t quite reach the same level for me as book one.
Overall, a solid and enjoyable read — just not quite a five-star for me.
However I am super interested and on the edge of my seat for Lils story who I assume is up next in the series that auction at the end and the introduction to a past love had me hooked for what to come her way! And I’m really looking forward to potentially getting in that lady’s head!

3.5 🌟 / 5
Thank you to NetGalley, PanMacmillan and Gemma Morr for an ARC of this book.
This is second book in the Diamond Back Ranch Series, a deliciously hot cowboy romance.
I quite enjoyed the first book, which introduced us to the main characters for this novel, Hestia and Jesse and I was excited to see their story.
Hestia is very fun and flirty however, her walls come down and she starts to reveal her reservations and past trauma which holds her back. The majority of the book was Hestia trying to figure out her own conflicted feelings. Whereas Jesse seemed to be this good looking, playboy cowboy with a caring nature for his friends and family who fell first for Hestia.
The pacing unfortunately felt off. Upon starting, the plot went straight into the flirting between the two main characters, and I thought I had skipped a couple of chapters. Even throughout the book, their romance went from 0-100 in less than 60% of the book without any true emotional depth or non-sexual interactions, which makes me lack belief in their love for one another. Some things I felt needed further clarity or understanding i.e introductions to Jesse’s family within the first 100 pages.
It is an easy read if you’re wanting a palate cleanser for something more light hearted.
Overall:
🌟🌟🌟.5
🌶️🌶️
Tropes: cowboy romance, black cat x golden retriever, he falls first, small town romance, insta-love.

Thank you to NetGalley and Gemma Morr for the ARC 🫶
Hestia is my spirit animal for sure... I adore her and her story, maybe even a little more than Lottie who i loved too!
🤠 Bull rider MMC
💜 Bad ass tattoo artist FMC
🔥 Fire chemistry
🙈 Friends with benefits (to start with)
🏘 Small town romance
I knew within the first 2 chapters of Reckless Vow I was going to love this book. The spice starts almost immediately and despite not knowing much about the main characters yet, due to Gemma's clever writing i was already fully invested in them both!
Hestia is a bad ass and im so proud of how far she grows as a person in this book.
Fleeing her toxic ex in London, Hestia arrives in Diamond Back Ranch to spend some time with her bestie Lottie and regroup. Meeting bull rider Jesse the sexual chemistry sizzles immediately and neither of them can ignore it. With her time at the ranch Limited, our girl makes an important booking... (not saying anything else so there are no spoilers 🤪) is this the start of the shift between the pair?
There are challenges along the way including both of them fighting their own demons, i thought this was well written even though there was slight miscommunication going on.
I thoroughly enjoyed this read and cant wait to see what comes next from Gemma 👌

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
After visiting her best friend Lottie in the US, Hestia is certain of one thing—she’ll never fall for a cowboy. Her life, her tattoo business, and her future are firmly rooted in London. Falling in love was never part of the plan… until Jesse. Their connection is instant, the chemistry undeniable, and suddenly Hestia is questioning everything she thought she wanted. Could she really give up her entire life for a cowboy?
Oh my god, this book. I thought Untamed Heart was incredible, but this somehow surpassed it. I genuinely didn’t think Gemma could top that story—and yet she absolutely did. I am coming off of an emotional rollercoaster and needed to take a moment. I love Jesse with my whole heart, and Hestia is a total badass queen who deserves to be worshipped. I also loved getting updates on Lottie and Cole, Lil was amazing. I’d love to know her back story.
Gemma Gemma Gemma what are you doing to me, girl ??
I’ve laughed , I’ve cried , I’ve panicked , I’ve swooned . I’m gonna need extra face cream tonight in the hope I don’t have more creases !! What an emotional book !! I loved every second and read it in a day !!!
