Wild Briar Creek #2
Blindside
She's his best friend. She's dating the wrong man. He's about to ruin everything.
Luke Callahan has been quietly in love with Amy Dawson since the fifth grade — not that he'd ever admit it out loud.
He's the rodeo-circuit Callahan. The one who flirts hard, plays loud, and never sticks around long enough to let anyone get too attached. Amy is the one who stays — running her grandmother's diner, pouring his coffee before he orders it, and dating a perfectly respectable man who's going to bore her into the ground by Christmas.
Luke's had ten years to say something.
He's said nothing.
But one late night in the diner kitchen, one almost-kiss, and one Callahan who's tired of running might just change everything.
The only problem?
Amy's never believed he'd stay.
And Luke has to prove — for the first time in his life — that he's finally ready to.
Because there's a difference between the man who takes you out… and the one who shows up at five in the morning just to see your face.
And once a Callahan finally stops running? He's yours for good.

Fantastic read, everything in it from the fun dialogue to all the amazing scenery and small town romance.
Luke has always loved his best friend Amy, but he runs from most everything.
She has always liked him too but needs a man who is prepared to stick around.
Luke is scared, he doesn’t really know who he is, but slowly she helps him find his way.
This is a perfect friends to lovers romance 💖
The setting is perfect, and the side characters so much fun.

meglio questo secondo volume per lessico e traduzione
eccoci alla storia di un altro dei fratelli callahan, quel luke che in realta' ha una vita mai fissa poichè fa i rodeo; qui lo troviamo con amy la sua migliore amica di cui è innamorato da sempre ma proprio per questo suo voler sempre andare via tra loro non c'è mai stato nulla
e da questo punto di vita il libro è diverso dal solito anche perchè amy, fino a meta' libro, è un bel personaggio, di quelle giovani donne cresciute con la nonna (ah quanto mi ha commosso.....non spoilero!) e che ha scelto di lavorare al diner: il passaggio che la fa scadere come personaggio è quando inizia a fare delle scelte solo per non restare da sola ecco lì c'è un calo nella storia, mentre luke prende il suo spazio ma fino ad un certo punto
qui la parte dei cavalli/ranch è più presente
epilogo sempre in due parti, si ritrova anche la coppia del primo libro ma non è necessario averlo letto
preso in unlimited
quattro stelle

Blindside (Wild Creek #2) by Florrie Hardy
Back to Wild Creek, and I was absolutely here for it! 🥹 This was such a fun, emotional and addictive read, with plenty of romance, drama and those little moments that make you completely invested in the characters.
I loved getting to know the characters more and seeing the relationships develop. The Wild Creek setting continues to be such a vibe, and Florrie Hardy does a great job balancing the lighter, swoony moments with more emotional themes.
There were a few moments where I wanted a little more from the story, but overall I really enjoyed it and flew through the pages! 💕 Definitely a great addition to the Wild Creek series and I’m excited to see what comes next.
4/5 ⭐️
