I’m a big fan of Ashley James but this one wasn’t my fav. If you’re going for a nice gentle low angst read it’s definitely good. Just felt like not much happened. There was build up to drama and excitement but not much came.
It was just very nice. Very gentle.

You can always count me in for a story where the main characters are talking online without knowing who the other person really is. Even though this one played out from one side, I had a great time reading it.
Hollis and Ford are total opposites in all the best ways. Ford, the grumpy and emotionally guarded firefighter, ends up matching with bold, bubbly Hollis on a dating app. Their match leads them into each other's DMs pretty quickly, and the chemistry between them comes through loud and clear.
There were some really steamy moments, but I found myself wishing for a little more emotional depth between them. A couple of slower, more vulnerable conversations would have added something extra to their connection for me.
The ranch setting came to life, as it always does with this author. I loved seeing familiar faces again, especially Finn, and the cozy group dinners were some of my favorite scenes. They had a warm, family feel that made me want to pull up a chair at the table.
Overall, this was a fun, low-angst, high-heat cowboy romance with a great setup and a strong sense of place. If that’s your kind of comfort read, you’ll probably have a great time with it too.
Tropes:
Age gap
Opposites attract
Hidden identity
Forced proximity
