I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would, I really never pictured myself reading a book with horse's but it really was a good read. I've even found myself calling my pets "pretty girl" and "pretty boy" 🤣 it's really rubbed off. Still felt myself rolling my eyes at sections but sometimes thats fun hahaha
I liked the twists and felt it handled delicate topics well, would definitely recommend it and will be looking to read more from Elsie.
I haven’t read a small town romance in so long and this was great. It wasn’t just set in a place close to wear I grew up irl which was a nice surprise but the characters were great. Grumpy/ Sunshine is one of my favourite tropes and Elsie did a good job unthawing Cole’s heart. Violet was the perfect cross between sassy and sweet that it was genuine and real. I want to read the rest of her books now.
So i did enjoy this one, the characters had depth and were thoroughly thought out. I wasn't a huge fan of the 'third act separation' i really wanted to punch Violet. I understand where she was coming from but i disliked the way she did so. I would have like to have seen Cole learning to ride a horse again and bonding with Billie, which i think was a big oversight in terms of the story. I think it could have been done and also the proposal and birth, which was only vaguely addressed in the epilogue, i would have loved to have seen them together and interacting with Vaughn and Billie as a couple.
Overall it was a solid book but i feel like it didn't quite hit it's potential for the story as a whole.
