Alyssa is excited to be joining the Kipling family on their Colorado ranch for her veterinary internship. Her first interaction with a Kipling, however, doesn’t go to plan when Beau doesn’t realise who she is, mistaking her for someone else and giving her a less than warm welcome. Alyssa is less than impressed, hoping she’ll be able to avoid him where possible, only to learn that he is the ranch’s vet and her new boss. When the air is eventually cleared, the two begin to work together perfectly, and the sparks between them slowly start to ignite. But Beau’s hung up on their seven year age gap and the fact that, once her semester is over, she’s heading back home across the country and he’ll probably never see her again. No matter how conflicted his head and heart are, he just can’t seem to stay away. Entering my yeehaw era because apparently I just bloody love a good cowboy romance! I had no idea what to expect going into this book as I’ve not read anything by Shirley before, be I just could not get enough! I literally read most of the book in the night, not going to be until 3am. Because who needs a full eight-hours sleep when they have to be up early. Not me, that’s for sure! Beau and Alyssa’s relationship was super cute and fun. They had instant chemistry and the best banter. And the dash of spice was really the cherry on top! In fact, the banter and relationship between all the characters is so good and really pulls you into their lives. Does Rockin’ K Ranch exist IRL, because I want be part of this family! Shirley’s writing style was really enjoyable and so easily sucks you into Beau and Alyssa’s relationship and the lives of the whole Kipling family. And not only that, but she so easily transports you to Colorado and life on the ranch - I’ve never been on a ranch or to Colorado, but I felt like I was there as I devoured this book! After being introduced to all six siblings, I can’t wait to follow the rest of their stories over the course of the series. They’re all really fun and interesting characters, even though we didn’t necessarily get to see a lot of them in this first book. And I definitely want to explore more of Shirley’s books, since they’re all kind of interconnected - give me ALL the cowboys and ALL the ranch and small-town drama! Get ready to book a one-way ticket to Colorado to find a cowboy to call your own! If you’re new to the world of western and cowboy romances, this is definitely the place to start. |
