Untamed: A Spicy Small Town Cowboy Romance

Rate this book
Brock Wilder rides like a man with a death wish. He's the worst possible cowboy for me to want, and the one my PR agency sent me to fix.

Filthy mouth. Filthier hands. A body hardened by years of climbing onto horses that want him off.

He doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. He cares a whole lot more about who's looking at me.

Nobody warned me I’d have to move onto his ranch. Or that his idea of professional would be telling me I couldn’t ride the mechanical bull—then offering me something else to ride instead.

One night was supposed to take the edge off. It only made it worse.

I already took the fall for someone else's mistake, and one more strike ends my career. Sleeping with this walking PR disaster was bad enough. Falling for him would destroy me.

Then I find out the truth. Every stunt that should've killed him is keeping his family's ranch alive.

He's not reckless. He's desperate.

I came to tame Brock Wilder.

I didn't expect him to ruin me instead.

5🌟, 3.5🌶️

This story completely stole my heart from page one, pulling me straight into a world of dusty rodeo arenas and small town charm.

Sienna is a brilliant, sharp talking city girl sent to wrangle a stubborn cowboy, but she quickly finds herself matching him stride for stride. Brock is the ultimate grumpy golden retriever wrapped in rugged denim, and his slow softening for her had me grinning nonstop. Their forced proximity dynamic sparks instant chemistry, fueled by witty banter and a fierce mutual loyalty that makes every single page addictive.

What makes this romance shine is how both characters are secretly carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders, learning through each other that it is okay to finally let someone else in. From high stakes moments at the rodeo to sizzling, unforgettable scenes in the hot springs, the emotional beats land with absolute precision. The warmth of the family dynamics and the effortless humor make the entire ranch setting feel like home, delivering that coveted no third act breakup perfection.

It is sweet, fiercely addictive, and brimming with the kind of cozy emotional depth that stays with you long after the final chapter. I am completely obsessed with this world, completely converted to the cowboy aesthetic, and counting down the seconds until the next sibling gets their happily ever after.

Grab your cowboy boots, clear your schedule, and dive into this absolute masterpiece immediately.

This was such a cute cowboy romance. This one felt different to me. More modern given Sienna's job i liked the content moments it felt like I was reading about a ranch family that I would see online. It's a nice take on this trope /genre. I liked the family dinners and the moments between Brock and Sienna . Their chemistry and banter were great. I liked how Sienna had her own relationship/bonding moments with each family member.I loved the whole family can't wait for the next book.

Thank you to the author for the ARC all opinions are my own.

First of all I would like to leave a huge shoutout to the author and say thank you for sharing an ARC with me!!

This book was fabulous! It was well written, it was spicy, it had cowboys, it had insane tricks on horses. The MMC, Brock is a family oriented guy, overly motivated to keep his family’s farm. His family? So delightful. I absolutely adored every one of them and I can’t wait to see them all fall in love throughout the Wild Sage Ranch series.

The FMC, Sienna was a fun character to follow, watching her adapt from Chicago to the middle of nowhere and have to transform from business attire to cowboy boots and tank tops. As a girl who enjoys both, I support this.

The siblings dynamics from both families felt so real. Sienna was paying her sister’s tuition and Brock was trading insults with his siblings with a grin. Both are perfectly normal amongst siblings and it was highly entertaining to read.

Watching Brock and Sienna find their dreams and each other was honestly a great experience. Unfortunately I felt like some of the issues they ran into were glossed over and some of them were ridiculous in my opinion. Sienna’s boss, who sent her from Chicago, also occasionally felt inconsistent in her character.

Overall, wonderful book and I look forward to reading the series!

Huge thanks to Julia Soren for this arc

A little slow a first, and I did feel like some of the scenes were a little choppy but the ending definitely redeemed itself.

I really liked Brock. His rough exterior and gentle heart really got me. He was fiercely loyal to a fault. He would do anything for anyone in his family without batting an eye.
Sienna was extremely herself. Never changed for anyone, never gave a fuck what anyone else thought.

Found family was done sooo well. Honestly got me emotional (like always 😂🥹)
I loved Colt and Maisie the most. 🫶🏻
The spice was spicyyy. That Ferris wheel scene? Mam 🥵

Just overall a quick read, with a really great HEA.

I received this book as an arc and am leaving a review at my own discretion

I absolutely loved this story! Untamed is spicy, fun, genuine, and wholesome. I loved both Sienna and Brock as characters, as well as Brock's family (Colt was such great comic relief through this whole book!). There were so many moments that I loved and each one was unique to the story and just built upon each other to some really pivotal moments.

The romance is fairly quick but i think in this case, I genuinely prefer it. Watching Sienna navigate her professional and personal lives in a juggle really created fun challenges in the relationship and as the story went on, you just want to see more and more of her and Brock together rather than subtlety chasing each other. The healthy relationship dynamics are always a win in my eyes and I loved seeing some emotionally intelligent men wanting to care for the people they love.

The epilogue left a fantastic open door that was foreshadowed earlier in the book and i'll 100% be looking for it when its available!

Perfect for a cowboy loving, spice adoring, fun read!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶🌶

Untamed, Book 1 in The Wild Sage Ranch series by Julia Soren is cozy, rugged, and absolutely loveable!

Sierra and Brock had me from page one. There is nothing better than a grumpy rodeo cowboy and an intelligent and driven city girl who takes none of his gruffness. I absolutely loved this story, two people worlds apart, each navigating their own heavy burdens, find unexpected connection and love within the chaos of life.

This small town Wyoming cowboy and his family absolutely stole my heart. Every supporting character in this book was amazing and I cannot wait to see what their stories bring to this series.

Did I mention the spice, absolute perfection and to be completely honest, I don't know how the spice can be so sweet and naughty at the same time, but YES!

Thank you Julia for gifting me this beautiful and loveable ARC!!

I loved this book; it was easy to read. I was bummed when it was over, I wanted more. I was fully invested in this family and as a series starter that is a very good thing.

A bronc rider and a PR specialist. He needs to clean up his act, and she is sent to help him. He is broody, loyal, and swoon worthy. Senna is trying to prove herself and Brock is her biggest challenge to date.

These two are interesting, they begin to balance each other. The moments are special, the spice is spicing, and the book was hard to put down.

Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

Thank you to Julia Soren for the ARC of this book!
Read with caution as there might be spoilers ahead.

A small town, forced proximity, spicy, PR agent x cowboy romance, with a little bit of a forbidden romance thrown in there…I am sat. Untamed is Book One in the Wild Sage Ranch series and follows Brock and Sienna in a dual POV story. Brock Wilder a cocky, bad boy bronc rider who is in desperate need of someone to help clean up his public image. Enter Sienna, a confident big city girl from Chicago who moves into the ranch house to help him…what could go wrong.

Right off the bat I loved how the story started, it was quick straight to the point and genuinely had me hooked after the first few chapters. I immediately fell in love with the Wilder family. Just from reading their interactions they have the best banter and a clear love and fondness for each other…oh and the family dog Moose!! I love him. I love when a book has a clear emphasis on a family unit, and this did just that. It also makes me super excited for future books as I feel like I truely know the Wilder family. From the first few chapters you can already tell Brock is curious about Sienna, interested by her and loves that she matches his energy and can genuinely banter with him…the chemistry is already there and their interactions are palpable.

However, I found that it lacked the yearning I am so obsessed with reading. I found the writing and the dialogue to be very easy to read which made for a super enjoyable reading experience, and whilst the rest of the book was paced really well, I feel like maybe their first spicy scene happened a bit too early. I would have appreciated a little more back and forth and yearning leading up to it…but that is just personal preference. The author defiantly delivered on the spice when it comes to this spicy small town romance.

Whilst I feel like I knew our MMC Brock really, I knew his family, his history and the reasons why he acts a certain way, I also maybe would have liked to have explored Sienna a bit more. Maybe a look into her life back in Chicago, I would have appreciated a greater insight into her family and friendship dynamics just to understand her as a person better. I feel like I didn’t know her, which made it difficult for me to connect with her as a reader.

I found the final 20% to actually be the most engaging. It had a little bit of everything…high stakes, someone from Sienna's past, a protective Brock and the supportive Wilder family. The epilogue sets up the next book perfectly and already has tropes that I know I am going to be obsessed with. I am excited to be back in this universe, and whilst this was not a five star read for me, I will definitely be continuing this series. I still recommend this to anyone looking for an entertaining, spicy, small town romance!

Rating: Loved It

🤠 City Girl PR Fixer x Rodeo Cowboy
🐂 Forced Proximity
🤠 He Falls First & Harder
🐂 Found Family
🤠 No Third-Act Breakup
🐂 Enemies to Lovers

I loved the way this story came together. It hits all the beats of a classic cowboy romance while still feeling fresh and uniquely its own. If this is our introduction to the Wilder family, consider me all in. Their banter, teasing, unwavering love, and the way they always show up for each other made me want to move to Wyoming immediately.

I was hooked from the very first chapter. Sienna and Brock are both stubborn to a fault, fiercely loyal, exceptional at what they do, and the kind of people who will run themselves into the ground for the people they love. Somewhere along the way, though, they both forgot how to live for themselves.

Sienna is tough as nails and never backs down from a challenge. Watching polished PR queen Sienna embrace ranch life without losing herself was so much fun. She earned Brock's respect one surprise at a time while quietly breaking down the walls around his heart. Seeing his grumpy exterior give way to the playful, teasing man underneath had me smiling the entire time.

And Brock? That man has weaponized the word "darlin'."

The constant back-and-forth between "darlin'" and "Starlin'," his dry humor, and all of his little quips had me grinning nonstop. But the real swoon came when he literally put himself on the line to protect Sienna at the rodeo. He then had to let her take care of him, and let's just say...that hot springs scene got about 30 degrees hotter.

I'm already counting down until Wyatt's book. I'm an absolute sucker for a single dad, and his little one completely stole my heart before the book was even over.

Huge thank you to @juliasoren for the ARC!

If you're looking for a cowboy romance with heart, humor, chemistry that crackles, and a family you'll desperately want to be adopted into, this one absolutely deserves a spot on your TBR. Bonus points for one of my favorite covers of the year.

Easily a 5-star read for me!
This was my first ARC and I’ve never been so excited!!

Coming off the high of another cowboy romance series, I was craving more and this scratched the brain perfectly.
Giving the family their own complex stories and setting up for (hopefully) more family story lines is exactly what I loved in this book. It was a mix of Elsie Silver’s Chestnut Springs Series and Lucy Score’s Blue Moon Series.
Also, ***might be a spoiler*** leaving off on the cliffhanger-ish note was so great to hopefully set up for the next book…. Now gimme gimme gimme the next book please 😇😇

Super cute read! I was blessed to receive an ARC of this before it released early. I read in 24 hours. The FMC, Sienna, is a publicist hired to do damage control for a professional bronc rider, Brock, after an altercation at a bar. The banter was entertaining and loved how the family accepted her right in. It ends on a HEA for our main characters but curious where the story will go from here for the siblings and our MCs.

Loved Sienna and Brock. She was feisty, he was hot. The two of them together were fire. Loved this story from the very beginning. But then how can you not love city girl and a cowboy? I was totally obsessed with this story. She was attached to this man the second she saw him. Hell, I would be too. Totally lived the whole ranch and boy did things get wild there. And it wasn’t the horses. So hot and naughty. Loved this a little too much.

Okay when I got this arc, I was so excited. Purely because I love a good cowboy romance. But I did not release how good this was going to be 😍 I didn’t want to finish it because I didn’t want it to end! If I could give this 10 stars I would!!

Brock, the cowboy who’s always getting into fights. Sienna, the PR agent sent to fix him. Nobody warned her that she would need to live on his ranch (or that they would secretly end up together). This steamy, secret lovers, he falls first, cowboy romance had me reading till all hours of the morning. Make sure you read this!!!

Out July 23rd!!

Advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.


Who gave this cowboy permission to walk into my life and raise my standards?!

As someone whose shelves are usually overflowing with dark romance, morally grey men, and walking red flags… I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from my very first cowboy romance.

Well… consider me converted.

This book completely stole my heart. It was sweet, funny, emotional, and ridiculously addictive. One minute I was smiling like an idiot, the next I was kicking my feet. I didn’t want to put it down, and by the time I finished, I wasn’t ready to leave these characters behind.

Sienna was everything I wanted in an FMC smart, confident, hilarious, and an absolute boss babe who never let anyone dull her sparkle. She had me laughing constantly, but she also had such a vulnerable side that made her impossible not to love.

And then there’s Brock…

Brock. Freaking. Wilder.

I don’t think Julia Soren understands what she’s done by creating this man. He’s the rugged, rough-around-the-edges cowboy who looks like he’d break your heart… but instead he’d spend every single day making sure yours never does. He’s fiercely protective, unbelievably kind, loyal and the ultimate golden retriever hiding behind that cowboy hat.

The way this man loves… excuse me while I go cry.

Every look, every touch, every quiet moment between him and Sienna had my heart melting. I wanted to climb into this book just to be wrapped up in one of Brock’s hugs, because you just know they’d fix every problem in your life.

The romance was absolutely beautiful.

And can we please talk about Colt?!
I adored him from the moment he appeared. Every scene with him made me smile, and I needed more of him!

This story left my heart so full. It reminded me why I love romance in the first place, and this is one of those stories I would love to see as a movie too.

If you’ve never picked up a cowboy romance before, let this be your sign. Trust me… those boots, that hat, and that golden retriever energy are dangerously attractive. 🤠

Tropes:
💜 Rodeo cowboy × city girl
💜 Enemies to lovers
💜 Forced proximity
💜 Small town romance
💜 Golden retriever cowboy
💜 Spice

There are some books that stay with you well past the end page, and I know without a doubt Untamed will be one of them for me.

Julia Soren created a masterpiece with the absolutely beautiful story. I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy and from the very first chapter I was hooked. Brock and Sienna drew me in from that very first, fraught interaction. The way they danced around each other, trying desperately to maintain professional boundaries was the perfect ramp up to when those boundaries finally got obliterated in the best way. My jaw dropped in that bar, and I knew I was in for the ride of my life (Sienna was too 😂)

I adored every character in this book. Sienna, the put together, determined PR agent, was such an easy character to connect with, especially her need to take care of her sister and her determination to see this job through. I loved that despite Brock being difficult, she pushed through and was able to see the softer side of him, and get him to agree to actually try new things. She was the perfect match for him and I loved seeing her unafraid to back down and willing to grow into the person she wanted to be.

Brock is everything I could ever want in a Cowboy MMC. Gruff, hardworking, dedicated to his family and ranch, and unafraid to take a swing when needed. I loved that we immediately saw his attraction to Sienna and how she slowly chipped away at his walls and he let her. He wasn’t just a rough Cowboy, he had layers and as each one was revealed I fell a little more in love with him. Definitely top tier book boyfriend material.

It wasn’t just the plot and the MCs that drew me in though. The side characters made this book a genuine joy to read. I adore the Wilder family and wish I could pick up and go to Wyoming to have a family dinner with them 🥹 They each had their own special place in the story and I absolutely cannot wait to read their stories when they eventually come out.

Thank you to the author for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Untamed was everything I want from a cowboy romance and more. It had the perfect balance of chemistry, humour, family dynamics and heart, and I absolutely devoured it.

Sienna is a PR specialist sent to Wild Sage Ranch to repair rodeo cowboy Brock’s reputation after a viral fight threatens one of his sponsorships. With one very important company rule, don’t sleep with the clients! She learns early on this assignment is going to test her professionalism. Brock is exactly what you’d expect on the surface: cocky, grumpy and stubborn. But underneath that rough exterior is an incredibly loyal, protective man who would do absolutely anything for the people he loves, especially Sienna.

One of my favourite parts of the book was Brock’s family. Their banter had me laughing throughout, and I loved how quickly they embraced Sienna, making her feel like part of the family.

I also loved the similarities between Brock and Sienna. Despite coming from completely different worlds, they’re both carrying the weight of trying to support their families, putting everyone else before themselves. Somewhere along the way, they’ve both lost the passion they once had for their careers, and watching them rediscover what truly mattered made their relationship feel even more meaningful.

And Brock? The protective cowboy had me absolutely swooning. His possessive moments, paired with lines like “You want to ride something so bad? I’ll give you something to ride,” had me grinning from ear to ear.

Julia Soren has done a fantastic job introducing the rest of the Wild Sage Ranch family, and I’m already desperate to read their stories. This was the perfect cowboy romance, and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

I cannot believe this is indie. I’ve read traditionally published books that aren’t this strong, this polished, or this easy to get completely lost in.

This is such a good cowboy romance, and the dynamics just work. Sienna gives as good as she gets, doesn’t take any of Brock’s nonsense, and watching her slowly earn his respect (and then so much more) was everything. 🤠

What really got me though is that at its core, this is a story about two people who are used to doing everything on their own learning that they don’t have to anymore. Sienna is carrying her family on her shoulders, Brock is running himself into the ground trying to hold everything together, and seeing them finally let someone else in… it was so soft and so earned.

And the individual moments throughout??? The rodeo scenes, the way he protects her without hesitation, the injury and her taking care of him, the hot springs (I wanted to climb into that water immediately), the state fair… it all felt so vivid and so easy to picture.

The family dynamics were absolutely on point (and I cannot wait for Wren’s book!). Brock’s siblings were so warm and welcoming, and each side character actually mattered. There’s so much love in the way they’re written, even in the conflict, and it made the whole story feel richer.

Also, the representation with his niece was handled with so much care and heart. You can tell this author genuinely loves her characters and wants the best for them, and it shows in every part of the story.

This pulled me in completely. Easy to read, full of heart, and just one of those books you don’t want to put down.

I loved this and will absolutely be reading whatever comes next 🤠✨💕

Thank you so much to Julia Soren for the ARC in exchange for an honest review 💕

ARC read!

This was a good, fun read. The sibling banter was so fun and realistic and maybe my favorite part. I adored Maisie and appreciated the disability rep there.

Brock is a cowboy and rides in rodeos, and Sienna was hired to clean up his image. Siennas boss was kind of weird to me, it seems unprofessional to send an employee to live with a client in his home. And I really wanted more of a resolution with her ex, but I guess this is more realistic where maybe nothing bad happens to him for what he did and they just both move on with their lives. Also, each little side character who shows up once are given a first and last name and you’re told a tidbit of who they are which makes you think they’re going to be important and they just never are lol. It got a little confusing.

Sienna and Brock fit so well together, she was good at pushing back against him when he was in his grumpy era, and I love how he softened for her. I liked that his nickname for her was a play on the nickname darlin’. I will say the moment that they first kiss kind of felt like it came out of nowhere, I think I needed a bit more buildup or lingering glances or touches or something.

Overall I did like it and I will read book 2! The epilogue gave a bit of a hint as to who it’s about 👀

Untamed was everything I want in a cowboy romance. It was steamy, emotional, and packed with the kind of chemistry that keeps you turning pages long after you should have gone to bed.
Brock Wilder is the ultimate grumpy cowboy. He's rough around the edges, says exactly what's on his mind, and has a reputation for making reckless decisions. But beneath all that swagger is a man carrying the weight of keeping his family's ranch alive, and watching those layers peel back made him impossible not to love.
The romance between Brock and the heroine was full of tension from the very beginning. The forced proximity, the banter, the sizzling attraction, and the emotional vulnerability all came together beautifully. Their relationship felt earned, and I loved seeing them challenge each other while slowly breaking down the walls they'd built.
I also appreciated that this story had real emotional stakes alongside the steam. Brock isn't just a reckless cowboy chasing adrenaline. He's doing whatever it takes to protect the people and place he loves, which made his character so much more compelling.
If you love cowboy romances with grumpy, protective heroes, forced proximity, small-town charm, and plenty of spice, Untamed is absolutely worth picking up. I can't wait to read more from this series.

4⭐️/3🌶️

My first by Julia Soren and this one was soo good!! A must for everyone who loves a grumpy cowboy/bronc rider and found family!!

What happens when you have a stubborn PR specialist (Sienna Starling) trying to clean up the image of one very stubborn bull rider (Brock Wilder)?! Fireworks and lots of spice!! Brock has tried to keep his distance from his gorgeous PR specialist, but when she tries to get on a mechanical bull he offers her something else to ride 🥵🥵

After that steamy night their romance goes at full speed!!

Sienna is great at her job! She’s able to get Brock even more sponsorships than expected in order to help save the ranch without him injuring himself more. But they have to hide their feelings around others so that Sienna doesn’t get fired for being involved with a client..

Will she return to Chicago? Or does Wyoming now have her heart?

The sibling bond in this book was everything and I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

Little Maisie had my heart!! She’s Brock’s niece who became blind at 2 and literally holds the family together. Can’t wait till her and her dad get a HEA

Tropes:
Forced proximity
Small town romance
Cowboy romance
He’s got a filthy mouth
She’s his PR specialist
He falls first and hard

I do love me a grumpy cowboy! Why are they always so delicious?!

Sienna is a city girl from Chicago being sent to be Brock’s PR ‘handler’ for a month in cowboy country in Wyoming. Fully expecting him to be difficult, she wasn’t surprised when he gave her the cold shoulder immediately. She was surprised by how gorgeous (and deep down a sweetheart) Brock is, and to fall in love with him, with the countryside.

A sassy FMC and gorgeous, broody, protective MMC. Plenty of angst at the start, and spice between these two when they give in.

What more could you want?

Loved all the characters, the peeling back of the layers for the MC’s, and the intro and development of the secondary characters. You’ll love them all.

The story moved quickly, but not too quick. I would have loved to know more about Sienna’s family.
I’m sure we will get more in the rest of the series.

Looking forward to more of Wild Sage Ranch.

This book had me from the start! Literally the cover and then the blurb and now the book itself, it was such a good read all the way to the end! I'm so glad I was able to get an ARC.

I loved the cozy family vibes, that's one of my favorite things in a book!
I loved how the family was close and how they all worked together to keep the ranch going and were there for each other every step of the way and that included Sienna.

Brock may have seemed grumpy at first but he was the sweetest, he showed Sienna just how much he cared for her before they were even a couple, officially anyways.

The way their relationship developed was just soooo good, a perfect combination of sweet and spicy and an added bonus is no third act breakup! It was just them caring for each other and fighting every step of the way.

I loved Colt and I definitely hope to read his story but I am excited for Wren's story.

This was my first read by Julia and it was such a beautiful read, I loved it from start to finish and I'm so excited for the next book because I already know it's going to be so good! 😁

****ARC READER REVIEW****

I absolutely adored this story! Untamed is spicy, fun, heartfelt, and full of genuine charm. Sienna and Brock were such lovable characters, and Brock’s family added so much warmth. Colt especially had me laughing throughout the book. Every moment felt unique and meaningful, building toward some truly standout scenes.

The romance moves quickly, but it works perfectly here. Watching Sienna juggle her professional and personal worlds added great tension and made their relationship even more engaging. As the story progressed, I found myself wanting more and more of her and Brock together instead of watching them dance around their feelings. The healthy, emotionally intelligent dynamics were such a refreshing highlight.

The epilogue opened a fantastic door that was teased earlier, and I’ll be eagerly waiting for what comes next.

A perfect pick for anyone who loves cowboys, spice, and a fun, feel‑good read.

Ahem... I would like to cover a few points:

1. The cover = STUNNING. It had my attention before I'd even read the first page.
2. Brock = DELICIOUS cowboy goodness. That man... honestly. His mouth and the things that came out of it? Say less. I was eating it up.
3. I didn't just read this book...I inhaled it. I absolutely flew through it because I could not put it down.

This book was so well written and just so much fun to read. The spice was spec-TACULAR.
Loved it. Loved them.

I also absolutely adored the Wilder family and I already cannot wait to see what's next for them.

As a cowboy romance connoisseur, this was exactly what I was hoping for! Read it! :)

Thank you to the author for sending me an early copy. All opinions are my own.

Can I just start by saying that I loved this book. Julia Soren has captured me heart with the first book of the series. I am invested in this family fully already.

Brock is a man that carries too much on his shoulders. He is determined and loyal like no other. Sienna is a hard worker and trying her best to prove herself. But when she gets to the ranch and comes face to face with her biggest challenge, the story starts to get interesting. I liked both of these characters together and loved them as individuals.
I felt like they balance one another out and shouldered some of the burdens that they had.

They way these two fell in love. And was there to support each other is one of the best parts of the story.

I am looking forward to what comes next in this series...

First time reading ARC. I read a lot of books so I thought let me sign up and see. This is book 128 for the year. Let’s just say this book has it all, strong chemistry, confident and gritty FMC (Sienna) and a hot and sexy MMC cowboy (Brock). Hard to go wrong with so much attraction.

Both characters have a strong love for family and values. The chemistry between them build more as they continue to work together and eventually it overrides their need to keep it just professional.

This is definitely a well written, HEA book with just enough spice and steam for the storyline. You won’t regret reading it. The book is a very easy read. If not for work obligations, I would have finished it in about 4 hours.

I had such a great time with this book! I am very new to cowboy romance, but this felt like such a great introduction.

I really appreciated how mature the love interests were and communicated well with each other. I believe that you can still have tension and character growth without a 3rd act breakup/misunderstanding and I think Sienna and Brock were a great example of that.

It’s also a wonderful set-up for a series of romances surrounded the Wilder siblings (couldn’t even get a flash forward so Maisie can have one??). OH, and more Moose, will always be appreciated!

A great summer read! AND I’ve already ordered a print copy for my trophy shelf 😁

Thank you so much to the author for an advanced copy of the book.

This ARC was everything!! 🤠

Cowboy romance has my heart, and so does this book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I genuinely didn't want it to end.

First of all, a grumpy, naughty cowboy who loves his family? Yes, please. 🤠
Secondly, a hardworking PR agent who would do anything for the people she loves? Yes, yes, and yes.

What started as a PR job to help repair a cowboy's public image slowly turned into something so much more. Watching them become each other's biggest support and fall in love was so beautiful. 😍

Such a perfect read. I loved every minute of it!
