I love this series so, of course, I love this new addition. The chemistry between Jillian and Ethan was off the charts. I really liked that they became friends with benefits so quickly because I knew this would help Jillian. She is so reluctant but there's no denying that she's just as drawn to Ethan, as he is to her.
I loved seeing characters from past books.
And I can't wait for the next book in the series!

Single mother Jillian came to Creedence, Colorado looking for a better environment for her son. She's the new head librarian, who divides her time between her son, her job, and volunteering at the horse rescue ranch. So romance is the furthest thing from her mind but finds herself flirting with deputy Ethan when he's around.

After coming to her rescue, he blurts out a proposal. Ethan is not this impulsive but something about Jillian that calls to him. And soon he's building bonds with both Jillian and her son Milo.

But Jillian's past does make her hesitate. He's running to be the new sheriff of Creedence and she's afraid of her past being used to hurt his campaign. She tries to end things but Ethan isn't ready to give up.

Thanks so much to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC to review.
