“I’m a lot stronger than you think.” “Oh, Zee, I know that.” His gaze is soft as it settles on me. “Doesn’t mean that I can’t support you. Isn’t that what partners are supposed to do?”

So, I didn't dislike the book and the writing style was good but the story was so stretched. I usually enjoy slow burn romances but this one was super slow. Colt & Zee had chemistry but it fizzled out after they got married tbh. I could only feel the connection between them after some 70% or so. They literally avoided each other and it just got so boring because no one was making the first move. Also, all the characters names starting with C got so confusing that it was a headache for me to figure out who was who. I had some huge expectations from this book considering it was basically a second chance romance and I expected Colt to grovel but I was disappointed. Zee was also very confused. One second she said that she's a stranger to Colt and immediately in the next chapter said that they're not exactly strangers. I just couldn't figure out her pov clearly. All the mystery regarding the fire at the ranch was also very predictable and the ending was so watered down. I think the plot had huge potential but the execution was weak. I would've loved the book if the romance was more well developed.
