I love Copeland Murphy. I mean, I love Xander, too, but Cope... he is so kind, thoughtful, generous, up front with his emotions, and goofy. Xander is his perfect compliment. He's confident, kind, and careful. I love the moments when they're just goofing around. I also really enjoyed the fact that Cope wasn't immediately in love in Xan, but instead we got to see it build and turn into attraction. The way he handled discovering he was attracted to a man was wonderful as well. I also loved watching Xan fall in love with Copper Lake and the animals. This was a sweet, low angst, love story with great side characters, fun rodeo aspects, and two opposites falling in love. It was precious.

Notes: 2/5 spice levels, opposites attract, small town, city boy/cowboy, demi rep, sexual awakening, low angst, great animals (Aggie the cow)
