‘A sweet slow burn . . . sunshine in written form’ – Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author
For the first time in her life, Clementine ‘Emmy’ Ryder has no idea what she’s doing. She’s accomplished everything on her to-do list. She left her small hometown of Meadowlark, Wyoming, went to college, and made a career for herself by doing her favorite thing: riding horses. But after an accident makes it impossible for her to get back into the saddle, she has no choice but to return to the hometown she always wanted to escape.
Luke Brooks is Meadowlark’s most notorious bad boy, bar owner, and bachelor. He’s also the unofficial fifth member of the Ryder family. As Emmy’s older brother’s best friend, Luke spent most of his childhood antagonizing her. It’s been years since he’s seen her, but when she walks into his bar and back into his life, he can’t take his eyes off her. Against his better judgment, he wants to do a whole lot more than just look at her.
As things between Emmy and Brooks heat up, it gets more difficult for him to keep his hands off of her. Can he help her get her spark back? Or will they both go up in flames?

Review by Lou
A debut to be proud of! This small-town brother’s best friend cowboy romance was so cute and such a wonderful introduction to country love stories! Emmy has ADHD which is represented wonderfully throughout the book. Best friend Teddy, and love interest Luke are both so effortlessly supportive and validating surrounding Emmy’s neurodivergent tendencies and it was so lovely to see. I loved the lack of miscommunication between Emmy and Luke, it’s such a common trope in romance nowadays and it was so nice to see them being open and honest every step of the way. I cannot wait to read the sequel, Swift and Saddled. Wes seemed like such a sweetheart and I’m so excited to learn more about his character and read his story.
