BLURB➞
Life comes at you fast and love comes out of the blue…
A small-town romance about letting go of the past and learning to live in the moment.
Blue Baldwin takes no horse crap from anybody. Well, actually, that’s not entirely true. She does take horse crap. Piles of it. The real kind that is––not the metaphorical one. It kind of goes with the job description when you run a large animal rescue. What she does not take, however, is crap from an entitled movie star who needs to reform his rotten image.
Unfortunately, the farm she manages is in trouble and if she doesn’t raise the cash to save it she’ll be homeless along with the precious animals who depend on her. So she’ll grin and bear the King of Hollywood Screw Ups, and the assistant, and the overprotective brother he brings along. I mean, she takes care of large animals for a living. Isn’t that basically the same thing?
ARC REVIEW ➞
This book is a SLOW burn to the T and the characters have complicated pasts.
Blue works at an animal sanctuary and I absolutely love that and I loved her. You can feel her love and passion for the animals and the farm. When she finds out from her best friend, that a Hollywood superstar is coming to the farm to complete some community service she was less than thrilled.
Aidan is no stranger to getting into trouble which is how he landed at the sanctuary, but along with him comes his older and rather broody brother, Shane. The brothers have a history together, the have a history individually. Like Blue, they have complicated pasts and are working towards a better future.
I loved the secondary characters in this book, especially Mona. She was hilarious and I loved that she was a great mother figure to Blue. The secondary characters all played a strong part in this story, even the animals that Blue takes care of.
For a good portion of the beginning of this book I truly couldn’t figure out if it was Aidan or Shane Blue was going to end up with. She had a connection with both of them and I’d be convinced she would end up with one and a few pages later start to doubt that. Maybe this was just something I didn’t catch on personally, but it took a bit. This is told in a single POV from Blue’s perspective and there were times where I was wishing it was Dual POV just to add a little more insight into the overall story, especially towards the end.
If you’re looking for a small town, slow burn romance check this one out.
