Love the writing style and the way the characters are developed

It's NYE and Avery is riding a bull in a quest to win some much needed funds to buy her dream house, so when her attention is caught by Carter she is angry at first that this meant she fell off much sooner than she should have, with her lead at risk, Carter must now put it right which he does in spades. AS they kiss at midnight neither think they will see the other again..fast forward to ST Dollys hospital and they realise they are to be work colleagues.
I liked how the story played out and how they supported each other in overcoming the things that were holding them back, they felt right together which made this an easy read to enjoy

“So long, Carter Booth. May your ride into the sunset be as beautiful as your behind.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Avery was letting loose on a rodeo bull trying to win the cash prize when she met Carter’s eye and tumbled off. They hit it off and started New Years with a kiss full of sparks. She walked away without leaving her number, thinking she’d never see him again she was shocked to see him the following day as her new colleague! Enter juicy rom-com.

I really liked this book. It was short and sweet, so I was able to read it in just one day. The characters were well thought out and the tragic backgrounds on both sides was an added bonus, they were relatable, and easy to like !

This was a really, easy romance story that I flew through, but I just have this niggling feeling that something was missing. Maybe there wasn’t enough resistance throughout, maybe not enough drama. I can’t put my finger on it, however I just loved that it was a lightweight, easy read.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Mills and Boon in return for an honest review.

This is a beautifully written book with characters who really come to life. Carter and Avery are instantly attracted to one another and decide to embark on a brief, no strings fling. Both of them have deep wounds to deal with. Carter.is sister is I’ll and off the rails and he feels he has to put her first in everything. Avery lost her sister to cancer and is still grieving.

Of course their relationship develops and they fall in love but Carter still feels unable to let go of his self imposed responsibility to his sister. He and Avery break up but thankfully his sister has seen the light, realises how self destructive she has been and tells Carter to get back to Avery.

I loved the first two thirds of the book but was less happy with the last third. Carter’s reasoning seems totally illogical to me and I agreed with Avery when she told him he could have a life too. That he didn’t have to give up on love for himself.

I loved the way this author developed their relationship even whilst I struggled with the hero’s motivation.

A really good romance with two people dealing with their past love and loss. Carter is looking out for his incarcerated sister and Avery misses her dead sister and the life they’d planned. Some really tricky topics of pain and loss and dealing with the aftermath of the emotions are dealt with well and sensitively. The hospital scenes are great for the plot line and give just enough info to move us along and not to bamboozle.

This book started with a captivating bang and got even better as it went along. The characters were well written and believable and also very likeable. I really enjoyed this book and the way the story was built up towards the ending. I will read this author's stories again. I was given access to an advanced copy for an honest review.

I felt wonderfully invested in this from the first few pages. Love the couples meet cute and it develops from there and maintained my interest throughout. Love the Cinderella reference. This doesn't shy away from real issues too making the characters seem even more real and relatable.
Great fun, imaginative.
