Roped In

ARC Disclosure: I received an advance reader copy of this book through Pen Pinery. This is my honest review and reflects my own thoughts and opinions about the book.

I honestly don’t even know where to start because I loved this story so much. 🥹❤️

Frankie and Cole’s story was such a beautiful, emotional, small-town romance. What started with a new neighbor, a grumpy first impression, and a hat that somehow kept finding its way between them turned into something so much deeper than I expected.

I really loved Frankie as a character. She’s trying to figure out what she wants from her life while also dealing with things that aren’t always easy to explain to the people around her. Cole has his own past and his own things he carries with him, and watching these two slowly open up to each other was one of my favorite parts of the book. They both had their own struggles, but somehow they became a safe place for each other.

I loved all the little things throughout the story–the farm, the chickens, the kittens, the festival, the family dinners, and even the moments that had me laughing when I wasn't expecting to. 🥹 There were also moments that genuinely made me cry. The way the story handled Frankie’s health struggles and the feeling of not always being heard really hit me.

There were definitely a few spelling errors throughout the book, but they were easy to overlook and didn't take away from the story for me.

This was such a beautiful ranch-style, small-town romance about finding your way, letting go of what you thought your life was supposed to be, and realizing that sometimes home isn't necessarily a place. It can be a person and the life you build together.

I fell in love with these characters and the way their relationship developed. I laughed, I cried, I got frustrated right along with them, and by the end, I was so happy to see where their journey took them.

I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to read this ARC and be part of bringing this story to readers. ❤️ I absolutely cannot wait to read Lyla and Mal's story next!

And one of my favorite quotes from the beginning of the book: "To those dealing with chronic illness, you are seen and you are heard. Never stop fighting."

That one really stayed with me. ❤️

Thank you for letting me be part of this ARC!
