I’ll admit, I made more than my fair share of stupid decisions, but all it took was an accidental felony and a teensy kitchen fire to turn my life upside down.
When my parents cut me off, selling my swanky Los Angeles apartment and shipping me off to some ranch in the middle of nowhere to teach me a lesson, I thought it was the worst thing that could happen to me.
Then I got to Safe Haven Ranch and met my new boss.
Zach Paulson is an older, grumpy cowboy who thinks I’m nothing more than a spoiled princess and doesn’t want me on his turf. He also happens to be drop-dead gorgeous, and can wear a faded pair of Wranglers better than any other man alive.
The dumbest thing I can do is fall into lust with the temperamental rancher. Unfortunately, I’m not exactly known for making good choices.
But I’m determined to do better this time. I want to prove to myself and everyone else that I’m more than the shallow, self-absorbed socialite I’ve been playing at for years. I have a plan. Keep my head down, do my work, and don’t make any mistakes.
The problem is, I’m not the only one with a crush, and all my defenses are useless against a man like Zach when he puts his mind to getting what he wants.
Buy The Little Things
Small town romances are the beat of my heart — and this book is a perfect example of why! Not only do we get an amazing cast of characters, but we often get the next generation, too! Starting with Zach, I couldn’t wait to dive in and see where the new gen takes us.
Rae is a bit of a princess and needs a reality check. Even after a night in jail, her parents think she needs more. She’s a city girl and sending her to a ranch seems a bit like a mistake. But even as a fish out of water, we get to see Rae begin growing into who she is truly meant to be. I thought of her as a flower – each petal falling open to ultimately reveal what she’s been hiding with her behavior. Absolutely one of the best character developments and growth I’ve read this year!
Zach is grumpy and represents everything small town ranch cowboy. He has deep roots and since he’s older, a bit more set in his ways. I enjoyed how it takes that wild little city girl for him to see that he needs to deal with his past to move forward. Seeing her break through his tough skin is the gem of this book! Enemies to lovers is a favorite and these two encompass the beautiful love story that comes from that kind of beginning.
And just when you think it can’t be any better — THAT EPILOGUE!!!
