Summary:
Tension quickly turns to temptation in Bluebell, Montana, between a single dad and his nanny in this steamy age-gap, brother's best friend, small town cowboy romance by Ann Einerson.

One minute I’m living a peaceful life at Silver Saddle Ranch and the next, Jensen, my brother’s best friend, returns to town for the summer with his five-year-old son and moves into my guest rooms. Not only are we sharing space, but I’ve agreed to be Caleb’s nanny.

The problem? Jensen’s little boy quickly wins my heart, and his dad isn’t far behind with his big-city charm.

Between a steamy Ferris wheel ride and romantic late-night chats on the porch swing overlooking the Montana skyline, my heart quickly becomes his.

I want to be the place where Jensen lays his hat, but I’m not sure he’s looking to trade his custom Italian suit for dirty cowboy boots.

What happens when the summer’s over, and our time is up…

Review:

First, I'd like to thank Ann & her team for sending me an ARC of Wrangled Love. I think this is currently my favorite book by Ann to date! She has such a knack for writing these addictive characters and small towns, you just want to live in them and be part of the world!

Right from the beginning, I was HOOKED! finding out that Jensen is now a father after all these years not even knowing he had a child is definitely a way to get the story going! The way Ann was able to delicately write this story really pulled at the heartstrings, and makes you feel so much for this little boy who lost his mom, and is now meeting his father for the first time. It's hard to imagine what he's going through, but it was done so well!

As always, I'm of course in love with the small town of Bluebell, as well as all the side characters we've met and fallen in love with. It's hard not to love them and want to know everything that goes on! I definitely want more from this series! The way that the Halsteads took in everyone when they were younger and treated them as their own child really speaks volumes!

While Caleb is going through his own grief,  you can see him start to come out of his shell more, the more time he spends with his father, Briar and the Halsteads. Clearly Bluebell is the right place for this little guy to grow, but for now there's a time limit and you know it shouldn't end!

And let's just take a moment for Jensen. Right from the beginning, he's always been kind towards Briar, and clearly his feelings get stronger the longer they're around one another, but also the little things he does for her - even with her being a strong independent woman who refuses help most of the time - it's super sweet to see what he's willing to do not only for her but for his son. And one moment (among many let's be honest) really got in the feels.

"Tomorrow, we can go back to pretending there's nothing between us, but if I don't take this chance, I'll always wonder what could've been, and I refuse to live with regret."

There's one part that I really loved towards the end that just ties everything up. It honestly was a tear jerker moment but was so needed to find closure for everyone. I think it was done perfectly and then everything else after that was just the sweetest ending to this story!

Overall, I loved this story from Ann Einerson! It was sweet, swoony, hilarious moments and a lot of emotional growth for everyone. I think it's safe to say my new favorite place is here with these characters! I devoured this story, and didn't want to put it down!

That's all for my review, I hope you enjoyed it and be sure to grab your copy today!

So until the next time, keep reading!

Your Graduated Bookworm!! :)
