Lucky River Ranch #2

Kindle Unlimited E-book

Author: Jessica Peterson

Wyatt Rivers is your no strings attached good time of a hunky cowboy who rocks wranglers and a Stetson like no other. He just won’t rest his head on the same pillow twice. You may think he doesn’t care. On the contrary, he cares way too much. He doesn’t know if he’ll recover if someone important left him again. And there is this little fact that no one has ever come close to perfection as his best friend since the second grade, Sally.

Sally’s back in town for a few months before she leaves for her prestigious job as a veterinary surgeon in Ithaca, NY and she’s restless. Does she really want to leave her hometown in Texas for good? Also, while she’s home, she’s dead set on ending a dry spell, preferably with a hot cowboy. All her most secret dreams would come true if this cowboy ended up being her pal Wyatt. 

They are friend and friends help each other, right?

Yeehaw and giddy up! 

I think one of the hardest tropes to get right is the friends to lovers one because you are always asking yourself why on earth aren’t they together already, but Jessica makes this absolutely believable and you are invested in these two from page 1!

Wyatt is a walking green flag cleverly disguised as a Casanova. You can tell by the way he is with his family and how he will literally do anything for Sally that he is a good egg. 

Sally is not only going through a dry spell but also a crisis in self-confidence. Her past relationships left her questioning her “dating skills”, so to speak, in all areas. Who better to teach her how to have a good time than the town’s heartbreaker and the only person she is comfortable with?

If you love a mutual “it’s always been you”, boy obsessed, hot cowboy, childhood best friends story, you will fall hard for Sally and Wyatt. 

(Quick note: her dad had a moment straight out of the eighteenth century that I confess had me laughing more than being concerned). 

I love the whole gang at the Lucky River Ranch and I can’t wait for the next one.
