I adored Mia and Josh together, the small-town setting, and the writing style. I loved this so much that I grabbed Josh’s sister’s book before I even wrote this review.

Mia has a PhD in mathematics (she works on knot theory 🤭 which, tragically, has nothing to do with werewolves 🤔) and a solid career plan. A teaching job at a small Texas university is supposed to be temporary, until she realizes that her new friends, the job, and, most of all, goat farmer Josh, feel suspiciously right.

Mia and Josh were so sweet together! This book was not spicy (mostly ftb), but their chemistry was off the charts. I almost squealed when he casually touched her hand 🥰. There was a lot of domestic fluff, which I always adore, and very wholesome family dynamics.

What didn’t work for me was the third-act breakup, even though I saw it coming. Still, I hated it because I always hate third-act drama. They had a great thing going, and she dumped him! 🤬 Pfff. Nothing says “you’re the love of my life” like “I don’t think we should see each other again” 🙄. But oh well, it is what it is.

All in all: 4.5 stars, still not sure if I should round it up or down.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I seem to have gotten into a pattern of reading the last in the series before the others, and I did enjoy my time with this. I’ve sort of sat on this review for a day trying to figure out my feelings and words and it’s not really hit in anyway.

It’s enjoyable enough - cowboy farm owner x nerdy maths lecturer is cute and the tropes are all there. It’s relatively fast paced and linear, we get to the admittedly quite well written smut about 30% of the way through.

It’s a nice little brain off escape sort of romance novel. I enjoyed it well enough.

I did find myself frustrated with the characters in places which is why it didn’t quite hit 5 stars for me.

4.5 ⭐️

Susannah Nix has done it again; this book hit all the right notes for me.
I loved Mia as a heroine: brilliant, determined, a little rigid at first, but with so much heart underneath. Watching her get thrown off her carefully plotted life path and slowly open herself up to new possibilities was both relatable and so satisfying.
Josh was the perfect counterbalance—gruff, grounded, and unexpectedly sweet. Their opposites-attract dynamic had me hooked from the start, and I loved the banter and chemistry between them. The small-town setting (which is one of my favourite trope EVER) was the cherry on top for me, and it gave the story such a cozy feel.

A smart, funny, and heartfelt STEM rom-com; I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys strong heroines, cinnamon-roll heroes, and a story about finding love where you least expect it.
