i LOVED this! i could probably find something about this book i didn’t like, but why would i? this book was everything i wanted and more. it was something every southern girl needs to read.

i grew up around horses and i went through a “studying” them phase where i knew everything about them, the accuracy was unmatched. every other “cowboy” book ive ever read either skirts around the facts and descriptions or get them all wrong, but this one was so factually accurate i was squealing when i read something like that.

and OMG the bull riding povs, i was hooked from the first one! i felt like i was really on the bull with Knox and it felt like i was there riding with him. seriously the writing style was 👩‍🍳💋 i was devouring it.

let’s not even get started on the emotional rollercoaster the last 20% took me on 🫩, you’ll have to read that one yourselves 😅

Holy smokes. Where do I even begin?? I LOVED every second of this book. The writing was so amazing that I found it hard to put down! I truly didn’t want Knox and Kacey’s story to end. I love that the authors wrote about what they know, because I truly feel like I learned so much about ranching and rodeos. I read so many things that I haven’t before in other cowboy romance books. It made it feel like I was right there in all the action. The way all r he characters were written made it so easy to fall in love with them.

Kacey isn’t very trusting of Knox at first (same girl same), but he stays patient with her. He’s got a “no-girlfriend” rule that he quite literally throws out the window when he meets her. I highlighted so many things Knox said to Kacey in those first several chapters because I literally could not stop squealing. I also screamed when I realized Trey and Jessie’s book is next.

In case I haven’t convinced you to read this book yet… Knox is a hot bull rider with a dirty mouth. What more could you ask for?

I could not put this down.
It has been a minute since I've finished a novel, that wasn't a short story, in just two days. At first the beginning of the novel gave me a little bit (just a tiny bit) of a struggle but after a I kept going, I was hooked and couldn't put down the book. Even when I was laying down for bed.

In this novel, I like that things in the PBR world are explained that may need a little bit of an explanation, and you aren't questioning what does this mean. Or have to look it up to understand what the authors are trying to say. The relationship that Kacey and Knox have is a nice healthy relationship. I liked that he was not pushy/forcing Kacey to do things she either wasn't ready to do or make her do something she probably didn't want to do.

Knox really is a chivalrous man. I knew that from the first time he took Kacey home. 🤭

The minor characters in this novel, Gran especially, were hilarious. I feel like you can see hints towards who the next books will be as you read just by how they interact with the other characters.

I’m new to reviewing books but im not new to what a good book is and this one is fantastic!! 5 stars for India and Trevor! I picked this book up and couldn’t put it down til I finished it. It pulls you and takes you on the wild ride of Kacey and Knox and I can’t wait to read more from them! They stayed true to the facts with ranching and rodeo lifestyle which is such a refreshing change of pace in a cowboy romance! I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to get lost in their hot cowboy dreams!

This was a strong start to the Diamond Hart Ranch series, it had that romance element that I was looking for and was engaged with what was happening. I enjoyed this as a opening chapter. The characters had that overall feel that I was wanting and enjoyed the concept. India Reiste & Trevor Reistewrote this well and was engaged from the first page.

I thoroughly enjoyed this rodeo romance! It’s refreshing to read a cowboy romance that’s so true to the lifestyle and sport. Their passion for the western culture shines through in this debut novel and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do next.

So I love a good cowboy romance and this one had me wishing for a couple hundred more pages. I really enjoyed this ARC and cannot wait to read the next book! Thanks you NetGalley for this ARC!

I wrote it so I do enjoy it haha but NetGalley told me to do this as a test so I did and now I want it off my personal NetGalley list to review haha

Its giving bull rider x guarded heart
If you're a fan of cowboys and small town second chance romance then this one is definitely for you!
It's a beautiful and heartbreaking short story between Kacey and Knox set over the summer months. I would have liked it to be a bit longer to get more of the story but overall enjoyed this 1st book of the series. Love the front cover graphics too!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
