I am a cowboy romance girlie and if you hadn't guessed from the name, this book is a bit of a British/American crossover, something that I hadn't read before.

Aurora "Rory" Jones is a wellness and positivity influencer from England. She recently discovered that her long-term boyfriend Jake cheated on her after the death of her Aunt Grace. Reeling from the death of a family member, it hits harder because as a positivity influencer she has helped others in their relationships and now infidelity has happened in hers.

Her Aunt Grace owned a ranch in Colorado and left it to Rory. She thinks she's been communicating with Mr Hensley, the elderly head rancher at Sunset Ranch but discovers when she gets there that it is Mr Hensley...but the elderly man's grandson Wyatt who took over four years ago.

I wouldn't class this as enemies to lovers, more mild dislike, as neither of the two gel with each other at the start. Wyatt is worried about his future at the ranch as he loves his job he also thinks Rory's job is a bit strange. Rory discovers that being at the ranch in Colorado has helped with getting over her break up and she comes up with a plan that will keep them both happy.

I won't get too into the plot but it is very cute. The backstories of the two characters are wonderfully done and yes, Wyatt is a great book boyfriend. We have a little spice in there too and a slight bit of miscommunication which I don't love but it didn't break my heart too much.
