As I mentioned earlier, this is a slow-burn romance, but the story is a quick read that I finished in an afternoon. The ones that are included are developed and the whole story is engaging and entertaining. There is a reason for that, but I don't want to give any spoilers. cowboys, right? There aren't a lot of secondary characters in this quick read, at least not a lot that we need to get to know. Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite romance tropes, and well. These two have good chemistry whether they admit it or not, and you can't help but want them to work out even when they're busy pushing against each other. Sydney is determined to paint Brax as the bad guy no matter what he does, and he's just the right mix of grumpy and lovable. Sydney doesn't like anything about what Brax represents, but her reaction to him suggests something else. Sydney and her love for Twin Springs Ranch isn't a part of that plan. Brax wants nothing more than to get rid of his father's ranch and get back to his neatly ordered life. And that sums up the slow-burn romance between Brax and Sydney.

And sometimes we get what we didn't know we needed. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I’m looking forward to more books in the series. Braxton and Sydney clash several times because she has a tendency to assume and has cast Braxton as the bad guy. Sydney is working on the ranch and is passionate about the ranch but also very hot headed, she yells first and asks questions later when she’s angry. Braxton has been gone for years and is only home because the ranch is failing and needs to talk to his brother about it. There’s a bit of will they/won’t they going on.

Sydney and Braxton's story is a bit of a slow burn. I’m not sure if the author is planning on addressing their relationship in future books. It doesn’t feel like a cliff hanger but I definitely feel like I want more. To me this book feels like a happy for now instead a happy ever after. For those who are interested, there is some mild cussing. This book is a clean (no graphic bedroom scenes) romance. This is the first book in the Harris Twins Ranch series.
