She’s off-limits, but he’s never been good at following the rules. For the first time in her life, Clementine “Emmy” Ryder has no idea what she’s doing. She’s accomplished everything on her to-do list. She left her small hometown of Meadowlark, Wyoming; went to college; and made a career for herself by doing her favorite thing: riding horses. But after an accident makes it impossible for her to get back into the saddle, she has no choice but to return to the hometown she always wanted to escape. Luke Brooks is Meadowlark’s most notorious bad boy, bar owner, and bachelor. He’s also the unofficial fifth member of the Ryder family. As Emmy’s older brother’s best friend, Luke spent most of his childhood antagonizing her. It’s been years since he’s seen her, but when she walks into his bar and back into his life, he can’t take his eyes off her. Despite his better judgment, he wants to do a whole lot more than just look at her. Emmy’s got too much on her mind to think about romance. And Luke knows he should stay away from his best friend’s younger sister. But what if Luke is just what Emmy needs to get her spark back? Or will they both go up in flames?

Honestly I didn't really enjoy this book, but I'd be willing to give this series a second chance if I knew the rest of the books were better, would love to know your opinion if you've already read the rest of the series!
I'm 6 pages into Luk's 1st pov and he hasn't stopped talking about Emmy.... He literally says her name every two paragraphs. Like I knew this was gonna be insta-love, but already? He sees her and immediately imagines her in his bed, be so for real
I wasn't planning on reading this series, but this author is coming to a book fair near me and I wanted to see what the books are like to maybe get them signed by her. I'm not expecting this to be anything special, but rn I'm just craving an easy and smutty read and hopefully this will do the trick
