    This one was definitely interesting. I think I wasn't in the right mood for it and I want to give it a better chance some time when I'm in the mood for something this dark. I enjoyed it a lot more than the other book I read by this author.

    Cash (Lucky River Ranch, #1)

    Cash (Lucky River Ranch, #1)

    Jessica Peterson

    Butting heads leads to knocking boots in this wildly sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small town cowboy romance by Jessica Peterson. My dad and I have been estranged for years. But as his only living relative, it’s no surprise I inherit his massive cattle ranch when he dies. Something that is a surprise? The stipulation in his will, which requires me to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before I can access my inheritance money. I haven’t stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since my parents split when I was six. Now a city girl through and through, I never imagined having to move back to cowboy country. But I need the money to invest in my company, and a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. There’s just one giant roadblock to my plan: the ranch’s foreman, grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. I don’t care how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps. He’s rude, he’s growly, and he wants me gone. I’d fire him in a heartbeat, but I need this cowboy to teach me the ropes of running a ranch. We’re enemies from the get-go. But turns out, Cash is really good at this ranch thing. He’s got strong hands, an intelligent mind, and let’s just say everything really is bigger in Texas. Working alongside him leads to conversations beneath the stars. Throw in some cheek-to-cheek dancing at the local dive bar, and it all feels so right that I start to fall in love with life on the ranch. And maybe with him, too. But my stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: they may break horses, but they also break hearts. If only Cash hadn’t already lassoed mine… CASH is the first standalone book in the brand new steamy, interconnected Lucky River Ranch Series.

    This book is so beautiful and relatable if you've had children. I hope for those who haven't and give it a chance they get a little glimpse into different birth experiences and emotions related to the experiences.

    "The badass in me/salutes the badass in you." I hope she told the parents this because it's amazing.

    If you’re still singing about a magic Journey we know you’re not close.

    Hah! A very funny one for any mom who has gone through natural childbirth!

    Some of these raise questions for me and I love that. This midwife shared enough to show the struggles but not enough that the people most impacted would feel too much had been shared.

    I'm curious if Harlow's birth ended in a C-Section and can imagine the struggle that was if the parents had been hoping for a vaginal birth.

    Just reading the introduction to this book feels so authentic and like I know it's going to touch a lot of feelings for me. As a birthing parent, I love hearing other people's birth stories and sharing my own so getting to read such succinct outside views of other people's births from a provider who clearly cares deeply feels special already.

    I also find the commentary and explanation of how she handles Haiku rules interesting. I want to make sure I'm culturally sensitive to the culture that developed Haiku but I also very much enjoy rule breaking that still follows a structure.

    This book is adorable. It's definitely a strong read for kids struggling with identity and fitting in. I think it's got a super appropriate amount of crushes. If there are any adults concerned that one of the main characters has crushes on adults, the adult that becomes aware of it in the book handles it extremely well. My one critique is that the title could be a struggle for some kids, it gets addressed in the book that the name of the camp isn't inclusive enough but I have also heard some people dislike that version of the acronym for a variety of reasons. I think it's cute and fun but I could see it being a draw back, so I hope that readers can get past that and dig into reading the book.
