Endless praise for this book. I really loved how most chapters began in the past. It really set the scene of the chapter but also slowly filled you in on the gaps. It left me wanting more every single time.
Violet and Cole are sunshine and grump personified. She was optimistic, driven, and seemingly meek. He was broody, pessimistic, and deeply self conscious. Together? Absolute magic.
This series has just gotten better and better. I also love that the characters of the first book Billie and Vaughn were so heavily involved in the story of Violet and Cole. I loved Billie so much and I am so glad that her spunk and sass stuck around to continue to provide not only comedic relief, but also a sense of deep and profound friendship for Violet’s character.
These books aren’t romantic comedies by any means, but I giggle, and I laugh as if they are. There are some deep traumas, some realistic feelings, and so many insightful dialogues. The story and plot of Gold Rush Ranch and those who are involved in its daily workings has only grown.
There was something about the way Cole and Violet met that kept me hooked from the very first chapter. A little touch of kismet if you will. I am in love with the world of Gold Rush Ranch that Elsie Silver has created.
I can’t wait to read more from Elsie, and I am especially excited to continue this series.
It’s so good, don’t even think about it. Just saddle up and get ready for a ride.
Happy Reading Friends xx

You need this book in your life.. NOW!! This book was perfect on every level. The plot.. gosh it was so beautiful, angsty, and emotional. And, the characters... PHENOMENAL! This is not your typical second chance romance, either. I loved how original it was.
Cole is a literal hero. His character comes with some trigger warnings, so beware of that. He experienced some traumatizing things as a child and as an adult, in war. And let me tell you, Elsie Silver did a fantastic job touching on his PTSD. It was so raw and drew out my emotions exactly how I wanted it too. His character was written so well!! 👏
I absolutely adored Violet. Her strength was inspiring. She is the epitome of sunshine. She was confident, independent, and fierce. Honestly, she's the ultimate heroine and I loved her character.
"She’s even more beautiful than I remember, soft and feminine, and soothing without even trying. Getting to know Violet was like discovering a medicine I didn’t even know I needed."
Cole and Violet's journey to love is not an easy one. They had a lot of hurdles to overcome, but that's what made this book. Their chemistry was through the roof and you can really feel the longing between the two of them. The sexual tension should be noted too, because damn! 🔥 Also, their love for each other draws you in so much, I had hard time putting this book down!
This one will be stuck with me for a while and can't wait to read the next one! 🧡
Y'ALL, THIS BOOK HAS MY HEART!! 🥺
