Review by Booklist Review

When Jess' dad tells her he is planning to sell the family's Wyoming ranch and move to a retirement community with Molly, his decades-younger wife, she puts her hospitality career on hold and heads for home. Growing up as a cowgirl, she aspired to a glittery city career while also expecting to spend her life with her sexy best friend, Cade, the cowboy next door. Back at the ranch, Jess realizes how much she has missed the sun-drenched beauty of Wyoming. Certain that Molly is taking advantage of her father, she discovers instead that Molly is worried about her dad's poor health. Jess dreads seeing Cade, who married her nemesis, but his situation has changed. When the ranch goes up for sale, it looks like a wealthy couple, him old and overweight, she young and Melania-like, will buy and ruin it, but Kennedy shows that even difficult people are just trying to make it through life. This sweet but sexy tale, the kick-off for Kennedy's new Blue Sky Cowboys series, is great for fans of Linda Lael Miller's contemporary romances.--Diana Tixier Herald Copyright 2019 Booklist

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Kennedy's delicious contemporary series launch is filled with nostalgia as a woman returns to the Wyoming ranch of her childhood and reunites with her first love. Jessica Bailey takes a break from her job in Denver, Colo., to return to her family's ranch and say her goodbyes; her father, Heck, and stepmother, Molly, plan to sell the ranch and move to a retirement community. When Jess arrives in Wyoming she discovers that this "plan" was Heck and Molly's ploy to get Jess to come home and reunite with her former boyfriend, Cade Walker, who is now divorced and available. But Jess has trust issues that flare up when Cade's ex-wife briefly stays at his house. As Jess lets down her guard and allows a relationship to develop between her and Cade, the sexual tension sizzles, and she must decide whether to let romance take center stage in her life. Wit and charm suffuse this well-plotted story about remembering what's most important in life. Agent: Elaine English, Elaine P. English, PLLC. (June) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
