Full joint review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 Elyse: 
 This book was trope heaven for me. It's got Country Boy vs City Girl, Unexpected Rescuer, Snowed In... It was like trope confetti. 
 Amanda: 
 Yes! Plus I've been on a cowboy kick lately and c'mon, did you see the size of that man's Stetson on the cover? 
 Admittedly, it was a slow start for me with the phone call and the info dumpage of character details. However once Ella and Gabe were in the same vicinity, the book really took off. Their interactions together were sincere, sweet, and addicting. 
 Elyse: 
 I loved Gabe. He's strong but genuinely sweet. I love alpha heroes who can be strong, but are secure and don't need to be assholes to everyone. Gabe is kind of a quiet hero, and I liked that. Ella is a smart, strong woman and he respects that. Also I want him to cook for me. 
 Amanda: 
 Despite the tragedy at the heart of the plot, the fact that both characters were functioning adults with their own aspirations and careers made their romance more attractive. They have their separate passions that overlap on occasion, showing just how well opposites can get along and compromise with each other. That being said, I did not like how Gabe played the martyr and decided for Ella that she couldn't handle both their relationship and her busy career. Or rather, she shouldn't because her focus needed to be on the company and handling her sister's death. 
 Calm your tits, Gabe. Girl knows what she's doing. 
 Elyse: 
 I think it's an interesting dynamic. I read books all the time about male billionaires who apparently have A LOT of free time despite their businesses. This book was pretty clear that Ella has a lot of shit to do. 
 Also Gabe is clearly intimidated by Ella's wealth and feels like he can't offer her much. You don't see that as often when the dude is rich and the woman isn't.
