But sometimes the heart has a mind of its own. It falls without warning.

The last thing I want to do is fall for the angry cowboy.

Blair Andrews has spent the better part of her adulthood playing trophy wife to her politician husband in San Francisco. All she knows is her pampered, polished, perfect life.

Until it all comes crashing down around her.

After hiding out in her sister’s spare bedroom for months to avoid pitying looks on the streets, she decides it’s time to escape city life and learn to stand on her own.

On a whim, Blair buys a tiny home in a small Wyoming town where she is certain her new neighbor, Griffin Barlow, can’t stand her. He owns the local bar, is constantly covered in dirt from working on his family's ranch, and never smiles.

Is he grumpy because she infiltrated his privacy when she moved onto the once quiet street? Or is there more to it than that?

Blair has sworn off relationships, leaving the city behind to start fresh and find her independence.

But in Bluestone Lakes, Wyoming, she’s finding more than that.

Maybe…she’s finding home.

Second Chance for Love in Wyoming

Blair leaves San Francisco after catching her husband cheating—with his secretary, no less. Heartbroken but determined to rebuild her life, she heads to Wyoming in search of peace, healing, and a fresh start. She buys a tiny home by the lake in Bluestone Lakes, ready to turn the page and find her happiness.

Unfortunately, her new beginning gets off to a rocky start thanks to her grumpy next-door neighbor. But Blair’s not about to let a cranky guy ruin her reboot. She lands a job at the local bakery—only to find out her not-so-friendly neighbor is also her new boss’s brother and co-owner of the shop.

Griffin had his heart broken when his ex left him behind for the big city. Since then, he’s buried himself in work, running his bar seven days a week and swearing off love. But Blair? She’s the one disruption he didn’t see coming. The more they cross paths, the more he’s drawn to her—and the more his carefully constructed walls start to crack.

from the big city to the small town

this starts out in a big city but it's definitely a small town Romance. she's living in the big city full of politics and her finds out her husband is cheating on her and does a 180 and goes to a small town. and that's where she starts all over again and this is where the story goes and she has a grumpy neighbor and you can kind of guess what happens from there. the story was entertaining and if you like small town Romance I would pick it up.

Starting over

I love the books when people get to start over from a messy life or past endeavors. I really enjoyed reading this book and the characters in it. look forward to reading more!

Angry cowboy

The connection these two characters have is strong and pulls your right in. This small town has true character and lots of fun/love. These two narrators were a perfect match for Blair and Griffin.

5 stars as a physical read & 5+ stars in audio!!!

I LOVED IT EVEN MORE IN AUDIO THAN I DID READING PHYSICALLY ITS SO SO SO STINKING GOOD. teddy hamilton is absolutely hands down one of my favorite audiobook narrators. I love how his voice fits like every male character in my head. & savannah peachwood played a wonderful blair. I thoroughly enjoyed this story even more & am so happy it’s now in audio format bc it is definitely going to become a favorite read of mine!!

A comforting small-town escape

I really felt for Blair, watching her go from broken to brave was so satisfying. And Griffin? Total grump, but in the best way once you crack his shell.

It didn’t hit every emotional beat for me, but I still really enjoyed the slow-burn vibe and second-chance energy. A sweet reminder that sometimes starting over leads you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Sweet, homey, small town romance

The audiobook narration by Teddy and Savannah in duet style was an absolute joy to listen to. Teddy nails the gruff, guarded small town bar owner, Griffin, to perfection, while Savannah brings the perfect blend of softness and sunshine to Blair’s journey. I was fully immersed—the audio made the emotional beats land even deeper.

Great narration

The MFC is irritating and whiny. There are so many moments where she seems like a preteen than adult. Did her husband cheat on her? Yes, and you will be reminded of that way too often. Is she looking for love? No, and that too will be mentioned an obsessive amount of times.

The MMCs ex left him for a big city, that too will be mentioned way too often as well as him not looking for love.

At one point he doubled over in laughter over something that was not funny and made the scene weird

DNF with 4 hours left

This story did not catch my attention at any point. I've never cared less about any characters as I did about these. Didn't love them, Didn't hate them. I simply didn't care about them. I'm also thinking perhaps Savannah Peachwoood isn't the narrator for me. She's very breathy and this is the 2nd book she's done that I DNFed.
