Wanted by Paisley Hope: Review

I don’t know what it is, but every time there’s a book out about ranches, a hot cowboy, or horses, I really want to read it.

Needless to say, this one grabbed me because of the cover and a character named Beau. I mean, how many breadcrumbs did they need to give me to crack open this one?

Happily, I enjoyed the story, so you can check out my review below.

SYNOPSIS:
Beau Black is ready to take the reins of the Grosvenor Black Cattle Ranch. A man of few words and many responsibilities, it’s his job as the eldest son to hold on to the family legacy for his two brothers while raising his four-year-old twins. Alone. Carrying the guilt and grief of his failed relationship with the woman who left him before her death, Beau refuses to let anything—or anyone—distract him from what’s important in life: his family and their land. Even if that means closing his heart to love.

Until his ex’s long-lost younger sister appears in his life . . . and makes his resolve crumble.

Hallie Lockhart is a breath of fresh air in Beau’s dusty world, a reminder that life isn’t just about duty and tradition. When she offers to help his family for the summer, the chemistry between them becomes undeniable. But Hallie is his girls’ aunt, so she’s absolutely off-limits.

As friendship becomes more, can the two fight the passion building between them? Or are they destined to learn that love doesn’t always follow the rules?

Wanted by Paisley Hope Review

I freely admit that I am one who covets a really strong male leading character in my romance novels. Thankfully, this author knows how to give us all of the feels.

I am a sucker for a really good cowboy, small-town romance, and main character Beau is perfect in so many ways.

Not only is he hot and definitely swoon-worthy, but he is also sweet, kind, and so loving. The author nails it on the single Dad level. The girls are always number one and a main focus in the book.

But we also get all of the other pressure and responsibilities that he has with his family ranch.

Then he meets a hot stranger in a dive bar, and the fireworks are definitely there. I love that she is kind and has such a big heart, even though others have treated her poorly.

When circumstances bring them together, the slow burn is definitely a slow-burn romance. The fire and the heat are simmering. When truths are finally revealed, that’s when your heart can finally stop beating so hard.

There are a lot of family dynamics that take center stage sometimes. Plus, there were certain parts that I felt were kind of repetitive, and I wanted that conversation between them to happen so that we could move forward with the actual togetherness and get more of that.

But Wanted is a beautiful story of finding the perfect fit for your life, your children’s lives, and your family. So much love for this story. Steamy, sexy, and sweet. Beau is a dreamboat! Cannot wait for book 2.
