Sawyer by Jessica Peterson (Lucky River Ranch #3)

I think I just found my favorite Rivers brother: Sawyer Rivers. I truly admire him for being so thoughtful, caring, and kind although a tiny bit self-sacrificial 😂 I’ve never wanted anyone to fall in love and get their happy ending more than this guy 🫶
Sawyer and Ava had explosive chemistry from the very beginning. Too bad they decided that what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas… erm, more like Austin, but we all know that was never going to be the end of it haha I was rooting for them right from the start! Their relationship moved a little too fast but I didn't mind that at all. However, towards the end I felt like Sawyer had to settle for what Ava wanted. It also felt like the narrative was trying a bit too hard to convince us that he had a change of heart when it comes to his beliefs. I don’t want to spoil anything so I’ll stop there, but if you’ve read this, please tell me what you think.
This is the third book in the Lucky River Ranch series, and it’s safe to say I really enjoy Jessica Peterson’s writing. The small town romance paired with the perfect mix of humor and emotional depth makes this series so easy to like! Oh and did I mention all the cowboys?! 🤠I’m really looking forward to reading Duke and Ryder soon!
Dirty dancing leads to a chance at forever in this sizzling single parent, found family, small town romance by Jessica Peterson.
As a recently divorced single mom, I have zero interest in flirting with guys while on a rare girls’ weekend away with my sisters. I just want to have fun, celebrate my new job, and listen to live music at a honky tonk.
But when I literally stumble into the most gorgeous guy ever on the dance floor, those plans go up in smoke. Growing up on the barrel racing circuit, I’m not immune to the charms of a cowboy. But this particular one is hot as hell: Sawyer’s got a mustache, some sexy tattoos, and a very filthy mouth.
Needless to say, we end up naked in his swanky hotel room. It’s the best sex of my life. And the way Sawyer treats me like a queen? Let’s just say a girl could get addicted to that kind of adoration.
Good thing he’ll always be just a one night stand I can look back on with a smile. I’m rebuilding our life from scratch, and I need to focus on my three-year-old daughter and the dream job I just landed.
Imagine my surprise, then, when I move to Hartsville and run into a tattooed cowboy with an endearing daughter of his own. Now Sawyer wants more than the occasional playdates between our girls. But the closer we become, the more determined this sexy single dad is to keep me forever.
As much as I am falling for Sawyer, I’m terrified. I’ve been down this road before with my ex, and I wonder if I can trust this cowboy. Will he rope the moon for me? Or is my heart destined to be trampled all over again?
SAWYER is a standalone book in the interconnected Lucky River Ranch Series.
