If asked to list all the folks in Darling, Montana I can’t stand, I’d have a single name.
Noah King.
He’s the second-best farrier in town (me being the first). A royal pain in my behind. And an all-around smug pest I wouldn’t mind knocking down a peg or two.
It’s no surprise after so many years, our animosity has come to a head. I just never in my wildest, hate-fueled fantasies expected Noah’s attack to involve his lips on mine.
It was a mistake, no question. But apparently I still have some things to figure out about myself.
One thing I do know? Noah King and I have been bitter rivals from the start. And nothing, not even the fire he lights under my skin, makes a lick of difference in the end.
Surrendering to my enemy isn’t an option.

Colton Darling loves his ranch, hometown, family, and his job as a farrier. The only person he hates is his rival farrier, competitor, and longtime nemesis, Noah King. Noah is big, tatted, motorcycle riding dark cloud on his life. And that makes Colt grumpy, angry, and confrontational.
These two have been fighting, competing, and disliking each other for over fifteen years. They are both stubborn and can barely be in the same area without annoying or taunting each other. Their banter is snarky and antagonistic, and they fail to actually listen to what the other has to say. They both take the other's treatment a bit personally as well.
It just takes one angry, unexpected kiss to shut Colton up. But it also stirs up questions about their own likes, wants, needs, and identities. They are consumed by fussing, fighting each other and their own feelings, frolicking in secret places, and the fire between them.
Colt has used his prickly personality to keep his vulnerability hidden behind walls and is afraid to ask for what he wants and risk not getting it. He can be a bit of a brat, but Noah can reel him in. Noah is determined, possessive (Mine!), and likes control, but also still allows Colt chances to choose. But Noah is also sensitive and afraid of loss. They get under each other's skin and even as they give in to passion and experiment with each other, their communication and fears get in their way.
There is a little twist that surprised me and helped their reactions and the past make more sense. I loved seeing the intensity between these characters as their dynamics changed. They push and challenge each other and are combustible. And each of them had hidden vulnerabilities and deep down wanted to be understood, accepted, and loved, even though they were afraid of getting hurt.
This is an entertaining, fiery, fun, double bi-awakening, rivals/enemies to lovers, small town romance. It illustrates the whole idea of a thin line between love and hate. I loved being back in this world with these characters, and I am looking forward to more with the other Darling brothers, Lawson and Remi.

If there’s one thing I don’t need upsetting my quiet and comfortable routine in the small town of Darling, Montana, it’s newcomer Ash Alcott crash landing on my family’s ranch like some sort of blonde angel.
I don’t need his flirting. Or his smile. I don’t need the way he makes me question whether or not I’m truly happy being alone at forty. I certainly don’t need to be giving him riding lessons or appreciating the meals he cooks for the ranch.
The man is dangerous for my equilibrium. And he could up and leave at any given moment, tiring of this way of life. It’s happened before.
No, I’m better off ignoring the way he looks at home in a new pair of boots and how my family and the ranchers all adore him. Ash may have brought some sunshine into our lives, but it’s best he learn sooner rather than later…
Ain’t nothing sweet about being saddled with a cowboy like me.
