FIVE STARRED REVIEWS
Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future. He's pathetic at playing cards, hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey, and utterly devoted to his coffee-drinking dog, the Doorman. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery. That's when the first ace arrives in the mail. That's when Ed becomes the messenger. Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary) until only one question remains: Who's behind Ed's mission?

One wild night you can't remember brings bad choices to the surface- only in Vegas it's a future.
Format: Kindle
I recieved an ARC copy of this book and was delighted with all the feels. A crazy meet in Vegas and one wild night changes so many lives. Drew carries the weight of so much and trusts no one. Relationships are not her strong trait. A Wyoming ranch girl at a rodeo trying to win a contest to save the ranch. She meets Maisie who is a straight girl that catches her hatwhen it flies off Drew's head. Sparks fly and a connection is felt. They bump into each other couple more times and end time in Vegas with one forgotten wild night. I rode a wonderful bunch of feels with this book. I yelled more than once at these characters who clearly cared for each other but could not get out of their own way. So stubborn and full of false bravado I just want them to share thoughts. It was a delicate balance to navigate the mine field which was their past and the surprise that is their future. The best part of the story was watching how love was changing everyone on the ranch. They give new meaning to running away from your feelings. It was a sweet, often funny and challenging romance. I was curious how or if they would find ways to share feelings. It kept me turning pages just to see what was next. I really enjoyed the characters and the ranch life. A good stranger to lover and then get to know you story.

Cute
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed this story much more than I expected to. Maisie and Drew couldn’t be more different in many ways but they make a good pair. Both women are stubborn and determined and they butt heads more than once but that is ultimately what makes them work. This is a good sapphic story and is worth a read.

Everything
Format: Kindle
TB Markinson + Miranda MacLeod = winning combination.
This book was everything I needed. To be fair, having read their previous collaborations, as soon as I saw this book I hit "buy" without even paying much attention to the blurb. I was not disappointed.
When I eventually got around to reading the blurb (post-purchase) I was even more excited to read it. The storyline was great, the story well-written, the characters quite likeable and relatable and all in all a great book. I went through all the feels with this: there were parts that made me laugh, parts where I had to put it down because I really wanted to shake the characters, parts where I went "awww" and couldn't hold back a tear.
So, long story short, read this book, you won't regret it

Loved this story.
Format: Kindle
First things first. Will there be a sequel, ladies? Perhaps children for Maisie and Drew? Hannah finding a woman to love?
I really loved this story. Horses, critters, angst and some good lovin’. What more could a woman ask for? Well done you two. You made this old broad pine for a ranch and a lovely cowgirl.
