I arrived here a mess, no better than a weather vane caught in a windstorm, blown about by poor decisions and regrets. But something about this place spoke to me. The animals. The land. The people. Boone.
I thought this was a sweet and cozy little novella and a nice way to kick off the Rainbow Ranch series! Featuring Boone Adams, the ranch cook, and Wylie Anderson, a mysterious, broody cowboy just passing through. The two hit it off almost immediately, and as they grow closer, Wylie begins to consider finally setting down some roots.
It was easy to be drawn to Boone, with his sunshiny demeanor and his penchant for caring for everyone around him. Wylie was instantly drawn to him, and I enjoyed watching them grow closer. This being a novella, things progress rather quickly, but it was still believable. I loved all the swoony moments, like their date under the stars. The backdrop of the ranch and the vivid way M.A. Wardell describes it lent a dreamy quality to the whole thing.
The story was very low angst, mostly just good vibes and queer joy. It’s a quick and easy read full of warmth, family, and happiness. Plus, there are lots of cute animals (loved Dennis the mini horse!) and lots of yummy sounding food!
