Homebound
A charming and swoon-worthy second chance romance between Texas’s toughest female rodeo rider and the man determined to win her back—perfect for fans of Elena Armas and Lyla Sage.
Dakota and Wyatt. Growing up, they were as inseparable as a pair of cowboy boots. The best of friends…or so Dakota thought.
Every summer, Wyatt would come home to his family’s flower farm in Granite Falls, Texas, and they’d stargaze in the fields, pinkies brushing, laughter rumbling with the cicadas until one summer, he never returned.
Dakota hasn’t heard a peep from Wyatt in over three years, and during that time, a lot has changed. He’s the hockey world’s golden boy, and she’s developed a reputation as “The Cowboy Killer,” breaking both rodeo records and men’s hearts. The last thing Dakota needs is a distraction from her bull-riding goals, but everything changes when her old friend waltzes back into town with an adorable baby on his hip.
Wyatt’s back to get the girl he’s been obsessing over for years, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get her back—two-stepping at the rodeo, jumping into Cibolo Creek, even rendezvousing in outdoor showers. All Dakota wants is to keep her distance and focus on training, but when she learns the truth behind why Wyatt left, it turns out the scorching Texas sun might not be the only thing that burns them this summer.

2.5 ⭐️ The cover made me pic this one up, but I didn’t love it as much as I was expecting. Single dad and grumpy sunshine where she is the grumpy and she is the sunshine. Both of those are tropes that I eat up every single time and the saving grace of this book because of how much I love them. This was a friends to lovers book (which I normally LOVE) but unfortunately this wasn’t a good friends to lovers in my eyes, the friendship wasn’t believable on the mmc side and it was obvious he was only ever friends with her because he wanted to get into her pants, evidenced by him cutting off all contact when she got engaged. I’m all for protecting your peace but that and other things about the friendship throughout the book just made me cringe. I would try another book by this author but honestly it wasn’t the greatest.
