Rope the Moon: Alternate Cover Edition (Runaway Ranch Series Book 2)

I was given an ARC.“We’ve got the Cupcake headed to the barn with the Fairy Tale” ~ WyattAva has done it again!! This book was incredible!I've been waiting since October to get my hands on this book and I was not disappointed.I fell in love with Runaway Ranch and The Mongomrory brothers in Tame The Heart. But Davis held my attention and now I know why.Ava's writing style is, as always impeccable. She'll have you on the edge of your seat, worrying for characters and wanting to know what comes next.Like Ava's previous books, she's created believable characters you will find yourself falling in love with. You'll want them to be your best friends.Ava writes swoon-worthy cowboy romances like it's nothing. And I have a feeling that she is only going to get better!Dakota is as fierce as fierce comes! She doesn't let anything stop her, not her fears, not her ex, not people's judgment. Watching her go from this small scared woman who was running from an ex to this strong, empowering woman who would do anything to protect her friends and family was inspiring!!We got to know a little about Davis in Charlie and Ruby's book, but we truly saw him come into his own. We got to fully understand how far he would go to protect those he cared about. Seeing him become this anchor for Dakota, and take on this protectiveness for her baby was wonderful! He grew a lot in his book!Overall this book was amazing, I loved every second of it and couldn't stop reading. (Not even when I was waiting for my doctor's appointment 😅) I can't wait for it to come out so that everyone else can read and enjoy Davis and Dakota's book. Until then, make sure you go and read Charlie and Ruby's story to get introduced to The Montgomery brothers and Runaway Ranch!You won't regret it!

She ripped my heart out and then slowly pieced it back together. The writing was raw and emotional, making me cry often.Davis and Dakota have a shared history and when she finds herself back in her hometown with Davis promising to protect her, she wants to take his offer but also push him away. She thinks he is only doing it out of duty, not because he loves her.Dakota is running from her ex, she is in a dark place, having struggled for the past two years. Davis is devastated by her circumstances and feels guilt and remorse over everything that’s happened.The slow burn is delicious and I loved the push pull of their building relationship. The way they reconnected, the secrets they shared with each other. Davis and his unwavering need to protect Dakota, to cherish and love her, it was beautiful.I loved the dynamic of Davis and his brother’s, the bond they share is so strong even with Davis holding himself back. The lengths he goes to protect his family is incredible.Dakota needs people in her corner, her sister struggled with her being back but they found each other again. Ruby, Charlie’s wife is such a sweetheart and exactly what Dakota needed to help her through the dark days.I highly recommend reading this series, I will be going back to read the first book and can’t wait to read more.

🌙 My review of Rope The Moon by @avahunter 🌠⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 • She's pregnant, but it isn't his 🎀 • Second chance 🌷 • Small town romance 🦢 • "Touch her and you die" vibes 🦋 • Found family 🤍This second-chance romance was executed flawlessly! A swoon worthy protective marine and the girl that got away all those years ago who needs his help, what could go wrong? 🐚When I heard Ava Hunter was coming out with a sequel to Tame The Heart, I thought there was no way it'd be better than the first. I am very happy to announce I was wrong! This was just the right amount of angsty "will they or won't they" and sweetness to really make my heart race. If you're searching for a second chance romance, this is a perfect one to start with! 💌Stuck in an abusive relationship and having just found out she's pregnant, Dakota has had enough. She goes back to her hometown with the help of her secret ex-fling from six years ago.. turns out the sparks never left. 🌺The cowboy army man who's still pining for the girl he let go, when she finally comes back to town and he finds out she's pregnant.. but it's not his. Will he finally own up to his feelings and tell her? Or is it too late for their happily ever after? (Of course it isn't! This is Ava Hunter we're talking about, HEA guaranteed!!) 🌻
