Quote from Isaiah starts this book.
Story is about Archer and he lives in a townhouse but is unemployed and knows the job he wants. He has to really prove to his father that he can make a go of any job, he's tried so many over the years after leaving college. His other brothers are high achievers and he can't measure up to them.
He wants the job at the ranch for a cowboy and he knows what it entails.
Emery lives next door and she tries to supplement her sisters bills in WA. She has had so many jobs also and when she realizes that Archer is going to apply for the ranch job she does as well. She knows she can't keep up with the chores or the weight of lifting things.
She does hang in there and when things go bad with her sister she moves in with Em to take care of.
Her boss Jace understands and gives her the time needed and she works at ranch also. Jace comes up with a new system to see who the new cowboy ranch hand will be. a competition over weeks during various jobs at the ranch.
This sounds so cool as we learn all about what happens at the ranch.
Love the moments they step out of their comfort zone, pleading with Em from the roof of the house dressed as Santa.
Love also how Archer reaches out to his mom although his father still puts him down.
Archer and Em have lived next door for years, going through high school, etc and they each have a thing for one another, just never voiced.
You wonder if things will really work out for them if they've spent almost 15 years already so close to one another.
Enjoyed this read, learned so many new things about ranching.
