Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I actually really enjoyed this read! I’m a Rebekah Weatherspoon fan, for sure, and so of course I was excited to read something from her latest series. Black Cowboys? Yes please.

Amanda is a plus-size woman (yaaas for the rep) who has a one night stand with Sam Pleasant, an award winning actor and real life cowboy. She’s sure she’ll never see him again and it’s not like she has time in her busy schedule as a personal assistant for a relationship anyway so she’s willing to accept the one night stand for what it is and carry on with her life. Sam unintentionally ruins that plan. Turns out, her best friend’s wedding is being held at his family’s ranch! Good times, good times. While she's still completely attracted to Sam and Sam is obviously attracted to her, Amanda is trying her best to stick to the plan. A relationship, especially with the very sexy, very famous Sam Pleasant has no chance of working out, especially not when she’s got to deal with her bitch of a boss Dru on a regular basis. But apparently, fate has something else planned.

Overall this book was a really easy and fun read. I loved Sam and Amanda’s chemistry from the beginning. They’re drawn to each other and it’s clear they have a ton of fun inside and outside of the bedroom. What I really enjoyed is that Amanda being plus size is never really an issue here. Sam doesn’t think anything of it except that he loves her curves. Amanda doesn’t count herself out just because she’s a big girl or even talk down about herself. Her size does come into play later, but it’s done by a character that we know is an asshole. It’s not discussed throughout or made into a big deal which is great. All plus-size rep shouldn’t focus on the fact that the character is plus size, if that makes sense. The biggest issue with Amanda’s self-esteem has nothing to do with her size, but is more focused on her career as an aspiring writer and current personal assistant. She’s stuck where she is and trying to figure out how exactly to make it out on her own. Sam Pleasant is a complete sweetheart through and through. He and Amanda actually have their career insecurities in common. Both want to do something more, but aren’t exactly sure how to accomplish that. The sex scenes were steamy, but not too over the top. I love a good explicit scene, but I think this one is mild which is great for people who don’t necessary like all the steamy and sexy details. On the hotness factor, I’d say it’s about a 3 out of 5. Honestly, this book read like a fairytale, but in the best possible way. It had just the right amount of cheesiness in the romance that kept you smiling, but didn’t make you want to roll your eyes.
