As much as I love these Bromance dudes, I think Gretchen is what really made the book for me! She is such an amazing person and I can't believe she came from a family of snobby and narcissistic, rich people (except a bit to Uncle Jack). I love that she helps those that want to stay in the country even when it seems that her doing so seems hopeless.

Now Colton was such a sweetie and I love that he's a country star to boot! He loves Gretchen unconditionally and really uses his actions to show her that she's worthy of love and acceptance even when her own family doesn't see her for her greatness. 

Now I know that I said Gretchen makes the book for me, but I still do appreciate the dudes and their wives/girlfriends. They way they come together and are inclusive to all they come across.
