ARC Review: Homebound by Meredith Trapp

Publication Date: June 17, 2025

I know how much I love a cowboy romance. I didn’t know how much I was going to love a cowgirl romance- and it’s a lot! Homebound was everything you want in a romance and more. I was obsessed with Wyatt and Dakota from the very moment I met them, and I completely adored watching Dakota soften with Wyatt and his precious daughter Vienna. 

The tenderness in this book was amazing. The spice was phenomenal. The dynamic between the two love interests and Wyatt’s daughter was so beautiful. The single dad dynamic was so well done here and really added to the love story itself. Homebound is one of those romance books that really reminds you about true love! 

I really related to Dakota. She’s strong and independent and capable of taking on the world on her own, but she softens over time with the right person. This book epitomizes the truth of love to me: love is a soft place to land as you are. No pretenses, no lies, just being who you are and being loved for it. I’m a lover girlie, and this book was absolute perfection for me. 

Thank you to Atria Books and Atria/Emily Bestler Books for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
