ARC Review: Live, Ranch, Love by Emma Lucy

Publication Date: September 30, 2025

I would never have guessed that Live, Ranch, Love was Emma Lucy’s debut novel! The world of Sunset Ranch was so well thought out and has such a great cast of characters. I was immediately obsessed with Wyatt and Rory and their palpable tension. They’re such opposites in so many ways, but seeing them come together was amazing!

I loved how Wyatt and Rory were able to create a world where they both got what they wanted out of their shared home. There were many points in this story where I was shrieking at the slow burn (brilliantly done) and I was so excited when they FINALLY kissed. The chemistry is so well written & just all around a total masterpiece.

I am really hoping that Emma Lucy will write more books set here in Willow Ridge!! I’d love to see more from Wyatt and Rory as well as the rest of the band of characters there. I saw that she’s releasing Riding the Line in the UK this year… so I’m hoping it won’t be too long before it’s also in the U.S.! 

Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager 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.
