The second this book popped up in my inbox, I jumped to read it. I had been dying for Dallas’ story as soon as I finished Wild Rose, so I was so excited to see Fallen Willow come to life. Willow and Dallas are such a great pairing and the marriage of convenience trope absolutely crushed it in this story.
Something I loved in this story was the arc of Dallas’ parental rights with Ellie, his daughter. I loved seeing Dallas step fully into the role of being a father and how Willow embraced Ellie as well. There was so much warmth in those interactions and the character of Ellie never failed to make me smile.
Roxanne Tully had me totally hooked when I was reading Wild Rose, and this book is a continuation of that! The Blue River Ranch series is quickly becoming one of my favorite small town romance series. I’m so happy I got to read this book and can’t wait for the rest of the world to read it! And I NEED Silas to have a book coming soon too!
Thank you to Embla 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.

The chemistry completely leapt off the page, and…
ARC Review: Trouble by Jess Bryson
Publication Date: January 16, 2026 Having read all of Jess Bryson’s Bayside Lake series, I was so excited for her to venture into writing cowboy romance! And boy is Trouble such a delight. When your MMC is nicknamed Trouble, there’s no way the story can be anything besides full of banter, sass, and spice. Tristan…
