"Choosing each other. Finding each other. Showing up for each other. And everything about the moment is flawless."


This was my first cowboy romance, and I can't say that I'm disappointed. There were some cheesy dialouges at times. Overall, it was cute and enjoyable.

Flawless is the first book in the Chestnust Springs series. It is a small town, enemies to lovers cowboy romance with some banter, tension, and forced proximity. I felt like they moved away from being enemies pretty fast. I would have liked there to have been more.

Summer has just gotten her law degree and has started working for her father's company. When news breaks that one of his clients has gotten himself into some trouble and is beginning to lose sponsors over it. She is now tasked to keep an eye on Rhett Easton the bull rider who has publicly announced that he doesn't like milk to ensure that he doesn't harm his image any more than he has, lose anymore sponsors or cause anymore trouble. Can she keep the reckless cowboy in line until the end of this season?


Summer Hamilton is strong and resilient from what she had endured during her childhood, and that's what I admired about her. On the other hand, though, I couldn't stand that she was such a people pleaser and immature at times. Like girl, grow a backbone and stand up for yourself. Also, some of the things she said were so cheesy. I found myself not loving her but not hating her either.

"If this were my last moment alive, how would I want it to be?"


Rhett Eaton is a broody, grumpy, cocky bullrider that is vulnerable at times and has some insecurities. I get his dislike for milk because I feel the same. He does have a sweet side that is reserved for Summer. That was pretty much it for him, though, as far as personality. I did feel bad for him that he felt like no one was ever there for him until Summer.

“Because I’m more myself on the back of a bull than I am any other time. I’ve only ever been a bull rider.��


Summer and Rhett had some cute moments together. They had chemistry, but I felt like there were things that needed to be worked on with themselves first. I guess they did, but it was surface level. Now there was one particular scene that I did enjoy with them, and that was the phone call iykyk.

"Choosing each other. Finding each other. Showing up for each other. And everything about the moment is flawless."


This book was a good introduction for me into the cowboy world. There were moments where it was predictable. We also had a third act breakup that could have been dissolved had they just talked about it. Other than some minor issues, I enjoyed it enough to want to move onto the next book.

"That’s what you do for family. Whatever it takes."

"He’s connected the freckles to say Mine. And God, in this moment, I feel like that might be true."

"She and I really are binary stars, stuck in each other’s orbit, drawn together by forces we can’t see or understand—but that we can feel."
