Book 4 in the Copper Lake series is full of age gap forbidden goodness. This follows Colt & his dad's best friend William. 2 years prior to when the majority of this story takes place, these two shared a steamy ONS that neither of them have been able to stop thinking about since. So when William moves back to Copper Lake to take over his ageing father's medical practice and Colt is stuck at home for the next few months after an injury stops him from competing on the rodeo circuit there is no avoiding the complicated but sexual chemistry charged elephant in the room between them. 

I think the age gap/forbidden aspect of this story was done well. Will pushed back against his own feelings and wants for a good portion of the book and I think his worries, concerns and hesitation surrounding his developing feelings etc for Colt were 100% valid, infact the times when Colt was dismissive of Wills concerns didn't endear me to his character and I thought it only served to showcase the maturity difference between them. My only issue with this and why it didn't reach 5 stars for me was there was a definite lack of relationship development between them outside of the chemistry and physical side, we didn't get a lot of on page moments of them forming a connection outside of the bedroom and although the spice in this was delicious in order for me to be fully invested in them as a couple I needed those moments. 

Overall, I am really enjoying this series by Ashley, and this was a great addition to it. Aiden Snow & Teddy Hamilton narrate, and they deliver with their performances. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them as Colt & William, and I think the characters they voiced really suited their tones and performance styles. 🌶🌶🌶
