I loved the character development that we saw with the FMC. Trista is hard headed, stubborn and very reluctant to let people in. I will admit that she does come across as frustrating throughout the book with the way that she refused to budge, but I think its good writing from the author because it felt very human. Her reluctance for change allowed me to resonate with Wyatt, MMC, as he went about trying to show her love and support in the ways that he knew how. They couldn't be more opposite but they meshed in an absolutely perfect way. They brought out each others insecurities and issues and shredded them to pieces as they lifted each other up. 

The animal aspect was probably my favorite part. Trista kept slowly bringing more and more animals onto the mountain and Wyatt was fighting an uphill battle against himself at accepting them. Seeing how Wyatt was against the animals but then he clearly accepted and even loved them was so adorable and it had me kicking my feet. 

Trista's mantra of "I'm a cow" was one of the better parts of the story and I loved the humor the author brought into the book.

I will absolutely read the next book in this series as I am already obsessed with our mountain men!
