Review

Emerson, a spoiled rich kid, gets a life reset when he’s sent to his aunt's farm for the summer and meets Jasper.

It’s hate a first site for both of them. Classic city boy vs country boy who both take great pleasure in riling each other up. But we all know where that kind of passion can lead to.

But Emerson is only there for the summer, then he’s heading to California, and Jasper is made for Kensley and wide open spaces.

Somewhere along the line, they find common ground, deep respect, and love. The only thing left is figuring out how to make a future work for two people with dreams.

It’s a beautiful story with a really lovely happy ever after.

Synopsis

Emerson

My mom thinks I’m spoiled. So what does she do? She ships me out to a farm in the middle of nowhere.

It’s supposed to teach me some sort of lesson.

It won’t.

The only thing that’ll come from this will be the small town of Kensley meeting its match.

And not just Kensley.

Him.

Jasper thinks he can best me? Well, he has another thing coming. I may look like a spoiled city boy on the outside, but I’ll be the fiercest competition this country boy has ever seen.

Jasper

He’s a spoiled brat. Who does this guy think he is, showing up in my hometown and challenging me in every possible way?

He has no idea who he’s messing with.

None.

I may be a little turned around right now, having lost my girlfriend, but I’ll get her back. And everything in my world will be right again.

Including him.

I’ll send him packing before he knows what’s happened. This city boy doesn’t stand a chance.

We’re at a crossroads now, him and me.

And only one of us will come out as the winner.
