BLURB:

Braxton—the emo kid, the loner, the cynical wallflower with an attitude. It’s no secret that I’ve never quite fit in.
But it’s glaringly obvious now that I’ve moved to this Podunk small town that seems to run entirely on sugar, friendliness, and cheer. (And cows, an ungodly number of cows.)
I hate it—this place where everyone knows everyone, and I’m still the outsider.
But who wants to fit in anyways? I’ve never really tried, never even thought I wanted to… until I met him.
Jimbob is living his best life out here, farming the fields of Kansas, well and truly happy. And I just don’t get it. His charming smiles, playful winks, and easy-going attitude infuriate me, but I can’t look away. He’s like a bright, sunny day sweeping through my prickly hailstorm.
And I’m so utterly confused, because I’ve never felt this way before. There’s just something about Jimbob that makes me want to try.
Makes me want to belong.
Makes me want to put down roots in the glow of his sunshine.

REVIEW:

Jimbob built his own house on his father’s farm property, he works there and loves it. He’s happy and it shows. He’s lovable, everybody loves him… uhm, except Braxton.
Braxton hates Jimbob’s face, he tells him rudely.

He’s so grumpy he hates all the sweet smiles and sunshine coming from Jimbob, he wants to kiss them away, ehh, no he doesn’t, he hates those sweet smiles.

“Sometimes I get so lost in my shitty life that I forget how good things can be, if I only look”

There’s a lot going on in Braxton’s head. His life is always fast-paced, unsure, and unsafe, and now Jimbob wants to show him the opposite. Oh no! He can’t let that happen, it will break him.
Poor Braxton didn’t stand a chance, Jimbob is just the kindest laidback sexy guy ever.

Without being intrusive Jimbob helps Braxton where he can. It’s not only Jimbob who’s sunny and gentle, his family and the whole damn town are kind.
Something else than living with a mom who always had the wrong guys around.

Braxton is slowly letting his walls down and when he shows his real self Jimbob loves him even more!
I loved the kind, gentle people, with no second agenda, just real and honest. I wish I could find such a place to live.
The characters were lovable it made me all so mellow.
Overall a wonderfully written story, with all the good feels.
