ISO: In Search Of (After Oscar series #4)

I guess I decided on getting one more done off my recents TBR backlog. Here is Molly Maddox and Lucy Lennox's "ISO: In Search Of." It's the fourth novel in their After Oscar series.

["How in the world does a grumpy rancher end up falling for a rich dilettante?

Richard Dunning has it all: private school education, an exquisite designer wardrobe, a last name that ensures he’s invited to all the best parties, and a skincare regimen that’s to die for.

The only thing he doesn’t have is… well, a job. Or a home. Or money in the bank. Not since his dad cut him off.

So when his best frenemy approaches him with a bet—spend a month working as a cowhand on some godforsaken Wyoming ranch in exchange for his dream job—he’s a little too proud and a lot too desperate to say no.

But from the moment Richard and his rhinestone cowboy hat show up at the Silver Fork Ranch, nothing is as expected.

Not the beautiful vistas, not the terrifying horses, not the friendly people, not the epic quantities of cow manure, and definitely not Boone Hammond, the rugged rancher whose eyes are a little too intense, whose expectations are a little too high, and whose kisses are… a lot too tempting.

But when his month on the ranch comes to a close, Richard must choose: return to the safe, luxurious life he thought he wanted… or risk everything for the love he’s been IN SEARCH OF all along."]

Oscar Connections: Boone and Oscar grew up together and are best friends (and maybe it-didn't-mean-more-than-a-hook-up exs); Richard is ex's with Oscar's one ex (James--who is from book 3 in the series).

This series is life altering. It’s funny and sweet and provocative and spicy and emotional and so much. It’s so much. 

Again, I cried during a loooot of this. Richard is complex as fuck and his insecurities are so valid and relatable and soft. The amount of times I wanted to punch Boone because he let his clouded judgments and hai fatigue get in the way and make Richard feel inadequate. Luckily, he got his head out of his ass. ;)
