Can Love Bloom in the Dusty Trails of Drylanders' Hope?
Isabelle "Izzy" Montgomery has achieved
everything she dreamed of - a high-powered career, big-city penthouse, and
financial success. But when she's sent to tiny Drylanders' Hope, Texas to
restructure a failing cattle ranch, her perfectly cultivated world turns upside
down.
Ethan Walker, a ruggedly handsome widowed cowboy, is
convinced this corporate city-slicker has come to destroy the community's
beloved ranch and their entire way of life. He's prepared to fight for the
traditions and faith that sustained his family for generations.
From their very first encounter, the spark between Izzy
and Ethan cannot be denied. But it will take insurmountable courage to bridge
the vast divide between their clashing worlds. As Izzy adapts to life on the
ranch, an unexpected romance blossoms, challenging her to rethink her
priorities.
Ethan is drawn to Izzy's tenacious spirit, but he refuses
to risk his heart again. When corporate greed threatens to shatter their
budding relationship and tear the community apart, Izzy and Ethan must confront
their pasts and take a leap of faith. In a race against time, they'll need to
rally the townsfolk and fight for not just their love, but the very future of
Drylanders' Hope itself.
Romancing The
Drylander is the latest romance novella from author Remy Sinclair. It’s a clean
cowboy romance perfect for anyone wanting a short and sweet romantic read.
Remy Sinclair has
a really descriptive writing style and her vivid descriptions made the Texan
setting come alive on the page. Our
story is told through a third person dual POV narrative and it was nice to see
both Izzy and Ethan’s stories explored. Ethan’s story was particularly
interesting as we explore his grief after being widowed at a young age when his
high school sweetheart lost her life following a cancer battle. I quickly
warmed to Ethan’s character and it was great to see him grow over the course of
the book from grumpy cowboy to someone open to love again. Izzy was another
brilliant character and I enjoyed the exploration of her reconnecting with her
roots and finding a true home in Drylanders' Hope. There is also a
fantastic cast of supporting characters in the Drylanders' Hope community, all
of whom were really interesting to read about.
As you can expect
with a romance novella, this is a very fast-burn story and Izzy and Ethan’s relationship
progresses very quickly over the course of a few weeks. We do still get a good
amount of relationship building scenes though which was nice to see. I perhaps
would have liked even more, just to get us really rooting for their
relationship, and it would have been nice to also have an epilogue exploring
their relationship later down the line.
There is a heavy Christian
element to the story which I wasn’t expecting. Although as someone who isn’t
particularly religious I clearly wasn’t the target audience, I’m sure this will
appeal to anyone who likes to read clean romances with Christian messaging.
This is a clean romance with nothing more than kisses.
Overall, Romancing
The Drylander is a quick and easy read, perfect for anyone who wants a cowboy romance
without any spice.
