Get to Know the Book
Title: CashAuthor: Jessica Peterson
Published: 2025
The Story at a Glance: Mollie desperately needs new investment to keep her beloved cowboy boot company afloat, when she suddenly inherits her estranged father’s sprawling cattle ranch. The catch? Live on the ranch and successfully manage it for a year before she can access her inheritance. Mollie can handle moving back to cowboy country but there’s one giant roadblock to her the ranch’s gruff foreman, Cash Rivers. Never mind how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps; he’s rude, growly, and wants Mollie gone. She’d fire him in a heartbeat, but she needs Cash and his strong hands to teach her the ropes. Forced to work together, Mollie and Cash are soon having late-night conversations beneath the stars and dancing cheek-to-cheek at the local dive bar. To her surprise, Mollie finds herself falling in love with ranch life . . . and maybe with a certain handsome cowboy, too.
My thoughts…
Rating:
Cash was a fun and easy read, the kind of book that flies by in just a couple of sittings. I enjoyed the light tone, the entertaining banter, and the general feel-good vibe throughout. It’s definitely a cozy story, perfect as a palate cleanser between heavier reads.
That said, I did find it a little flat. The main characters realized a bit too quickly that they’d been acting foolish and that they were actually perfect for each other. I would have loved a few more obstacles or emotional depth to really make their journey feel earned.
Still, I had a good time reading it, and I’m definitely planning to pick up the next book in the series at some point. 🤠
