The Front Runner

Stefan Dalca... Stefan freaking Dalca! Y'all, this book and this man chef's kiss. I've been making my way through @elsie's Gold Rush Ranch series and this is my favorite so far! This is an enemies to lovers story with fake dating mixed in, and it definitely does not disappoint. The female main character, Mira was 34 which I appreciated and made her more relatable. Stefan is a dreamy male main character whose confidence adds to his appeal. Stefan pulls Mira out of her comfort zone in the best possible way. I found this book to be much spicier than the previous books in the series. This is an adult romance, 18+ for language and sexual content
