About the Book

A summer on the road.

A relationship on the rocks.

And the one man she shouldn’t want.

Sunday thought this summer would be simple: follow her boyfriend and his brother from rodeo to rodeo, enjoy the freedom of the open road, and confirm what she already suspects—Logan is cheating.

What she doesn’t expect is Holden.

Holden’s steady where Logan is careless, quiet where Logan is loud, and impossible to ignore when sharing close-quarters.

As the miles pass and the nights grow long, the tension between them escalates. Every glance, every accidental touch feels like a risk—and crossing the line could jeopardize everything Holden and Logan have worked for. But the reward is starting to feel impossible to walk away from.

Review

Sunday’s Best was quite frustrating for me. Sorry, but I couldn’t root for Holden. He knew how much his twin brother had hurt Sunday. Even watched it happen. Yet he still encouraged her to stay with Logan because the team was on a winning streak and thought she should wait until the end of the season to leave him. For why? He was supposedly in love with her. It felt incredibly weird to me that he didn’t speak up earlier. And why was Logan’s career and the team’s success more important than what Sunday was going through?

Unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan of Sunday either. There’s not much character development for her. She is absolutely not responsible for Logan cheating on her, but I became frustrated watching her repeatedly refuse to stand up for herself and choose herself. She knew Logan had been cheating. She had literally watched him cheat. Yet instead of finally ending the relationship, she ended up cheating on him with his twin brother.

A lot of Sunday’s decisions revolved around worrying about Logan and his career. And the explanation for why she remained so caught up in him was pretty lackluster. I needed more to understand why she stayed for so long and why choosing herself seemed so difficult.

The romance was not my favorite either. There wasn’t enough emotional connection or romantic development with Holden and Sunday. And truthfully, Holden was barely a step above Logan for me, especially after knowing what Sunday was going through and still encouraging her to remain in that relationship.

Logan felt like the stereotypical awful boyfriend without enough depth to make him interesting. He cheats, treats Sunday terribly, and prioritizes himself, but there wasn’t much more to his character beyond that. Which I mean is fine. The book is about Sunday and Holden.

Final Thoughts

Sunday’s Best is one of the more frustrating reads of the year. I was supposed to root for the romance, but I never got there. Instead, I spent most of the book frustrated with almost everything.
