Spurs 'n Surrender (Operation Cowboy Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 311 ratings

He has scars and a dream. She has love and a determination to prove herself.

Corporal Wydell Jackson, aka Hard-Ass, is back in his hometown of Los Vista, Texas after serving years on the battlefield. Trouble is, the town is worse than a war zone after a storm ripped through it. Wydell and his platoon buddies are determined to rebuild and bring the people back to town, but how?

Since Anya Carter inherited millions and a lush estate from her grandparents, her phone is always ringing with requests to “invest” in people’s dreams. But this time her money manager has found something worth looking at—a small-town dream. After visiting Los Vista, her heart breaks for the ghost town and the people who’d once loved it.

Wydell is happy to take the millionaire debutante’s check and use it to rebuild. But she has ideas of a tiny home community for hipsters. As a Texan he believes vacation homes should be bigger and better, just like a woman’s curves. Each day he goes into battle against Anya, his control slips while he tries to keep his hands—and every other body part—off her.

Anya is determined to see her money spent on her terms, but when she argues with the hunky ex-soldier she wants to pull her hair out. She can’t deny he’s a complex man. When he isn’t drawing up detailed plans for the tiny homes, he’s working cattle—and her. Wydell raises more than her ire, and she is softening toward him. After all, building tiny houses together means being trapped in very close quarters.

Warning: Things can really heat up—even in small places. But there’s nothing small about this cowboy! Other books in this series: Kickin' Up Dust

    Wydell and his friends are trying to figure out how to get money to start rebuilding the town. A newspaper and a TV reporter come to take the story and publish what these men want to do. Some time later, a beautiful young lady comes to town to have a meeting and tells them she wants to back some of the building to get it started. She is working with Wydell and they definitely have different ideas on the housing part. This is a great story dealing with guys coming home from military life overseas, to go to find their town and homes gone and trying to start over. Wydell's relationship with Anya brings a lot of excitement to the mix too!

    I loved this book on so many levels. The characters were so well defined and the closeness of their little community was so
    Interesting. The storyline was so well written and real, it would fill your heart with bursting emotions. You felt like you were part of their families. Through thick and thin, the love and generosity flourished. A must read from this great author.

    This is a story about young men, friends from a small town who join the Marines and serve together in the same unit. They return home injured, haunted, and missing one of their team. Hoping to rebuild their lives, only to find the home they left behind has been wiped away buy a tornado and most of the towns people have moved on. Determined to rebuild the town and in doing so rebuild their lives the, now men, have a new plan of action.
    With the help and support and love of some unexpected ladies. I love a good story of overcoming hardship and winning, and hey if they happen to be Hot Marine/Cowboys all the better. Happy Reading:)
    I volunteered to receive an ARC of Spurs 'n Surrender and this is my honest review.

    Spurs 'n Surrender: Loved how even though the guys had been through a lot over the years and came home to not a lot and they still cared enough about their town to put it back together even though they didn't have a lot of money to it. It was a wonderful story great romance. I liked how Anya came in and funded the project and how she was not your typical wealthy person. I loved the attraction between Wydell and Ayna even though they have different back grounds. It was great how they but head them and up in bed and made it hot and steamy. Loved this story

    I loved every bit of Wydell and Anyas love story. They both are trying to rebuild a town devastated by a tornado but both have specific ideas about how to get things done. They clash at first but soon the chemistry is undeniable. A beautiful story of love, friendship and rebuilding after tragedy.

    Better than the first but still missing something. That said enjoyed the characters even though the H/h couldn’t agree to agree. Nice to catch up with characters in first book. Not a keeper for rereading.
