Tyler McQuaid has been too busy managing his family’s luxury ranch resort to think about love. But when his dad gets sick and may not have long to live, Tyler begins to question what is truly important. He’s already failed once at love and marriage, but how can he say no to his dad’s sickbed wish that he try again?
Kinsey Wingrove, a traveling nurse, prefers to keep her relationships short and sweet, and yes, even shallow. With the losses she’s already experienced in life, it’s just easier that way. When she arrives at Healing Springs Ranch, she clashes with her new patient’s son, the handsome cowboy who runs the place and doesn’t think she’s the right nurse for his dad.
As sparks fly between Tyler and Kinsey, the meddling, matchmaking McQuaid family sees that more can exist between the two than they will acknowledge. Can Tyler accept and move beyond the mistakes of his past to allow for the McQuaid legacy of love—a fast, furious, and forever kind of love? Or will he let Kinsey’s fears push him away forever?Enemies to moreGrumpy bossSingle dadMatchmaking familyGrief from lossHunky cowboysSwoony kisses* The inspirational themes in this book are light, and the romance is the primary focus.

MY THOUGHTS.....
I'm always excited to learn about a new Jody Hedlund book but knowing that the McQuaid family was involved made it even more special. I first fell in love with this family in Hedlund's historical Western series, Colorado Cowboys. The past generations of McQuaid men were known for falling in love 'fast, furious, and forever', but Tyler McQuaid doubted that he could continue this legacy. Until...traveling nurse Kinsey Wingrove arrived to care for his seriously ill father. Could their bickering and volatile relationship be more than just instant dislike?
Tyler and Kinsey take center stage in an emotional story that explains their past hurts and their current insecurities. Neither of them believes that a lasting love is possible, but Tyler's family has other ideas. I loved their matchmaking efforts!
The next book in the Hidden Springs Ranch series is scheduled to release in a few weeks, and four more stories are planned in the future. Grab a copy of Spurs and Sparks for a tantalizing story with unforgettable characters and sweet, sizzling romance that's never offensive. It's a great beach read and a wonderful introduction to this new generation of McQuaids!
I accepted an advance reader copy from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
