Spurs and Sparks by Jody Hedlund

Synopsis of the book: 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.

✨ My 13th read of 2025 and the 4th read of my summer challenge✨

Spurs and Sparks was an enjoyable read! As a historical fiction lover, I don't read much contemporary fiction, but I enjoyed Jody Hedlund's first modern-day romance novel! In this enemies-to-lovers romance story, Tyler and Kinsey are perfect for each other- the power couple you need in your life. From light-hearted romance and sizzling kisses, I loved seeing Tyler and Kinsey's romantic story blossom! ❤️ I also love how this new series follows the modern-day McQuaid family! The original McQuaid family in the series, Colorado Cowboys, is also a must-read!
