Stirring Spurs by M.A. Wardell

3.5

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

🌶️🌶️🌶️

Gay cowboys? Say less. This book was short and sweet and I had a good time at Rainbow Ranch. The MMCs were so cute together, and the whole crew at the ranch had such a great dynamic. The spice was spicin’ (hello, sexy time hanging halfway out a window 👀) but also sweet. Both MMCs have a bit of a tragic backstory, but they don’t let it get them down. They live and love with purpose. 

The only reason I didn’t go above 3.5⭐️ for this cute little novella is because I felt some of the dialogue was trying a bit too hard to be “yee haw we are country”. As someone who grew up in the south, I can guarantee you we aren’t saying things like “he’s finer than frog hair” every other sentence. A few funny southernisms would have done the trick, but there were so many it was a bit distracting to me. 

Overall this was a very cute book, and I am interested in exploring more of M.A.’s work in the future.
