Between a Rock and a Hard Cowboy: A Small Town Enemies to Lovers Romance (Wilder Brothers Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Cat Johnson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 250 ratings

Opposites combust this Christmas between a small town cowboy and a grumpy city girl hacker with an attitude as big as New York when they're snowed in together with a dangerous secret that could cost his family everything.

Linc Wilder traded in his Army uniform for his old cowboy boots and hat and the quiet seclusion of his cabin on the outskirts of the Wilder ranch in Tennessee. But things are far from quiet after Eva Lucas and her two friends crash into Bitter End and turn his family upside down.

He thought being stranded with the sharp tongued red-headed New Yorker during a blizzard was his worst problem. Then he realizes what real trouble is when a mystery from the family's past threatens everything. They'll all have to work together to save the family legacy. Friends. Enemies. Lovers… Good thing he and Eva qualify as all three.

Welcome to Bitter End, TN, a small town that is about to feel the heat. So are the men of the town’s founding family, the Wilder brothers. Because three broken-hearted women on the adventure of a lifetime stranded in the middle of nowhere can ignite plenty of passion… and maybe even spur these consummate bachelors into love.

    This book was such a fun read. Well written. The characters are all charming. I'd love to have a family like the Wilder family. The closeness between the siblings really warmed my heart. And their Christmas traditions were so creative.

    Eva was the last revenge traveler to get her Wilder. Their story was a bit rocky but worth it. Emmet was gotten rid of. This time hopefully for good.
    These are stand alone stories but are about the Wilder family. Definitely worth getting to know them

    The title alone of this book is intriguing enough to make you want to read it. But being another Wilder Brothers story by Cat Johnson makes it a "must read". The story of Linc and Eva, who've been stepping around each other through the series is a story of secrets, hotness, laughs, and hidden treasure. Pick it up & enjoy. You'll be waiting for another in this series definitely.

I especially LOVED the text messaging in the book looking like real texts. That was so cleverly done. Already owned the first two books and now will enjoy rereading them.

    This is Eva and Linc's story. They are like two peas in a pod and a fantastic couple. Lots of twists and turns and intrigue in this story. The Wilder Christmas challenge was great. Lots of laughter included. Another one for the keeper shelf.

    This is a fun read. Hard assed Eva's attitude falls away when love comes knocking. Linc is the perfect guy for her. An entertaining short series, thoroughly enjoyed.
