Rusty Walker has spent her entire life trying to earn her tough, ranching father's respect and approval by learning the business inside and out. But now her uncompromising parent has decreed she must marry if she wants to inherit. Worse, her husband has to be someone who can help her run the business. As if she needs it!

Williams Hill kissed Rusty in a bar in an act of temporary insanity, and lost his heart to her on the spot. Despite the complications to his own rodeo stock business, he agrees to marry the feisty red-head, hoping to woo her once they're hitched. But she only views him with suspicion and resentment.

Can this soft-spoken Texas cowboy convince his proud wife, who's never known unconditional love, that she is everything he wants?

RESISTING THE RANCHER is a sweet and sexy standalone Texas romance in a series of standalones! Saving the Sheriff, Resisting the Rancher, Taming the Troublemaker and Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas can be read in any order.

Kadie attempted to find a practical career related to her favorite pastime by earning a degree in English Rhetoric (Technical Writing) and an MBA. However, she swiftly discovered that writing without imagination is not nearly as fun as writing with it.

    Resisting the Rancher (The Hills of Texas Book 2)
    By: Kadie Scott
    5 out of 5 stars

    The story Resisting the Rancher (The Hills of Texas Book 2) by Kadie Scott is a contemporary western romance book. It is the first story that I have read by the author and I loved it. I fell in love with both the storyline and the characters more and more with every chapter that I read. I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I just had to know how it all turns out for Rusty Walker and Williams Hill. Williams is a man that has a business providing rodeo stock. He understands the business and the connections that need to be made in order to survive. What he can’t understand is the way he feels after meeting Rusty. Rusty is a beautiful, strong, and independent woman who also knows about the rodeo business. She is one that doesn’t get involved with rodeo cowboys. Her reaction to any interest is to turn cold. From the first time that these two meet they can’t stop thinking about each other. One kiss shows the attraction that is there. Is it fate or destiny that these two keep running into each other? Rusty is a woman who has built up walls around her heart. The past experiences and her father have taught her not to trust. Circumstances lead to Williams agreeing to marry Rusty. Will Williams be able to get her to let go of her suspicions and trust him? Will he be able to show her just how much he loves her and wants her as his own? Read to find out if Williams and Rusty find happiness together. I love it when a story makes you feel warm all over and that is exactly how I felt when reading this one. Your heart gets involved and I was crossing my fingers that Williams and Rusty find an HEA. I also loved reading about the other characters that are introduced in the book. Many of them are warm and caring and I enjoyed reading about how they interact with Rusty and Williams. I enjoyed reading about the rodeos that are attended. This is a well-written story that you don’t want to miss out on. It is the second book in a series and I can’t wait to read the next one.

Along comes Williams Hill who is a cowboy rancher providing stock to the rodeo circuit. Will sees Rusty at a rodeo and is attracted to her.

    What a wonderful story . How true it is so often times gruff window rancher treats the daughter like Rusty's father treated her. She wasn't good enough to inherit the ranch so he told her she had to marry someone he approved. Oh no. That doesn't go over at all. Enter Texas Rancher Will Hills. Can she trust him enough to work together and maybe a marriage of convenience. Only thing is what if it turns into more ...at least in one of their sides? This was a really good read. Several times I wanted Will to go and crack Rusty's dad over the head but Will ever the quite man let it okay out. I am really looking forward to the next book in the series.

    Kadie Scott knows how to plot abd how to write good characters, and description, but her editor, or perhaps her proofreader, is mediocre. There are grammatical errors, places where there are extra words as though a textual change was made but some of the original words were accidentally left in, and similar errors. They pulled me out of her imaginary world and sent me looking for my red pencil. Sad.

His family is great. They and Will are just what Rusty needed. Her dad is bitter and does not treat her with respect. She is not used to getting the respect and attention Will gives her. She is kind, dependable, and good with horses. I was not ready for the book to end.

    Resisting the Rancher is the second book in the Hills of Texas Series by Kadie Scott. Ms. Scott is a new-to-me author and I am really happy that I stumbled on her book, because I really enjoyed it and I will definitely be reading more of her work in the future. This is the second book in the series, but it can be read as a standalone, which is what I did. There are characters in this book who had their own story, in book #1- and they have intrigued me enough to want to go back and read their story as well.
    This book is a great contemporary/western/cowboy romance. There was drama, chemistry, some emotion, passion, and wonderful characters.
    Rusty Walker is quite an accomplished young woman- she is top level barrel racer, a brilliant horse trainer, a masterful rider, and can run a ranch with her eyes closed. But, even as talented as she is- she can’t seem to put a foot right when it comes to her controlling, hard-hearted father. She constantly feels the need to prove herself to him, but he never acknowledges her skills, let alone show her any affection. Rusty wants to take over the family ranch when her father retires, which she hopes will be soon. But instead, he announces that she won’t have anything to do with the ranch unless she marries within the next year. Rusty is shocked- she doesn’t even have a boyfriend, let alone a potential husband on hand. She really wants to be able to put her mark on the family ranch, but she has to face the fact that her dreams may be going up in smoke. What can she do? Because things don’t look good for her, and she may be left with no choice but to leave the only home she’s ever known.
    Williams Hill is a cowboy rancher, who is building a business providing stock to the rodeo circuit. He is a gifted horse trainer, and a savvy businessman. While at the latest rodeo, he notices a sexy redhead singing her heart out in the car stopped next to his at the lights. There is a spark of awareness between them, before she takes off when the lights change. Will can’t stop thinking about her but thinks he probably will never see her again. So, imagine his surprise when he sees her at the rodeo- but whenever he tries talking to her, she shuts him down. But as the days pass and they keep bumping into each other, she slowly begins to thaw.
    But she won’t allow herself to trust him completely, because she’s been burnt in the past- not to mention having a father like hers has given Rusty quite a lot of issues. When Will discovers who she is and what her father had demanded of her, he makes her a deal she can’t refuse. What is the deal you ask? And does Rusty’s suspicious nature get the better of her and end up derailing their blossoming romance? And will she finally win her father’s respect? All this and more can be discovered between the cover of this great book. You really should uncover all the answers for yourself. It really is worth the read!
    Now I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series, if this book is any indication, they are set to be awesome!
    Well done!

    Thank you, Ms. Scott!
