Surrender
She took what was his…
In a desperate attempt to escape the aftermath of her husband’s death, Starlee Rinehart purchases an old farmhouse in the small town of Aspen in the hopes of creating a new life for herself. The little house needs a few repairs, but she’s up for the challenge. What she doesn’t expect are the mixed signals she’s getting from the sexy, yet elusive cowboy who owns all the land surrounding her.
He wants it back…
Tyler Morgan grew up believing he’d inherit his grandparents’ farm. Upon his grandpa’s death, Tyler gains title to the land, but a callous twist of fate steals the accompanying farmhouse from him. He’s determined to get it back, no matter the cost. There’s only one problem, Starlee’s determined to stay.
Who will win?
He wants to hate her, but can’t. She wants to love him, but he won’t let her. When he finally realizes what’s important in life, will it be too late to convince her to stay?

Loved this HEA book! It was a beautiful country love story which triggered amazing chemistry, romance, emotions and left me believing one can fall in love again.
Enjoyed the way the author described the community in Aspen and their willingness and the kind hearted characters featured in the Novel.
I enjoyed the way in which the author described Tyler Morgan's personality. Starlee Rinehart was described as a lovely, gentle, and although heart broken, she managed to shift past the hurdle and her gentle flirtations were enjoyed when her and Tyler fell in love.

It was a good read but I wasn't especially excited about it. I liked the characters and the plot. I may pick up the next in the series at sometime to see if it will be better and keep me interested. I've read several others from this author that I liked so much better.

New found love
It was a joy to get acquainted with Tyler and Starlee. They both came from different troubled backgrounds and were able to rise above each one to find that special person

The spice is more vanilla, but the characters are very believable, even the sub-characters, which show up everywhere in the entire series. The stories are a little shorter than most, but packed with lots of sexual tension if not suspense. Sweet romantic reads with a down home feel.

The ending felt a bit rushed, as I expected it to, but for under 200 pages it was a cute read

The Tyler's only option is to put on house market. Hoping to get the money together thinking no one will ever want to buy a run down farm house.
Starlee struggled to cope with the abuse after her husband is killed in a car accident, so when looking at house on government auction site see lovely little house in middle of no where she buys it.
I love the build up of the relationship for starlee and Tyler.
Great story and HEA. This book has a epilogue which think finishes book of nicely.

Sweet Story
I'm really enjoying these shorter and sweet stories. They are right to the point which is a nice change of pace sometimes. Tyler and Starlee both deserved to be happy and they found that with each other. Once they let each other in their love went full speed ahead.

Good Book
This was a quick love story but did not have much drama in it. If you are looking for a light read this would be a good book to get. It did not have a cliffhanger so that was good just not exactly what I was looking for.

As usual, I really enjoyed Cindy Stark's writing. Tyler was great and Starlee was good. The town of Aspen and its residents are my favorite part and they community keeps growing. :)
