BLOG TOUR REVIEW - Kickin' Up Dust (Operation Cowboy #1) by Em Petrova

This Marine follows the rules. This cowgirl is all about breaking them.

Operation Cowboy, Book 1

After losing his best friend and CO, Matt, in combat, Brodie Bell didn't think his spirits could sink any lower. He was wrong. One look at his and Matt's storm-flattened hometown nearly levels him.
Los Vista needs a leader, and as Brodie takes the weight of the world on his shoulders, he comes up with a plan. Merge the two ranches left standing, pray for a good calving season…and keep his hands too busy to get busy with Matt's sexy little sister.

Danica was in pigtails when Brodie and Matt went off chasing glory. Now she's a woman with a broken heart, but if Matt knew of the depraved cravings Brodie ignites in her body, he'd haunt her from the grave.

As they work to mend miles of broken fences, Brodie fights to ignore Danica's tiny cutoff shorts and mile-long legs—and to ignore the "weapon" that's locked and loaded in his Levis. Because the last thing he wants is to dishonor his friend's memory by ravishing the sweetest little cowgirl he's ever laid eyes on.

Warning: Involves a sweet and sassy ranch girl who knows her way around a rope, and a Marine turned cowboy who'd like to tie her down and spank her until she begs for more.


This was my first time reading Em Petrova and I enjoyed this book. It's a sweet yet erotically hot friends-to-lovers story that also focuses on survival and learning to move on after loss. I couldn't imagine coming home from the military, not only without your closest friend who died fighting in the war, but to come home to find your hometown decimated by a tornado, but that's exactly what Brodie encountered. I liked how Brodie and Danica came together in order to help save their families' ranches, but also rallying together to try and help rebuild their hometown. There's not a lot of issues that hindered their relationship, other than Brodie's guilt from hooking up with his best friend's younger sister. Brodie and Danica do get their HEA and we readers get a smexy hot story!
