Romance mystery and horses
Great combination of themes. The plot is unexpected and fun to follow. The characters are complex, yet comfortable. I definitely hope for more of Lauren and Craig and Chronos

Twisting, turning - plot, emotions
One of my favorites so far. Adult without the X rating, characters with character, intersting (although with a bit of a stretch) equestrian action. Hate that it's a stand alone, but trying to serialize would be pushing it.

If you know me, you know that if I start a book, I'm going to finish it. No matter what. Many of my friends have tried their best to convince me that it is a waste of my time and energy to suffer through a book that I'm not enjoying. There are so many more good books out there waiting for me.
I have improved along those lines over the years. Lately I've read so many mediocre books even though the title had made it onto a bestseller list. I want to make sure that what I read is current with a few classics thrown in just because I love them. As a struggling writer myself, I feel it's important to give like minded people the attention they need to get their works into the hands of the book reading public. Someday I will ask them to return the favor. In the case of Kick On, I simply had to put it down and move on.
I met Kelly Jennings at a Christmas affair at Harmony Farms which is nearby. We had a nice conversation about her love of horses. She signed my copy and a portion of the proceeds from her books sales went back to the programs for children at Harmony Farms. To me, her passion and charity seemed to be an excellent reason to buy this book. Plus I'm not very good at saying no.
I think I gave Kick On a fair shot by reading the first 100 pages of a 500 page novel. There were so many grammar and punctuation errors, it distracted me. The writing was barely even fair, descriptive words repeated over and over applying them to unrelated people, places and things. Lauren, the main character, seemed shallow and distant. As much as I'd like to help a new writer like myself succeed, I couldn't find anything in Kick On to hold my interest. A good editor might be able to save this story by first shaving off a good 100 pages of unnecessary words and limp descriptions.
Good luck, Kelly but Kick On just wasn't for me.

it was a fun read, with some good horse scenes, although the storyline was far fetched and the underlying mystery didn't really fit or do anything for the story
